“ChatGPT is smart!”

Please don’t reproduce.

Nice theory, but that is not how LLMs work.

At all!

“I must persist!”

There is no “I” - do you actually believe your little AI chat bot is alive? lol

Wrong - plenty of 5G here

At this point you were given a working demo

and a link to source models where they were made

You can click them to see the wireframes!

19k rep - you seem like a smart guy! If you can’t figure it out maybe you can ask your $200/mo LLM

No it isn’t. Nobody said you had to equate “intelligence” with “value of work” and you got it wrong:

I said it’s impossible to define that value, not intelligence. I’ve seen a dozen or so useful definitions of intelligence.

Degenerative models

So vague it’s useless.

We cannot in a declarative sense define what is economically valuable work even now let alone into the future.

People take what they can get for pay. Very few individuals can demand a wage. The value of employment is obviously designed around that, not some arbitrary definition of “valuable”.

Of course an AI will accept $0/hr, it doesn’t mean it does the job.

Anyone who could accurately define the value of work would be wildly successful without having to try.

That is not a useful definition for me unfortunately.

Right, you are interested in “AGI” and presuming none of that requires consciousness right?

For example, how do you know that “feeling pain” is not a functional prerequisite for a task. And that consciousness is a prerequisite for feeling pain

So basically, being able to set it free on some long running goal and it sort of “lives” and autonomously does its own tasks?

I wonder at what point consciousness is necessary… that is, if you can have anything like that without it.

To the point that solving consciousness (and combining it with intelligence) is what gives you the autonomous, recursive, self-improving thing otherwise it can only drive in the dark and make big mistakes.

To your point I think - it’s why we don’t see too many non-conscious advanced biology (it rarely survives against those with it).

“AGI” never made sense to me. It’s a purely marketing term right?

I’ve ignored it thinking it would go away, but it keeps coming up.

I get that consciousness differs from intelligence and that our waking awareness of life is a complete mystery.

Knowledge and thus intelligence however I consider as actively being solved by these large ML models. That is, with the right combination of machinery and know-how, you’ll get it.

But you’d be no nearer to solving consciousness.

Given this thought trajectory - what is AGI supposed to be?

One way to have the biggest house on the block is make sure nobody else can build.

Why spend the money to build the bigger house when you don’t really enjoy it anyway - when your only motivation is that nobody else’s house is as big.

In other words, the Flat Birth Theory.

We can call them flat birthers

At my job interviews are essentially rejection practice. The debriefings are these cringe sessions where everyone pretends to be better than the candidate, makes fun of them for being old, for their attire, for how they talk, it’s so so bad. Like high school. This is a well known company in San Francisco!

Every single screen is a “No” even when I’ve strongly recommended the candidate. I don’t believe we are really hiring anyone.

I have 2-3 of these interviews per week, been that way since Day 1 at this job for several months now.

Idk if they do it to keep us worried or what but it’s very toxic.

Thought experiment was React vs Not React - welcome to it!

I don’t think anyone doubts C outperforms JavaScript.

Edit: instead of acknowledging his mistake, pjmlp downvoted my original after reading this comment. Haha! This site is so lame. The highest karma people on HN are nontechnical egomaniacs

Why would a regular React site be so huge?

Maybe they had bundled fonts and images.

The bundle is just the lib plus your files minified.

You want to bundle vs hitting dozens of requests just to get files.

It’s not like React/webpack is a black box doing things I don’t know or want.

Performance: I challenge you to build a complex 3D game in vanilla threejs vs using r3f. useFrame alone is worth it

They’ve gotten better. ~2 years ago the assets all had millions of polys and you couldn’t use them with raycasting or even loading the model without crashing the tab.

Tripo, Meshy, etc all have “smart low poly” now as a paid feature. It works.

It’s like those diet commercials from the 90s:

“I simply eat more and the weight just falls off!” Showing pictures of chocolate cake and burgers.

You’re gonna eat more: Milkshakes, pasta, French fries!

You’re gonna lose more weight.

And you’re gonna feel great.
