Most people using LLMs do not understand the current AI is simply pattern matching using matrix algebra. You can scale up an abacus to the size of Texas and it will still never achieve anything remotely like intelligence. The end result of training every AI model is a stack of algorithms, subject to the well understood limits of computational complexity theory. Unfortunately, this perpetually "almost convincing" technology has fooled a lot of investors.

Algorithmic pattern recognition, using GPUs to do 16-bit matrix multiplication really fast, is interesting but it isn't "AI." The only place "AI" exists is in the marketing department. Dumbasses are protesting things they don't even understand, as usual.

Other civilizations have seen we are still so primitive we murder each other over tiny differences in beliefs in myths and fairy tales. We are clearly not worth the trouble. We have been isolated optically, so we cannot see the rest of the universe. Since the primates have failed, maybe another more intelligent species will rise after we destroy ourselves. Cephalopods maybe?

China has massive import duties and restrictions for most western products, unless they cannot make it themselves and there is no local industry to protect. The World needs to wake the fk up and stop letting China get away with destroying our industries while creating massive clouds of pollution.

Imagining Xitler jumping up and down, screaming "No! No! No! Stop talking!" gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.

Isn't that normal for a Windows server?

They were the ones buying for pennies on the dollar...

Was it all just billionaires paying politicians to approve terrible policies that push up crime and push down real estate prices? Now that they've bought large chunks of the cities at a discount, they've instructed the politicians to revert back to tough-on-crime policies, to push real estate values back up. I know this sounds ridiculous, but there were definitely some very rich people funding far left politicians and you can be sure they expect to benefit from it in some way. I probably need more tinfoil.

No doubt. I am not saying consciousness is magic. I am only saying the human brain is not an adding machine.

Algorithmic pattern recognition, doing matrix algebra really fast, will never be anything even remotely close to "AI." You can scale it up to the size of the planet and it doesn't matter - it is just an abacus made of silicon transistors. Consciousness is not computational.

Luckily for SMIC, they were able to buy large amounts of Western fabrication machines before the world became aware of Xi's true face. This is not a technology they can just copy - even ASML can only achieve this with the collaboration of several different countries on hardware and software. Huawei will be perpetually stuck in pre-2019 technology.

Every member of the Hugo administration, who took Chinese money, should resign or be sacked immediately. This is completely unacceptable.

Our simple binary computers are purely algorithmic, no matter how big the scale, and will never achieve anything even remotely like AGI. Until there is a major break through with a new type of computing, we are just scaling up an abacus.

Anyone remember the tensor core hype? No? That's what I thought...

It's one of those things that seemed like a good idea at the time, I guess.
