Did he find him at the Four Seasons?

Thing is though, headline means nothing; I used to run a landscaping business and work in retail back in college, so I’d probably fit that description too. All it means is the guy knows how to actually work.

Although at 22, there isn’t really enough passage of time for useful management experience.

This is essential to maintaining the safety and security of our country … it is also a priority that we share with our neighbours.

Am I the only one who finds this statement deeply troubling?

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?

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 9 points 4 days ago

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.

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.
