I don't care if kids see porn. They'll live.
Stop fucking with adults and blaming that goal.
"Take this man to the penis exploding chamber and have his penis exploded."
How 'bout I do anyway~?
A bit like getting Capone on taxes, but sure, why not.
Telling people they can't not work is generally labeled slavery.
the math of the simulation includes the math which defines the different substrate
2+2 on an emulated calculator gets a different answer than 2+2 on a real one, because there's different math. Math being physics in this case but not when it undercuts your whole point. Conscious experience must only be possible in this substrate, despite zero evidence to the contrary... and faking the entire substrate with physics math doesn't count because numbers work differently in rocks than in meat.

If telling you to shut up is redundant then good riddance.
The worst part of this is that Wookiepedia doesn't exist anymore. Fandom.com fucking ate it.
It's the configuration complexity clock.
You hardcode values in an established, full-featured programming language.
That gets annoying, so you push some into config files.
That's not powerful enough, so you let the config files include conditionals.
Soon your config files are more like scripts, but it's so easy to keep adding features...
And suddenly you're back to hardcoding, but in a newer, jankier programming language.
Energy efficiency has improved by orders of magnitude - leading to much higher energy use. It's the Jevons paradox and it's as old as coal-gas lighting. Last year some guy recreated GPT2 for twenty bucks. Corpus to model in one hour. OpenAI never said how much the original cost, but there was at least one comma.
But yeah, LLMs are fundamentally limited, because 'what's the next word' shouldn't work. The fact it's accidentally this flexible and powerful, even with its many infamous fuckups, is a reminder that neural networks in general will permanently alter computing. Models trained on supercomputers can run on any potato. Any problem with good examples can be addressed, without first being solved.
Punch the shake!
