@spinach @arina @devopscats I don't know why you feel the need to dunk, but I suspect it's because you've been trained to behave that way. I'd argue that the average human being experiences an Internet worth of data every few minutes. It's also in a social context which is constructed for us and evaluated by other people who are trained in the same context.

@quantumg @arina @devopscats you can't really measure sensory inputs in terms of data. the brain discards most of its sensory input, and it's not something you can represent in terms of a digital signal because everything is analog. the important takeaway is, humans are infinitely better at parsing language than a language model ever will be, for a fraction of the energy cost. full stop.

the power of the human mind is in its ability to discard irrelevant information. LLMs can't do that, period.

@spinach @arina @devopscats I don't think anyone on Earth is qualified to make the statements you're making right now.

@quantumg @arina @devopscats oh, so my argument is irrelevant because you haven't deemed me qualified? sorry Mr. Official Knowledge Certification Board. i know that truth and facts inconvenience you so. keep believing you can train the LLM out of its fundamental design issues and see how far it takes you.

@spinach @arina @devopscats again. You're dunking. Why are you like this? No-one knows enough about these systems or the human brain to be as certain as your statements indicate. I would say the same thing if you were talking in absolutes about cosmology. We just don't know yet.
