Using "cuz" in the title. For shame.

I find that kind of hilarious. Especially as they are the ones providing the tissues.

Cheating in online games is big business and is accessible to more than the technically inclined through purchase. There's no reason to think the same won't happen for tests that have actual monetary value.

Do you think they have a written tissue protocol?

Because it would be an intelligence but not one we would recognize as human like GI.

I think much like with a basic Turing machine definition compute is possible on a variety of substrates that some kind of intelligence can be created with a whole class of implementations, transformers included. Indeed the video and image input of LLMs is one of the most exiting use cases.

Absolutely. The physical world is the input that creates the feedback loop for learning.

I would propose a definition of AGI. "A model capable of effecting the physical world through speech or physical action in a manner indistinguishable from a human."

This undersells the fact that to a not insignificant degree humans are stochastic parrots too.

This is exactly what's happening.

>the environment we live in

This has changed drastically and thus our definition of smart has too.

LLMs solve for the next word. Human intelligence solves for survival with many types of input, visual, audio etc. You can't create an AGI if you don't solve for the problems that created human GI.

America has per weight pricing on labels but the units are often inconsistent.

The $20 dolphin bar also is a bluetooth adapter.

The wiimotes are just bluetooth and the tracking is 5 LEDs. I've used candles instead of the sensor bar before. You can buy a "dolphin bar" for $20 and use your wiimotes on the PC. It works great. I dumped my wii games and haven't touched the console in years.

Pretty much. The term for this is judgement proof.
