                Basically, when you give it a prompt, it starts to generate a text response. The response it gives is always nonsensical and rambling, and clearly what's happening is the code is just looking at the strings it was given and then looking at its training data and comparing these strings to the likelihood that they're correlated with the input string and then tries to put together a string of bits based on these correlations. It's not thinking at all its literally just putting together strings. It has no understanding of the strings.

                An actual intelligent agent in this universe is a physical system that can take in matter in some form (say, eating) and convert that matter into energy to perform work in the form of computatation and also convert those input molecules into a new set of output molecules. Think of a bumblebee eating pollen and turning it into energy for flight, new bumblebee eggs, honey, and energy to power its brain. It navigates the environment and morphs atoms and molecules into work and new molecules. It also has to do this on its own internal agency and not by being driven by a different agent (so for example, a car does not meet the criteria). No GPT system or any other learning system does this, nor does it seem like they could be modified to do so. In the future though we could build machines that might be able to do this but we have to drop the neural net shit and actually start working on actual intelligence

                Thank you for the thoughtful response. I think you’re hitting on something interesting, though I still disagree.

                >No GPT system or any other learning system does this, nor does it seem like they could be modified to do so.
                Indeed, the GPTs don’t exhibit the kind of agency we associate with living things. At most, they simulate a part of the human brain that is associated with language. I don’t think any serious proponent of the scaling hypothesis really believes that simply scaling up to GPT-n will lead to human-level intelligence. At least that’s not what I believe. The GPTs are merely showcases that for language tasks specifically, neural nets do better than any other artificial system and increasingly so with scale. But neural nets are general function approximators, meaning they can be used for anything. In fact, they are also used in reinforcement learning, where agents (really just deep neural networks) do show the kind of agency you ascribe to living beings and perform better with increasing scale and better than any non-neural agent.

                >The response it gives is always nonsensical and rambling
                That’s a gross exaggeration. The responses are often sensible and certainly economically useful (i.e., you can automate a bunch of processes now that we wouldn’t have dreamed of just five years ago).

                Living beings like us have evolved systems that do exactly this in order to stay alive and reproduce. What I think (and how I interpret the scaling hypothesis), is that because neural nets so strikingly outperform any other method in virtually any domain (vision, language, RL, etc.) and perform better with scale on any benchmark, that by decreasing energy requirements for computation we should be able to cobble together some architecture that combines these abilities into a single humongous architecture inside of a robot body and outperform any human. What that cobbled-together architecture looks like nobody yet knows, but given the evidence it seems undeniable that large neural nets can do most of the required work.

                Computers are inherently inferior to neurons and always will be. Random morons have more processing power in their brains than computers that weigh several tons and gargle megawatts of electricity. A brain consumes the equivalent of less than 50 watts and mogs any shitty silicon lump by sustaining an actual mind.

                all evidence indicates this. brains don't perform regressions and the neurons in your brain aren't computing strings of bits when they form new connections or fire etc. The total structure of your brain is like an 11 layer deep system of non linear partial differential equations that evolve according to the molecular dynamics of all the molecules in them etc.
                I don't understand why you all ALWAYS try to diminish the actual scope of the problem and the actual process of the brain. It's genuinely baffling. NO, homosexual, the brain is not just predicting the next bit of a string. It's a highly organized system of molecules that evolve in highly complex ways according to the non-linear partial differential equations of the constituent molecules. Every single molecular interaction and every single atom and atomic bond is required to produce your intelligence.

                It is not a weighted directed graph

                If I removed ~10% of, say, the nitrogen atoms in your brain, or any of the atoms in your brain, what do you think would happen?
                Neurons don't die on their own (unless they're killed) and are the same across your whole life. You can grow new ones via neurogenesis, but otherwise it's the exact same set of neurons with the exact same atoms (not even the same type of atom but literally the same atom itself, the oxygen atom in your neuron #162900492 in your brain is the exact same oxygen atom as it was 20 years ago etc)

                You were describing the brain on a molecular level, which doesn’t preclude that on a more abstract level it is in fact performing regression or predicting the next bit of a string. By your argument, a PC doesn’t contain folders, data, or even zeroes and ones, they’re just magnetic charges. And it isn’t “computing”, there are just moving electrons. In some way that’s true, but language is an agreement that we can describe such processes more briefly using abstract concepts, and if you start saying those abstract concepts don’t apply, that brains don’t “compute” or whatever, then you’re just not using language.

                Yes, language does not matter when it comes to how things actually are. Thats the point I'm making. "describing the process briefly" does not actually mean that the actual process is as simple as the simplified explanation nor does it mean that the underlying process can be ignored for the fake higher level abstraction.
                There is no such thing as 'computation' in this universe, anywhere. "computation" does. not. exist. What actually exists are atoms and molecules and physics, and their interactions and dynamics. WE HUMANS then abstract this very difficult and complex process to a higher level of interactions, which don't actually exist, in order to perform operations that we have pre-defined and agreed on to solve problems. i.e. we can take an abacus and say that the bead on the left represents a 0 and the right represents a 1, or we can take a coin and say the heads is a 1 and the tails is a 0, or we can take a transistor and say volts lower than 5mv are a 0 and that are a 10 are a 1, and we can perform the so called "computation" on all of these things. But this is only because WE have predefined and abstracted these things in order to perform the operations that WE made up and that only exist in our mind.

                In actual reality, there is no similarity whatsoever at all between an abacus, and a nickel coin, and a silicon transistor.

                A bumblebee is not doing any induction while it flies around performing it's behavior, and yet it is more intelligent than GPT3 or any other machine learning project etc

                Firstly, the bumblebee was constructed through evolution, which means “try whatever worked before with slight variations” (without guarantee that whatever worked before will still work next time). That’s induction. Whatever learning that the brain of the bumblebee does is similar: store information from the past to inform decisions about the future (without guarantee that the information from the past will still be relevant in that future). Also induction.

                The point is, it’s a mechanical process that can be reproduced in various substrates, including silicon.

                Nope. The bumblebee in its action is not performing induction to solve the problems it's doing.
                Also
                >The point is, it’s a mechanical process that can be reproduced in various substrates, including silicon.
                Nope, it's a molecular thing that only exists in biological substrates. It is not algorithmic. The bumblebee is not using induction and isn't following an algorithm, it's evolving according to it's molecular dynamics and finding flowers and shit based on the molecules of the pollen and the molecular dynamics of the interaction of the pollen with it's body and brain etc. It's entirely molecular, not inductive, and it's not ammendable to any algorithm you could program that isn't just programming the molecular dynamics of the overall system.

                How so? What’s different about “biological molecules”? Computers are also made of molecules and also have molecular dynamics. And if the bumblebee doesn’t follow algorithms or use induction because those aren’t real things, then neither does a computer, because there they’re also not real. So what exactly is stopping a computer from achieving the same things as biological organisms?

                By the way, molecules are no more real than algorithms or anything. Both are abstractions, fictional, and useful.

                The difference in molecules are which atom they are, and the set of all molecules that the various atoms can form together.

                Computers are not built out of the materials that can make general intelligence in the same way an iron bar is not built out of the right material to make water or a tree.

                Yes, language does not matter when it comes to how things actually are. Thats the point I'm making.

But this is only because WE have predefined and abstracted these things in order to perform the operations that WE made up and that only exist in our mind.
                continued...

                [...]
                In actual reality, there is no similarity whatsoever at all between an abacus, and a nickel coin, and a silicon transistor. They are entirely different physical systems with entirely different dynamics and behaviors and entirely different arrangements of molecules and entirely different wavefunctions. The "abstration" of the computation is not real whatsoever and only exists in our minds, which we have predefined to use to externalize our thinking, no different from drawing or anything like that.
                The physical or strong church turing thesis is not real. It doesn't exist. It is not the case that computation or information exists anywhere in this universe, they only exist in our minds. The things that actual exist is matter and the interactions of matter. Which is entirely substrate dependent.
                This includes intelligence, because intelligence is not special. Intelligence is not a "computation" because "computation" DOES NOT EXIST. Intelligence, like everything else, is just the molecular dynamics of a physical system, just like wetness is just the molecular dynamics of a physical system, etc.

                Strictly speaking, chemistry and wavefunctions are our models of reality, not reality itself, so in that sense they’re “not real”, but in normal everyday language of course they are.

                Let's take that as correct. Then in our model of reality, it's still not the case that we can program a general intelligence as the program would still be equivalent to simulating the molecular dynamics of a brain.

                Why do you think that intelligence is amendable to something more simple than the process of the brain?

                Yes, but there’s no functional difference between a simulation and the “real thing”. I think the brain is actually implementing a simulation of intelligence too.
                >Why do you think that intelligence is amendable to something more simple than the process of the brain?
                If I’m a shopkeeper and I need to calculate how much change I owe you, then it doesn’t really matter whether I do it in my head or with a calculator, because in principle I will end up handing you the same amount of money. Removing a few neurons from my brain wouldn’t affect that end result. Ideally, you would want to implement the simplest possible physical process that can “simulate” the relevant calculation, i.e., ends up giving you the result you’re looking for.

                The rest of your post is talking about something that is not relevant to the conversation. The mathematical church turing thesis being true does not mean that the strong physical church turing thesis is true, which it isn't.
                There is no actual similarity between using a pen and paper and a calculator in terms of the PHYSICS of the situation, and the PHYSICS of the situation is what actually exists. I do not care at all about your delusion that computation is real, it isn't real. It only exists in your mind. Information is not real, it's a linguistic shorthand for the physics of a situation.
                The simplest possible physical process that produces the effect of general intelligence is the biological brain and all the molecular dynamics therein. That is already the simplest kolmogorov complexity of the process. It is not amendable to a program on any number of classical silicon chips.

                let me run a "simulation" of your digestion and see if you can live and get the nutrients you need because the differential equations of the digestion are being run on some GPU stack. Or run a "simulation" of you breathing and see if you don't choke to death.
                seriously anyone who genuinely believes that simulations are equal to the real physical thing are delusional. There is nothing about a simulation in silico that is anywhere near equivalent to the real thing.

                Sure, if I simulate digestion it isn’t going to give me any nutrients, but if I could simulate the entire rest of the universe with it, that simulation would be indistinguishable from the “real” thing for simulated people within it.

                I’m not looking for nutrients, though, but signals. If a friend of mine had his brain replaced by a silicon machine that resulted in the same outputs, he wouldn’t be an less real to me.

                but you can't simulate the rest of the universe nor could you even simulate a single cell in the process as the simulation explodes and becomes intractable.
                and the same with your shit about the silicon thing, you can't simulate your friends brain on the silicon machine because the brain is a physical, molecular and biological system which can't be amended to classical information processing.

                Anon, simulations are not real. A simulation of an atom is not equivalent to the actual atom, not inside the "simulated universe" nor inside the actual physical machine that you're using to run the differential equations of the wavefunction of the atom etc. I have no idea why this is so hard for you to grasp. Simulations are not real at all. They do not actually exist anywhere.
                You are not a "simulation" of intelligence, you are not a "software running on the hardware of the brain". You are the brain itself and the entire evolution of all the molecules and dynamics inside it.
