My point was more that it wasn't an entirely American project.

Given that OpenAI and Anthropic have had major incidents in the last few weeks why will giving them a monopoly on models make thing safer? The correct response is for these two companies to be closed down and their executives imprisoned. Ye

Absolutely reliably the best way to increase your chance of survival in a situation like this is to have good relations with your neighbours in a good community with high trust. A large number of people working together will be much more li

That's approximated by the portals - the people building these go and look at Expedia for their flow and design ideas... so the information permeates across.

In what way do you think it learns?

by sgt101 12d ago
I don't think it can learn from context, otherwise we could write Jane Eyre into it and it would be the novel? It's not learning as we conceive of it - it's another thing that we have labelled as "in context learning&qu

Does it learn? Does it experience? Can it connect with other agents, understand them, come to empathise with them and find a way to work with them better? The answer is no to all of these, and there are other problems as well. Yes, this mod

And the reason why there are 10 clicks is that that is the number of decisions that is required to get people to hand over their money. There will have been an A-B test with 9 clicks -> less sales, less revenue. There will have been an A

But, like, isn't that what Expedia does and has done for 20 years?

There's a herding effect with torrents where popular things are quick to get, unpopular things may be very difficult to get, because the majority of users delete files to save space. I might host 3 or 4 models that I've downloaded

Good story, write more. You have a good NO AI style.

There are problems with this analysis. First it discounts the debt and financial load on the frontier labs to 0. The costs of developing this technology may well not be borne by those who reap the benefits. This is not like the Amazon distr

Worth watching Star City on Apple TV for a perspective on Soviet life. Now, Star City is definitely propaganda but it makes you think!

Do you know a good place for accessing the full sized chinese models but hosted not in China?

What I love is the idea that this is more likely to happen at Meta than at Anthropic, Google, Microsoft or OpenAI... or in the PRC! There's contractual cover, there are lawyers all over the USA ready to make themselves very rich by cre

Could this kind of trigger effect the standard candle application of Type 1a's? For example, if a black hole triggers a type 1a and that perturbs the type 1a light curve in some way (possibly because less mass could be consumed in the

In what way do you mean iterations - what's your model for iteration as a mechanism for iterating intelligence? Do you mean that intelligence improves with every generation?

Where are you subscribing ? z.ai?

I hope you're joking about... I think we both know the answer, but the answer very definitely isn't intelligence.

As far as I know humans with the same sort of brains as your brain and my brain have existed for 100,000's of years, perhaps as long as 2 million years. They did not go to the moon. They did not make mechanisms, they did not make potte

>It's not wish casting whatever that means. The crux of the argument isn't as much of a capability one as it is an economic one. If China can release open source models like these to displace demand for frontier models so can A

I guess almost all laptops/desktops are corporate, student, gaming or own business use. I have never, ever, seen a corporate linux desktop outside of devs. I have never, ever, seen a student using a linux desktop apart from CS students

My thoughts: Civilisation implies large scale agriculture. Large scale agriculture implies specific pollen signatures. We don't see any of these signatures in the pollen records dredged up from lakes and seas. There was no previous civ
