The first link is about consciousness. The second link is that language is not thought. The third link is that intentions as "discrete mental states" may not be found in the brain. This does not necessarily disprove the existence

How so?

The first link is about how philosophy and psychology is used to describe brain-cognitive behavior research, which has a limited explanatory capability compared to a hypothetical interpretation using its own vocabulary instead of those borr

Marble appears to be like HunyuanWorld to me, but this time they marketed it as a first step to a world model, and it has multimodal capabilities.

I think video and agentic and multimodal models have led to this point, but actually making a world model may provide to be long and difficult. I feel LeCun is correct that LLMs as of now have limitations where it needs an architectural ove

You cannot be serious if you expect people to mind read through your typos and make sense of them. Is this supposed to be a performative art piece to demonstrate your point? If you actually care about expressing your point to another person

Humans have created semantic connections of images and words to thoughts, and LLMs learn from the implicit semantic meanings behind the words used in text. Humans after all have to communicate thoughts to each other. If you are correct, the

You appear to be using random words and phrases to intentionally obfuscate the lack of substance in your responses. There is a baseline expectation of how quotes and citations are supposed to work within Western intellectual circles. The fa

That exact quote does not appear in the paper. You cannot attack me for your lack of due diligence. This paper does little to dismiss LLMs. LLMs can use a different medium than text and that would not take away from its underlying mathemati

When I look up that quote, it leads back to Hacker News comments. It is also a strange way to make a citation. You make blanket statements that are easily argued against, and now you respond with this nonsense. I accuse you of being an LLM

The keyword of that study is consciousness, which I'd consider a separate goal than an "intelligence". LLM proponents are aware that their architecture lacks many parts of what constitutes a complete brain, and there's o

Neural nets and LLMs were created based on neuroscience research. Ultimately they are approximations of how parts of the human brain works. The real concern of having no biomechanical skin in the game is lacking sensory input that could gro

The idea of this style of research and engineering in general is to create an approximation of observations of nature. To follow completely in your footsteps would require recreating the totality of physical evolution that led to intelligen

Identitarian politics can either be explicitly enforced or implicitly allowed. The woke chose the former. The opposition can do the latter but they also believe in checking identitarian interests in favor for personal freedom. There are con

There has been a consistent desire to unify the desktop environments, but the fragmentation has largely been because of differing use cases and philosophical perspectives. This divide is being further driven on the issue of X11 vs Wayland,

The case against LLM is thinking could be that "backpropagation is a leaky abstraction." Whether LLM is thinking depends on how well the mathematical model is defined. Ultimately, there appears to be a limit to the mathematical mo

If we had a society of actual engineers and hackers, sure. However, LLMs for the vast majority of people are simple chatbot oracles. The people paying exorbinant wealth in investments are aiming for essentially the Apple of AI where it magi

After reading this, it could be said that instead of work, we have abstracted it away. The capitalism of Marx dealt with the real work of productive factories. Neoliberal capitalism however outsourced work, and knowledge workers worked abou

That leads to the cost of cleaning up after the customer to make sure they can buy what they need. Before Amazon, there were the club warehouse retail models like Costco where the frontend experience was cut down and the backend infrastruct

We could be spending our time more wisely, but our addiction to quarterly cycles needs something now as opposed to a hypothetical better future for the displaced workers.

Software jobs replaced administrative white collar jobs where instead of the bureaucracy being human interaction and paper forms, it is computerized and encoded in malleable and evolving code. Sales underwent consolidation where the same hu

Authoritarian vs democracy is too overly simplistic a framework, IMO. More rather it is Chinese Marxist-Leninist democratic centralism vs Western liberal representative republics. The Communist Party of China obtains and centralizes authori

LLMs should at least -know- the semantics about the text it analyzed as opposed to the syntax.

What are the large context, strong reasoning, and linguistic facility for if there aren't facts underpinning them? Is a priori wholly independent of a posteriori? Is it practical for the former to be wholly independent of the latter?

If this were to be an analogy to AI, would inference discover information that wasn't found during training? Is this where hallucinations come from?

This goes back to the origin of cancel culture. Businesses hate risk, and here is a group presenting them with a perceived risk against their bottom line.

Political ideologies are similar to business ideologies. They are motivation to go change the equilibrium of political economy. "Insidious ideologies flourish" because there are people who think they will benefit from them and wan

US intelligence can and has infiltrated those groups and subverted them, and they can become intelligence assets themselves.
