I think this is disingenuous comparison. When we read a book we can estimate the amount of data we're taking in based on the character count (each character being represented by some fixed amount of bits). What you're suggesting o

I really don't think your argument is very convincing. Some of your examples are downright ridiculous? "Jobs" Making a movie about one of the creation of some of one of the most famous companies on Earth is obviously interest

I think there's been natural but steady progress with since 2024 with the release of the o1 model, which showed impressive reasoning capabilities. But I think it's wrong to look at the magnitude of the accomplishments and assume t

Maybe you need to phrase it better. Like with a more specific direction of thinking.

I think your analogy is good but I don't believe modern LLMs use Lean or any lean-like structure in their proofs. At least recent open source ones like DeepSeek can do advanced math without it (maybe the most cutting edge ones are doin

Not a physicist either but my understanding is that is that if you believe that we can discover all the laws of physics that explain how the world operates then it needs to have a solution. Like we have formulas describing how gravity works

I can give you the exact mathematical formula used to statistically optimize the output of a neural network from input examples. Can you do the same for the brain?

Did you misstate your comment? The Jordan normal form is more general than spectral decomposition so it should come after.

I think this was a failure. The gold standard should be that the if every human driver was replaced with an AI how well could the system function. This makes it look like things would be catastrophic. Thus, showing how humans continue to be

Why are you phrasing your correction in the form of a question? I think it's pretty reasonable to infer that he mistakenly thought it was a Stanford study because the link was from Stanford.

You're missing the point. Those kind of narrow AI applications are not the motivation for the trillions of dollars being poured into AI. Of course AI has a variety of applications many disciplines, as it has for decades. The motivatio

I'd try a some more if I were you. I saw an example of generated infographic that was greatly improved over anything I've seen an image generator do before. What you desire seems in the realm of possibility.

I don't get why people act like this definition is so circular. If you were to explain in detail what "transforms as a second rank tensor" means then it wouldn't be circular anymore. This just isn't the full definit
