> I believe a perfect solution exists. With one big caveat: you need a very clear set of requirements. Every constraint on the table. Tighten those enough and something interesting…

If it makes you feel better, most people don’t think they’re real intelligences

The only way to mitigate the damage an LLM can do because of prompt injection is to limit what that LLM can do in the first place. That’s what they mean by limiting its usefulness.…

I don’t think asking if someone lives in SF is ad hominem, but go off

I think they have the same app, but they don’t use it like this. It seems like you’re confident this happens a lot- do you live in San Francisco?

You’re the poster- do you live in the bay?

This is strictly a San Francisco tech problem. This isn’t happening to most people

It’s a bit like saying copy and paste must be intelligent because its output is indistinguishable from intelligent output. Reproduction of intelligence has never been equivalent to…

Would you say those humans understand what they’re talking about?

[dead]

Yes, I think we simply disagree. I think you know what LLMs are based on our other thread and if you think something important happens when you get a large enough context vector I …

Way better- thank you!

We’re in all the same threads lately!

I think if your definition of consciousness can fit these things then you’re more open minded than I care to be. Consciousness isn’t really guessing the next thing to say- it’s har…

The styling on the website makes me feel like my phone is a cylinder

While being slow to pass judgment or disregard an approach is a valuable trait in a senior Eng, I think 3 years is plenty of time to wait for proof of concept to pan out. It’s not …

To acquire new knowledge and build your understanding. They don’t understand so they can’t learn

You’re right, I’m very suspicious of HN when it comes to AI apologetics, but I shoulda trusted the parent commenter more.

Yeah, it not a linear cap (x% entropy doesn’t mean x% wrong) but it does seem like a hard cap. To be honest, the more I’ve understood scaling laws the more I think that the elephan…

This is a great read! I never realized the scale of the effort to find that BSD vulnerability- helps put things in perspective

Isn’t the limit exactly what you’re describing? There’s always uncertainty, and your asymptote can approach its limit but it does have a limit. That’s the limit to the intelligence…

Agents are always combining the same underlying weights to their inputs, relying on the same maps of semi-semantic space and the relationships between those that it was leaning tow…

The first sentence is “understand or learn any intellectual task that a human can.” Whatever you think of the benefits of LLMs, they don’t understand and they can only learn during…

My understanding is that the true entropy floor of a language is intractable- regardless of context length there will be “unpredictable” tokens where cross entropy loss is bound to…

And sitting right next to the data and compute factors in every cross entropy loss equation is the entropy of the language, which is just a fixed constant. There’s such a hard cap …
