AIs need to be treated as humans, evaluated on their ability to do the job or assume a role in society

Richard K Collins All Global Open Devices, All knowledge, Assistive Technologies November 10, 2024

Many discussions about large language models (LLMs) and whether they can truly “reason” are, honestly, missing the point. Inspired by recent research like Physics of Language Models(https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.20311), which examines reasoning processes by constructing tasks with fewer https://pic.x.com/0ygRGPm3Py Replying to @limoquan in Large language models (LLMs) I saw a note about a group called “Large language

But I absolutely hate that you used a lossy format so I cannot study the pixels with deep algorithms I know and design. NONE of the colors will match the original. Because you let the bad jpeg algorithms chew up your raw sensor data and

DNA genealogy – global, open shared, lossless, efficient, fair and for all humans

Richard K Collins All Global Open Devices, All knowledge, All Languages, Assistive Technologies, DNA Genealogy, Efficiency Prizes November 8, 2024

I have whole sections of my DNA matches that are off by two generations. Everything is crowded into 3rd and 4th cousins and many of them make no sense. I have found that part of that is mistakes in trees that are propagating faster and with less and less review. Ancestry does not give sufficient
