Strange - I can't reproduce that. It's the wiki page for Simo Häyhä.
I think the latest understanding of the impacts from the calibre of nuclear weapons we have now is if anyone is nuked we are all fucked regardless of location but sadly that doesn't seem like enough of a deterrent :/
They did and I'm not against it in principle but it did read a bit like I understand this better than neuroscientists because its just like computer systems and my understanding from neuroscientists is that these sub systems they outline in papers are highly contested and more like how you would model their function rather than actually how they work.
The one thing they seem to say consistently is that the analogy to computer systems work is flawed and the brain works very differently but it's very far from anything I understand so take that with a pinch of salt.
- One person who has no background in neuroscience reckoning of how the brain works.
Yes its clear that the path of throwing more and more resource at LLMS to improve quality has been a lazy growth focused approach that we could do better if we actually try a design focussed approach.
For me though it comes back to the fact we are facing a polycrisis and most of our resource should be focused on looking for solutions to that and I'm not sure what problem* this technology solves yet alone what problem relating to the polycrisis.
*I realise what they are designed to solve is a capitalist problem. How can we avoid paying staff for service and creative type jobs to increase profit.
I agree but there's a lot of detail about what activities a lower energy society precludes and my point is that energy intensive "AI" (mostly thinking about LLMs rather than targets applications of ML) probably aren't part of it.
Yes that's fair. I guess my comment wasn't a direct response to yours other than it made me think this desire that all the difficult issues (like bias) just disappear if you remove all the humans from the process* is flawed and any anticapitalist society should really start from that understanding. One that understands that conflict will emerge and pro-social "convivial" systems and structures need to emerge to handle them.
*You are right to point out that the "AI" we are talking about is statistical models built from humans that includes bias where as the hype is that we have Data from Star Trek and therefore these systems hide the human inputs but don't remove them.
Oh then I was being dense. I actually use kg because I'm of a generation that was only taught that and have no internal conception of stones :(
