Sounds like a precursor to the "simple eyes" seen in invertebrates today https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_eye_in_invertebrates

Or parietal eyes in vertebrates https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parietal_eye

LLMs have no more beliefs than a parrot does. They just repeat whatever opinions/biases exist in their training data. Although, that's not too different from humans in some respects.

Or "stop serving"

Check out PostmarketOS for older machines/phones too. I got it working on an old Microsoft surface RT that would have been e-waste otherwise

Neat, but one needs to also trust that google isn't an adversary

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

So if I have two machines running the same local LLM and I pass a prompt between them, I've achieved data compression by transmitting the prompt rather than the LLM's expected response to the prompt? That's what I'm understanding from the article.

Neat idea, but what if you want to transmit some information that an LLM can't tokenize and generate accurately?

So how close can you get your eyeballs to the sensor? Even if IR isn't in the visible spectrum, that doesn't mean it can't damage your eyes at high power levels. If anything, its more dangerous because you won't notice it.

Quick, somebody use the popular LLMs to generate abortion instructions
