What is "Ancient Time"? Is that capitalization intentional?

Edit: Oh, maybe you meant "Ancient Rome"?

"Ancient history covers all continents inhabited by humans in the period 3000 BC – AD 500."

Is it simulating cells? atoms? or treating the neurons as black boxes?
miltondts · 2 years ago
From a quick read of the model used [0], it seems to simulate neurons and muscles at a functional level (not atoms or cell internals).

I found this description of the GPT-3 transformer architecture useful: https://dugas.ch/artificial_curiosity/GPT_architecture.html

Not eli5 but close enough.

What I don't understand is where is the memory? How does GPT-3 or ChatGPT remember so much information with just that architecture? It would seem that the maximum it could remember is 2048 words.

EDIT: Maybe it's 2048 x 96? Still seems low for what it can do.

Of course we are/have some kind of sophisticated pattern matching machines, what is language anyway? But we understand context in conversation, at least what we mean by understanding. GPT-3 doesn’t do any of that.
miltondts · 3 years ago
I'm fairly sure GPT-3 can't do any of that, because it was trained only with text. That is, it was trained without the context we are exposed to. Now imagine if it was trained with a body (similar sensors to what we have) in the real world. I'm not so sure we wouldn't get something indistinguishable from a human.

Is that under "realistic" economical assumptions? I.e. phasing out fossil fuel while keeping our political system and economy reasonably intact? Or is it even impossible if we stop emitting all CO2 tomorrow, because the warming is lagging behind?

Last I heard, we could still physically achive 1.5 degrees, but we would have to switch completely to command economy immediately and take a big reduction in economic activity (a couple times larger than during the peak of COVID). Which I believe is still better than the alternative.

Depends on the model used. Some models say we already have 2C locked in: https://www.ecowatch.com/greenhouse-gases-paris-agreement-26...
