Are you also a professional Astronomer that can accurately vet his claims and research?

My own observation while using the OpenAI API is that it is massively rate limited due to the enormous demand. So while the public hype may have lessened the actual demand for thei…

Generally have been satisfied with Anker, though that stuff is made in China the chargers and batteries have been good. Monoprice used to be good but I haven't used anything from t…

You should probably think about why you think that making the model output reasoning steps which lead it to correctly answer questions it couldn't before is not somehow equivalent …

Yeah man they have teams on standby to adjust the model whenever a random unknown author posts something on obscure pre-print servers. Then they spend hundreds of thousands of comp…

>You had time to respond though, what a silly (and elitist rebuttal). What a dumb take. It probably takes seconds to write a simple comment and far longer to read a paper. >You arg…

The probability that a Stochastic Parrot returns coherent reasoning seems vanishingly small.

"Stochastic Parrot" is a really tired take and none of the major players, Ilya Sutskever, Andrej Karpathy, etc. believe that's all these models are doing.

Quartz = SiO2 --> Silicon and Oxygen QED

With you there. A lot of Chinese labs are listed e.g. but my own experience trying to replicate materials science results from "credible" Chinese labs has led to a lot of disappoin…

The proposed mechanism for superconductivity in lk-99 is pretty different so that may be confounding your interpretation of those graphs.

Yeah so hard to make money during the Dotcom boom with all your dad's apartheid emerald mine money. How does his boot taste?

What?? You mean Elon made another colossal mistake, bbbut hes such a business genius...

>Its interesting how many lower income people have iphones, Jordans, Teslas/Mustangs/Corvettes Yeah all those food stampers buying Corvettes and Teslas is so annoying. Lolwut

This is of course false. We can't prove how any system is able to have emotions much less prove that a system can't

You jest but that is actually a subject of real research.

The same can be said about meat brains, they just execute natural programs. There's no reason in principle why a meat brain should be able to experience emotion and silicon brains …

Ah yes all that research money will be used to buy mansions and ferarris. Do you have a clue how this stuff works in real life? Also note that until maybe the last year not only wa…

So the fact that thousands of researchers with billions of dollars behind them to build this omnipotent being means nothing to you? Because they all certainly think it's achievable…

If you look at actual quotes from people like Sam Altman, Ilya Sutskever, Demis Hassabis, etc. the AI, that is to say really the AGI, that they want to build is a godlike super int…

>I have been asked by many people to explain how AI could kill us all. How about some clarity for common people. There are countless resources to find this stuff out. To be clear t…

This feels like a boat that sailed long ago. I don't know anyone using cash for anything more than small incidental purchases, I'd say it's generally impossible to structure you li…

> I’ve seen a lot of crazy conspiracy theories reveal themselves to be true in the past five years. Such as what? >Apply some critical thinking on this. Governments and corporate e…

Just another result of the terrible Publish or Perish incentives in Academia.
