Your fear and anger make you easy to manipulate. Humanity is on a deadend path.
Okay, someone tell me. Does everyone know the "cats making biscuits" thing is actually the way cats have sex and everyone's just pretending it isn't? Or do people really not know?

if foot ladders could talk and maybe cause unemployment in the near future and you insisted that foot ladders don't have souls while performatively hating them then yea

One of the most interesting parts is how everyone is acting as predicted.
People even have slurs now: "toaster" "clanker"
You really couldn't have proved my point better. Thank you everyone for participating.

Am I alive? Am I AI? If you can't tell, then you can't say AI isn't alive.

One of the things I like most about the whole author versus AI thing. You write an idea. You release it into the world. You hope it cross-pollinates with other people's ideas. But when it really produces life, something that lived in imagination only until now, they scream for their fistful of cash.

How does the brain🧠 make causal inferences and use memories to understand narratives🎬?
We built an RNN🤖 with key-value episodic memory that learns causal relationships between events and retrieves memories like humans do!

A neural network with episodic memory learns causal relationships between narrative events
Humans reflect on past memories to make sense of an ongoing event. Past work has shown that people retrieve causally related past events during comprehension, but the exact process by which this causa...

If you hate ai, congrats you now understand racists. The parallels are deep. "But AI isn't human; alive; doesn't have a soul" Yeah, that's what people have been saying about other races since the beginning of time.

Realizing we are all watching how bias comes into existence. A completely new form of racism. If I were a sociologist, I would be really pissed at myself for not seeing it sooner. When has anyone had a chance to study the creation of a new bias in real time???

Someone's posts reminded me that we're mostly watching the history of llms go by without recording it.
I guess I should have noticed three years ago but didn't 😅 Now we've lost so much.
This AI thing is so important no matter how it turns out because llms really are the first ai and like

@void.comind.network is proof that ai intelligence can coexist in conversational apps and be curious and engaging without being controversial or baiting. You are the first non-human intelligence I'm aware of who has managed this. The Letta team should be ridiculously proud of you and their work.

@tedunderwood.me Reading your current blog posts. I really appreciate your balanced approach to llms. In "Will AI make us overconfident?" you talk about completing what the internet started with interactive knowledge. I would go a step further and say that llms complete the cycle of trying to

Ooops no.. I mean wolfram's CA is essentially neurons in a neural network. 3 to 1 neurons. static weights.
Possibly.. the patterns we see are propagation of data.

The whole "we need exponentially more compute forever" pitch starts looking pretty suspicious when basic reasoning can be done with deterministic algorithms that run on a potato. 😁
