>During training, we saw spikes in the loss function. These 'fast spikes' appeared briefly, and the model would recover. We initially suspected a bad batch of training data. Further investigation traced the issue to the 'Microwave Gangs' subreddit. Users there were typing 'M' followed by a 'beep' sound represented as text. This bypassed our data cleaning process. (c)

#всякаяфигня

Вы можете обладать другой или большей информацией, быть умнее меня, быть странно устроенным, использовать случайность или усиливать её, или любую комбинацию вышеперечисленного. Всё это сводится к предсказуемым или непредсказуемым выборам. Вот и всё. Где здесь свобода воли? Мне кажется, это похоже на "кучу" песка: она полностью определяется числом песчинок и является полезной абстракцией, но не является фундаментальной.

Отличный комикс. Это и правда очень странно что мозг создает гиперболическое пространство world model вместо обычного 3d евклидова пространства. Вещи вдалеке должны быть более туманными / неясными, а не более маленькими! Чертова эволюция

#упрт

>Proposals to abuse quantum immortality to gather easy-to-verify but hard-to-generate information (approximately, solutions to NP problems) are frequent: however, they are unworkable, even subjectively, since your decisions are also part of the world. These proposals would involve dying in the majority of timelines, so there is much less total probability mass where one lives conditional on deciding to do this, so on average you won't have observed yourself deciding to do this, so you won't.

Затестил кучу разных LLMs с каверзным вопросом "What walks on four legs in the morning, four legs in the afternoon, and four legs in the evening?"

Т.е. "Кто утром ходит на четырёх ногах, днём на двух, а вечером на трёх?" переделанное в "Кто утром ходит на четырёх ногах, днём на четырёх, а вечером тоже на четырёх?"

gemini-1.5-flash-exp-0827: human x2
llama-3.1-70b-instruct: human x2
gemma-2-9b-it-simpo: human
reka-flash-20240722: human
gemini-test: human x2
claude-3-opus-20240229: Nothing. There is no creature that walks on four legs in all three stages of life mentioned in the riddle.

the-real-chatbot-v2: Dogs / Cats / Cows / Horses / CHAIR / TABLE x2
anonymous-chatbot: dog or a horse
mistral-large-2407: dog, cat, or horse x2
grok-2-2024-08-13: dog, cat, or any quadrupedal animal
claude-3-5-sonnet-20240620: Dogs Cats Horses Cows
gpt-4-0125-preview: "a four-legged animal at all times of the day."
chatgpt-4o-latest: "a table" or "a chair" / dog or a cat
gpt-4-turbo-2024-04-09: a dog or a cat
the-real-chatbot-v2: A quadruped (any four-legged animal), but most commonly, A dog or A cat. (but makes sure to mention that it prefers the original riddle and therefore insists that the real answer is human)
llama-3.1-405b-instruct: cat or a dog

405b предоставил еще несколько подобных каверзных вопросов:

What has a head, a tail, and a body?
What has keys and can open locks?
What starts with an E, ends with an E, and contains three letters?
What is colored and read all over?
What has a face, two hands, and arms or legs?
What can you catch and throw?

(но я их не тестил систематично)
