I've noticed that it sometimes smells like epoxy glue. I wonder if we're thinking of the same scent.

Quickly filtering out a subset of them to prioritize so that we get the most value possible out of the time that humans spend on it.

LLMs cannot:

  • Tell fact from fiction
  • Accurately recall data from its training set
  • Count

LLMs can

  • Translate
  • Get the general vibe of a text (sentiment analysis)
  • Generate plausible text

Semantics aside, they're very different skills that require different setups to accomplish. Just because counting is an easier task than analysing text for humans, doesn't mean it's the same it's the same for a LLM. You can't use that as evidence for its inability to do the "harder" tasks.

Sounds to me like a 50% improvement over zero human eyes.

It certainly would be. Thankfully, there's many more than zero human eyes involved in this.

Considering that it's a language task, LLMs exist, and the cost, it's a reasonable assumption. It'd be pretty silly to analyse a bag of words when you have tools you can use with minimal work with much better results. Even sillier to spend over $200 for something that can be run on a decade old machine in a few hours.

Yeah, this sounds like something I'd find at a diner.

As if he didn't already have them

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

Possible. I haven't been following them that closely.

Not just afford a one bedroom apartment. They should be able to do so and also afford to go to work. You can get housing for next to nothing in bumfuck nowhere, but if you can't get to work while living there, then there's no point.

I never implied that we didn't. I'm telling you that we can always measure something and asking you to clarify which of these measurements constitute brainwave activity. Is the activity in the ovum a brainwave? Is it after the first signs of a notochord? After the notochord disappears completely? First cell to differentiate to eventually become part of the neural tube? When the neural tube starts bulging out? When there's enough bulging to see three district vesicles? Or five? Appearance of the first neuron? Or when neurogenesis stops? Or when the nervous system is sufficiently developed to take control of certain bodily functions? Or the activity when the nervous system is "fully developed" as an adult? Or something else?

You can measure electromagnetic activity in an unfertilized egg. The question is when does this activity become brainwave activity.
