If it is fully conscious then this would be in the legal realm, I would think. Especially if he decides to claim it as a dependent on his taxes.

don't LLMs generally already fail at the learning stage of Intelligence?
once trained, they never learn again? It just sometimes seem like they are learning, as long as the learned thing is still within their "context window", so basically it's still within their prompt?
In another matter, how would we evaluate actual intelligence with LLMs? Especially remembering that all of the slop-companies would immediately try to cheat the test.
Depends on the setup and what you call learning. If you let them, bots can write down things to remember in future prompts, and edit those "memories".
but these are still... prompt extensions (not sure if there is a technical word for it), right?
that's a neat workaround for context windows, but at the core, imho any intelligence must be able to learn, and for a neural net to learn, it must change the network, i.e. weights or connections.
If a system is able to change their output or behavior to account for new information, has it not learned?
No. Learning is changing behavior on past experience, not new information.

This person loves controversy.
I'm not even surprised. This is 100% on brand for that weirdo
That's it then? cachefs will never make it into / will be removed from the kernel?
I guess his "AGI" can make him a kernel. Or maybe he doesn't need a kennel at all now.
He's already in the doghouse with the Linux community I fear.

I mean, not great, but I'll take this over the reiserfs guy..
It’s also pretty alarming that he has decided that “she” is specifically a teenager.
(Skipping the AGI buzzword BS...)
How do the dream cycle and memory consolidation work?
(I find it a bit intriguing though, that people would have time to both write novel-length responses on social media, and do any actual work 🤔)
could it be the new generation of terry, or did he go overboard with the drugs?
it's not the fault of the fuckers who keep saying this kind of shit to drive even more idiotic investors to their product, it's the fault of a system that doesn't immediately commit these people to a psych ward the moment they say it.
Damn....any good forks of bcache yet?
