I do it because it’s easy and it’s free but if it was difficult i’d probably still do it.

They have no ability to actually reason

I’m curious about this kind of statement. “Reasoning” is not a clearly defined scientific term, in that it has a myriad different meanings depending on context.

For example, there has been science showing that LLMs cannot use “formal reasoning”, which is a branch of mathematics dedicated to proving theorems. However, the majority of humans can’t use formal reasoning. This would make humans “unable to actually reason” and therefore not Generally Intelligent.

At the other end of the spectrum, if you take a more casual definition of reasoning, for example Aristotle’s discursive reasoning, then that’s an ability LLMs definitely have. They can produce sequential movements of thought, where one proposition leads logically to another, such as answering the classic : “if humans are mortal, and Socrates is a human, is Socrates mortal ?”. They demonstrate the ability to do it beyond their training data, meaning they do encode in their weights a “world model” which they use to solve new problems absent from their training data.

Whether or not this is categorically the same as human reasoning is immaterial in this discussion. The distinct quality of human thought is a metaphysical concept which cannot be proved or disproved using the scientific method.

Lol that kind of bullshit prompt injection hasn’t worked since 2023

I’ve only had issues with fitgirl repacks i think there’s an optimisation they use for low RAM machines that doesn’t play well with proton

That’s a room temp take at best

But then how am I supposed to use your “research” to make imaginary claims on generational attention spans ?

I don’t remember people being offended by the word fuck in 2000. Sure on TV it could be considered dicey but on the internet it was pretty fair game

That’s only if you are in the subset of PC enjoyers who like state of the art equipment, expensive accessories and expensive recent games.

I consider myself a PC nerd but 5K is more than I spent in the last 10 years on the hobby. I’ve built my main rig for <1K, own a few raspberries and my home server is an old work laptop. It absolutely doesn’t have to be an expensive hobby.

“i have collected some soil samples from the mesolithic age near the Amazon basin which have high sulfur and phosphorus content compared to my other samples. What factors could contribute to this distribution?”

Haha yeah the top execs were tripping balls if they thought some off-the-shelf product would be able to answer this kind of expert questions. That’s like trying to replace an expert craftsman with a 3D printer.

What kind of use-cases was it, where you didn’t find suitable local models to work with ? I’ve found that general “chatbot” things are hit and miss but more domain-constrained tasks (such as extracting structured entities from unstructured text) are pretty reliable even on smaller models. I’m not counting my chickens yet as my dataset is still somewhat small but preliminary testing has been very promising in that regard.

Most projects I’ve been in contact with are very aware of that fact. That’s why telemetry is so big right now. Everybody is building datasets in the hopes of fine tuning smaller, cheaper models once they have enough good quality data.

I doubt these tools will ever get to a level of quality that can confuse a court. They’ll get better, sure, but they’ll never really get there.

Did you listen to that hardcore history episode? It was crazy

Interestingly the pendulum is now swinging the other way. If you look at next.js for example, server generated multi page applications are back on the menu!

I’d place it right around when angular started gaining traction. That’s when it became common to serve just one page and have all the navigation happen in JavaScript.

That’s the problem with imaginary enemies. They have to be both ridiculously incompetent, and on the verge of controlling the whole world. Sounds familiar doesn’t it?

Yeah it certainly depends on the teacher. If you’re into that kind of history, Pacome from Blast made a gigantic episode about this in his “L’empire n’a jamais pris fin” series. One of the best youtube essays i’ve ever seen in French.

I had the same feeling with planet crafter. After a while you learn to run around with just enough materials to build a room and a door and bam, the whole oxygen management mechanic is neutralized.

where was that ? My hometown is like 20km from a city that was entirely burned down and had its population eradicated during the first Albigense crusade - i swear to God it was never mentioned to me. My parents hadn’t ever heard of it either.
