Comment Re:GPT-2 (and flies) cannot reason (Score 1) 238

we got more time/money/computing/training data/complexity AND in fact intelligence magically popped out, at least a given level of intelligence (but it seems you start from the thesis that "no intelligence is there". You know, when you start from the thesis it is hard to prove you wrong)

This paper wants to prove your thesis, i.e. that there is not really any intelligence there but it does so by removing time/money/computing/training data/complexity ... using gpt-2 for a model... not very surprisingly it doesn't get to the "level of intelligence" that modern LLM have.

As I said, if you are studying fruit flies to establish if humans beings are capable of chain-of-thoughts...

they re-train a gpt-2 decoder-only LLM to demonstrate their thesis...it is like saying that you studied fruit flies to understand if humans can reason. I thought we spent the past decade discussing scales and emerging capabilities, if anything the recent "failure to deliver" of GPT-5 is proving once again that what matter is the scale, with no scale leap there seems to be no performance leap, just incremental progress.

In Italy the "Serie A" (soccer championship, aka the only sport people here would pay for) is only provided by DAZN, and they raised their prices in the past couple of years effectively more than doubling them. It now costs 45 EUR/month so yes 150$/year is much lower than that. So the issue IS the nonsense price. I personally cancelled by subscription and gave up on watching Serie A, others decided to go for piracy even if that meant paying ~10 EUR/month, that is what a reasonable streaming service is expected to cost. BTW, the "war to piracy" allows streaming operators in Italy to ask for immediate blacklist of sites suspected of piracy, with internet providers forced to block access... it already happened that they "blocked by mistake" google drive services.
