Not entirely correct. This kind of fine-grained model behaviour is built in post training stages, RL, RLHF etc, where model receives rewards or penalties for talking (or not talking) a certain way

"3. a speculative or conjectural view or idea"

Must surely exceed P(AI doom)

I've formalised a few dozen papers from 80s-90s with lean and holy cow the number of author's typos and straight up errors and sometimes false statements is pretty scary. The solution path may not be the one indicated or used by the author, but at least you can easily spot all those issues which would have been very hard to do by hand

And c-n / c-p - with those you barely ever need arrow keys

Depends on your field. When one microsecond is considered "hellishly slow", you might reconsider

It's like saying who likes to ride a bicycle in the world of cars, you can do it much easier with a plain steering wheel.

Well... sure it's more efficient (although in some cities and certain routes it's not; same with coding and LLMs). But some of us just love riding the bicycle and enjoying the nature, you know. Perhaps even strengthening our muscles as we do it, as a healthy side effect.

Yes, but then it may sound as if "both/all" is being highlighted which it isn't in the neutral "they are doctors" statement

Not going to lie, I was a bit confused at first (before visiting the link), why would BBC publish an anti-AI post for software developers.

Indulging in musicianship works very well, too. As in, learning a musical instrument, say classical piano, with some external guidance.

You'll have to activate parts of brain you might never had to previously, it's quite some mental gymnastics but also an immersive mind + body + aural connection. You may feel exhausted after an intensive practice session but in a very rewarding way. You'll have to learn to learn differently.

We'd have to wait on LeCun to make progress on that

Artificial general incompetence?

Someone did care enough to create a throwaway account to vent here, it seems.

And how can we tell for sure if it's good or bad? Does killing these birds and mammals help maintain the ecosystem balance (due to these birds and mammals not killing billions other animals down the food chain, or not spreading infections and viruses), or the other way around?
