Interesting ps6 rumors


 The current bill of materials appears to be pretty high, mostly due to memory prices.  Memory prices are high due to AI demand, where lot of Datacenters are being built and a lot of resources are being bought at high prices to build AI infrastructure.   If AI demand calms down in some time, or if enough capacity is built, the price situation might improve and it wouldn't be so bad.

The limitation of range is not of biology, as unevolvable synthetic biology can likely go far further if not as far as possible. The limitation of range regards biology is regards evolvable biological intelligence.

Encyclopedic parrots...

 

Comment

The first llms were called stochastic parrots, but eventually they did prove to have some degree of intelligence, disproving the label.

But that said, I think a better label is encyclopedic parrot, even to this day the latest llms, still make mistakes when asked obvious questions that are outside their training data.  But they can make very intelligent responses within and around the training data.  So I think encyclopedic parrot might be a better label for them.

They have intelligence, but not agi yet, just proto agi.
