1D and 2D are just mathematical abstractions.

So are all dimensions. The number of dimensions is just an attribute of a vector space, and vector spaces are just models we humans define to describe natural phenomenona. You can claim that some of these models are more useful than others. But at no point does it make sense to claim that a model “exists” or not. There would be no meaning to such a statement, it would contain no information. Not wrong, just nonsensical.

I don’t know what kinds of allegations you’re trying to insinuate here. This isn’t about me anyway.

That’s irrelevant. But if someone leaves it, someone else will have to take it, is what I’m saying. Like in general.

So what do you think happens to all the shit you leave around? Someone’s gotta take it.

It is, the songs Lateralus and Reflection are both from the Lateralus album.

LATERALUS SPOTTED!! SPIRAL OUT!

Like you said, society’s version of morality. So it can be a very important distinction because your own version of morality might differ. Not being aware of this distinction is dangerous because it stops people from developing their own moral compass. This own morality is more firm and can be relied on in the absence of shame, or even when society encourages behavior one finds immoral.

I’m even gonna go on a wilder speculation here and claim that one of the driving factors behind humanity’s worst atrocities was that large portions of society who had the potential in them for a firm morality rooted in empathy and love never developed this potential.

On a less import note, not being aware of this distinction can breed a lot of resentment and unhappiness, if someone is constantly compelled to follow rules that they, deep down, consider to be bullshit.

Of course that doesn’t mean I encourage people to just disregard society’s version of morality and lightly assume that they know better.

Edit: just noticed your username, I hope that furriosa is doing well <3

Are you really feeling guilty about not tipping because of the moral implications, or do you just feel socially shamed? Important distinction.

It makes a lot of sense. Lying and manipulation are done specifically to achieve goals. A defining characteristic of morals is that you’re supposed to follow them even if it’s neutral or disadvantageous for you. If someone follows “morals” to achieve a personal goal, they’re not actually following morals, they’re just acting in a way that incidentally looks moral.

I have no idea. For me it’s a “you recognize it when you see it” kinda thing. Normally I’m in favor of just measuring things with a clearly defined test or benchmark, but it is in the nature of large neural networks that they can be great at scoring on any desired benchmark while failing to be good at the underlying ability that the benchmark was supposed to test (overfitting). I know this sounds like a lazy answer, but it’s a very difficult question to define something based around generalizing and reacting to new challenges.

But whether LLMs do have “actual intelligence” or not was not my point. You can definitely make a case for claiming they do, even though I would disagree with that. My point was that calling them AIs instead of LLMs bypasses the entire discussion on their alleged intelligence as if it wasn’t up for debate. Which is misleading, especially to the general public.

It’s true that the word has always been used loosely, but there was no issue with it because nobody believed what was called AI to have actual intelligence. Now this is no longer the case, and so it becomes important to be more clear with our words.

I think we should start by not following this marketing speak. The sentence “AI isn’t intelligent” makes no sense. What we mean is “LLMs aren’t intelligent”.

It’s not pretty, but you can print one in a single line of python:

print(*["".join("  " if i & j else "MM" for j in range(64)) for i in range(64)], sep="\n")

First season of that show was incredible.

The success of algorithmic feeds does not imply that humans are predictable in general. It just means that humans are predictable in terms of what content will keep them scrolling/watching/listening for some more time.

Interesting observation. Can you give an example where this is relevant?

“No, I am your father.”

“You’re absolutely right! When Obi-Wan told me about my father’s death, he probably meant that the person he knew my father as is dead, since your personality and appearance have changed drastically since then. I’m glad we could clear up this misunderstanding!”

Libre office draw is also underrated for memes. You can mark sections inside the file and export them to png.

This plus he had some love handle surgery recently.
