  • Education is supposed to teach “how to learn to learn”.

    Left to his own devices, then, without knowing quite what to ask or how to interpret the responses, the man in this case study “did his own research”

    The whole thing with “do your own research”, is kind of funny:

    • some use it to avoid explaining their points
    • others use it to come up with a lot of nonsense
    • while the proper way to begin any “research”, is to… ask an expert.

    Nobody has ended up in a psych hold, just by reading a bunch of Wikipedia articles, asking ChatGPT… then consulting a doctor.

    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.












  • 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.
