We don't train current LLMs to mimic the average human's writing style. We train it to be smart, helpful, and knowledgable, too knowledgeable for a human. We can easily train a LLM to pass the Turing test if we wanted to, but then

Computation on human brain is on a totally different substrate than silicon. It's in memory and highly error prone. It's questionable a mere algorithm would get us there without a fundamental change in computer architecture. (in t

Security is another problem, and should be tackled systematically. Artificially making dependency inclusion hard is not it and is detrimental to the more casual use cases.

So we are paying 99% of the performance just for the 1% of cases where it's nice to code in. Why do people think it's a good trade-off?

Law should be considered to be artificial rules optimized for the collective good of society. What's the worst that can happen if we allow unregulated AI training on existing music? Musician as a job won't exist anymore lest for t

Can humans generate a song based on custom lyrics and style in a matter of minutes?

AlphaGo seems more like an automated process to me because you can start from nothing except the algorithm and the rules. Since a Go game only has 2 outcomes most of the time, and the model can play with itself, it is guaranteed to learn so

Andrej's video is great but the explanation on the RL part is a bit vague to me. How exactly do we train on the right answers? Do we collect the reasoning traces and train on them like supervised learning or do we compute some scores a

As consumer-hostile as Microsoft's practices are, and that these things needs to be optional, I find linking your Windows to a Microsoft's account still pretty useful. With it you can sync your Windows settings across different de

I think a lot has happened between 1960 and 2020: smartphones, internet, machine learning, hubble telescope, internet of things, ecommerce ... Going from personal computer of the 1960s to what we have today in our pocket is an enormous ach
