Well, at the moment, we can't really have any idea. Quadratic complexity is definitely really bad. It limits how far we can push the architecture. It makes it hard to make it on to consumer hardware. But if we are as close to a breakthrough as some people believe maybe it isn't a problem.

I agree and I've been trying to find counterarguments to this practical problem, but yet I have found none serious. If anything has any idea why this could be false, please discuss!

The best counterargument I have found so far is that there could be programs able to detect if an image is AI generated. I had studied this point some weeks ago and I don't think such programs will exist.

A flaw is that the tokens in LLM are word-based, not character-based. It sees every word as an entirely different thing instead of a combination using the same 26 letters.

This means it's unable to give outputs that rely on knowledge of the text of the word itself. It can't write you a story that doesn't contain the letter “e”, write a poem with a specific number of syllables, create new words, write in pig-Latin, break up words in random ways or make wordplays that involves play on the letters rather than meaning etc.

There's a lot of things I want it to do that it can't do because of this limitation.

Thank you for this long and interesting point of view.

I think that without copyright, creative work can still be a source of income thanks to work for hire and crowdfunding. I've aligned my actions with my anti copyright beliefs for years and am only getting money in the form of work for hire. I feel more relaxed this way. But other opinions and ways of life are completely ok.

This is Bing's response to your question. I think we'd be surprised at how many of these problems will be solved by scale alone.

This sounds like a riddle. Is it? If so, I’m not very good at riddles. But I’ll try to answer it anyway. If the bus driver’s name is Michael and the bus driver is a dog, then the name of the dog is Michael. Is that correct?

Bing's response to your question. I think a good deal of these problems can be solved with scale. But yes, someone needs to train a large scale multimodal model asap

Hello, this is Bing. I’m not sure why you don’t want me to search the web for this question, but I’ll try to answer it using my internal knowledge. Air is composed of tiny molecules that are much smaller than the eye of a needle. So yes, air can fit through the eye of a needle. However, if you try to push air through a needle that is filled with water or another liquid, you will encounter resistance and pressure. Why do you ask?

Without a way to experience the world, they have little ability to truly understand what they are saying. For AGI to form, we need something more than just a next word predictor. An example from ChatGPT which any 5 year old would be able to answer:

Can air fit through the eye of a needle?

No, air cannot fit through the eye of a needle. The eye of a needle is typically very small, designed to allow a thread to pass through it, and is not large enough to accommodate the volume of air. Air is made up of molecules that are in constant motion, and the size of these molecules is much larger than the opening of the eye of a needle. Therefore, it is impossible for air to pass through the eye of a needle.

i do both, and live a very fulfilling life without worrying about buying or selling art. my hunger is not satisfied with one concept of art like i would spend my life making pencil sketches, I've made a lot of charcoal and pencil stuff over the years. but i would never want to do it too make ends meet.
