My turn, starve or poisoned?

In a dentist waiting room I read an article on the best non-proprietary replacement bags for the Henry hoover.

The YouTube thumb has the title written like it is their nicknames.

Sphynx cats trigger it and you get an unwarranted alert that Google is very disappointed.

And the nimmins are replaced by addabs.

Legislative.

Microsoft is Yahooing Windows bandy.

I am not an American, your own prejudice seems to be showing. But of course you overlook that.

They have a weakness for the sneak attack.

It’s time to play the music It’s time to light the lights It’s time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight

I would give them a miss, you can probably make up better extrapolations in your head and there is so much else to read.

No corporation wants unaided capitalism, that is way too even a playing field, that is virtually socialism. They want capitalism with quiet government aid but its not communism.

Google did not just switch emphasis to shorts to compete with tiktok but also for reasons of space. Prior to the switch access to modern camera technology was beginning to allow very large numbers of users to upload ten minutes of 2160p content that was around 5GB a time. This was clearly a storage problem and Google had to shift those people toward choosing to make much smaller uploads.

The base principle you outline is applicable to most of life, even when washing your knickers most people know to separate the whites from the coloureds. That sounds a bit racist, maybe a better metaphor is when you make cheese you must remove the pure curd from the inferior whey to prevent contamination of the master substance. It went a bit Nazi that time, maybe stratification based on imposed intellectual criteria always goes a bit to the right.

What would be the point of gifted US schools.

True, but if it is not known what thinking is then it is hard to be sure AI models are not doing it.

I largely agree with what you said, the problem is phrases like ‘simulate hypothetical events’ and ‘applying this mechanism’ are just other ways of saying thinking and do not pin down what thinking is. I know it is not understood what thinking is so I cannot expect you to solve it on Lemmy. I do think it is the manipulation and re-weighting of memory and did therefore feel the original statement that AI models have good memory but poorer ability to think was a little tautologous.

The success of LLM in mimicking human communication makes me wonder if they have unintentionally solved what thinking is and that the human mind is probabilistic. Our minds might decide upon the next event by experience of what successfully followed in similar previously observed situations. This probability work all being run in the subconscious mind, the answer then being passed to the conscious mind which congratulates itself on thinking it out. Similar systems work for picking up a cup, my conscious mind decides I want to pick up a cup but it is the subconscious mind that does all the hard labour of sending appropriate signals to the muscles in my arm. As with reasoning this could have been learned by the subconscious probabilistically. In infancy sending out many signals and seeing which reached for the cup.

But my point is thinking is all smoke and mirrors, its really just an active memory.

I think this distinction is imagined, thinking is largely just a reorganisation and reinterpretation of memory.

Has it got a powerful AI model, it should let people use that then rather than the dreadful one it hawks now.
