1000 lines?? What is going on in this thread

It’s pretty sad. The only way we know these comments are from AI bots for now is due to the obvious hallucinations. What happens when the AI improves even more…will HN be filled with bots talking to other bots?

It already is in some threads. Sometimes you get the bots writing back and forth really long diatribes at inhuman frequency. Sometimes even anti-LLM content!

Since this post is about art, I'll embed here my favorite LLM art: the IOCCC 2024 prize winner in bot talk, from Adrian Cable ( https://www.ioccc.org/2024/cable1/index.html ), minus the stdlib headers: #define a(_)typedef _##t #define _(_)_##printf #define x f(i, #define N f(k, #define u _Pragma("omp parallel for")f(h, #define f(u,n)for(I u=0;u c[t*W+k]*y[i*W+k];v[h]= _*X->f[t]*l[i]+!!i*v[h];}x D-c)i[r]+=v[i];}I main…

wiat what does this do?

As the contest entry page explains:

> ChatIOCCC is the world’s smallest LLM (large language model) inference engine - a “generative AI chatbot” in plain-speak. ChatIOCCC runs a modern open-source model (Meta’s LLaMA 2 with 7 billion parameters) and has a good knowledge of the world, can understand and speak multiple languages, write code, and many other things. Aside from the model weights, it has no external dependencies and will run on any 64-bit platform with enough RAM.

(Model weights need to be downloaded using an enclosed shell script.)

This is beautiful and highly readable but, still, I yearn for a detailed line-by-line explainer like the backbone.js source: https://backbonejs.org/docs/backbone.html

That is really beautiful literate program. Seeing it after a long time. Here is a opus generate version of this code - https://ashish01.github.io/microgpt.html

Humans need way less data. Just compare Waymo to average 16 year-old with car.

A 16 year old has been training for almost 16 years to drive a car. I would argue the opposite: Waymo’s / Specific AIs need far less data than humans. Humans can generalize their training, but they definitely need a LOT of training!

No 16 year old has practiced driving a car for 16 years.

It’s pretty staggering that a core algorithm simple enough to be expressed in 200 lines of Python can apparently be scaled up to achieve AGI. Yes with some extra tricks and tweaks. But the core ideas are all here.

1000 lines?? What is going on in this thread

Ok 200 lines.

Don’t know how I ended up typing 1000.

Or even 1000 python lines, also wrong. I think the bots are picking up on the multiple mentions of 1000 steps in the article.

btw my friend is asking if your username is a "Klara and the Sun" reference

I've read the book and I'm a fan of Ishiguro in general, but I'm failing to make the reference, so I'm going to go with "no" :)

Is there something similar for diffusion models? By the way, this is incredibly useful for learning in depth the core of LLM's.

LLMs won’t lead to AGI. Almost by definition, they can’t. The thought experiment I use constantly to explain this: Train an LLM on all human knowledge up to 1905 and see if it comes up with General Relativity. It won’t. We’ll need additional breakthroughs in AI.

The 1905 thought experiment actually cuts both ways. Did humans "invent" the airplane? We watched birds fly for thousands of years — that's training data. The Wright brothers didn't conjure flight from pure reasoning, they synthesized patterns from nature, prior failed attempts, and physics they'd absorbed. Show me any human invention and I'll show you the training data behind it. Take the wheel. Even that wasn't inv…

Nice ChatGPT answer. Put some real thought and data in it too.
