Of course not. But you would write a different comment that would be worth more.

Has a tractor manufacturer ever been held responsible for an injury caused by one of their tractors?

I know someone who got his foot cut in half by an auger. Do you think the auger manufacturer paid for that injury? No, of course not.

Your comment would actually be worth something if you perused the paper: https://transformer-circuits.p...

"[Man] is to the ape, and to the most intelligent animals, as the planetary pendulum of Huygens is to a watch of Julien Le Roy". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

The takeaway from this paper is that neural networks are definitely doing something, and by using statistical investigative tools and introspection (or, looking into the network) we can understand how they work. The LLM is not just a big black box, it's big. We can understand it.

There's a bit of euphoric interpretation that is not justified, however. Similar language could be used to describe a CPU, for example, there is a region involved (much like the human brain) in performing arithmetic and logic (the ALU) that is not involved in automatic decision making (the control circuitry).

Or we could say as Julien Offray de La Mettrie, "Intelligence is like clockwork, but humans are like an ultra-precise atomic clock, while LLMs are like Casio wristwatches." Humans have long compared the brain to the latest technological device. It's going to take a lot more work to find the equivalence, though; LLMs are not on the same level as brains.

One note from a science process technicality: the closed-source nature of these LLMs makes reproducibility very difficult, which weakens the strength of their result.

Brainrot why are you arguing against the words of an administration that has been gone nearly a century?

This has been studied scientifically, go look up more modern research. You don't need to rely on opinions of people.

If you're not willing to search for evidence, then you have no basis for talking about this topic, being by definition ignorant.

Yeah, it's a probability field, not a binary solution.

I will say, in the 90s, disc writers were terrible. It was not easy getting a reliable burn.

By 2005, they were getting pretty good. Usually I didn't have problems anymore.

Well actually, you could probably put it in a recursive loop to get it through to the end. I could set up an AWS Lambda function to get it done, shouldn't cost much.

There's a solution to this problem, alluded to in your sig.

LLMs are like violence. If they don't solve the problem, use more. Simply tell the LLM to check which bug reports are false positives.

As long as that is not the only tool they are using, it seems fine.

When it comes to hacking, these AIs are like really, really advanced/amazing fuzzers.

*shrug* It was bad enough that the top CD burning software for Linux was called cdparanoia.

Burned CDs aren't really reliable. USB flash drives were really a step up.

Either way, I think we can agree that making the minimum payment on a student loan is a bad idea.

Student loan interest rates are usually less than 10%, much much better than credit card debt.

Never make the minimum payment and you should be ok. Whether or not it's a good financial decision depends on the expected income from your job after work. You can't make the decision based on loan amount solely, you must also look at expected salary.
