Not sure if I’m not explaining myself, or you’re choosing to not understand me. I’m going to leave it here.

Kind of like saying that ChatGPT is people adding an AI player to the deterministic program of a chat… nah, I’m not going to discuss that. Tic-tac-toe is a classical example problem for neural networks 101, kind of a “hello world”.

7·7 months agoGood news: advances in medicine have reduced “physical” natural selection so much, that “intellectual” natural selection is overtaking it.
Now, if only all countries could say the same.
Keywords: NPU, unified RAM
Apple is doing it, AMD is doing it, phones are doing it.
GPUs with dedicated VRAM are an inefficient way of doing inference. They’ve been great for research purposes, into what type of NPU may be the best one, but that’s been answered already for LLMs. Current step is, achieving mass production.
5 years sounds realistic, unless WW3.

There are no “CoT LLMs”, a CoT means externally iterating an LLM. The strength of CoT, resides in its ability to pull up external resources at each iteration, not in dogfooding the LLM its own outputs.
“Researchers” didn’t “find out” this now, it was known from day one.
As for who needs to hear it… well, apparently people unable to tell apart an LLM from an AI.
It still is: https://www.google.com/search?q=tic+tac+toe+ai
Plenty of examples out there.

Seriously, people really need to learn to use AI as a tool, not as an omniscient oracle, and not as an idiot baby.

4·7 months agoOf course. I also hope this will stop like 99% of the skiddie spam. I’m just afraid that, like it has happened with hacking in general, a noob installing Kali will get a ton of one-click ways to bypass these measures… and then, what’s next?
Genai inserting watermarking would be great, but that’s hard to do with text, in any way that isn’t easily removed.

I’m seeing about as many wrong questions as wrong answers. We’re at a point, where it’s becoming more accurate to ask, whether the quality of the answer, is “aligned” with the quality of the question.
As for “AI” and “intelligence”… not so long ago, dogs had no intelligence or soul, and a tic-tac-toe machine was “AI”. The exact definition of “intelligence”, seems to constantly flow and bend, mostly following anthropocentric egocentrism trends.
Indeed. The point is, that asking about r is ambiguous.

I’d rather not answer this one because, if I did, I’d be pissing on Beehaw’s core values.
I feel like you already did, and I won’t be responding in kind. Good day, to you.





Education is supposed to teach “how to learn to learn”.
The whole thing with “do your own research”, is kind of funny:
Nobody has ended up in a psych hold, just by reading a bunch of Wikipedia articles, asking ChatGPT… then consulting a doctor.
