Reply to comment by Malachiian in Microsoft Suggests OpenAI and GPT-4 are early signs of AGI. by Malachiian
To people who work in computer science, it most explicitly does not. GPT4 is a LLM, not a general AI. You can make the biggest and bestest LLM imaginable, and it still won’t be a general AI. That simply isn’t the way a LLM works.

Reply to comment by ipauljr44 in TIL that Al Pacino boycotted the 45th academy awards in 1973, because despite having more screen time than Marlon Brando, he was nominated for best supporting actor and not best actor. by VengefulMight
Oh like boycotting the Academy Awards hurts someone. Pacino didn’t like what they did, so he didn’t go to a dumb awards show. That’s not a tantrum.

Reply to TIL the phrase “you can’t handle the truth” was created/ improvised by Jack Nicholson. The movie's original screenplay boasted the line "You already have the truth," which Nicholson trimmed to "You can't handle the truth." by SixedSigma
The movie is based on a play. In the play that character says “Because you can’t handle the truth.”

Sure, but also it seems pretty messed up to watch a movie that shows off a 16 year old girl’s boobs, doesn’t it?
I mean, if you have a nude picture of a 16 year old girl on your phone, that’s a crime. But we can go on watching this movie because it was made in the 60s and it’s Shakespeare? Doesn’t make sense.

Reply to TIL that one of the few positive health effects of smoking is a drastic reduction of a person's risk of thyroid cancer. According to a Korean study of the health records of over 10M people, smokers have a 36% lower risk of thyroid cancer. Smoking and heavy drinking reduces one's risk even more. by EncyclopediaJake
Is it because you die of other types of cancer before you have a chance to get thyroid cancer?

We did the offertory from Leonard Bernstein’s Mass when I was in marching band, which is in 3/8+3/4. Basically you’d do one slow step for the 3/8 measure, then three fast steps for the 3/4 measure. So it was a slow/fast/fast/fast pattern that still added up to 4 steps every 2 measures.

Time for lots of comments from Nickelback haters who have never actually listened to Nickelback and don’t know any of their songs
I’m not a Nickelback fan, but come on. They’re nowhere close to the worst band.

It’s a large language model. We know what it does, and we know that what it does isn’t general AI.
Here’s an interesting and insightful article that explains how it works in terms most people can understand: https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2023/02/what-is-chatgpt-doing-and-why-does-it-work/
I don’t share your views on this topic, but seriously it’s a very good article that explains a lot
