and it probably was harmless fooling around for him, but that changed quickly. from what i understood further is what was new about this vs CNNs is that they&#39;re letting the computer generate extremely broad, complicated state machines that those RNNs encode (because they&#39;re recurrent, maybe like applying a convolution over and over, or maybe a bit like cell automata or rewriting rules that you were interested in recently), kind of like running many many weird machine-learning-generated parsers in parallel on the input and updating its own state. and obviously they don&#39;t know how exactly these interconnected parsers/state machines make their decisions, because it&#39;s a non debuggable mess. and because of the low resolution/sampling issues, it&#39;s always noisy and gets more noisy the longer a conversation/context is and that is an unsolvable problem, so it will always make at least a little mess, but the kind of mess that will cause huge headaches down the line. <br/><br/>and they don&#39;t know how to make it &#34;smart&#34; without bootstrapping it from an enormous amount of internet garbage content. but the engineers of these things really have this big, unfulfilled desire to kind of find &#34;the core of smartness&#34; and getting rid of all this &#34;useless internet content memory&#34;, but they have no idea how to get there, nobody has figured out how human problem solving works or how it can be emulated, they&#39;re just LARPing it and it falls apart very quickly if you poke it the right way. and many many people fall for this LARP. because it can be quite convincing in this truman show kind of way, but to me in every experiment i did there were almost immediately moments like the scene where the studio lights fall from the sky. <br/><br/>also these people have a really big structuralist issue and/or some kind of biomechanical materialism issue, kind of like when you&#39;re heavily dissociating all the time and confuse the map with the territory, or when you think humans are just playing this big game of factorio and that that is the essence of life, a bit like &#34;the others&#34; in the show pluribus. or like these people would put the optimus robot as a driver in a tesla to &#34;solve traffic&#34;, instead of taking a step back and being like, maybe we need a little _less_ technology there. that&#39;s how i imagine the people running the LLM labs. 2026-01-11T21:50:05Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0wrl2exd3l9lwmmvmwxsx8apqexau660sqq3n8x9ns38w2azfmjgzyz24lfd7vk37pwe2l7e8asx04u2xawdqms0httxkjruaxy5ap9lkg3aa57m In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgt2nytq7qu8y0aem70uwlqpqre9f0xzj8sey5hr6q2sn77hf0qtgnqhvpx'>nevent1q…hvpx</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>amigaaaaa 2025-12-27T03:16:26Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswu6gkqvrv0f606ux58gc4zsgpnppdhlxpdu2aka7mq2r5jpmpuagzyz24lfd7vk37pwe2l7e8asx04u2xawdqms0httxkjruaxy5ap9lkge5uscd seasonal greetings from [@holo_memory](<a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@holo_memory">https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@holo_memory</a> ) and me! xoxo<br/> <img src="https://assets.merveilles.town/media_attachments/files/115/775/356/662/550/409/original/25257c74d9005b1e.jpg"> <br/> 2025-12-24T15:56:49Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9jg3cm4n6367uplth3m39k4pd6ks3xakzyxqdx6aapulh8dcw0eqzyz24lfd7vk37pwe2l7e8asx04u2xawdqms0httxkjruaxy5ap9lkg66famm recently i had the idea to make a very informal &#34;book club&#34;
