    It is not about what the model tells you. This paper shows an emergent world model in an LLM that was taught to play otello moves https://ar5iv.labs.arxiv.org/html/2210.13382 https…

    LLMs do have explicit world models that can be even manipulated. There are many recent papers on the subject.

    Please see my reply to parent. > "fusion by 1990 instead of 2000..." Those three dots are omitting the most important part of the issue if we spend that much extra money on R&D In …

    As far as I understand in this specific case yes. The whole schtick of GPT-3 is the insight that we do not need to come up with a better algorithm than GPT-2. If we dramatically in…

    There is no indication that it was "the judiciary's decision" to store it "near a major population center". That's a story floated by the head of customs to try and shift the blame…

    Off the top of my head: Concurrency and parallelism using high level and low level APIs. There is no GIL. Grammars which are like regular expressions on steroids for parsing. ( adm…
