Meta never matched the competition with their Llama models. They've never even come close. And Llama 4 was an actual disaster.

> The evidence shows that there is no methodological moat for LLMS. Does it? Then how come Meta hasn't been able to release a SOTA model? It's not for a lack of trying. Or compute.…

It's strange how people seem to think that Good Old Fashioned Journalism was objective and reliable. Bias is certainly not a modern invention. This bizarre nostalgia for an era tha…

Min-maxing the non-fiction equivalent of pilsners, sounds like an excellent way to spend your time.

The clear explanation is that neither Google nor Meta have had "ChatGPT" moments—everyone and their grandmothers have tried OpenAIs LLM so it's hardly surprising that people are ex…

That's the (hard) problem of qualia. You can't say for sure that ChatGPT doesn't experience anything. And I can't say for sure that you do, either. It's trivial to dismiss it on th…

Why would there be a falsifiable hypothesis in it? Do you think that's a criterion for something being a scientific paper or something? If it ain't Popper, it ain't proper? LLMs dr…

The author makes a mistake here. It's fine to think of entropy as messiness; that's the Boltzmann picture of statistical mechanics. The mistake is thinking that lowering entropy, o…

A much more obvious explanation is that it involved nothing more than stream-of-consciousness rambling. You take a random sentence and you convince someone it's deep and profound. …

This reminds me of a short story by Ken Liu ( https://www.uncannymagazine.com/article/50-things-every-ai-w... ). He trained an AI on his own corpus of stories and made it spit out …

They used GPT-3 and DALL·E 2. For the latter, there's a waitlist on OpenAIs website. For GPT-3 they have an API available to developers and there are various apps which use it like…

There's a difference between low-res and high-res; that's what I'm getting at. I think it's interesting to know a little about how it might work. There is something new and interes…

I think my use of the term "high-res" already implied that.

I disagree that critic reviews are inherently prescriptive. Major blockbusters rely on cliches for the same reason that supermarket chains spend ridiculous amounts of money trying …

It doesn't, actually. There are high-res versions of important events. The locus coeruleus-noradrenaline system act in concerto with the amygdala to induce protein synthesis in the…

Yeah, it's not a novel idea. Gregory Chaitin has been talking about this for a long time. And a whole bunch of other people. I can't find all that many of them listed in the citati…

There's a difference between 'after' and 'during'.

Yeah, I think people are mostly confused here. Open access is a thing when we're talking about peer-reviewed journals. arXiv hosts preprints, meaning they are available before the …

Honest question: if an anti-vaxxer said that to you, how would you react? I don't feel threatened by McGilchrist and I don't feel threatened by TikTok influencers. I mostly feel an…

Neuroscientist? He's just a psychiatrist. The video also mentions his "revolutionary theory" and that's just ... wrong. He writes a huge book based mostly on pioneering work by Rog…

What chaos means in this context is "sensitive dependence on initial conditions" meaning if there's just a tiny amount of noise in your model of the behavior it's going to become u…

The ideas of Hofstadter and Hawkins aren't really related. Hawkins postulated a singular predictive algorithm as the explanation of how our neocortices works. Hofstadter has focuse…

Stories are compressed representations of complex spatiotemporal patterns. We use stories to make sense of the world and to share our insights with others. And if you think about i…

The PC crowd is right. Language encodes our cultural beliefs, and many of them are pretty rotten. But how do you update a culture's shared set of beliefs? Banning words is a symbol…
