🤯🧠 In a shocking revelation, it turns out that being smarter might not actually involve just inflating our cranial capacity. 🤔💡 Stephen Wolfram, the wizard of verbose verbosity, imagines a world where we all have Einstein's brain, but forgets to ask: who'll do the laundry? 🤷‍♂️💭

What If We Had Bigger Brains? Imagining Minds beyond Ours

Stephen Wolfram explores how the number of neural connections affects capabilities like language and abstraction. How far we could go accounting for neural nets and LLMS, the fundamental nature of computation, neuroscience and the operation of brains.

Stephen Wolfram spends an eternity pondering the profound lessons of a digital ant farm 🚜🐜, proving once and for all that the true secret to #innovation is #procrastination through endless #simulation 🤖✨. Meanwhile, the rest of us continue using computers for, you know, actual work. 🖥️💼

What Can We Learn about Engineering and Innovation from Half a Century of the Game of Life Cellular Automaton?

Stephen Wolfram investigates the discovery of structures since the Game of Life was invented--searching possibilities versus invention by explicit effort. A thorough look at oscillators, modularity, glider guns.

What Is ChatGPT Doing … and Why Does It Work?

February 14, 2023

It’s Just Adding One Word at a Time

That ChatGPT can automatically generate something that reads even superficially like human-written text is remarkable, and unexpected. But how does it do it? And why does it work?

My purpose here is to give a rough outline of what’s going on inside ChatGPT—and then to explore why it is that it can do so well in producing what we might consider to be meaningful text. I should say at the outset that I’m going to focus on the big picture of what’s going on—and while I’ll mention some engineering details, I won’t get deeply into them. (And the essence of what I’ll say applies just as well to other current “large language models” [LLMs] as to ChatGPT.)

What Is ChatGPT Doing … and Why Does It Work?

Stephen Wolfram explores the broader picture of what's going on inside ChatGPT and why it produces meaningful text. Discusses models, training neural nets, embeddings, tokens, transformers, language syntax.

Что делает ChatGPT… и почему он работает?

#chatGPT #NeuralNetwork #AI #StephenWolfram

Это просто добавление одного слова за раз

То, что ChatGPT может автоматически генерировать что-то, что даже поверхностно читается как написанный человеком текст, замечательно и неожиданно. Но как он это делает? И почему это работает?

Моя цель в этой работе — дать грубую схему того, что происходит внутри ChatGPT, а затем исследовать, почему он может так хорошо производить то, что мы можем считать осмысленным текстом.
Я должен сказать с самого начала, что я собираюсь сосредоточиться на общей картине происходящего, и хотя я упомяну некоторые технические детали, я не буду в них глубоко вдаваться. (И суть того, что я скажу, применима так же хорошо к другим текущим «большим языковым моделям» [LLM], как и к ChatGPT.)

Seeing so many gleeful posts over a new report claiming LLMs don’t reason... But didn't Stephen Wolfram tell us this on *day one*? 🤔 In his article, he explained that LLMs generate responses based on statistical patterns, not genuine reasoning. 📊🧠 #AI #LLMs #StephenWolfram #TechNews #IdiotGasm

Stephen Wolfram reminds us that while AI can automate execution, it's our human goals and values that shape its trajectory. This sentiment aligns perfectly with The Humanity Code, which seeks to embed humanity’s highest virtues into the fabric of AI before it's too late.

I'm learning about how #LLMs and #ChatGPT work and how I might use them ethically, privately, and productively. This paper by #StephenWolfram is a helpful, high level primer and provides great perspective to an #AI tech novice like myself.

How does mathematics get built? … What are the parts of mathematics that we didn't follow? Well, once we followed the paths we followed…, we've locked into…a certain way of thinking about things. I think it's probably the same kind of thing with computing…
