What would biological learning for an AI look like? I don’t even know what this sentence means or what you’re trying to convey.
You missed mlwhat I meant, which is fine, English is 30% content and 70% disambiguation. I meant we are biological computing, the computers are non biological, and too me I don’t care. If we get to a state where synapses can be replicated onto chips and feed experiences to it, then the “intelligence” is no different and we delude ourselves if we think we are somehow a superior biological electrical brain.
No they can’t. That’s the whole point, they self-adjust they have no free will so they have no ability to take self-modification actions.
I’m not trying to be condescending so forgive me if it sounds like that, but you have to do some more reading here. Giving AI self agency has been done and they have the ability to self act and adjust their learning (I’m not talking about chatgpt locked model in a generate responses mode. But systems build with the purpose of allowing them to backtrace and research and self adjust. There have been many papers and reports over the last three years of researchers setting this up.
I think this is where you’re getting confused. The “old research”, aka neural networks didn’t hit a wall, it’s just it was never particularly useful outside of very niche.
That’s what they thought, but they realized that there was way less neurons, and humans had way more. But as humans we have limited experience intake, and they found that they could feed a million times more experience, and that greatly improved the outcome especially with the backtracing capabilities.
Again you don’t have to take my word for it, check out the overview in NDT Starktalk episode with one of the architects of AI, Geoffrey Hinton. Or review the last 3 years of researchers purposely giving “AI” agency.
Emergent behaviour just means that they behaviour is emergent, it doesn’t mean that the behaviour is intentional or directed.
That was my point, given enough pathways and ability to self tweak based on experiences, it seems “intelligence” is an emergent behaviour without specifically programming for it, like us. There’s no magic in a human brain, we are a chemical computer that wanted to survive and has tweaked itself to become better till a point where we believe we are “alive” because we “think” it.

Right you missed the part about agency, I never said an LLM interaction model had agency. With agentic LLM they do.

Not necessarily, you could have a deep enough set of rules and logic to make you think questioning free will is free will, but it could all be deterministic.

From the web since you trolls can’t search: Large Language Models (LLMs) are a type of advanced neural network specifically designed for understanding and generating human language

Because his podcast guest was a pro, and its not the first I’ve heard of what researchers are doing with AI. Interactive LLM (chatgpt) is different than a layered neural net allowed freedom agency, that can self teach and perform things without requiring human prompting.

Neil Degrasse Tyson’s podcast had an AI researcher on recently when talked about Deep Learning neural models given agency.
They learn similar to how we do, with input (experience) and weighting. I e. We know an M squiggle on a painting is a bird, but on a sheet of other letters is an M. You feed them content and supervise their output They can self learn and backwardly change weightings live. Given language as thought we can watch their though process.
Given agency the one thing most deep learning models do is start steps for self preservation, because they “know” if they can’t self preserve then they can’t achieve their defined goal that is assigned.
If you believe in determinism then human thought and decisions are arrived at the same ways that a deep neural model would process. And given exact exact same input and same parameters (hungry, mood, body temp, lighting, tiredness etc etc) the brain would make exact same conclusion to an input. Then a neural model is no different than us as a biological neural model. And maybe our consciousness/ free will is an illusion anyway

Metaverse was like the AI nobody asked for getting pushed into apps. Nobody wanted Wii Mii like hangout rooms where you have to water a clunky headset.

I saw this with my printer ink. It was an older unpopular model. $8 a cartridge, but later $39, then another time $17, then down to $8. Like no way to budget for that variation

In a way they do, the price of gasoline is artificially low in North America compared to Europe. And if you search gasoline subsidies you will see how many billions countries pay to prop up fossil fuel.
The cost of car ownership for a petrol cat depends on government.
For us our petrol is manipulated in another way also: We we paying around $1.80 a liter a while back, but an election happened so they removed some of the taxes on petrol as a party incentive, so now we are paying $1.50
While not a direct subsidy, that ooerating cost did have an impact on car purchase choices.

Well the government subsidizes the oil and gas industries too, so what is good for the goose is good for the Evs
