Rest assured, i don’t agree with it either, but as you say this seems to follow from the statement
We shouldn’t treat/cure cancer, cancer happens in nature and we’re a part of nature
We shouldn’t try to prevent rape, rape happens in nature and we’re part of nature
We shouldn’t try to limit animal suffering, animal suffering happens in nature and we’re part of nature
It’s the good old argument from naturalism
If i see you get attacked by wild animals i guess i won’t try to help you, wouldn’t want to go against nature or anything
I have more than once typed shutdown instead of reboot when working on a remote machine… always fun
But i have to have my monitor on max brightness else i can’t see anything due to my dark theme!
Easy:
Everything’s a matrix if you realize there is no spoon
Hey! Those are my ancestors you’re dissing you know
The image is obviously upside down
Standing desks is out, the new fad is hanging upside down like a bat while working
It’s serverless, not servernone
Exported everything in lastpass as CSV, imported it into KeePass, the vault file is synchronized between my devices using syncthing, i never looked back
Boats float because an ideal boat floats, Archimedes and Aristotle are both bitches

“the earth is flat since water is always level, oh except water mountains”
Actually, i could imagine a flat earther would say that now that i think about it
It has access to a python interpreter and can use that to do math, but it shows you that this is happening, and it did not when i asked it.
I asked it to do another operation, this time specifying i wanted it to use an external tool, and it did
You have access to a dictionary, that doesn’t prove you’re incapable of spelling simple words on your own, like goddamn people what’s with the hate boners for ai around here
Big fan of philosophy, so please do tell me how my joke is wrong? Does knowledge and beliefs not come from life experiences?
The AI builds some kind of a model of the world in order to better understand the input and improve the output prediction,
You have some mental model of how maths work which you have built up through school and other experiences in your life,
You both are given a maths problem, you both give an answer based on your understanding of mathematics
Prompt:
What is 183649+72961?
ChatGPT:
The sum of 183649 and 72961 is 256610.
It’s trained to generate what is most plausible, but with math, the only plausible response is the correct answer (assuming it has been trained on data where that has been the case)
If i train an LLM to do math, for the training data i generate a+b=cstatements, never showing it the same one twice.
It would be pointless for it to “memorize” every single question and answer it gets since it would never see that question again. The only way it would be able to generate correct answers would be if it gained a concept of what numbers are, and how the add operation operates on them to create a new number.
Rather than memorizing and parroting it would have to actually understand it in order to generate responses.
It’s called generalization, it’s why large amounts of data is required (if you show the same data again and again then memorizing becomes a viable strategy)
If I say “Two plus two is four” I am communicating my belief about mathematics.
Seems like a pointless distinction, you were told it so you believe it to be the case? Why can’t we say the LLM outputs what it believes is the correct answer? You’re both just making some statement based on your prior experiences which may or may not be true
You take in some information, combine that with some precious experiences, and then output words
Which is what an LLM does.
We do have evidence that at least one species give their members individual names, and at least a portion of the members understand the concept of evolution
So i would say we have more evidence for this meme being accurate than any god being real
