This sort is why limits to private wealth and power are, IMO, a good idea We have already seen petroleum companies burn the world for profit Tech is doing its best to eliminate privacy for profit What would Sam do or not do, for profit?

#43I still don't really know how they're measuring AGI. They all seem very sure about it, does someone have a good definition? OpenAI just say "AI systems that are generally smarter than humans". That's not measurable. What will it look like when AGI is achieved?

I can't decide if these people are so conceited they actually believe the AGI nonsense or it's just a cynical marketing ploy to string these reporters along.

This makes some sense to me. My experience with GPT is that it is capable of straightforward logical inference, but not more inspired thinking. It lacks the ability for a “eureka moment”. All complex inference it appears to have is a result of its training set. It is incapable of solving certain kinds of logic problems that a child would be able to solve. As an example, take the wolf, goat, and cabbage problem, but c…
What do so many posters seem to claim to have stumped it?

I think there is enough there to make me believe it's real. After all, a big objection to LLMs is they are just "fancy autocomplete" or "stochastic parrots". I don't agree, but LLMs famously are "bad at math", that is you can't really train them to do math unless they've seen previous calculations with similar numbers in their training sets. Training an AI system to truly do arbitrary mathematical logic (think "compl…
Generally true before xVal[1], but not exactly true after. Expect fairly basic advancement in the future to solve this problem completely.

#49Could it be named in reference to something like the A* search algorithm? What if Q stands for Query in transformer attention? How would that type of search translate to transformers? They said that it's able to solve simple math problems. If it's related to A* then maybe it's trying to find a path to something. The answer to a word problem?
My mind went to Q learning.
