  • I’m slowly trying to convert myself to metric. Temperature is a hard one for me because it’s so ingrained in my psyche.

    Length is easier. 440mm is much easier than 17 21/64 in. Plus all the CAD software I use is easy to switch to metric. Weight isn’t hard either since most of the maker things I use (filament/resin) are in metric. My doctor’s office even weighs me in kg thinking they can sneak it by me. I know what 92.4kg is you cheeky bastards.














  • No but it was definitely implied by the headline. A word prediction machine, no matter how useful, is never going to be an AGI. And don’t get me wrong, I find LLMs very useful for lots of things. But the model they are chasing is never going to be an AGI, no matter how much info you feed it.

    I also wouldn’t predict against an LLM helping to create an AGI either. I have this analogy in my head…

    I hammer is a useful tool. It can do many things. It can even put a screw into a piece of wood through a very brute force method. This does not make a hammer a screw driver. Could you use a hammer to help in construction of a machine to build a screw driver? Most definitely, likely even required.

    Anybody suggesting they have an AGI built from the current process is a tech bro looking for funding.
