PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Help me understand indeterminism in standard quantum mechanics.But only if you force the exact same input state each time--which has to include the unobservable particle positions as well as the wave... -
PeterDonis reacted to Dale's post in the thread Graduate Can a causal or time-like structure emerge without assuming a metric? with
Like.
That is a good question. If you have a pseudo-Riemannian manifold and remove the metric then you are left with a topological manifold... -
PeterDonis replied to the thread Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts?.But the inputs to an LLM are never fully "set", because each prompt you give it is additional input.

In ordinary code when a bug arises it isn't because we cannot predict the behavior, it is because we did not predict the behavior. There...

PeterDonis replied to the thread Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts?.The discussions of hallucination that I have seen in the AI literature (of which I have not read very much so I might well be missing...

PeterDonis replied to the thread Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts?.Of course that's unrealistic--but then we humans can't even predict what specific bugs will be in code we wrote ourselves, with no LLMs...

PeterDonis replied to the thread Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts?.I don't think it's true that "hallucination" can't be predicted based on knowing how LLMs work. They hallucinate because by design they...

PeterDonis replied to the thread High School Rotating disc: tidal relativity across surface of disc.Correct, it is not.

PeterDonis reacted to Ibix's post in the thread High School Rotating disc: tidal relativity across surface of disc with Like.
I think you are confusing the time dilation and length contraction in special relativity with the curved spacetime of general...
-
From what I can tell, AI conferences spend very little time on Turing tests. It does not seem to be a metric of much importance to the...
-
Sorry, I don’t think you are being consistent here. You were complaining about other people moving the goalposts and now you are doing...
-
If you have to alter the test in order for the AI to pass then is that not moving the goal? The very thing that you were complaining...

PeterDonis replied to the thread Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts?.I find this observation entirely plausible. However, I would interpret it not as evidence of intelligence on the part of ChatGPT, but of...

PeterDonis replied to the thread Undergrad Extreme Negative Polarization (peer reviewed Astrophysical Journal).If it is indeed such a thing, then it will need to be solved by the astronomical community. PF is not in the business of trying to solve...
