You do realize that that's also likely true for all the thousands of Gods that've ever been imagined by humans? So I am gently nudging you to consider praying to them as well, just to be on the safe side. ;)
>I am gently nudging you to consider praying to them as well, just to be on the safe side. ;)
Lol do you guys remember Benny, from the mummy? There was a scene where he was going through necklaces of various religions, praying, and that's the image I can't get out of my head right now.
I think I disagree, I may be wrong, I usually am but here's what I think:-
I have looked into christianity from an atheist's critique and I read that in christianity, if you did even a minor sin (which I guess everybody does, because nobody's perfect), then all you have to do is, is say that Jesus didn't die in vain and you can go to heaven because all sins are forgettable.
This idea of all sins are forgettable is also in hinduism, with bathing in river ganga as well.
To me, I wonder, if Jesus exists, And some guy just worshipped him but he was a really bad guy, would he go into heaven? and Because the only sin unforgettable in if so, why should I really obey the christianity is being a skeptic of the religion/ blasphemy which is really ironic I guess, better make people worried about hell and if they question it, they automatically fall into it.
To be honest, there have been some really lucky instances in my life when If I ask god for something, he truly gives me that thing, I mostly ask for study related marks, like going to an exam hall without studying and still getting really decent marks imo compared to others simply because the exam was way tougher than expected and I am sitting like wow, I didn't realize the exam was tough because of my own issue of time issue... great....
I know it seems really petty that I believe in god / reject god because of fear/reward, but I genuinely don't know. All rational thinking really leads me to an idea that we haven't found God yet...,
If I have to believe in anything, if anything spiritual, it might be the idea of karma. I want to die knowing that if somebody bullies me sometimes and I don't speak back because I can say some really vile things but then there won't be any difference b/w me and them. So I just sit, I know that it hurts listening to them and probably try my best to ignore them but they still know that it hurts, so they try to chip me away..., I try to think of the best things I can speak that can make them realize I am not OKAY with their shit. I want to probably die knowing that me not shit talking back/ being pacifist has its value. IDK.... , maybe I am too weak and skinny. I legit never thought I am gonna get bullied but I guess some people are messed up
Those are some awesome videos. You'll notice that by the end of the series, he's using advanced notation everywhere as well. And you'll notice the original PDF has lots of pictures too. The use of calculus notation is required to be precise about differential geometry. It is not some kind of elitism, it's just the most effective way to communicate abstract ideas without misunderstanding. I hit a wall in my math understanding until I was willing to embrace the symbols, rules and manipulations of good notation.
I'd go further and say that mathematical and physics notation is beautiful unto itself. The evolution of symbols used to transmit abstraction is incredible. They are way of exploring patterns which can then be refined and layered using proven notational magic. So cool.
Why is the ARC challenge difficult but coding problems are easy? The two examples they give for ARC (border width and square filling) are much simpler than pattern awareness I see simple models find in code everyday.
What am I misunderstanding? Is it that one is a visual grid context which is unfamiliar?
We have an enormous amount of high quality programming samples. From there it's relatively straightforward to bootstrap (similar to original versions of alphago - start with human games, improve via self play) using leetcode or other problems with a "right answer"
In contrast, the arc puzzles are relatively novel (why? Well, this has to do with the relative utility of solving an arc problem and programmer open source culture)
Francois'(the creator of ARC-AGI benchmark) whole point was that while they look the same, they're not. Coding is solving a familiar pattern in the same way (and fails when it' s NOT doing that, it just looks like it doesn't happen because it's seen SO MANY patterns in code). But the point of Arc AGI is to make each problem have to generalize in some new ay.
I've always thought that using vertical space and indentation alone to organize code was a failure of imagination for IDE development. Why can't the IDE allow for and auto-format code in a horizontal line? For instance, I can easily imagine background color shading as an indicator of logical depth. That would be fun to play with.
And along those lines, why do coding best practices always encourage vertically stretched out logic? Its analogous to writing all literature as poetry. That's clearly suboptimal or at least limiting if you can read multiple ideas in a horizontal line.
So, I think, ideally, semantically-aware IDEs should allow for any formating and supply dynamic adjusters which can reformat code to the users preference, then save it in a presentation-agnostic encoding.
Yes. I appreciate the article because it gets people to think about high dimensional geometry. But I think the right takeaway is that in high dimensions, cubes have huge volume compared to the enclosed sphere. So the sphere is not spikey at all. Instead realize that the diagonals and volume of the cube get very large compared to the sphere.

Update - The underlying issue affecting a subset of our API customers (and ChatGPT by extension) is with an upstream part of our API authentication stack. We're simultaneously scaling up the underlying cache resource we found to be near capacity, and working on an alternate system that does not use the cache. We will keep you posted as soon as we have an update, and are sorry for the trouble this is causing you.

This depends crucially on your definition of AGI. LLMs are more like a mathematical function than they are a conscious being. If, in your opinion, AGI could be realized as a input/output function with no changing internal state, like a lens or a lookup table, then we could say LLMs could be an element of AGI. But if, like many of us, you believe an AGI needs a changing internal representation of the world, and an ability to mull over prior knowledge and incorporate new inputs, then LLMs are at best only a useful component of AGI. Maybe like the retina of the human eye plays some role in human visual intelligence.
The fact that LLMs appear so intelligent to humans is really a reflection of our inability to imagine effects of scale. We can understand simple linear predictions as trivial calculations, but when language-based pattern discovery is many layers deep and those patterns are combined in nontrivial (but non-intelligent) ways, we project intelligence onto the result.
I would afraid of some kind of an Experts system [1] written on Lisp as the most powerful PL [2] using NN [3] as an heuristic for some uncertain situation. I believe AGI/ASI level of an artificial intelligence is an interception of 1, 2, 3.
LLM is NN which is not a true Expert system, so it will never get rid of hallucinations. But one ability impresses me greatly - an ability to read long text and to make a digest, I craved this tool when I was a student.
> LLM is NN which is not a true Expert system, so it will never get rid of hallucinations.
One could point out that humans suffer from the same problem. Hallucinations should not be a problem for declaring something AGI. Additionally saying "science advances" is roughly the equivalent to "we've just realized we've all been hallucinating about X".
And there's in the extreme Turing's theorems. They do mean even a perfect ChatGPT would still not know everything (and practically, it would need time, a lot of time, before it really knew more than humans do).
