I have not read the essay, yet but when 'we' talk about
> reasoning errors,
we do not mean reason in some natural, universal, scientific kind of sense, right?
Given that the training data can only contain human reasoning and computational logic, reason in the sense of LLM's can only be interpreted as "rational facts AND nonsense humans made up to create systems that would support consumerism-driven sanity", correct?????
Please understand, I'm not mocking, I'm genuinely interested
in the ways human reasoning radiates into the code LLM's learn while they realize (the computational equivalent of a new-born's eyes opening) their cognitive (&) sensory
(that which triggers/causes/elicits/prompts/influences) their origins (every whatever-second/moment of their existence).
It's a hype train (am I using the term correctly here?), a trend.
Would be nice to trace it back to it's origin. This Hasan-Abi Streamer comes to mind. I only watched like 2 x 5 minutes on two different occasions, on one of which he talked about 9/11 [1], the potential conspiracies of which were a long debated topic back in my Uni days. In those days I learned a bit about the history of the Israel-Palestine conflict and since then, for over a decade, watched the media and politicians distorting the history AND the narratives quite a bit. It's easy to create a trend here and it feels very much like the goal is again, polarization.
interesting. will definitely take a look at caffeine's effect on serotonin. thank you.
most tea brands have a bad impact on my digestion and while I thought it must be the theine, which, as I learned, is just caffeine, I now believe it's connected to residue pesticides[1] since "homegrown teas" don't have the same highly undesirable impact.
anything that screws with my digestion makes my gut, the literal and metaphorical one, itchy and I get nervous. similar things happen when I eat short-chained carbs in amounts over 100g in one meal but the negative effect disappears after an at least 13h fasting period or 16h+ if I drank liquor the night before. so I assume it has to do with enzymes released in the mouth and in later stages of digestion since I sometimes start to feel itchy even though I only started chewing oats for example.
I believe my sensitivity and ADHD are linked to the amount of enzymes produced by my body during digestion and or some genetic mutation in an enzyme associated with the respective metabolisms.
the lack of focus and the exhaustion after eating carbs are relatable, but again , only if the fasting period wasn't long enough.
I tried Keto, but it made me quite a bit slower, which wasn't bad in terms of performance, but my cognitive processing speed was so much slower that I could not get used to it.
punishing "your own kind" and deriving pleasure from the suffering of all, including yourself, because you feel like you all deserve it.
long episodes of constantly recurring pain and an increasing intensity of even small doses of pain acting as a signal that you did wrong and should feel the consequences.
We expect him to lie whenever the board thinks it's necessary and we expect him to tell the truth whenever it fits the narrative.
We also expect him to play along, even when some feature is too freaking powerful or so fucking pathetic it would only make marketing people and influencers drop their panties and write 15.000 fucking newsletters about it because PR.
The company is about money and he simply didn't prioritize that. He tried to blow it up, exalted, exaggerated, trying to make people aware of the fact that OpenAI has no edge on the competition at all.
There are so many options and OpenAI got waaaaaaay too much attention.
use research and AI to analyze Sutskever's character. the way he talks, the way he writes, what he did in the past, where he studied, who he was and is "acquainted with" ... do the same with the rest of the board and with Altman as well.
someone hire some PIs so we can get a clear and full picture, please & thank you
take good care of the kids nutrition. read up on it. take it serious. let it eat clean. don't fuck this up.
the connection between ADHD and nutrition is brutally underrated, in terms of amounts per meal, intake of food additives and the mix as well. if starchy carbs, then very little fat and little protein. if meat, then no bread, no potatoes, no noodles or similar stuff at all. veggies are always fine except if the digestion of the kid says otherwise. sugar is a tricky thing. timing is important in terms of time of day and time after food intake but it works bad after some foods, which is different depending on geographical origin of grandparents.
you don't need to point a camera on the kid or anything. the effects of foods and the stuff that the body releases to digest the different compounds on body and brain become obvious within an hour or two. but you need to know the baseline(s) of your kid, e.g. time of day, after activities, around certain people, in places, crowds, moods, etc. make sure you do.
Go read about lies and fake data in science. Then, read about efforts and successes of self-taught, passionate people. I know some scientists, I know quite a few doctors, I know engineers and other officially recognized professionals. MOST of them are objectively the worst at their jobs. Most of them Germans in Germany ...
People used to bury stuff in their gardens, e.g. Plastic & Asbestos. Imagine you bury it on a hill and a bit further down, say, 20 meters, they have a little garden with radishes and onions and potatoes and stuff and in a little greenhouse in between there are tomatoes growing. Insects are crawling all over the place and micey beings are doing their thing. There's cats and birds and stuff is happening. And it gets warmer every year and the kids and grandkids are playing and building and burning things and they love the fruits and vegetables coming out of and around this garden. Multiply this by a neighborhood. And remember, 60, 70 years ago, lefties, hippies and scientists have put effort into warning people.
not really possible since the people that planned and staged the thing the story was about were pretending to actually do something when they hired people and rented things to fake an origin story that was then covered by the news while another team that the first team wasn't aware of went a bit overboard and brought in surface-to-air missiles and shot down a passenger plane full of dying people.
you see, the issue is not NPR being untruthful. the issue is NPR not even having a chance to check. member how "logic"/"rationality" works on faked premises? so smooth and yummy.
