Reading this gives me some slight existential dread, since most of my time here I just read other people’s comments.
In any case, I think a big barrier to starting things can often also just be the fear of failure or of wasting time. I spent a lot of time making electronic music as a hobby, and am probably better than most people at understanding and playing music, but for music to play a meaningful impact in my life I would need to put in a lot more work still.
On the other hand, I studied physics and mathematics far beyond the average person (getting a PhD and publishing multiple papers), but I had the support of the university and the academic environment to give me that extra push to do it.
There are so many things I would like to pursue in my free time. Building a small startup, writing a book, making YouTube videos, etc. I know that the most important thing is to just start, but the decision paralysis, and uncertainty about whether it will work out in the end can definitely be a barrier, since I can also just go out with friends and enjoy my life instead of spending time solitary.
As a user, I've been putting in some long mathematical research papers and asking detailed questions about them in order to understand certain parts better. I feel some benefit from it because it can access the full context of the paper so it is less likely to misunderstand notation that was defined earlier etc.
Comparing to the numbers here https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-3-family the ones of Llama 400B seem slightly lower, but of course it's just a checkpoint that they benchmarked and they are still training further.
I don't mean this in a bad way, but when I read a comment like yours which includes phrases like "seamlessly enhances my workflow" and "efficiently aids in task completion", I can't help but feel like it's ChatGPT-generated, and if so I think it's a shame, just write like yourself.
But maybe you do, and I am seeing patterns in sand.
People refer to it as Synthstrom Deluge all the time. The product is called Deluge and the company is Synthstrom. It would be strange if they called their product the Synthstrom Synthstrom Deluge wouldn’t it?
I don't see why this changes anything. There are some, sort-of intelligent networks of cells in the gut that help in digestion and other processes. Doesn't change the fact that consciousness resides in the brain.
