A concept rattling around in human brains might influence, but rarely does anything directly

THE AUGUSTE LAURENT SOCIETY @JorgeJi83882694 As far as Im concerned dialectical phenomenology, which is to say the nature of experience, knowledge, and communication, at the highest & lowest planes of abstraction & their interfaces, is the only subject that matters right now. Feels like we are going to lose Science for good https://pic.twitter.com/PiH37IeCel Replying to

“LLM wrapper programs” cannot do perfect mathematics” unless they use exact compiled algorithms

If you are doing it, then calculate the cost for just over 5 Billion humans using the Internet to have access to ALL mathematics. And you should quickly find that LLM statistical indexing in grossly inefficient, at that scale, compared to storing symbolic mathematics, its operations, and very very precise answers as data. ChatGPT always

Sites, knowledge, and topics are taken over by a few, and the world suffers

Be careful to distinguish “true intelligent algorithms” that can be verified, from the many current hand written and human maintained “LLM shell” programs of groups wrapping LLM generated sentences. These are NOT true AIs by any means, and probably should not be called “AIs” at all. They are statistical sentence generators, and are severely limited

We do not need 8.1 Billion ways of writing down the sounds we make and encoding those in symbols.

We do not need 8.1 Billion ways of writing down the sounds we make and encoding those in symbols. Sounds for words, symbols for sounds, a chaos of spellings and fonts. LLM groups choosing arbitrary local tokenizations and not using a finite set of global open tokens – with the cooperation, involvement, agreement and benefit

A common voice for a heliospheric species means all humans can speak a universal language that tokenizes into a small set of global open acoustic elements
