No, they really don’t. It’s a large language model. Input cues instruct it as to which weighted path through the matrix to take. Those paths are complex enough that the human mind can’t hold all the branches and weights at the same time. But there’s no planning going on; the model can’t backtrack a few steps, consider different outcomes and run a meta analysis. Other reasoning models can do that, but not language models; language models are complex predictive translators.

Er, I suspect you’ve got that exactly backwards.

They call themselves Dverger and are uncannily squat and heavily built and speak in a kind of German/Mongol mash-up accent and language.

And carry picks and axes and wear helmets and beards.

If we will all die anyway, is there anything wrong with killing the wealthy and powerful?

Or does the tune change then?

Yeah; for any faith system, you’ll get someone attempting to exploit it to maintain their wealth and power.

Eventually, the entire underlying belief structure that’s usually based on something real becomes overlaid with a prescriptive ideology designed to help a small group of people get their way.

They walk down runways and pose for magazines. Do they reason? Sometimes.

The study being referenced explains in detail why they can’t. So I’d say it’s Anthropic who stated LLMs don’t have the capacity to reason, and that’s what we’re discussing.

The popular media tends to go on and on about conflating AI with AGI and synthetic reasoning.

‘E’s the erminator!

Community living in isolation under a mountain for 6,000 years.

I bet they’d be rather surprised at what humanity has become in the intervening years; I wonder how humans would adapt to an underground lifestyle in 6,000 years.

Are they going to make special rules for the G7 summit too?

When you consider education itself to be “leftist” and prefer indoctrination and dogma to critical thinking and the scientific method, it makes more sense.

I don’t know… I think his description can be overly complex/abstract for eli5 AND all the other descriptions can be wrong.

Here’s my attempt:

You know how with Lego you can make all sorts of stuff, but you can also buy a kit with some main pieces pre-molded that you attach the other bits to, to make your object?

Linux is like that pre-made bit, with bumps on it in specific places to build the object. It’s designed to be the interface between the non-Lego objects and the Lego pieces.

But unlike in most systems, with Linux, everyone can tweak the pre-made bit, and it must be given away, along with the instructions on how to build it.

And of course, this all runs in software on electronics, not using physical objects made of plastic.

There’s a reason Canada discontinued the penny.
