You should stop thinking about sides. There are no sides. There are different opinions and facts

Thinking for yourself doesn’t mean rejecting science and 50 years of research in an area where there’s a rare 99% consensus among scientists (check: Lynas et al., Environmental Res…

Exactly! Politics try to appease the mass. If the mass would be willing to put climate change first we would have other policies, instead we follow the dark visions of lunatic bill…

Sad to see how many climate sceptics are even on HN

Thank you Armin, Mario and team for the great writeup, absolutely agree and I love what you guys are building

Actually not quite true: Memory is distributed across synaptic weights rather than sitting at an address or location. The difference is that human retrieval isn’t a read operation,…

Yes there is no definitive proof, but the reverse is also not true. Please read some science on that in neurology and biology. Yes it is hard to define, though there are definition…

I recently read an article about a brain scientist that said how dangerous it is to use the same words for completely different things. We use human analogy to describe LLMs and th…

There is absolutely ZERO evidence or possibility that LLMs are currently conscious, everyone working in AI knows this, (and don’t listen to the marketing hypes). LLMs still can’t r…

Well at least the slug has intent.

Actually I work in a AI (like actually training models) and yes the models are insane, still the architecture has not in its core changed. Also „reasoning“ is actually a bad word f…

That would still be circumventing. There are other architectures that could be more dynamic, LLMs are not. It is completely different. Our brain rewires itself to store memories, t…

No they don’t have memories. With an harness you just send historic data into the prompt.

We use the same terms for computers and brain, but the analogies are misleading. LLMs don’t even have memory, how do you have consciousness without memory? The architecture probibi…

Nope, only if the architecture changes. Still probabilistic prediction models

That is a lazy definition. A machine doesn’t even want to watch TV. Apes are conscious, dolphins are, maybe octopus, but definitely not LLMs

Yes, there is a lot of philosophy on that, but the way LLMs work is inherently different from brains, though we use similar terms, hence the confusion. You are right there may be a…

Thinking LLMs are conscious is as ridiculous as thinking a thermostat wants the room to be warm

Most sci-fi is about genuinely sentient AI, and we are far from that. There is no sign of any intent or internal motivation. If you know anything about machine learning, you know t…

In the big picture, the amount of resources poured into this contest is probably close to 0%. Also why worse? Some great designs out there.

There is enough info online, this is just the survey. Yes site looks like shit, but cool they ask the people.

I don’t really get why this gets so much hate. Seems like this is the era of Eurohate. I think it is great that people get asked for their opinion, why not.
