How so? A Large Language Model is usually a transformer based approach nowadays, right (correct me if outdated)?

AI is artificial intelligence, which has been used and abused for many different things, none of which are intelligent right now (among others used for machine learning).

Machine learning is based on linear algebra like linear regression or other methods depending what you want to do.

An algorithm is by definition anything that follows a recipe so to say.

All of these things, bare transformers and newer in development approaches like spiked neural networks or liquid neural networks are fairly basic, no?

Sorry, I think we are talking of the same thing. In Germany that is the way it is. Civil union and marriage is equivalent, you dont have to get married at a church, the only important thing is to go to the state for a few minutes and tell them basically.

I thought that the problem was that the state still has to accept things such as (whatever you call it lets say) unions of things such as same sex partner and so.

Problem is the civil union is mostly historically influenced often (tends to be less these days)

I am not talking about what it does, I am talking about what it is.

And all tools do tend to replace human labor. For example, tractors replaced many farmhands.

The thing we face nowadays, and this is by no means limited to things like AI, is that less jobs are created by new tools than old destroyed (in my earlier simile, a tractor needs mechanics and such).

The definition of something is entirely disconnected from its usage (mainly).

And just because everyone calls LLMs now AI, there are plenty of scientific literature and things that have been called AI before. As of now, as it boils down all of these are algorithms.

The thing with machine learning is just that it is an algorithm that fine tunes itself (which is often blackbox-ish btw). And strictly speaking LLMs, commonly refered to as AI, are a subclass of ML with new technology.

I make and did not make any statement of the values of that technology or my stance on it

The state cares insofar as your partner gets certain rights and will be included as family in many things.

For instance, deciding for you in medical cases, being informed if something happens, getting money from your life insurance whatever.

No marriage would mean the two are not connected at all in the states eye and thus not family.

You could say, ok lets just enable putting that into some record without marriage, but the state wants to safeguard itself as you can get things like citizenship and such

And in most states that is what you define as civil unions (there is no marriage as such often).

He mostly used it for two things. One, as all rich people do, to donate money to their own foundations to save taxes. Second, to push his thoughts and interest on what should be research and what shouldn't.

He didn't do either of these things overtly (e.g. as Musk for the latter), but still Billionaires do Billionaire stuff.

Probs also might have helped his image with Billionaire friends and the public.

There are plenty of times when his funding things interfered. Alas there are for sure times when his funding things helped, but no one individual should posses such power.

No age is fine. Being in a relationship with sbd to brag about their body or age only is weird

Edit: Spelling

Maybe the point is that to both of these are status symbols even though deplorable (both actually but the dating a 29 year old moreso)

So it doesnt say in this article, but the police and the local population were informed weeks before.

Not sure why the Bundeswehr fired at the policemen (albeit practice ammunition) -- weird, but the police is incompetent here.

I mean, fair point. i was mainly thinking of temples and stuff where you can run around without having to go inside.
