Not really. Chinese room has the conclusion pre-fabricated and tries to construct any sort of pseudo-scientific, fantastical philosophical dressing for some shred of legitimacy. It has absolutely no relation to the real world.

Neurons firing really synchronized = emotions lul

The only reasonable take in this thread is getting downvoted. Lemmy is so over.

The thing is, AI companies are terrified of model collapse because if they train AI systems on AI output, the model becomes useless.

That’s actually not a fact, more of a possibility. As far as am I aware, reinforcement learning from AI feedback (RLAIF) is currently employed by some of the most capable frontier AI companies; Anthropic openly admits to it, and their models are arguably the best.

A term that is often thrown around nowadays is recursive self-improvement (RSI), and it seems that there are at this time more knowledgeable proponents of RSI for intelligence development than opponents who raise the risk of model collapse.

But yes, training on today’s sloppified public internet would probably only have downsides.

Google is not at fault for search becoming so terrible. Everyone who engaged in SEO is. The internet would have sloppified much sooner if Google and other search engines had not relentlessly pushed back against SEO and continuously modified their algorithms. Lots of people definitely underestimate the extreme negative impact of SEO, and the lengths that search engine operators have to go to to have their service be at least somewhat useful. As soon as you have a search algorithm, people will attempt to manipulate it.

That is simply counter-factual. LLMs can absolutely do things that have not been published before, and they can access knowledge that is not in their training data through RAG. Intelligence is debatable, but reasoning models can reliably imitate “thinking” to a degree, and recursive self-improvement might lead to an autonomous advancement of intelligence. That LLMs allegedly “only regurgitate information” is simply wrong.

I’d hope that they will stick to non-retroactivity for new laws and rulings on AI, or else the world will have a giant mess on its hands. But I have the feeling that we’re moving towards an eventual, enduring weakening of copyright law, which is totally fine by me. Copyright has done more harm than good to the world (imo).

Calling for the murder of other people in a public forum is never wise. At best, you could (should) be permanently banned. At worst, police could show up at your house and lock you away forever (the world would be better place for it!).

I guess someone’s Wildberries delivery was cancelled 🤭

You lost all reasonable people at “acab’s”. No one will ever meaningfully rally behind your movement as long as you spread braindead takes like these. It’s poisonous for the left to be affiliated with you.
