Is this a test to see whether people actually read the article? Because this is just copy-pasting the first paragraph. Edit: Looking at the comment history this is a spam account that constantly posts random snippets from the articles witho

You're talking about an optimization strategy that's a few hundred thousand years old though. (And might not even be an optimization strategy at all) Its applicability to modern life seems highly dubious considering the massive cu

Nothing is as boring as other people's dreams – unless you are part of their dream, then they become really interesting.

Although that's not really a good argument: (1) we don't know a lot about anything outside our solar system and (2) if this has happened a second time on earth it would be impossible for us to know since that thing would most like

Volkswagen just announced their next generation electric car that will be similar to the normal Golf/Polo and cost under 25k€ (which would be quite normal for an ICE car like this). I would be positive that the cost will go down signif

What is it about humans that makes you think we are more than a large LLM?

Thanks for the added explanation! German is my mother tongue as well and I also think "Bei diesem Bild habe ich mir nichts gedacht" is very elegant and basically not translatable.

Firstly, I like this project and the art itself. As others have said this is not a new thing in art but I think the presentation, the stamp and everything are quite nice. Now secondly, obviously the premise is also completely untrue and alm

"Really understanding the issues" might just mean "deeper neural networks and more input data" for the AI though. If you are already conceding that AI has the same capabilities as most humans your own intelligence will b

I understand almost nothing of the technology behind ChatGPT but even to me it seems obvious that a model designed for natural language processing should not be very good at simple calculation with large numbers – something which is never d

It enables action. Knowledge is not pointless but it is not the end goal. An education is not pointless but it is meant to lead to some action afterwards like designing a house after studying architecture. That action might even be creating

Interesting. I have heard about this famous speech many times but I have never made the connection to the pastry "Berliner" (or heard anyone mention this association). Also, as a native German speaker, saying "Ich bin ein Ber

In some (online) newspapers it's not uncommon for headlines to be just an interesting quote from the article and not the actual topic of the article. It's somewhat clickbaity and comes from the fact that the headlines are written

I think it's reasonable to assume that ChatGPT has politically similar viewpoints to those that made the fine-tuning and those are (in general) well-educated people living in California who hold (in general) more left leaning and liber

I like the small details, for example that the "pause" button doesn't immediately paus the music but it's (sort of) a very quick fade out instead. Actually, I would love to have that for normal music apps as well, normal

I think a more generous reading of the comment you are replying to could be (and probably is reasonable): It is hard to pay a lot of money for somebody that is living in agony with no chance of getting better, where death might be a good op
