No the article is badly worded. Earlier models already have reasoning skills with some rudimentary CoT, but they leaned more heavily into it for this model.

My guess is they didn't train it on the 10 trillion words corpus (which is expensive and has diminishing returns) but rather a heavily curated RLHF dataset.

• it's not actually AI
• it's just fancy auto complete/ glorified Markov chains
• it can't reason it's just a pLagIaRisM MaChiNe

Now if I want to win the annoying Lemmy bingo I just need to shill extra hard for more restrictive copyright law!

Reasoning has nothing to do with knowledge though.

You should have asked chatgpt to explain the comment to you cause that's not what they say

And certainly not as spooky as spectrography

Arch Linux is a good alternative to Linux and is a good choice for most use cases where you can use it for a variety of tasks and and it is a good fit to Linux and Linux.

Yeah it always strikes me how religious extremism is framed. You rarely hear about christian extremists, who operate in the open on all social networks.

Yet, you could argue that Christian extremists have done more harm to western societies in the last 20 years than any Islamic group.

That's a nice hypothetical but the facts of this case are much simpler. Would you agree that a country is sovereign, and entitled to write its own laws? Would you agree that a company has to abide by a country's laws if it wants to operate there? Even an American company? Even if it is owned by a billionaire celebrity?

What is complicated about alchemy is that it's a tradition that is thousands of years old and it has so many layers it's hard to make sense of.

Originally you have metallic alchemy, a precursor to chemistry and metallurgy. An insanely valuable corpus of knowledge if you think about ancient times - good metallurgy made good armies which made empires. It was technology so advanced it might as well have been magic. The literature that has survived is very opaque by design, and hard to read because of cultural jetlag, but they are technical texts - tutorials and explainers for the various chemical and alloying operations that were known at the time.

utility outside of use as a metaphor : 10/10 if you're kind of done with Bronze and want to boost your kingdom into the Iron Age

Then around the Renaissance, when antique stuff started becoming hot again, those texts started buzzing and they were re-interpreted with a generous flavouring of Renaissance spirituality. That's pretty easy with antique technical texts because they are always written with a lot of religious and astrological terminology. It could be about plumbing and you'd still have Apollo fighting Hades as an allegory of you unclogging a pipe or whatever. So, to a modern mind it made sense to see them as spiritual guidebooks through the transformation and purification of the self. That's also when they started pumping the gas on the "philosophical stone" ideas of turning mercury into gold, becoming immortal etc... The technical aspects of the texts started fading in the background.

utility outside of use as a metaphor : 0/10 although you'll get some beautiful, evocative literature out of it. Some seriously trippy stuff if you're into that sort of things.

Then you have the 19th century onwards where it's a literal explosion of books and treatises and translations, and it gets even more divorced from the source material, as the academic work gets shoddier and shoddier. At this point the technical aspects are mostly lost on the readers because they make no sense in the context of early-industrial metallurgy and chemistry.

utility outside of use as a metaphor : 0/10, kind of new-agey to my taste. It has a lot of cultural relevance, though. Being well-read in early modern hermeticism is kind of the Rosetta stone of popular culture lol.

Also the one from their grandma cost 3 months wage at the time and they probably got it as their wedding gift. Totally comparable to 25$ worth of composite 👍

I love that on Lemmy, people will trip over themselves to misinterpret simple, unambiguous comments such as yours.
