It is like saying that mitochondria are the power plants of eukaryotic cells. Hence evidence for industrial revolution in cells.

The LLM is still essentially what it was, a stochastic parrot which makes ranked lists of word probabilities and word pairing probabilities. There is zero modeling of an actual world. The only thing its doing is modeling next-word probabilities, its only "world" is statistical frequencies of strings within blocks of text. It is so very very far from AGI that all the hype around it is just ludicrous. They understand nothing. I would recommend anything by Emily Bender, who coined the phrase stochastic parrot, on this topic. The fundamental algorithms of LLM machines has not changed in the past year. If it has, @iNow could post some citation on that. Yep. Self attention is a basic aspect of all machine learning, especially natural language processing, and pattern recognition as in computers doing visual discrimination of objects.

A nod's as good as a wink to a blind man 🤐

You've been holding that in for so long it must be a tremendous release to finally say it out loud! Feel better now that you've quit pretending you are actually interested in what the science says?

I have never lived or been to anywhere with a large area of snow, did you mean the image of the whole sun can sometimes been seen on the snow surface? What if a particular angle of a car where the reflected light is particularly strong? Which usually happens when the light hits directly on the glass of the headlight and reflects.

One of the best things congress could do would be to accelerate processing of asylum claims and worker permits instead of making people who cross wait 5-9 years just for a hearing, but that’s for another thread.

A new poll came out that said 7 out of 10 republicans are morons. Specifically, the poll said 67% of the republicans say Biden's election was not legitimate, which is the same thing as saying they are morons.

Nope. I tried to bend the discussion in that direction, finding the most useful definition, but it seems everyone wants to stick to their definition. I think this is the main problem when discussing free will: people first decide if we have free will or not, and then rationalise their viewpoint. I gave it a try in the other free will thread: But it did not help. I have the impression, that nobody ever gave a good argument against the concept of compatibilist free will. All arguments given are against libertarian free will, which for me is like arguing that circles have no angles. The concept of libertarian free will is just as incoherent as a circle with angles.

The reply was: It does not actually answer the question, "how fast". To answer this question, one needs to take the derivative, \( (\frac 1 {1-t})' = \frac t {(1-t)^2} \). This grows infinitely when \(t \rightarrow 1 \). Thus, the answer to the question "how fast is 'fast enough'?" is, "infinitely fast".

No, no,no, wait. What time have passed since the first homo sapiens started walking straight? I assume it's enough time for the next 'large-scale changes'? Since evolution is a continuous process. At first it was a huge change - chimpanzee turned into a homo sapiens. (You like to say "common ancestor", but if we are true to ourselves, it's a chimpanzee.)What a great change in the genotype. And then these are "lactose tolerance, pigmentation." I think about evolution as of a development. So, turning (ok) the common ancestor into a human is a development or it's a change in the gene-pool? It seems that turning the common ancestor into a human being is a great deal event. In my opinion, this is occurrence of mind, and even more-awareness. I ask about evolutionary change, comparable to this event. Or, at least, its origins.

They are. That's why i responded that way.

Chimpanzee–human last common ancestor The chimpanzee–human last common ancestor (CHLCA) is the last common ancestor shared by the extant Homo (human) and Pan (chimpanzee and bonobo) genera of Hominini. Estimates of the divergence date vary widely from thirteen to five million years ago. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimpanzee–human_last_common_ancestor Here this evolution theory, and it contradicts itself.

Why don't scientists just accept creation? And accept existence of God, because the science doesn't have proper instruments to prove. Too many questions, too many white spots. And people think, you know, people have capacity to think.

What evidence? How does this evidence explain harmony and mathematical accuracy of nature?

Origin of life Origin of a man Origin of a soul Would you sell me your soul, which you don't believe in for 10 dollars? I'm waiting for this answer very much.
