The article reminds me of the similarly ridiculous take in Effortless Mastery. These authors are selling your own hopium to you. The appropriate amount of effort is as much as possible - just don’t do it in such a dumb awkward way.
Picked up an Umbrel server to run Bitcoin Knots node last month. Works extremely well, I highly recommend it for similar applications. Nice web based UI.
I'm on a team like this currently. It's great when everyone knows how to use the tools and spot/kill slop and bad context. Generally speaking, good code gets merged and MUCH more quickly than in the past.
I guarantee that once we do know people will start appending the word “just” to the explanation. Complex behaviors emerge from simple components. Knowing that doesn’t make the emergence any more incredible.
The brain has intrinsic understanding of the world engraved in our DNA. We do not simply predict tokens based on knowledge, we base our thoughts on intelligence, emotions and knowledge. LLMs neither have intelligence nor emotions.
If your brain simply predicts tokens I feel sorry for you.
Edit: really does not surprise me that AI bros downvote this. Expecting to understand human values from people that want to make themselves obsolete was a mistake.
> The brain has intrinsic understanding of the world engraved in our DNA.
This is not correct. The DNA encodes learning mechanisms shaped by evolution. But there is no "Wikipedia" about the world in the DNA. The DNA is shaped by the process of evolution, and is not "filled" by seemingly random information.
LLMs are “concept based” too, if you can call statistical patterns that. In a multi-modal model the embeddings for text, image and audio exist in the same high-dimensional space.
We don’t seem to have any clue if this is how our brain works, yet.
They are hard to read.
