You are cloaking what seems to be an opinion of some kind (unclear what? Something about Sam Altman or maybe about copyright or maybe anti NYT lawsuit?) in obtuse math.
The conclusions you seem to draw are by no means conclusive and at best seem only vaguely related to the unclear moral, ethical or legal stance you seem to believe in.
Ben, honestly some of your comments are extremely abstruse to the point where people can't tell if you are serious or not. That's my take anyway (I don't have downvote power)
I think the contentious tone within the comment combined with the mathematical abstrusity makes it doubly difficult to determine whether the criticism stems from correcting proper high-level-math-other-people-don't-understand or just a personal axe to grind with... someone (openai? sam altman? gradient.ai? meta?).
To those who don't understand the math (or its implications/connections to the shared link here, especially since the link is sparse on details unless you know where to look), I could see how a reader would lean toward the latter and downvote without comment.
A sibling asked about the math, I gave some hopefully useful analogies. I’m happy to elaborate further on what a colossal waste of money the current mega autoencoders are and why this follows from some geometry and topology that’s table stakes in AI now.
“Jail Altman” is basically my sig now. And no one wonders why someone would be passionate about that. Not in good faith.
@dang there are the same number of points on me finally accusing big Azure IPv4 blocks of manipulating the site as there are downvotes on an argument south of preprint but north of what passes for AI math here.
This is by no means the worst example this month. You run the best moderation team on the Internet, but no one at OpenAI (including Fidji) will flat deny they’re doing it, and it’s just obvious.
I know you’re doing yeoman’s work like always. Have someone let @sama that at least one person is going to start making charts. Not here.
I’ve heard feedback in this thread that I’m being mathematically abstruse, and that I’m being controversial or inflammatory or something.
I’m paying attention, but we are talking about a giant neural network trained by my friends and former colleagues at FAIR based mostly out of FBNY where I used to go every day, so, I’ll contend there’s some math involved: this is a topic for people who make a serious priority out of it these days.
The controversial piece no one is coming right out and saying, I think it’s my “fuck @sama” refrain.
Though how something that’s a meme on YouTube channels about typescript is a bigger topic than finally giving Emmy Nother her props (if she’d been a man she’d be far more famous than e.g. Heisenberg) eludes me.
I’m saying that an iconic mathematician and physicist deprived of her rightful place in history had it right, and once crooks like “Fired for Fraud Repeatedly” Altman and Madame Su are out of the picture, we might re-learn what she taught us.
On reflection? Fuck you, you’re annoying, ignorant, and a shill if your comments are anything to go by.
Make a dissenting case or leave it the fuck alone. I’ve been pretty laid back about the OpenAI bot thing but I’m over it.
