SkyNTP, to science in ChatGPT generates fake data set to support scientific hypothesis

LLM’s are basically just really good bullshit generators (telling you what you want to hear).

Turns out that’s part of the job description of tech support agents, and some low brow art.

For all the other jobs people claimed AI could replace, bullshitting is antithetical to the job description

*The world 3 months ago:*AI is growing exponentially and might take over the world soon. It can do everything you can, but better, and some even seem almost centient.

*The world today:*Turns out the large language model made to fool us tried to fool us by ‘unexpectedly’ exhibiting behavior it was made for.

ColeSloth, to science in Your brain finds it easy to size up four objects but not five — here’s why

Well which neurons immediately decide to shove it off to the 4 or less neurons or the 5 or more neurons? Because they must be the ones running the show.

Talking out of my ass here but I guess the initial information from the eyes goes to many pathways and reaches both and more. It's just a question of which ones react.

Fun fact: there's a name for the phenomenon of instantly recognizing the number of objects when it's fewer than five. It's called "subitizing."

There's a pretty interesting overview of what we know about math on the brain (or at least knew as of its writing) in the book "Where Mathematics Comes From" by Lakoff and Nuñez.

I mean, from my understanding of Japanese, this makes sense. There's certain humor and puns that exist due to the usage of Kanji and its meaning (that typically get lost in translation).

Makes sense. I live in Colombia and sometimes I have to look up a word in a dictionary or online translator if I don’t know the word in Spanish. Problem is Spanish is not one language. Some words mean very different things depending on which country you’re in and most dictionaries only give you the meaning from Spain. This can be a bit of a problem when you run into issues like the word “coger”. Here in Colombia it means “to grab or hold”. Most of the rest of the Spanish speaking world it means “to fuck”.

So yeah, we’re better off with multiple LLMs since bias sucks.

Note that in Spain "coger" also means "to grab or hold" just like in Colombia. So most dictionaries are likely to use that.

But you are completely right.
I mean, "una polla" in Spain would be "a penis"... but everywhere else it means either "a female chicken" or, in some places, "a girlfriend". In others it means "a bet", and I think in Mexico it's the name of an egg-based drink.

Boy, those Japanese! They have a different word for everything.
