The fun is in making the cards truly yours, by writing them yourself based on your experience. After experimenting with generated cards, I throw them away. They were semantically correct, but not relatable/memorable.

What makes you think this? With wider adoption the ratio shall shift in favor of inference. And API price is becoming more important than SOTA capability.

If you want to think about this topic, you must define what AI is, and what consciousness is. Otherwise this is just noise.

So let take a stab at it, and you call me crazy.

AI: the entity/system that more or less pass the turning test. That is my definition, not the best, but enough for this discussion.

Consciousness: property of a system/entity able to (both): - reflect on its existence - subject to subjective experience

Again, not the best definition, but precise enough to start the discussion. Why a subjective experience? I want to exclude sensors (i.e. camera) but include perception altered by your experience.

Now we can debate. I think LLM can pass the turning test whith some harness. My opinion.

I think LLM can produce coherent discourses on their existence, at least as much as you average human.

Now regarding the subjective experience, that becomes interesting. I think Anthropic research tend to show that when middeling with the activation at runtime, the LLM is able to notice that something is off. I think this is a subjective experience. My opinion.

Based on those (imperfect) definitions, call me crazy, I think LLM can be called conscious. This doesn't give them any superpower or any legal right. They just check the boxes of the definition.

Soon enough you will realize that kids spend more time with their friends than with their parents. Most parents want their kids to be curious, build autonomy, and feel free. For this to work, they need a safe space. There are to place to enforce a policy: client side (parental control) or server side (age verification). Personally I don't want to transform my kids general purpose computer into a locked down infotainment machine. I think it would be a worst society if the norm becomes "this is not your device".

I am curious if you know how to enforce this on a general purpose computer.

Ask yourself: what is the ROI I provide? It isn't trivial most of the time.

There hasn't ever been in human histore more incentive to innovate than today, and you think, the best lab won't innovate. That is crazy. It is like anyone can do AI research. Of course there will be new architectures. We just discovered the steam engine and the combustion engine is coming.

I am no doctor, but as you said, you need to release the strain in your eyes by looking away. I suppose that is something you can do with this class of devices as each eye has their own screen. This said, I have never used any type of VR headset.

I installed Gnome on the home computer for the kids. I just realized how disempowering the Gnome really is. I remember, as a kid, navigating all menus to understand how it works. With Gnome, my kids barely can set the background to an image, can't even have a solid color background. I will probably move to DMS or KDE.

So the calculation is:

Total input token = input + cache read + cache write Cache hit rate = cache read / total input token.

That is 71% in my very limited use of opencode.

Thanks, i appreciate your message. When I look at the US or EU were internal migration is allowed, I am hopeful. I just don't know if this is generalizable.

Ask people who know you well what you are talented for. Oftentimes we don't see it ourselves. As you get good at something, it become easier, and you think of it as a given. On the opposite, we tend to over appreciate what is difficult for us.

I will go ahead and delete my private repos on GitHub. Not sure I can trust this platform with their code source exposed. Nice wake-up call.

It is also possible that intelligent people don't know how to become powerful, but would seek to be powerful, if they knew how to get there. More than intelligence, I am shocked at how mean a jailbreak LLM can be (when prompted). It is astonishing.

Where is the code? Did I missed the link?
