Welcome to the UK where citizens are so apathetic they don't care about aging infrastructure or government money being siphoned away.

Except they don't fail. The other day I got told that a bunch of management were extremely pleased with a quick and dirty implementation of a project, whose development was frozen before it had even met the initial requirements and it just makes me think again and again: what am I even doing this all for? My paycheck?

I mean we were seeing this even before AI. It's the same type of person. To slop is human.

It's like for some reason we thought that like some good percentage of us aren't just tribal worker drones who fundamentally just want fats, sugars, salts, dopamine and seratonin. People actively vote against things like UBI, higher corporate taxes, making utilities public. People actively choose to believe misinformation because it suits their own personal tribal narratives.

Well I feel like this is because a better system would distill such learning into tokens not associated with a human language and that that could represent logic better than using English etc for it.

I don't have the GPUs or time to experiment though :(

Yes, but I would appreciate it if it uses English to explain its logic to me.

I agree somewhat, but more when it comes to its use of logic - it only gleans logic from human language which as we know is a fucking mess.

I've commented before on my belief that the majority of human activity is derivative. If you ask someone to think of a new kind of animal, alien or random object they will always base it off things that they have seen before. Truly original thoughts and things in this world are an absolute rarity and the majority of supposed original thought riffs on what we see others make, and those people look to nature and the natural world for inspiration.

We're very good at taking thing a and thing b and slapping them together and announcing we've made something new. Someone please reply with a wholly original concept. I had the same issue recently when trying to build a magic based physics system for a game I was thinking of prototyping.

  it only gleans logic from human language

This isn’t really true, at least how I interpret the statement, little if any of the “logic” or appearance of such is learned from language. It’s trained in with reinforcement learning as pattern recognition.

Point being it’s deliberate training, not just some emergent property of language modeling. Not sure if the above post meant this, but it does seem a common misconception.

LLMs lack agency in the sense that they have no goals, preferences, or commitments. Humans do, even when our ideas are derivative. We can decide that this is the right choice and move forward, subjectively and imperfectly. That capacity to commit under uncertainty is part of what agency actually is.

But they do have utility functions, which one can interpret as nearly equivalent

From the country that brought you mass wastage of bicycles, now we get battery swapping.

This is pretty much just a "gamble by deploying as quickly as possible making our system the standard if it catches on" type of investment.

> Reduced Upfront Costs: Battery swapping allows drivers to purchase EVs without bearing the full cost of the battery, often the most expensive component.

I also wonder if it's a scheme to get people through the door and then leech off them with a lifetime subscription.

Well same thing as gaza, idk why the west mostly supports Israel. Is it because they're more "like us" than gazans?

I mean...how about we just not kill each other. Kept the drawn lines, make "settlers" illegal and be done with it.

But nah we all tribal monkeys, our species is poisoned by evolution. So we'll never stop taking from each other, killing each other.

Eh I don't think there are enough jammers to get everywhere. Otherwise a twinkling sea of laser light house to house repeaters, red stars in the dark is a pretty sounding dystopia.

Eh if you're gonna go that far with your logic then a runaway AI system intelligent and malevolent enough to require turning off the whole damn Internet in a place (or more likely globally, defeating the point anyway) will also be intelligent enough to use alternative means of communication.

RF is rife in our brave new world.

Lmao. You are so wrong. Addiction is the human brain wanting those sweet molecules to hit binding sites.

But you know, make it poetic or something. Suppose that's how religion still manages to thrive.

There is also very often a psychological aspect, which explains why some addicts are able to stop "cold turkey" if the psychological/contextual aspect of their addiction changes.

Oh for sure, I agree with that. Like smokers and the habit of touching something to the lips, inhaling. But at its core it's still a chemical dependency.
