What they actually need to ban,.. Is AI generated data taken as input to their models. Garbage in Garbage out (exponentially), leading to model collapse https://www.nature.com/article... On second thoughts - dont ban that.

I don't think China is too concerned over US sanctions.

I feel this article needs a link to Flight of the Conchord classic:

"We used poisonous gasses and we poisoned their asses."

"Lets back up your body, we'll back you up into our cloud clone, Have peace of mind knowing its always protected, even if something happens to this body".

My conclusion: Elon needs to sue himself for not seeing the risks of his investment.

I think the question of whether the LLMs perform reasoning is an interesting one, so I asked Gemini and here is the answer:
"Large Language Models (LLMs) do not engage in human-like reasoning but simulate it by generating statistically probable text based on learned patterns. While techniques like Chain-of-Thought (CoT) enable them to break down problems into steps and solve complex tasks, this is often pattern matching or "mimicry" rather than true logical deduction, frequently failing on novel or slightly altered problems. "

I know that SAP (probably Europes biggest software developer) are working on sovereign cloud for their services https://www.sap.com/products/s.... But if you look at all of the things that we take for granted today IT service wise from the US, really Europe are currently barely scratching the surface. For sure we need to be independent, but we are really only just starting on that journey.

A good read.
Yeah I have to say I have been thinking roughly this for some time - but not able to articulate it as clearly as in the article (must be a problem with my LLM ;))
LLMs are marketted as the next step to AGI, but we are still a long way away from that.
I was at a tech conference recently, and they were presenting solutions to the memory issue, so there are ways to attack these problems, but at the moment they are primitive in nature.

Coldplay fans?

Current AI has no reasoning facility, it is just serving up a mix-up of content that has been collected around the topics queried for. As such responsibility cannot be applied as responsibility requires reason and there is no way to reason with current AI. It can present what it finds, but it does not understand it.

The quote I focus on is this "Each training phase compounds prior compromises".

Its potentially compromised in the training data sets (and given the size of these this is highly likely) and the prompts supplied. If you train over half the internet, you will include compromises.

Moths are drawn to artificial light sources, this as they use the light source to facilitate finding a mate, and whilst you could potentially argue this is "natural", these plants will end up spreading in the outdoor environment, and we end up upsetting nature.

So the delivery company (where I live) for Amazon prime claims to be "Carbon neutral" - and this I find really hard to believe, given that the chap performing the delivery is driving around a diesel van that is chucking out black smoke everywhere. Clearly this is more about Carbon neutral cooking the books in some ridiculous offset scheme or other. Companies should not be able to make claims like this and offset schemes are the biggest scam of them all... https://www.theguardian.com/en...
