The current situation in the US is the depressing thing- articles like this give me hope. Real Americans aren't having these BS authoritarian violations of our constitutional rights.

Any change in behavior? Is that a joke? Setting aside the masked men terrorizing our communities, immigrants are being literally tortured inside camps across the country. They are being treated worse than criminals- tortured. Abused. What&#

Nah, it's your support for lawless authoritarianism because you think it will improve your safety- that's the part you missed in history class. That's the con you are falling for. The truth is that once authoritarianism takes

Setting aside their lawlessness, it sounds like we agree they are unidentifiable, meaning their identity is a secret. So they are a secret police. And you support that for some reason, maybe because you haven't read a single history bo

Then why are they wearing masks?

by ypeterholmes 9mo ago
If you think authoritarianism will lead to order and peace, you're gonna have a bad time. The presence of a secret police is already causing wide scale violation of our constitutional rights.

Liquid glass is gorgeous. But it's hard to reconcile next level design like this with complete disasters like Apple TV. Maybe spend some time on getting the fundamentals right too, before inventing the future

As I noted, this post is saying AI can't achieve "genius" level creativity. Just a year ago the criticisms were that it couldn't match a human. How is that not moving the goalposts?

by ypeterholmes 2y ago
Hey look, the goalposts are being moved again. This time it's from top end researcher to generational genius. Question: what evidence is there that this benchmark will not be reached also? Time and again these essays make the mistake o

So Deep Research and the latest reasoning models don't deserve mention here? I wish there was accountability on the internet, so that people posting stuff like this can be held accountable a year from now.

Advertising has gotten out of control. What's bizarre to me is that the people violating us are literally the ones who want something from us. Is there no way to boycott anyone advertising in our car? AND the car itself of course.

Typo: "Your pay your taxes into the system" Sorry to be this way.

Awesome comment. I've written a piece here about the relationship between AI and human consciousness. Would love some feedback if you're able. Thanks! https://peterholmes.medium.com/the-conscious-computer-af5037...

You are asking two different questions here. In house vs contractors is one. The second is whether you should be using a third party product. My advice would be to continue using contractors, but different ones, and focus their attention on

I was basing my number on Wolfram's work here: https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2023/02/what-is-chatgpt-... "In human brains there are about 100 billion neurons (nerve cells), each capable of producin

by ypeterholmes 2y ago
No? The human brain has ~100 billion neurons and ~1 trillion connection weights. Google’s PaLM uses ~540 Billion nodes with ~100 trillion connection weights. And the key point is this- these models are the worst they will ever be, and are g

That's precisely my point. The database connections involved in a neural network are the corollary, not transistors. What am I missing?

The machines will be much faster than us, and soon. So what's your point?

“The high connectivity [in a human brain] is very different from that found in the central processing unit of any digital computer, where one transistor typically connects to a handful of other transistors.” Has he been living under a rock?

Based on what though? You can't just say things, you have to provide a basis for why.

Where in the article does the author justify their core thesis, that LLM's will not automate work? The only argument I see is that it hasn't happened yet, which is hardly the same thing. (The irony is that they continually critici

"no disagreement = fact" What? This is objectively wrong. "the left is generally more passionate about politics and power" What? This is objectively wrong. "People are pretty good at agreeing on facts already"

I'm curious- what's their strategy for determining what's true? Is it an Orwellian setup where certain media organizations (eg. NYT, Reuters, Wikipedia) are deemed to be an authoritative ministry of truth?

Not seeing your email, so I'll post here. I wrote up a similar theory of consciousness here: https://peterholmes.medium.com/the-conscious-computer-af5037... In particular, I think there's a nice overlap between my

You're making this harder than it needs to be. Things that have self awareness via an internal world map can be considered conscious, meaning self aware. A rock has no such mechanism. Most animals including humans do.
