Reading this headline has hit me unexpectedly hard :( Black banner please.

It's true, this will certainly not be a high speed network as 2.7 kHz is the max allowed bandwidth (compared 500 kHz for LoRa). But it should be fast enough for transmitting text m…

> Humans "hallucinate" in the AI sense (it's an awful word that obscures how often we do it) all the time too. Agreed. I'd like to add another point to the discussion. It seems to …

> I don't understand the "coincidentally" argument. Nothing is coincidental about those models. They were designed after processes in the brain. They underwent rigorous training to…

This paper highlights a crucial aspect of evaluating AI language models: the significance of prompt construction (e.g. adding "think step by step"). When a model is given insuffici…

I am pretty sure that the development of a consciousness in coming LLMs is unavoidable. A consciousness is just another useful abstraction for making precise predictions about the …
