My Name Is Aram

I've spent the last decade saying Cenk was a moron and finally, finally people are starting to believe me.

Ever since the invention of computers people have wondered if it is possible to build a computer that thinks. Two schools of thought emerged in the 1960s, the top down vs bottom up approaches. Back then it was all theoretical, but today LLMs represent the logical conclusion of top down programming

Understanding LLMs from Scratch Using Middle School Math | Towards Data Science In this article, we talk about how LLMs work, from scratch - assuming only that you know how to add and multiply two numbers. The article...

Probably not. But smarter people than myself can. Rohit Patel has written extensively on the subject towardsdatascience.com/understandin...

LLMs have no "path" to sentience in the same way no calculator will get "smarter" the more equations it performs.

I'm ready to have the debate today. My disagreement with you is technological, not moral or philosophical. Large language models are a refinement of n-gram models. Cool technology, but inert. They are essentially word calculators. [...]

No one should have two z's in their name. If your name has more than one z go away I'm not talking to you

As an avid reader of science fiction I understand your concern. We may one day need to have this conversation about artificial intelligence, but not large language models.

Meh. Dario Amodei has a history of overhyping AI to the point of absurdity. Take anything he says with not just a grain of salt but the entire shaker.

For context, this is the same company that claimed they weren't breaking wiretapping laws when their Street View cars were driving around collecting data from people's home wifi networks. The courts did not agree.

So we're getting rid of fire departments, the post office, and interstate highways? Or is this just another example of Republicans shitting their pants to own the libs, and 86 libs joining in 🤔

Everything is awful but people finally realizing Bill Maher is cringe and not funny is a small joy I will carry with me for the rest of the day.

Finally I can have the computer watch tv for me while I spend more time at work.

I honestly believe if we all ignored Matt Yglesias he would go away.

Their track record does not inspire much hope.

I expect we'll be hearing from the "states rights" crowd any minute now... Waiting patiently...

Brad, I just wanted to say how much I love these. I recently started watching Columbo and I can "hear" your text in Peter Faulk's voice.

Sure, but there's a line.

In all seriousness, the LACMA is incredible and I will recommend it without hesitation.

We're all hoping for a thing to happen

I agree, but the Democrats are so weak I'm not sure they could muster a McGovern at this point.

Well damn if The Robot That Answers Questions Wrong said it then I guess this discussion is over.
