The oc likened conspiratorial thinking to other addictions like alcohol or gambling and, while not perfect, I think this is a good analogy. People don't join cults because of its reasoning, they join because the cult provides them with something that was otherwise missing in their lives, such as a strong feeling of dependent community or whatever. The intelligent mind then post-rationalizes that being in the cult is good and reasonable (even over-riding blatant evidence to the contrary). The stronger the mind, the better this rationalizing will be. Conspiratorial thinking follows a similar trend -- it is giving them something they were missing. Gambling addictions, abusive relationships, and so on all have similar rationalization processes where a person's own intelligence is weaponized against them to continue in self-destructive behavior. Humans are weird that way.

> ChatGPT has an embedded set of moral values which is both American and definitely progressive.

How do you know this, as in, what prompt(s) would let one determine this? I'm curious if it still shows American values when the conversion is held in a different language. Would it replicate an average Chinese person if you ask in Mandarin? Or does it at least become a mix more than when you ask in English?
For some reason I've never seen the idea of auto-recursive prompting in any of the papers or discussions. It makes so much sense. It can also help with model and compute size. Instead of using this large model to, say, list the number of primes less than a 1000, it can prompt GPT-3 to do it and count them, then send it back to GPT-4. Sounds quite feasible to implement too!

> I expected much less than you did from that description. I remember what things used to be like in 2010. Compared to then, what we have today is science fiction.

If they told you that they made a perfect natural language parser, parsed the whole internet into logic and used that parsed data to make a giant text markov chain, you couldn't imagine that producing results similar to what we see today?

The only new thing is that now we can work with natural language as it was code, and that lets us do a lot of cool things, but other than that there is nothing new. If humans structured their natural languages like we structure code then we would get all these abilities for free if we parsed the entire internet, but since we have the messy natural language we had to come up with the super complex solution we got today. You wouldn't need "programmers", since our natural language would be structured enough for computers to execute etc, and that would let us to structure up all posted human reasoning online and make all sorts of cool models based on that.

Whenever you call ChatGPT see it as calling the logic in some internet web page, it could be a unix tutorial or a book etc, and then it runs random continuations of that. It isn't hard to imagine what happens when you do that. Is a perfect natural language parser cool? Yes. Was it unthinkable? Not really, many would say it wouldn't be possible, but if we said that we made it possible then figuring out the effects aren't super hard.

One reason I hate the “glorified word predictor” phrase, is that predicting the next word involves considering what will come well after that.

I saw a research paper where they tested a LLM to predict the word “a” vs “an”. In order to do that, it seems like you need to consider at least 1 word past the next token.

The best test for this was:
I climbed the pear tree and picked a pear. I climbed the apple tree and picked …

That’s a simple example, but the other day, I used ChatGPT to refactor a 2000 word talk to 1000 words and a more engaging voice. I asked for it to make both 500 and 1000 word versions, and it felt to me like it was adhering to the length to determine pacing and delivery of material that signaled it was planning ahead about how much content each fact required.

I cannot rectify this with people saying it only looks one word ahead. One word must come next, but to do a good job modeling what that word will be, wouldn’t you need to consider further ahead than that?

Rights haven't really been core to the discussion as I've seen it, and in fact it's the first time I've seen it in months.

If you're running Linux with ZFS, make sure to have a ZFS-enabled live medium available. The Arch ISO is easy to modify. Various variants with ZFS exist around the net. I believe Ubuntu also ships with ZFS nowadays. I think NixOS too? Not entirely sure, it's been a while.

If you go custom, you can also add drivers/firmware for whatever exotic hardware you have!

> Is it wrong to say that a countable set is a set in which it is reasonable to ask which element is the "next" element? That's a natural-language definition, right?

You can do that with real numbers as well.

F(x)=randomreal()

At any step you want a next element, you just produce a random real element.

You can’t pre-determine how that random element will relate to the previously generated elements, but you can still produce real numbers, one at a time, and count them as you go. And if you do it for infinity, then you will never finish, but at every single step you will have assigned a natural number to a real number.

The definitions used for the proof are fiction that you can ever fully finish counting something.

The illusion that will fall for is that we think that all natural numbers are somehow pre-computed.

If we are going to be generating infinite elements one by one, then you can count/number/order all of them, one at a time, no problem.

The bots we make are derivative in the sense that we figure out an objective function, and if that function is defined well enough within the system and iterable by nature, then we can make bots that perform very well. If not, then the bots don't seem to really have a prayer.

But what humans do is figure out what those objective functions are. Within any system. We have different modalities of interacting with the world and internal motivators modelled in different ways by psychologists. All of this structure sort of gives us a generalized objective function that we then apply to subproblems. We'd have to give AI something similar if we want it to make decisions that seem more self-driven. As the word-predictor we trained now is, it's basically saying what the wisdom of the crowd would do in X situation. Which, on its own, is clearly useful for a lot of different things. But it's also something for which it will become obsolete after humans adapt around it. It'll be your assistant yeah. It may help you make good proactive decisions for your own life. What will become marketable will change. The meta will shift.

This is one of the things NixOS is good for. There can be a special version of Linux that is only updated once some regression test on ZFS passes:

`config.boot.zfs.package.latestCompatibleLinuxPackages`

That way the main maintainer can still follow HEAD, whilst the ZFS maintainer can make sure that Linux is updated for ZFS once it’s been tested (or even automatically, but I don’t know if it’s that advanced yet).

It really does seem like a one sided war. Russia is slowly destroying Ukraine but no real effect to Russia. They're slowly ramping up their production of weapons. Russia can do this for another 10 years until Ukraine's economy is slowly suffocated.

>What I'm interested about is ability "reason" - analyze, synthesize knowledge, formulate plans, etc. And LLMs demonstrated those abilities.

I disagree that they have demonstrated that. In my interactions with them, I have often found that they correct themselves when I push back, only to say something that logically implies exactly the same incorrect claim.

They have no model of the subject they're talking about and therefore they don't understand when they are missing information that is required to draw the right conclusions. They are incapable of asking goal driven questions to fill those gaps.

They can only mimic reasoning in areas where the sequence of reasoning steps has been verbalised many times over, such as with simple maths examples or logic puzzles that have been endlessly repeated online.
> They only need to mimic human behaviours accurately enough to make them redundant and automatable.

The post I was replying to was specifically positing that they would have feelings.
Yeah, but then it goes back to GP's original argument. If relations between translated tokens are classified as "understanding", that would mean that translation AIs are already capable of understanding:

This is why both platforms were designed to be used together as a team. F-35 provides sensor fusion and the F-15 is the missile truck. That also allows the F-35 to continue to evade detection, since launching attacks tends to get you noticed by the enemy.

Modern air combat can't be measured in direct comparison like this, or even thought of in terms of "we should be using X instead of Y"

The F-35 costs are also going down relative to it's peer group as the export market has grown significantly. The F-35s issue is that it's misunderstood, not that it doesn't meet expectations.

I used to use SuSE back in the day (around v10 or so), but the issue I had with it was the RPM package management.

YouTube has content filtering for kids which parents could never mimic. App level moderation just cannot be achieved by a parent.

You can't really check based on "output" if output is just text.

Likewise you cannot check whether a straw in water is bent, or straight, just by looking at it -- you have to take the straw out of the water.

The "question-begging" part of the turing test, and all modern AI, is that intelligence is reducible to patterns in an extremely narrowed I/O domain where measurement is only permitted on the "output".

This to me is a pseudoscientific restriction: no where in science would we tolerate experimenting on a system to determine its properties with such extreme limitations.

Limitations which have all the flavour of the stage magician who says, "please stay seated!".
Which should quickly becomes obvious wouldn’t work with even a little bit of thought. Ceding territory to the faintest of threats is like catering to the whims of a high school bully: the only thing it does is invite more bullying, not only from the original bully but from others too. It’s practically shouting through a megaphone, “I’m a punching bag! Please come punch me, I won’t resist!”
Because it's a purely statistical explanation that doesn't require understanding. Put differently, it's possible that GPT doesn't "understand" language itself as a concept, and instead tokens in the same language are just highly-correlated when it comes to prediction. When affecting weights between tokens, it wouldn't be surprising that those weights have effects across languages, much in the same way they work within languages - after all, it's all just probabilities to GPT.

Google Translate works in a comparable way, and nobody suggests that it is sentient.

Frankly, the argument that "GPT operates at a scale that means it must be sentient" is begging the question.
