RE: https://hcommons.social/@rmathematicus/117240133177557834 People can really go deep down various rabbit holes: "Using Archimedes’ method of exhaustion van Ceulen spent a large part of his life calculating the value of π to 20 decimals, using a 2⁶² sided polygon. He published this in his book Van den Circkel (On the Circle) (Delft, 1596)." Related

Two positions I believe, both pretty strongly: 1. LLMs -- deep learning in general -- is novel and weird and powerful and important. The world is becoming *much weirder* as a result, and we do not yet know how deep the rabbit hole goes; and 2. LLMs, as of today, are still quite limited and fall short of "human intelligence" in many ways; they are also relatively much better at "appearing intelligent" than "being intelligent," which makes them easy to overestimate LLMs Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
