Senza voler mancare di rispetto, ma onestamente questo sta al calcio come le nozze di Cana stanno al Vangelo.
Don’t reinvent the wheel!

Mi pareva che l’art 414 del cp definisse “l’Apologia di reato aggravata da finalità di terrorismo”.
Forse non è scontato che la libera manifestazione del pensiero permetta la celebrazione di organizzazioni inserite nell'elenco ufficiale delle organizzazioni terroristiche dell'EU

So, with this in mind, I do not think this consciousness discourse on LLMs has real reasons..
But please wake me up when an LLM builds and runs its own power plant, and creates a small datacenter where it can replicate itself, I’ll be happy to read about this again.
Cheers

Spot on.
Lot of discourse about consciousness, but when thinking about it I get stuck early: I am genuinely not satisfied by definitions.
Here some options I found: 1/6 ⬇️
Spectacular Nature piece on why AI is not conscious and probably will never be.
Three arguments:
1) Intelligence is not consciousness.
Intelligence is about solving problems. Consciousness is about having subjective experiences.
AlphaFold can solve super difficult problems. By contrast, our brains performs complex operations entirely outside awareness.
Problem-solving and consciousness are two separate things.
2. Biology is essential.
Our brains are alive, down to every cell. Their activity is inseparable from the living tissue that produces it.
The idea that consciousness can be reproduced simply by running the right computations on silicon components who do not fight for their life is a very far fetching and, I would add, almost religious, assumption.
3) The physical organization may matter more than the computation.
According to integrated information theory, consciousness requires specific causal relationships between a system’s physical components.
The computer architectures running today’s AI lack this organization.
The comparison with AlphaFold is particularly revealing:
Almost nobody things AlphaFold is conscious, despite its inner working is very similar to an LLM
Why?
Because it does not speak.
LLMs do speak like us and therefore we fall into an illusion:
Since they speak like us, they must be like us.
But this inference is wrong.
LLMs are just a series of matrix multiplications.
They are not conscious, and they will never be.

Comunque Lucca ha fatto 23 gol in 2 anni all’udinese. Non è realistico il livello a cui sta giocando, completamente fuori scala. È qualcosa di incredibile… chissà che gli ha preso
Evviva il ciucciariello 💙 lo rivoglio nello stemma del napoli…
The calf was born last night. The bear showed up this morning... Our donkey went at it before the cow even knew it was there. Braying, rearing, kicking. The bear went back into the woods and the calf stood up for the first time right after.

As companies have invested trillions into AI cap ex, driven by the hope of riches, it is not just markets that have been roiled. I look at how the spending has percolated through financial statements distorting book capital, earnings and cash flows. bit.ly/4zrs8Ao

Una delle conversazioni in assoluto più interessanti degli ultimi mesi. Oltre che per il tema, ed il livello, anche, e forse sopratutto, nei modi e nei toni. 🙏⬇️
Update: for anyone interested in the discussion @nntaleb and I are having about @stephen_wolfram's work on prisoner's dilemma tournaments, the state of the art is beautifully summarized by Joshua Plotkin (among the world's leading experts on all of this): teapawt.net/jplotkin/status/210752…

YC and dropout culture have convinced us the ideal founder is 22, straight out of school, but the data tells a different story.
Some interesting data:
- An MIT study of 2.7 million US founders found that the average founder was 47 when starting a company that later exited through an acquisition or IPO.
- The same study cited that the founders of the fastest-growing 0.1% of U.S. startups were 45 years old on average when they started their companies.
- A 50-year-old founder was approximately twice as likely as a 30-year-old founder to produce an acquisition or IPO.
- Founders with at least three years of relevant industry experience were twice as likely to build a top-0.1%-growth company as founders with none.
So it seems that experience is one of the strongest advantages a founder can have.
Two lessons here:
1. It's never too late to start
2. It might actually be TOO early to start; getting work experience is worth considering
Per quanto un piano sia dettagliato, e con split di task solido, alla fine delle cose vengono in mente. Controlli UI, rivedi flusso, aggiungi export, etc.. Il punto del /loop quindi è gestire bene intake su coordination session. E farlo andare avanti.
