Twitter (etc) makes everyone think society is way more extreme than it is because the 2% who are actually passionate about [issue] tweet 40 times a day while the 98% who don't care tweet zero times. Democracy by retweet is just the tyranny of whoever has the most free time.

Insights into LLM Long-Context Failures: When Transformers Know but Don’t Tell

probably this one: arxiv.org/html/2406.14...

people are working on fixes (LLM combined with symbolic knowledge representation): arxiv.org/html/2411.12...

It's a known prob with AI tutors using general-purpose LLMs - performance degrades because the attention mechanism can't consistently use context across the long chat.

U could try Google's Notebook LM - you feed it the docs you want it to work with and it favors info found in the docs you fed it.

Azelastine Nasal Spray for Prevention of SARS-CoV-2 Infections This randomized clinical trial evaluates the efficacy of azelastine as a preexposure prophylaxis against SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory pathogens.

I saw this, and now I have a bottle of azelastine nasal spray ready to go next time I'm locked in a conference room. This is just my person paranoia, though not medical advice.

The crux of machine learning is description and prediction; it does not posit any causal mechanisms or physical laws. Of course, any human-style explanation is not necessarily correct; we are fallible. But this is part of what it means to think: To be right, it must be possible to be wrong. Intelligence consists not only of creative conjectures but also of creative criticism. Human-style thought is based on possible explanations and error correction, a process that gradually limits what possibilities can be rationally considered. (As Sherlock Holmes said to Dr. Watson, “When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”)

I'm using these AI models all day long (for software development) but like you fascinated by the bigger picture. I know Deep Mind and others are working on "world models" so the LLM test hypotheses in the "world"

What Isn’t Intelligence? | Los Angeles Review of Books Patrick House is inspired by Blaise Agüera y Arcas’s “What Is Intelligence?” to think about what might constitute the difference between artificial and natural intelligence.

This was a fantastic read. Nice surprise that it had guest-star @carlbergstrom.com who I guess still has not see the lyrebird :-)
