Hi, I’m Eric and I work at a big chip company making chips and such! I do math for a job, but it’s cold hard stochastic optimization that makes people who know names like Tychonoff and Sylow weep.
My pfp is Hank Azaria in Heat, but you already knew that.
It’s the weekend B) time to check in on the doomers w/ Dr. Torres…
Oh damn! I missed the irrefutable evidence of LLM reasoning. They must have done a series of replicable experiments that contradicts the overwhelming evidence that LLM reasoning is more or less a series of pattern matching heuristics. Let’s take a look together at their data lads, let the scales fall from our eyes.
… this is their confirmation of reasoning? And they say we are the ones who are fucking coping, lmaou.
It’s amazing to watch them flock together like this, nature is beautiful 😍
I cannot get over the fact that this man child who is so concerned with “the future of humanity” is both out right trying to buy the presidency and downplaying the very real weapons that can easily wipe out 70% of the Earth’s population in 2 hours. Remember ya’ll, the cost of microwaving the world is negligible compared to the power of spicy autocomplete.
The once and future king + ol’ muskrat give their most sensible total nuclear annihilation takes. Fellas, are we cooked?
omg, next time my wife asks me how she looks, I’m definitely dropping that “legible magyar admixture”
Edit: Didn’t work. She started talking about how in the old country, the Hungarians chased her family out of the village for being religious minorities. I give this approach 0 bags of popcorn and a magen david.
but I do believe brains are computers, but only in the broadest sense of what computation could be
Agree. A human brain is capable of executing the steps of a TM with pen/paper, and in that sense the brain is absolutely capable of acting as a computer. But as far as all the other process a brain does (breathing/maintaining heart rate/etc.) describing that as ‘a computer’ seems such an abuse of notation as to render the original definition meaningless. We might as well call the moon a computer since it is ‘calculating’ the effect of a gravitational field on a moon sized object. What I think many people are really claiming when they say a brain is a computer is that if only we could identify the correct finite state deterministic program, there would be no difference between the brain and its implementation in silicon. Personally, I find claims of substrate independence to be less plausible, but of course many of our dear friends are willing to bite that bullet.
