Comment on Big Walk Used AI In 'The Final Stretch' Of Development, Kicking Off Intense Awards Debate

this sounds like they used it as a search engine rather than as an assistant. it’s one of those weird gray areas that come up with how integrated it is now. like, if you try to find something with a search engine and you get the “ai result” thing, is that “ai use”? the tokens were used anyway, and you read it even if you then click a link.

Sometimes it’s so funny to see you all type “well it’s a grey area” and then stretch it this way and that. But ofc, Gregory, all other areas of life are black or white, that you haven’t learned about yet, if course, thanks for the deep wisdom!

  it’s a compression algorithm, my guy. we don’t know how 7z picks the numbers it does for its tables either, but we damn well know why.

    No, it’s absolutely not a compression algorithm.

    it certainly works on the same principles.

  This is riddled with logical fallacies and none of these arguments hold. You should be ashamed.

  Everyone keeps trying to mansplain the process or the architecture, or algorithms involved
  
  Because you’re making assumptions about how it works and those assumptions are wrong. I’m sorry if you find that offensive but you need to be educated before you can make an informed decision you seem to be unhappy with this.
  
  Coding with agents if you were a programmer before is a harrowing but also empowering
  
  So you do know how to code, which makes your prayer in conjunctuality of the process kind of hard to comprehend.

    No, I am telling you that my understanding and that of the researchers is that we have a black box we are trying to understand. We mimiced nature and found something but don’t fully know what is going on inside. Anyone that says they do, are lying. You cannot look at “the code” for the transformer or any process and understand why the weights produce text that solves problems. It is idiotic to pretend you understand without understanding how the technology functions at all
