This has always been a problem for AI research since its start in the 70s. AI researchers come up with names for things they assume happen in the human brain, and then further assume that if they write a computer program that does something that could be given the same name, it must work too.
So called chain of thought can improve output quality ("reasoning ability") to an extent, but I wish for josh sake it were called "intermediate token conditioning" / something explanatory or at least descriptive.
Great post. I wonder how much this can improve if you RAG-ify a diverse set of contextual data, for example calendar, meals, recent conversations from the real world, etc.
It's also interesting that бля was translated to 'damn'. :)
I think incorporating knowledge from other apps is a good next step because the model definitely lacks the context of what is going on right now. The nature of instant messaging is that most of the messages are about what is happening right now or what will happen in the near future, so past communication history does not help much.
I understand your point but I think it would be easier with AI than without. Many movies are not made to the standard of The Godfather because they don't sell like MCU Movie #53 and if you include more humans in the creation you're more likely to run into the current system's restrictions.
Making a movie as beloved as the Godfather would still be challenging of course.
As long as they don't suck the air out of funding for real movies I can live with it, but I'd still be sad that people are being trained to like auto-generated junk. Like how people are losing their ability to concentrate on long-form content due to overexposure to addictive short-form content.
Of course it would be easier. I agree. I just take issue with the "why humans" thing because if anything, the recent advancements highlight just how big the human element really is.
Can you imitate a Bach prelude? Sure. And only people who aren't actually familiar with his music would be impressed.
Much of AI approaching "human performance", is it approaching the lowest bar. There's a Wittgenstein thing going on here. That an LLM can ace the LSAT or GMAT is mostly an indictment of those tests.
I scored 159 on the LSAT in 2014, so I am not claiming the tests are easy. I am pointing out that when an AI aces them, it says more about the test than anything else.
No it doesn't lol because you can insert any test you like into your equation. GPT-4 performs well above average on almost anything you throw at it.
"Says more about [insert test]" is not an intelligent argument. It doesn't even make sense. Can you tell me exactly what this mysterious thing is ?
If you have this secret test for "true" intelligence and understanding the entire world is missing on then please share it with us and get your acclaim.
We must be speaking past each other. I am not out for acclaim and sorry for any confusion. Everything you say is exactly the point I'm trying to make, evidently clumsily. The "mysterious thing" is the human element. I don't know what else to call it? Humans that ace tests prove only that they are good at acing tests. Not that they're good at running businesses or practicing law. Not creating films (in this example), or music, etc.
I am not knocking the advancements, the capabilities are incredible. But machines have been doing what humans cannot since the dawn of time. I'm just pointing out what I think (thought?) was obvious: machines will soon be able to do just about everything that doesn't really matter.
PS. are you familiar with Wittgensteins ruler? Ask chatGPT about it.
There is no "human element" lol. That's the point. That's how you know the argument has no ground. People resort to "human element" when they have nothing to actually say. and because "human element" has no meaning, the goal posts for it just keeps getting moved further and further. apparently now we're at "make the godfather".
I'm not a critic of AI or moving any goal posts. I'm not lobbing comments in a vacuum. I was responding directly to the comical proposal that we don't need actors anymore, to which my Godfather comment has every relevance. Thanks anyway!
In fact, it can be damaging to Canada - let Canada’s healthcare and education take the burden and expense of raising families and children, and then let America harvest the cream of the crop and take all the future tax dollars by importing them to the US.
I think they mean that Canadians are usually more demure and polite than to stoop to the level of trivializing one of recent-history's worst atrocities to express political/ideological discontent.
tbh, I can't stand callout culture, but I wish this would get called out more often. What type of psychological damage is being done to jews by turning their painful history into a talking point, or conversational force multiplier? You don't see people do that about African slavery or other atrocities, so why compare everything to Hitler? It's ugly.
Anyone know if breath is also connected to specific body parts? Really crude contrived example to illustrate what I mean: deep breathing affecting the left arm, shallow breathing affecting the right arm?
I always felt there must be some connection but never really understood how to even investigate. I definitely noticed that certain deep breathing was extraordinarily useful for alleviating IBS symptoms... basically the physical expansion of the lungs (contracting the diaphragm) clearly physically pressed upon the intestinal tract and massaged it (this is personal experience, anecdotal)... I have always wondered if this principle was extendable further?
Everything I've seen about the lungs is always about what it does for oxygen/co2 regulation in the blood... feels like this really underestimates whats going on
I assume the responses are from people who didn't know that and are now offended that they would've flubbed what the interviewer considered common knowledge in their field. I could see someone thinking it's not a relevant question for certain types of positions, but anyone getting defensive about it is a little bit of a red flag. Anyone doing development relying on location services or navigation systems should have a general baseline intuition for how those things work, even if it's only the broadest strokes. If someone feels angry about not knowing this, well congratulations, you now know this and no longer have anything to get defensive about.
