The Statue of Liberty isn’t actually in New York but they still put it on the T-shirts.

I feel like Las Vegas takes fourth just purely from cultural relevance.

If it was by population then the 4th would be Houston but no one gives a shit about Houston.

Just seems hypocritical for a self-proclaimed Buddhist to open a chat and immediately try to throw hands

My first interaction with a self-proclaimed Buddhist was in an Omegle chat where he opened with something like “the US staged 9/11”, I guess in an attempt to rage-bait

That’s great man, get it out of here

Needs more fucking JPEG, I can still barely make out what it’s holding

Or what about how the first fifteen minutes of each season 2 episode is just “last time on…” and viewers decide they don’t have the time for this shit

Seems like a positive feedback loop:

1. Netflix creates show that’s pretty good
2. People watch it
3. Netflix takes too long to release season 2
4. People forget show exists, stop watching
5. Netflix drops a season years later
6. No one watches it because they forgot what happened in season 1 and Netflix shows are so serial that you have to know what happened
7. Netflix cancels show due to low viewership
8. Fans of the show feel jilted and slam Netflix on social media
9. Rinse and repeat

These might be sold separately but don’t cheap out, if you want them to wear evenly then replace both at the same time.

I’ve been saying this for a while: without opining whether or not machine learning models are even capable of consciousness, there’s no way in hell LLMs are.

These are once-through, completely immutable models. Any activity that could be remotely construed as “thought” evaporates the instant it outputs a token, and then it starts over from scratch.

Good fucking luck being conscious when your consciousness only exists for a fraction of a fraction of a second at a time.

A little flag pops out that says “bang!”

This is something we lost when game developers stopped publishing free demos. I cannot imagine how “just buy it and refund it if you don’t like it” is somehow better for the industry.

Freddie had power bottom energy tho

That song was actually written by guitarist Brian May.

So this dude:

Is the real ass-man of Queen.

I started growing my hair out unintentionally, I just stopped getting it cut during the pandemic.

I’ve found a hair wrapped around my balls more than once. Those fucking things love to go spelunking, man.

The Internet gives us access to the kind of depths of human depravity on a daily basis that most people wouldn’t have been exposed to in 1968, unless they had just gotten back from Vietnam.

Case in point: Fox News

Not sure what this internal state you are referring to is. Are you talking about all the values that come out of each step of the computations?

It would need to be able to form memories like real brains do, by creating new connections between neurons and adjusting their weights in real time in response to stimuli, and having those connections persist. I think that’s a prerequisite to models that are capable of higher-level reasoning and understanding. But then you would need to store those changes to the model for each user, which would be tens or hundreds of gigabytes.

These current once-through LLMs don’t have time to properly digest what they’re looking at, because they essentially forget everything once they output a token. I don’t think you can make up for that by spitting some tokens out to a file and reading them back in, because it still has to be human-readable and coherent. That transformation is inherently lossy.

This is basically what I’m talking about:

But for every single token the LLM outputs. The fact that it’s allowed to take notes is a mitigation for this context loss, not a silver bullet.

There are thousands of starving furry artists out there who would be happy to take your commission.

The conversion of the output to tokens inherently loses a lot of the information extracted by the model and any intermediate state it has synthesized (what it “thinks” of the input).

Until the model is able to retain its own internal state and able to integrate new information into that state as it receives it, all it will ever be able to do is try to fill in the blanks.
