Haha, no worries. Naturalist makes much more sense.

Naturism is a lifestyle and philosophical movement advocating for non-sexual social nudity. How is that related to crows?

What did it convert from?

Doing with it, sure, but the creation of LLMs, and the algorithms behind them, especially the training, are what I’m talking about. It’s a lot of very impressive, complicated math

I think it’s pretty pathetic that “fuck AI” has become the trendy, cool thing. It really misses the mark. It should be fuck capitalism and the sociopathic CEOs abusing it and shoving it down our throats. AI is not the problem.

Such a fallacy. Anything that falls under the umbrella of machine learning will contribute to future AI. We certainly won’t improve LLMs such that they become AGI, but all of it contributes.

And, whether or not future AI even uses traditional silicon computing is also irrelevant.

What matters is improved understanding of mathematics, neurons, chemistry, electronics, etc. That all happens each step of the way, even if the next technology is completely different.

I’m pro optimistic nihilism. Nothing has any inherent meaning, so I have the privilege of assigning my own meaning to things.

With our current mathematical models of physics, if you travel faster than light, you go backwards in time. Though, most scientific communities reject the possibility of FTL travel. However, there’s still the idea of tachyons, I guess.

I appreciate all the suggestions here, because I’ve been using Google and getting really annoyed by the AI overview. At first glance it seems useful, but it’s frequently just plain wrong or very misleading.

I think I’m going to just drop Google altogether, even though I’ve been using it pretty much as long as it existed. I remember first finding out about it when my dad worked at Kodak way back in the day.
