1. The initial stage of adoption of AI will be more of a shift (some plus + here and some minus there) and reorientation and restructuring than net exponential growth. 2. Also a go…

Syria became a hell for its citizen exactly because Obama run away from enforcing the very red line (chemical weapons) he himself had drawn (for himself). He basically allowed the …

Your simplistic recipe shows you don't understand the situation and way for improvement in either case.

You obviously seem to have no idea how mafia-style dictatorships like those of Iran, Russian and Venezuela work. No fault of you. Most people don't. And even their own citizens com…

Google is still far far better than the competition which is crawling with manipulated results and fake sites and phishing scams. The other are so much easier to take advantage of …

To me its function looks similar to a sponge or a tampon: An additional piece that absorbs the external influence and then is subtracted away (you remain dry:)))

Regarding the conclusion about language-invariant reasoning (conceptual universality vs. multilingual processing) it helps understanding and becomes somewhat obvious if we regard e…

So Erdogan wants to be Putin of Turkey. It's up to the Turks if he can succeed.

...until they distill that "11x efficient training" again ...

Don't forget that this model probably has far less params than o1 or even 4o. This is a compression/distillation, which means it frees up so much compute resources to build models …

He seems to have won an ACM award also and there as a (possible) picture of him there. https://awards.acm.org/award-recipients/burrows_9434147

Reminds me of how Google's AlphaGo learned to play the best Go that was ever seen. And this somewhat seems a generalization of that.

Sam Altman and OpenAI are following the example of Celebrimbor it seems. And I love what may come next...

A linear graph with a log scale on the vertical axis means the original graph had near exponential growth. A linear graph with a log scale on the the horizontal axis means the orig…

"Safe super-intelligence" is an oxymoron.

Exactly. That's what I also thought the last time someone brought this up in these forums (couple of years ago). It's a hint to the structure of the brain and also the mind (we can…

Yeah, but evolution's most "clever" invention is consciousness, human brain and its highest state philosophy. It's all the work of evolution. Evolution's most "clever" turn and inv…

> "Is it really possible that this space is so rich as to have a single point in it encapsulate a whole novel?" Not with this GPT. The context size would not allow keeping attentio…

Do not be fooled by the simplicity; The magic itself is in the many Q, K and V matrices (each of which is huge) which are learned and depend on the language(s). This is just the fo…

And even then it's only a disguise. The two degrees-of-freedom which a complex numbers has, are still there (and QM needs it for interference, etc.). There is not way getting aroun…

I don't think complex numbers are entirely without "fundamental physical basis"; Distinct antiparticles (antimatter) could be said to be the manifestation of complex numbers in the…

Of course the rate of expansion is not constant; That's the whole deal with dark energy which is understood to drive accelerated expansion of space due to its negative pressure (wh…

That explanation closely follows the outline of the equally good and very accessible explanation offered in the Halliday/Resnick/Walker's Fundamental's physics (11 edition, chap. 4…

So this guy is basically complaining about GPT-4 not being a super-intelligence. Still that makes it more powerful and versatile thae the great majority of programmers out there...…

At the deepest level, this is all a manifestation of Godel's incompleteness theorem (equivalent to Turing's undecidability theorem). You cannot build a system capable of "fiction" …
