    but i didn’t notice anything specifically transphobic about it.

    It might not sound transphobic to the uneducated, but many points she peddled in that video (esp. the Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria stuff) and used by transphobic groups to discredit trans people. And the fact she is trying to discreetly legitimize transphobic dog-whistles should be a huge red flag.

    There is a very good video (not related to Sabine) that explains all this stuff:

    Be warned, it’s 5 hours long. (Yes, there is a lot to explain, and there is a lot of bad stuff there.)

    Leaving aside the questions whether it would benefit us, what makes you think LLM won’t bring about technical singularity? Because, you know, the word LLM doesn’t mean that much… It just means it’s a model, that is “large” (currently taken to mean many parameters), and is capable of processing languages.

    Don’t you think whatever that will bring about the singularity, will at the very least understand human languages?

    So can you clarify, what is it that you think won’t become AGI? Is it transformer? Is it any models that trained in the way we train llms today?

    Well, you described pretty well what llms were trained to do. But from there you can’t derive how they are doing it. Maybe they don’t have real knowledge, or maybe they do. Right now literally no one can definitively claim one way or the other, not even top of the field ML researchers. (They may have opinions though)

    I think it’s perfectly justified to hate AI, but it’s better to have a less biased view of what it is.

    I don’t know about you, but the title gave me the impression that the government is throwing their hands in the air and are like “there’s nothing we can do, maybe you can delete some emails and save data centers some water.” But the press release is about all the work they have done, all the efforts they have put into alleviating the drought situation. “What you can do at home” is the last section, and deleting emails is literally the last line of the article (a little tongue in the cheek even). And yet that’s what 404 highlights?!

    Tell me they are not trying to generate outrage.
