Hit me up, if you can. I’m focused on neolatin texts from the renaissance. Less than 30% of known book editions have been scanned and less than 5% translated. And that’s before even getting to the manuscripts. https://Ancientwisdomtrust.org Also working on kids handwriting recognition for https://smartpaperapp.com
Sounds actually perfect. I’ll send you an email. Thank you!

Ilya Sustkever was on a podcast, saying to imagine a mystery novel where at the end it says “and the killer is: (name)”. Saying it’s just a statistical model generating the next most likely word, how can it do that in this case if it doesn’t have some understanding of all the clues, etc. A specific name is not statistically likely to appear
It can't do that without the answer to who did it being in the training data. I think the reason people keep falling for this illusion is that they can't really imagine how vast the training dataset is. In all cases where it appears to answer a question like the one you posed, it's regurgitating the answer from its training data in a way that creates an illusion of using logic to answer it.

They are actually not really all that common at all. We get 1, maybe 2 in a busy month.
Disagree highly with this. It was up to twice a week before AI. Curious why AI made the rate go down. You seem like a high iq individual. So someone with your intellectual capability must be offended that I would even suggest that HNers love to think of themselves as smart.

So if two sentences that make no sense to you sandwich one that does, you should totally accept the middle one at face value. K.
Yes. You chose to repeat those words in that sequence in that place. You could have said anything else in the whole wide world, but you chose to use a quote from an ancient video game stating that someone was horrible. Sorry if I'm being autistic and taking things too literally again, working on having social skills was a different thread from today.
If that sentence was by itself, I would understand your complaint. But as-is I'm having a hard time seeing the issue.
And the weird analogy where you added "someone's pointing a gun at you" undermines your stance more than it helps.

Troll elsewhere.
Look no offense. The truth sometimes is like that. Everybody needs a bit to stay grounded.

I am unique. Totally. It is not like HN is flooded with cognition or psychology or IQ articles every other hour. Not at all. And whenever one shows up, you do not immediately get a parade of people diagnosing themselves with whatever the headline says. Never happens. You post something about slow thinking and suddenly half the thread whispers “that is literally me.” You post something about fast thinking and the othe…
Ah, so you were just attempting sarcasm?
You're drawing conclusions from _this_? Let alone pretending that "it did a something else unexpected that can only be described as genuine, human-like, expert level reasoning."
Give me a break. This entire industry is impossible to take seriously.

I disagree. The actual capabilities of LLMs remain unclear, and there's a great deal of reasons to be suspicious of anyone whose paycheck relies on pimping them.
The capabilities of LLMs are unclear but it is clear that they are not just search engines or autocompletes or stochastic parrots. You can disagree. But this is not an opinion. You are factually wrong if you disagree. And by that I mean you don’t know what you’re talking about and you are completely misinformed and lack knowledge. The long term outcome if I’m right is that AI abilities continue to grow and it basical…
I like being productive, not babysitting a semi-literate program incapable of learning
