Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Why is that a criticism? This is how it works for humans too: we study, we learn the stuff, and then try to recall it during tests. We've been trained on the data too, for neither a human nor an ai would be able to do well on the test without learning it first.
This is part of what makes ai so "scary" that it can basically know so much.
Dont anthropomorphise. There is quite the difference between a human and an advanced lookuptable.
Well... I do agree with you but human brains are basically big prediction engines that use lookup tables, experience, to navigate around life. Obviously a super simplification, and LLMs are nowhere near humans, but it is quite a step in the direction.
@phoenixz @Soyweiser "Let's redefine what it means to be human, so we can say the LLM is human" have you bumped your head?
Well, I don't think humans are turing computable, so I disagree with you there. Which should have been clear from my initial post.
Fun fact, what you just said about how humans are just computers is also part of dianetics. Amazing how it happened in 2 different cults.
oh my, you're such a confluence of bad takes (racist, transphobic, creepy and ignorant of the technical and biological topics you're pontificating about.)
I dug into their post history and god you’re fucking right

irl guffaw
Do you have any foundation for that model of human sentience, apart from feels?
inb4 "it's just, like, common sense, man"
LLMs know nothing. literally. they cannot.
Yeah but neither did Socrates
but he at least was smug about it

Because a machine that "forgets" stuff it reads seems rather useless... considering it was a multiple choice style exam and, as a machine, Chat GPT had the book entirely memorized, it should have scored perfect almost all the time.
I feel like this exposes a fundamental misunderstanding of how LLMs are trained.
They're auto complete machines. All they fundamentally do is match words together. If it was trained on the answers and still couldn't reproduce the correct word matches, it failed.
