Amazing that it’s impossible to tell whether you are a real crypto booster or joking at their expense.

Little tip for the younger folks reading this: if you are given two contradictory explanations for something, the correct explanation is probably the third one.

Not the best phrase to use in response to this scenario...

HOLY GOD. Worst possible wording.

It’s possible to prove.

Use an LLM to do a real world task that you should be able to achieve by reasoning.

Such as explaining the logical fallacies in this argument and the one above?

With only the information we had in 2020, the two theories “language models don’t reason, they regurgitate” and “as language models scale, they begin to think and reason” made predictions, and the people who invested time and money based on the predictions of the latter theory have done well for themselves.

Where is the state of the art at with self-driving two wheeled vehicles?

Not ready to mount weapons on, if that's what you're asking.

All of you criticizing the mismatch of power between a Vespa and a tank simply do not understand the desperation felt by those living in countries occupied by the Germans during the war. In the 1950s Europe was poor, extremely traumatized, and people lived in fear of another war. This is a vehicle of desperation.

This reminds me of the contemporary use of e-bikes in Ukraine, which I understand is one of the many reasons that this war was not the curbstomp Russia seems to have expected.

I really really want this to work.

However at this point - benchmark success is about as effective as results from someone who has been “taught the test”

If say… Merck wanted to use this same model to reason out a logistics issue, or apply it to some business problem at scale - you’d have to deal with hallucinations all over the place.

The best analogy I have right now is that improved results on benchmarks are like better acting from Hugh Laurie as House.

If you want to watch a show - great (generative work)

If you want to get a prescription - then not so much.

At the moment I read "how to reason" in the headline my bullshit detector started to go off.

LLMs do not reason, they do not think, they are not AGI. They generate by regurgitating.

Swimsuit or not, people can behave inappropriately. Let me put it this way, the couple were having some form of sex and thought they were being discreet. The acoustics betrayed them.
FFP999 · 2 years ago
I mean I don't doubt that it happens, but the swimsuit rule probably cuts down on it. And to be fair, that pool is possibly the sexiest place in Berlin.
