About a year ago I thought this would settle down but it's only gotten worse. I suppose the llm anthropomorphizing will continue until morale improves

Generational transfer is very important to me and the main reason I build my "antilibrary".

Not only has tech based "browsing" failed to even come close to the power of a full bookshelf, it has absolutely no transfer quality.

I want my kids to see my bookshelf!

Great post. I wonder how much this can improve if you RAG-ify a diverse set of contextual data, for example calendar, meals, recent conversations from the real world, etc.

It's also interesting that бля was translated to 'damn'. :)

I'm not a critic of AI or moving any goal posts. I'm not lobbing comments in a vacuum. I was responding directly to the comical proposal that we don't need actors anymore, to which my Godfather comment has every relevance. Thanks anyway!

We must be speaking past each other. I am not out for acclaim and sorry for any confusion. Everything you say is exactly the point I'm trying to make, evidently clumsily. The "mysterious thing" is the human element. I don't know what else to call it? Humans that ace tests prove only that they are good at acing tests. Not that they're good at running businesses or practicing law. Not creating films (in this example), or music, etc.

I am not knocking the advancements, the capabilities are incredible. But machines have been doing what humans cannot since the dawn of time. I'm just pointing out what I think (thought?) was obvious: machines will soon be able to do just about everything that doesn't really matter.

PS. are you familiar with Wittgensteins ruler? Ask chatGPT about it.

I scored 159 on the LSAT in 2014, so I am not claiming the tests are easy. I am pointing out that when an AI aces them, it says more about the test than anything else.

Of course it would be easier. I agree. I just take issue with the "why humans" thing because if anything, the recent advancements highlight just how big the human element really is.

Can you imitate a Bach prelude? Sure. And only people who aren't actually familiar with his music would be impressed.

Much of AI approaching "human performance", is it approaching the lowest bar. There's a Wittgenstein thing going on here. That an LLM can ace the LSAT or GMAT is mostly an indictment of those tests.

A little off topic.

Please try to make an original movie that meets the standard of, say, The Godfather, with AI.

You don't have to imagine it, it's already the way it is. A company social hierarchy is just a little more forgiving than a high school.

As far as tech goes the US "gets back in return" the best talent coming out of Canadian universities. This isn't exactly peanuts.

> Bill maher, musk, russel brand have called Trudeau hitler. These aren't unreasonable positions.

What?

Anyone know if breath is also connected to specific body parts? Really crude contrived example to illustrate what I mean: deep breathing affecting the left arm, shallow breathing affecting the right arm?

I always felt there must be some connection but never really understood how to even investigate. I definitely noticed that certain deep breathing was extraordinarily useful for alleviating IBS symptoms... basically the physical expansion of the lungs (contracting the diaphragm) clearly physically pressed upon the intestinal tract and massaged it (this is personal experience, anecdotal)... I have always wondered if this principle was extendable further?

Everything I've seen about the lungs is always about what it does for oxygen/co2 regulation in the blood... feels like this really underestimates whats going on
