Your link is interesting, but I don't like your take on somehow this argument between behaviorism and Chomsky being solved and the former being now "ridiculous looking back". This is just the dance of theories, and as a matte

Oh, but this is interesting. If some countries stand to gain more by declaring copyrighted works "fair use" for training generative models, then other countries can either fall in line or risk falling back in technological develop

It's not for a cool 20 minute video. It's for the collective viewing time of some 2.2 billion minutes of entertainment. There is no reason to use bootstrap-budget on the supply when the demand is this high.

It’s nonsensical to claim that to prove something you have to disprove alternate explanations. In an information environment where confirmable facts are scarse, you get the clearest vision by operating on probability. And on black-swan-tier

Interstellar travel is possible even with the physics we know. A sub-light civilization could colonize the entirety of Milky Way in a million years or so. The question is what the probability is for an intelligent species to evolve per sola

Roswell isn't known to be anything to the general public. The public has a similar fog-of-war on Roswell as it has on the modern unidentified aerial phenomena. Therefore stigmatizing one group unfortunately stigmatizes the other group

I've always found that saying dumb. It's basically stating that this is the null hypothesis, and you have to have p = 0.001 to convince me otherwise. When dealing with complex questions of which we have but datapoints, the probabi

True, especially regarding how easily their services can be replicated. Their margins are low, and customer acquisition does not provide them with network effects that would yield a moat.

Depends on what you mean by ’wrapper’. For most AI startups it isn’t viable to train their own models. For most customer use-cases, ChatGPT interface isn’t enough. Wrappers are currently the only logical implementation of AI to production.

PTSD is more than a layer of indirection, it’s a bed for the current direction of research focused on trauma. Shell shock isn’t a good term for home abuse for example, but the current dogma is that similar neurological mechanisms underly th

Then again, the rover would have found the sub from the location even if it were intact, and there could have been a small chance of survival since they had the equipment. Hope is more important than agony.

That's luckily not relevant here. Multiple sources have independently confirmed the same rumors. This means that there is a significant probability of it being true.

Is there some reason why RNNs can’t be used as a trace at the end of the context window, as a ’medium-term’ memory of sorts?

Maybe there’s enough money in Europe that investors who were anxious to join the AI train jumped the gun. Indeed the whole thing is sketchy.

It was laughed at by consumers. There was a time not long ago when buying anything from internet was considered taboo because, you said it, fear of losing your credit card information to scammers.

I, for one, do believe watermarking solutions exist. One thing you cannot escape with LLMs is content meaning. As a simple example, the secret watermark could be hidden in the embeddings of the sequence of words. To make the watermark more
