fishe··on Transformers Can Do Arithmetic with the Right Embeddings
Ants behave in ways that a modern computer still can't imitate. I don't think that generalized intelligence is possible but if it is it would need a different starting point than our current computing hardware. Even insects are flexible in ways that computers aren't.
fishe··on Transformers Can Do Arithmetic with the Right Embeddings
All of our deductive reasoning is founded in induction. For example, the basis of all arithmetic is physics analogies regarding things that exist and the understanding that a thing implies another thing is not based in deduction. Similarly, I suspect from my own experience that general reasoning requires a basic understanding of physics if its origin isn't something ineffable. The ability to connect and find implications cannot itself be purely deductive and it would seem to me that an understanding of physical reality would have to be the origin for that ability.
