alt Hacker NewsAh some No True Scotsman
Not sure why justanotherjoe is a credible resource on who is and isn’t expert in some new dialectic and euphemism for machine state management. You’re that nobody to me :shrug:
Yann LeCun is an AI guy and has simplified it as “not much more than physical statistics.”
WWhole lot of AI is decades old info theory books applied to modern computer.
Either a mem value is or isn’t what’s expected. Either an entire matrix of values is or isn’t what’s expected. Store the results of some such rules. There’s your model.
The words are made up and arbitrary because human existence is arbitrary. You’re being sold on a bridge to nowhere.
I'm not being gatekeeper here. John Carmack came into AI around 2021 iirc and came in Lex Friedman and said he's going to bring about AGI. It's okay for him to try so but he had no particular expertise in the field. He's a brilliant guy and I'm not gonna say he's not going to succeed, or that his opinion is worthless. But people seeemed to think that the whole field is a farce just waiting for an adult to come in and fix it. I find that biased. By the way this is how people end up worshipping figures like Musk. There's a limit to transfer function of human expertise, ironically to the discussion at hand.
That's just what I think anyway.
