Yes, Many of the the philosophical concepts which we previously thought were contingent on consciousness (like knowledge, in the philosophical sense, will, intelligence, agency, ...) have almost nothing to do with it, and they look far more

Will has almost nothing to do with consciousness (as does knowledge). Will is just result of a very complex yet deterministic (unconscious) computation by an agent which guides their future action (it's that orientation/aboutness

1. The initial stage of adoption of AI will be more of a shift (some plus + here and some minus there) and reorientation and restructuring than net exponential growth. 2. Also a good portion of contribution of AI is where it's not take

Syria became a hell for its citizen exactly because Obama run away from enforcing the very red line (chemical weapons) he himself had drawn (for himself). He basically allowed the massacre to escalate.

Your simplistic recipe shows you don't understand the situation and way for improvement in either case.

You obviously seem to have no idea how mafia-style dictatorships like those of Iran, Russian and Venezuela work. No fault of you. Most people don't. And even their own citizens come to the realization after a long time living under the

Google is still far far better than the competition which is crawling with manipulated results and fake sites and phishing scams. The other are so much easier to take advantage of and manipulate (e.g. search ranking). No security based filt

To me its function looks similar to a sponge or a tampon: An additional piece that absorbs the external influence and then is subtracted away (you remain dry:)))

Regarding the conclusion about language-invariant reasoning (conceptual universality vs. multilingual processing) it helps understanding and becomes somewhat obvious if we regard each language as just a basis of some semantic/logical&#

Don't forget that this model probably has far less params than o1 or even 4o. This is a compression/distillation, which means it frees up so much compute resources to build models much powerful than o1. At least this allows furthe

Reminds me of how Google's AlphaGo learned to play the best Go that was ever seen. And this somewhat seems a generalization of that.

Exactly. That's what I also thought the last time someone brought this up in these forums (couple of years ago). It's a hint to the structure of the brain and also the mind (we can observe it at the consciousness level in ourselve

Yeah, but evolution's most "clever" invention is consciousness, human brain and its highest state philosophy. It's all the work of evolution. Evolution's most "clever" turn and invention is it achieving se

Do not be fooled by the simplicity; The magic itself is in the many Q, K and V matrices (each of which is huge) which are learned and depend on the language(s). This is just the form of the application of those matrices/transformations

And even then it's only a disguise. The two degrees-of-freedom which a complex numbers has, are still there (and QM needs it for interference, etc.). There is not way getting around the number of degrees-of-freedom of a system or a the

I don't think complex numbers are entirely without "fundamental physical basis"; Distinct antiparticles (antimatter) could be said to be the manifestation of complex numbers in the physical world. The important thing to keep

At the deepest level, this is all a manifestation of Godel's incompleteness theorem (equivalent to Turing's undecidability theorem). You cannot build a system capable of "fiction" (Russel's formal axiomatic system o
