The US Government has partnered with Valar Atomic to build a micro reactor (SMR?). It has been completed and shipped to a testing facility in Utah. It is expected to go critical this July. This is Valar Atomic's first reactor...

@SleipnirTheHorse It would be helpful if you could tell us what your goal is in learning programming.

Matt Shumer, CEO and cofounder of Otherside AI, wrote an essay on X a few days ago tryng to raise awareness of the progress of AI that has occurred in the last several months. It has had a surprising reaction of concern that he did not intend. He advises those who might be affected by AI to...

It doesn't produce the same response. If you ask a human a question at different times, they will answer differently, which may become more different as the time between questioning increases and the response lengthens. This excludes memorized statements. Humans make random decisions all the...

Not true, that is not always the time. LLMs have a parameter called Temperature, ranging from 0 to 2, with the most probable weight choices selected (deterministic) for 0 and becoming more random as the Temperature increases, which will lead, of course, to "hallucinations". In Chat mode, the...

LLMs are carrying on conversations with people who trustingly provide very personal information. I read that same? article. The AI was an open source agenic LLM now called Openclaw. The author of this model recomends to load the program on a virtual computer that does not have your files...

We see how current AI works, and say we are not like that. Why not? How do we know? Ideally, we should want a neutral entity to define intelligence, but it's up to us, so at least in the near term, we are extremely biased and will do our song and dance to keep AI where we want it. I...

Is there any way of measuring these things? To what extent can the average human exhibit all these characteristics? ISTM that LLMs can demonstrate these as well or better than the average human, considering it is artificial intelligence.

WRT poler Carnegie Mellon U has built two models that play poker, called Libratus (two-player no-limit Texas Hold'em) and Pluribus (six-player no-limit Texas Hold'em). Both beat professional human players. The self taught with game theory, their strategy included bluffing. These models are...

A paper just published in Nature says that AGI is here, but we don't want to admit it. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-00285-6 My personal view is that since we know how AI works ( We built it ), we believe it can not represent the way we think, even though that was the goal in...

For other readers, I said, "She cannot adequately describe this period in her life." This period refers to the time she lost her sight and hearing at the age of 19 months and here beginnig to learn language. Helen: " I cannot hope to describe adequately that unconscious, yet conscious time of...

Helen said: She only had an awareness of her emotions. Are we forgetting that we come into this world with some basic behaviors? Infants are not taught to nurse, recognize discomfort, or even walk. We come preprogrammed for certain functions, presumably having evolved for their survival...

From https://scentofdawn.blogspot.com/2011/07/before-soul-dawn-helen-keller-on-her.html?m=1 Before Her realizaion of the meaning of the palm writing four and a half years after losing her sight and hearing. Really?

I am falling behind with my responses, so bear with me as I try to catch up. No different from humans. I keep coming back to this. We copy and imitate because that is the way we are taught. We learn from others' behavior. We guess, often incorrectly, and pass it off as fact. We often fail to...

I brought up the point that consciousness may be an illusion. But ISTM that Freud might be right. Young humans often act on impulse without regard to consequences, which becomes less of a problem as they mature. So something is happening in the brain. Even if consciousness is an illusion, the...
