@AnthropicAI I paid for a 3-month Claude Pro gift for my daughter. The code has never worked — she gets "gift code not found" every time. Invoice #9BF0758D-798. Your support AI loops me into canceling MY subscription, but I just want a refund for the gift. Need for human help.
@vaillantgroup Your after-sales service in Belgium is completely faulty. I've been trying to get my boiler repaired for 3 months. You don't communicate and you never apologize. What's going on with you?
* Language is low bandwidth: less than 12 bytes/second. A person can read 270 words/minutes, or 4.5 words/second, which is 12 bytes/s (assuming 2 bytes per token and 0.75 words per token). A modern LLM is typically trained with 1x10^13 two-byte tokens, which is 2x10^13 bytes. This would take about 100,000 years for a person to read (at 12 hours a day).
* Vision is much higher bandwidth: about 20MB/s. Each of the two optical nerves has 1 million nerve fibers, each carrying about 10 bytes per second. A 4 year-old child has been awake a total 16,000 hours, which translates into 1x10^15 bytes.
In other words:
- The data bandwidth of visual perception is roughly 16 million times higher than the data bandwidth of written (or spoken) language.
- In a mere 4 years, a child has seen 50 times more data than the biggest LLMs trained on all the text publicly available on the internet.
This tells us three things:
1. Yes, text is redundant, and visual signals in the optical nerves are even more redundant (despite being 100x compressed versions of the photoreceptor outputs in the retina). But redundancy in data is *precisely* what we need for Self-Supervised Learning to capture the structure of the data. The more redundancy, the better for SSL.
2. Most of human knowledge (and almost all of animal knowledge) comes from our sensory experience of the physical world. Language is the icing on the cake. We need the cake to support the icing.
3. There is *absolutely no way in hell* we will ever reach human-level AI without getting machines to learn from high-bandwidth sensory inputs, such as vision.
Yes, humans can get smart without vision, even pretty smart without vision and audition. But not without touch. Touch is pretty high bandwidth, too.
Juin 2023 est un ovni statistique à l'échelle du monde :
➡️de loin le + chaud.
➡️de loin la plus importante anomalie thermique marine mondiale & Nord-Atlantique.
➡️de loin, l'écart de la banquise antarctique la + basse.
C'est dingue. Toutes les courbes partent en cacahuète 👇.
No one is talking about how amazing Photoshop's generative AI is going to be for science. A simple "improve correlation" prompt and say goodbye to p > 0.05!
@SNCFVoyageurs@thalys_en@SNCFConnect Il n'y a pas eu un seul train prit en gare de Bruxelles Midi qui ne soit pas en retard. Correspondance à Lille très incertaine.
@SNCFVoyageurs@thalys_en@SNCFConnect@SNCFVoyageurs
TGV 9835
Pas de numéro de voitures lorsque le train arrive finalement. Ça ne rend pas l'embarquement plus fluide et rapide alors qu'il faudrait essayer de rattraper le retard. Vous devriez aller demander des conseils en Suisse.
@salaunorama@Thom_astro Pourquoi croyez vous en cette vidéo de Kubrick ou de l'autre astronaute et pas aux documents montrant des humains sur la Lune ? Cela semble être une question de foi alors qu'il suffit de se documenter.
