I imagined the Chatsubo in 1984. 41 years later, I opened the door. Neuromancer is in production.

Com conviuran els guionistes amb les intel·ligències artificials? Veurem aviat sèries escrites amb IA?

@skmruiz Sólo si la capa de aplicación es 100% SOAP

[Sergio Alvarez @sergioalvarez]

@Fnac_ESP Podríais tener la decencia de avisar en la web de que un producto disponible en una tienda podría no estarlo porque vuestros propios empleados se lo reservan para si mismos. Así nos ahorramos el desplazamiento.

[Sergio Alvarez @sergioalvarez]

@elmonarac1 @XSalaimartin Per què doneu tant espai per parlar d’IA a algú que no és un expert ni té prou coneixements per tractar el tema?

[Sergio Alvarez @sergioalvarez]

@fogus @ulisescortes do you have info about this?

[Ulises Cortés @ulisescortes]

Why artificial intelligence needs to understand consequences https://t.co/PeYwdtnolh

Maybe time to stop and reflect. @OEIAC_UdG @kemlg_upc @hpai_bsc

@dariogargas Pun intended?

[Jon Uleis @MovingToTheSun]

My new favorite thing - Bing's new ChatGPT bot argues with a user, gaslights them about the current year being 2022, says their phone might have a virus, and says "You have not been a good user"

Why? Because the person asked where Avatar 2 is showing nearby

[Sergio Alvarez @sergioalvarez]

@EzraJNewman The general mechanism you describe in there would rather qualify as "state space search". Do you claim that next token prediction is equivalent to state space search (in the general definition of the term)? If so, what is your definition of "next token prediction"?

[Sergio Alvarez @sergioalvarez]

It’s hard to reach a more naive, reductionist and inaccurate interpretation of what reasoning is and how it works.

[Ezra Newman @EzraJNewman]

Almost all human reasoning is next token prediction. This is not a bit. I think this might be true.
