We've said they're Ukrainian in several places. We avoided being explicit about it for the initial announcement to focus on getting help. We avoided specifying it to avoid our post being perceived as a political statement against Ukraine or attracting a bunch of negative attention. We only got targeted with an insignificant amount of additional attacks due to this announcement because of how it was worded. It's fine to simply say it's Ukraine now instead of only heavily implying it.
Oh, that's exactly where I think, and think, and think in spirals. I suppose I am at my 10 hours of phone screentime per day just not to fall in this dark thoughts spiral.
When we think of 'puzzles' in the most concrete way we think of problems that are challenging but ultimately designed to be solved in a satisfactory way.
But many problems that we want to solve aren't necessarily fair to the problem solver. They can have multiple possible solutions, only half solutions or no feasible solution at all. Some of the solutions could be obvious, some of them hidden to a degree that you may never find them. And when you find something that could perhaps be construed as a solution there's no guarantee that the solution tells you it's a good solution - or if there are better solutions hiding behind the next hill. And some problems will seem very easy to some other person but insurmountable to you. And you might never even get a satisfactory explanation to why that is.
For those problems we need to either learn to accept that the solution process never really ends and/or learn to accept and settle for a fundamentally unsatisfactory partial solution. You might one day wake up and feel that the problem is actually solved or doesn't bother you that much anymore but there's no reason to bet on that. Better to bet on acceptance. That way the process and the problem can possibly settle in our mind regardless of outcome.
Such acceptance is not easy. It can only come with practice, and by also accepting that punishing oneself for being human does not make anyone happier.
The squeeze of later stage capitalism: growth disappears as investment gains. Capital is redistributed from the less/non-capital owners to the owners. Any company not willing to push to get competitive ROI will not receive competitive investment. As an investor, why chase x% when x+1% alternatives exist?
That implies that people who aren't empathetic and/or caring aren't human, which I guess could be argued too, but feels too simplistic.
> Which the LLMs will never be
I'd argue LLMs will never be anything, they're giving you the text you're asking for, nothing more and nothing less. You don't tell them "to be" empathic and caring? Well, they're not gonna appear like that then, but if you do tell them, they'll do their best to emulate that.
A robot could certainly be programmed to get food for a sick, dying friend (I mean, don't drones deliver Uber Eats?) but it will never understand why, or have a phenomenal experience of the act, or have a mental state of performing the act, or have the biological brain state of performing the act, or etc. etc.
Perhaps when we deliver food to our sick friend we subconsciously feel an "atta boy" from our parents who perhaps "trained" us in how to be kind when we were young selfish things.
Obviously if that's all it is we could of course "reinforce" this in AI.
Exactly. Artistic and aesthetic values are distinct concepts.
That Mona Lisa replica in your living room has the same aesthetic value than the original, as it is a perfect copy, but vastly inferior artistic value.
I like the subscription concept here - monthly donations, set to stop the moment Ukraine wins. Because they need our help continuously, not just after a particularly bloody episode makes the news.
It's ran by ziedot.lv - the organisation that handles most of charitable donations in Latvia.
Glad you shared, I was wondering about the same. Many of my donations are going to support various drone campaigns from Estonia in support of Ukraine https://www.help99.co/patches
Taking into account the output usually has the structure of being an expert output (probably because of its correctness language-wise and from a formal standpoint), I propose "bullshitting".
