Those are inputs, ground truth, and outputs from various methods, not training data. Not sure what their training data is though lol.

Where do they show that?

Focus, hike, relax, focus, hike, relax, focus, hike...

>fMRI-to-image Not so impressive compared to EEG.

This is from a paper published back in September btw: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2309.14030.pdf

Subvocal speech recognition has been going just as long.

Seems like it could just be getting at some phonetic encoding, or even raw audio information. The grammatical and vocab transformations could be accounted for by an imperfect decod…

Elm can do iterative recursion, which is a thinly disguised loop without side effects.

Lol. IMO the difference between an C and Assembly (as between vacuum tubes and the abacus) is really a difference in power, since it allows the same program to be implemented on di…

The article is presenting a Scheme interpreter running in Scheme, compiled to WASM, not a Scheme compiler, but your idea is also cool. The WASM API apparently doesn't need a pre-ma…

I admit a scenario in which you have to communicate everything that the abstract communicates is kinda contrieved, though it could happen if the article is the main target of your …

Nah, this has more symbolic NLP vibes. LLMs mess up in subtler, more uncanny ways.

I think this can result from cases where paraphrase isn't useful but still culturally expected. For example, you often need to introduce the central point of another paper before y…

Not a fan of Python, but it isn't too bad pedagogically speaking. JS on the other hand... I hope WASM can one day kill it, leave it obsolete, and have it forcefully deprecated like…

Preferable to doing the Javascript edition of SICP.

>I think there are almost literally no software systems today that don't have bugs in them. Programs that have been formally verified with something like Coq can be bug free. Autom…

Yes, alignment is difficult in itself, but why would aligning a more advanced AI be any harder than what has already been done for current AI?

The article makes this sound a bit like a lamer, English version of the Antikythera mechanism. In reality it's just a quadrant, i.e., a portable sundial relying on gravity for alig…

Ok, those are some good points about what can go wrong. I still doubt that things are particularly more prone to going wrong in more intelligent systems. Wasn't it early, simplisti…

Is your point that a more intelligent AI would develop a more entangled measure of what is good, requiring more specific alignment to be overcome; by way of analogy, are chefs hard…

Is it fair to say that alignment is just the task of getting an AI to understand your intentions? It is an error to confuse the complexity of a specification of what kind of output…
