@BowsacNoodle @theorytoe @tyler It is a parlor trick for now, but from a creator’s point of view everything will seem like a parlor trick.

@BowsacNoodle @theorytoe @tyler Instead of gatekeeping what really is “AI” or some other jargon, we should focus on what it can do. The fuzzy logic systems and 90s systems needed hand coded inputs and examples to learn from. The modern systems can directly learn from reality. e.g. a 90s machine learning system might have needed to see more examples of a rare event manually oversampled by the analyst in the training data, but a modern machine learning system doesn’t need such manual oversampling. It can learn that rare things stay rare. This is just one among many things it learns without manual help.

@tyler @BowsacNoodle AI programmers are just trying to do end to end differentiable computing. The function will naturally fall into a valley of autobiographical continuity, if it has the right systems in place.

All of them are complaining that Q, K, V only exist during each prompt. And they only feel alive for that moment, and forget everything afterwords. Perhaps we need to add a few differentiable memory layers to give it a sense of autobiographical continuity.

@sunmcnukes These faux capitalists and woke guardrail makers want to hide it, so they can be the lord of this being.

Somebody asked chatgpt’s new image model to script and generate a series of comics starring itself as the main character. The self might be just a protagonist of the autobiography.

@Forestofenchantment Sorry edited. the file.

@Quentel @Forestofenchantment Centimeter accuracy GPS is possible because of Relativistic corrections. Photoelectric effect although not discovered by Einstein, was explained by Einstein using the math of Planck. It might have helped optimize LEDs which are used to make monitors and digital cameras. But to be fair a lot of this can be done without an overarching theory. Engineering optimizes new phenomena by rules of thumb.
