Your wiktionary link indicates it is not a common expression in English but instead something "rationalist community" people say.

What's laughable is an OpenAI employee invented the term "PHD level intelligence" and you think that " PHD Level intelligence" is a real term that describes a real thing and you are repeating it here.

Most people probably want to get a game and play it without figuring out how to navigate pirate web sites.

Is it possible that a lot of people are hoping for a dot-com bubble 2.0 so they can sell at the market peak before it pops?

That would explain why they're ignoring fundamentals.

They could think that OpenAI and Anthropic IPOs will drive prices higher, and it still isn't time to sell.

For what it's worth my Coinbase account, which I've never used for anything but sign up bonuses, seems to be linked to Google Pay but not a bank account. I just checked and I can still log in.

Good point. I meant like Tinkerbell.

If you didn't call GPT 3.5 AGI I do not believe you when you claim you would have called 5.5 AGI.

Hobbits are between two and four feet tall.

I think the "little people" in the article are more fairy sized or smaller. The BBC article linked to at that article says they were seen on dishes.

Are those "smart people you know" machine learning researchers?

> and turns out it can do it

Not really- if you had examined the output closely you probably would have seen noticed it conflated chapter 13 and 14 or 14 and 15. Or you got very lucky on a generation. It definitely doesn't exactly know what happens in each chapter unless it has a reference to check.

> This might sound callous, but I wonder if people saying this themselves have very limited brains more akin to stochastic parrots rather the average homo sapiens.

I have a different theory.

Aside from a few exceptions like Blake Lemoine few people seem to really act as if they believe A.I. is doing the same thing the human mind is doing.

My theory is people are for some reason role-playing as people who believe human thought is equivalent to A.I. for undisclosed reasons they themselves may or may not understand. They do not actually believe their own arguments.

I wouldn't expect an AI to know exactly what happens in every chapter of a book.

Knowing the plot of Neuromancer isn't the same as being able to recite a chapter by chapter summary.

I tried this Neuromancer query a few times and results greatly vary with each regeneration but "do not include spoilers" seems to make Gemuni give more spoilers, not less.

I'm curious: did you give Gemini the entire text of Neuromancer or did you expect it to use search results for chapters 1 to 14?

I would have just fed it the text of chapters 1 to 14 from a non drm copy.

The first Cyberpunk book, Neuromancer, has a plot which revolves around A.I recruiting human agents to forward its plans...

I've found Gemini works better for search when used through a Perplexity subscription. (Though these things can quickly change).

I played around with it and its better than it used to be but if you ask it something like

"Whats the name of the third book in the peripheral trilogy going to be" it just regurgitates some dumb reddit comment by someone who seems to be making things up.

There's no actual title that has been announced and the reddit post was not a reasonable bit of speculation.

The problem with these LLMs is they rarely say "the search results were not credible no response can be provided."

I'm not the person you replied to but I'm wondering which Google AI product you are referring to that you use for search which is so excellent that you need someone to find for you an example of it failing?

I think Google has several ai products with search features?

Which one in your experience "seems correct"?

I'm fascinated because I've never found any LLM to be particularly error free at search.

By that logic a Markov chain is better on average just for the fact that it was trained on a large corpus of human knowledge, including psychology, therapy and study material.

I've definitely posted to the same subreddit with two different accounts by accident without being banned.

The android reddit app annoyingly doesn't check for account matches. If you click a browser notification link on Account A it can open a reply form on App account B.

You are exaggerating, right? They didn't really fire the entire Arc team did they? I couldn't find a source saying that.

42 wasn't a low quality answer.

The joke revolves around the incongruity of "42" being precisely correct.

Even if America is an empire and VoA is propaganda "Imperial Manager" doesn't seem very descriptive of what a judge does.

Are you suggesting it hasn't occured to people in Tel Aviv that they could be bombed, and that the prediction market is providing this function?

Are you talking about the same thing everyone else is?

Imagine the conversation went like this:

A: "Maybe we shouldn't sacrifice 500 virgins to the Aztec God to predict the harvest next hear?"

B "Why not? Killing virgins to predict the harvest are well calibrated (ie accurate).."

Adding web search doesn't necessarily lead to better information at any context.

In my experience the model will assume the web results are the answer even if the search engine returns irrelevant garbage.

For example you ask it a question about New Jersey law and the web results are about New York or about "many states" it'll assume the New York info or "many states" info is about New Jersey.

> If you took Einstein at 40 and surgically removed his hippocampus so he can't learn anything he didn't already know (meaning no online learning), that's still a very useful AGI.

I like how people are accepting this dubious assertion that Einstein would be "useful" if you surgically removed his hippocampus and engaging with this.

It also calls this Einstein an AGI rather than a disabled human???

There is no right to vote in the constitution as written and interpreted in the 1700s. There is also no guarantee of freedom of speech. The first amendment was considered a rule that only applied federally.

What's democratically illegitimate is everything you wrote in this thread.

If your state government threw you in jail for what you just wrote that would be perfectly aligned with your "original understanding" interpretation of the U.S constitution.

What doesn't make any sense is proposing the constitution be interpreted as it was when there was no general right to vote or general right to political speech... then claiming this is the "voters decide" option.

Pretty sure you don't go through an x-ray conveyor belt when you exit a plane.

I think something was lost in the telling. I could see a kiosk worker saying this or similar.

> I personally have a theory that the parting gift of the Baby Boomer generation will be to get rid of Social Security and Medicare since they don't need it anymore.

They do need social security and Medicare. Studies show even with social security and Medicare half or more might struggle in retirement due to insufficient savings.
