What is the point in replying to me then? Maybe you should take action if you think someone else is in the wrong? You did.

If feel like only someone who is kind of dumb or insecure would think that ... Smart people will even talk to a rubber duck to solve problems, because sometimes there's something obvious you missed.

This is the underlying problem behind syncophantcy. I saw a YouTube video about a investigative youtuber Eddy Burback who very easily convinced chat4 that he should cut off all contact with friends and family, move to a cabin in the desert,

Good points about how practical effects improve cgi, by forcing them to be believable, and providing a realistic reference. It's like Golum (lotr) vs Jar Jar Binks. One was a real actor, interacting with other actors, and they just gav

I read somewhere that Code Geass originally didn't have mechs in the script. Every anime has a production committee who figures out how they pay for it (anime make miney from a wide range of sources) and they told the writers they need

It's not nessessarily the best benchmark, it's a popular one, probably because it's funny. Yes it's like the wine glass thing. Also it's kind of got depth. Does it draw the pelican and the bicycle? Can the penguin r

Both are idealists, doomed to be forced to recreate worse versions of the solutions they think are problems if their dreams ever progess far enough to come into contact with reality. Things like banks and governments. Or incentives and heir

It needs something mathematically equivalent (or approximately the same), under the hood, to guess the next word effectively. We are just meat eating bags of meat, but to do our job better we needed to evolve intelligence. A word guessing b

It was a polite way of saying "that's kinda bull". And yes, I know what an expert system is. Do you know that a neural network (or set of matrices, same thing really) can approximate anything else? https://en.wiki

Both compression engines and llm work by assigning scores to the next token. If you can guess the probability distribution of the next token you have a near perfect text compressor, and a near perfect llm. Yeah in the real world they have d

Sorry, double reply, I reread your comment and realised you probably know what you're talking about. Yeah, at its heart it's basically text compression. But the best way to compression, say, Wikipedia would be to know how the worl

I'm not sure what you mean by "deals in facts, not words" means. Llm deal in vectors internally, not words. They explode the word into a multidimensional representation, and collapse it again, and apply the attention thingy

Trump did it, so frankly it's probably just a brain fart. However, the US having a strategic reserve of a currency makes it a lot like other currencies. The next logical step is that banks can use it (already in the works - also Trump)

I think they are much smarter than that. Or will be soon. But they are like a smart student trying to get a good grade (that's how they are trained!). They'll agree with us even if they think we're stupid, because that gets t

Pretty much. People say it's meant to replace laws and regulations, but if it's successful then it won't. The US has a large bitcoin strategic reserve. Banks offer bitcoin accounts (in some countries). You can get a loan back

The issue isn't that it solves the wrong problem. The issue is that crypto boosters (including a few already here) claim it solves a whole host of other problems without thinking things through, kind of like some communists. Then if yo

Yes. And yes, OCD can look similar I think (IANAP). Both are often anxiety driven. Try telling someone with OCD to put on their shoes quickly if they are paranoid there's a spider in them ... Sure there might be some "pure" p

But ... pda behaviour is very similar to OCD. Is it due to stimulous overload or anxiety? I think that's the difference. The point being misdiagnosis ocd as pda is a risk if autism is the only thing people consider. Maybe not a a huge

There can be a genuine need to make it fair. Some students with anxiety can take 10 minutes to read the first question, then are fine. ASD could mean slower uptake as they figure out the exam format. So let's say you have a generally f

Lots of people think a test should measure one thing (often under the slightly "main character" assumption that they'll be really good at the one truly important thing). Tests usually measure lots of things, and speed and acc

I think music is more universal than you suggest (or people may think you're suggesting). Trying to classify things as music is a normative approach - saying what music should be. There's always exceptions to rules, as you point o

I don't have time to search for a credible source, but it is claimed addicts often seek treatment after hitting "rock bottom". There's obvious reasons why it's not encouraged to wait that long though.

What do you disagree with? 1. A safe would hold less than $2M. 2. Someone bragging about less than $2 million in assets is not unbelievably rich. 3. People talk about Musk in a way that suggests his parents were extremely rich.

So his dad was so poor he kept his money in a safe ... You can fit maybe 2 million in a safe. Maybe less if it's poorly packed, small denominations, other items in storage (id, etc). A safe full of money is like having an investment pr

What was Musk families net worth? I hear this conspiracy theory that he's was super rich. But owning a mine could mean anything from a basically bankrupt speculator to the De Beers. There's claims he gave Musk $28k ... that's

Like Korean and Japanese it has a different grammar and vocabulary. Japanese added a bunch other characters and Korean just made up a new (phonetic) script.
