They're a part of our cultural heritage now. If four years of the Confederacy is enough to count it as "heritage" , then logically 7 years of Locos Tacos counts too.

Exactly. If Rome wasn't supposed to salt the earth at Carthage, then why was their earth so saltable?

I don't not use Arch, by the way

Yoy should come join the tautology club. Just remember these three rules:

  1. The first rule of tautology club is the first rule of tautology club
  2. The second rule of tautology club is not the first rule of tautology club
  3. If this is your first night at tautology club, you haven't been here before

My favorite thing about tautologies is how tautological they are.

Better than creating this culinary atrocity in real life.

I've been on the internet for over 25 years and I've never seen a meme community that didn't beat memes to death. If moth memes are enough to annoy you, you'd have an aneurysm from "you're the man now dog" memes in the early 00s.

Perfect companion to somebody with resting bitch face.

What about AIHNPtPaNVaB (Assigned I have no plans to purchase a new vehicle at birth)?

I agree, but I'm not sure it matters when it comes to the big questions, like "what separates us from the LLMs?" Answering that basically amounts to answering "what does it mean to be human?", which has been stumping philosophers for millennia.

It's true that artificial neurons are significant different than biological ones, but are biological neurons what make us human? I'd argue no. Animals have neurons, so are they human? Also, if we ever did create a brain simulation that perfectly replicated someone's brain down to the cellular level, and that simulation behaved exactly like the original, I would characterize that as a human.

It's also true LLMs can't learn, but there are plenty of people with anterograde amnesia that can't either.

This feels similar to the debates about what separates us from other animal species. It used to be thought that humans were qualitatively different than other species by virtue of our use of tools, language, and culture. Then it was discovered that plenty of other animals use tools, have language, and something resembling a culture. These discoveries were ridiculed by many throughout the 20th century, even by scientists, because they wanted to keep believing humans are special in some qualitative way. I see the same thing happening with LLMs.

 

From the conclusion:

NAT may be a good short term solution to the address depletion and scaling problems. This is because it requires very few changes and can be installed incrementally. NAT has several negative characteristics that make it inappropriate as a long term solution, and may make it inappropriate even as a short term solution. Only implementation and experimentation will determine its appropriateness.
