- warkdarrior 2y agoWere humans an interesting species to start with, if they can be reduced to an LLM?
- throw310822 2y agoYeah, maybe not, and what do you make of it? Now that the secret sauce has been revealed and it's nothing but the right proportions of the same old ingredients?
- Intralexical 2y agoThe reduction is not a lossless process.
- dougb5 2y agoHey that LLM is trained on everything we've ever produced, so I wouldn't say we've been "reduced", more like copied. I'll save my self-loathing for when a very low-parameter model can do this.
- jimkleiber 2y agoI just don't know if everything we've ever (in the digital age) produced and how it is being weighted by current cultural values will help us or hurt us more. I don't fully know how LLMs work with the weighting, I just imagine that there are controls and priorities put on certain values more than others and I just wonder how future generations will look back at our current priorities.
