“When I say ‘I am hungry’, I am reporting on my sensed physiological states. When an LLM generates the sequence ‘I am hungry’, it is simply generating the most probable completion of the sequence of words in its current prompt.”
Two new studies published in the journal of Science this week offer a deeper insight into the spread of misinformation on social media, offering evidence that it not only changes minds, but that a small group of committed “supersharers” — predominately older Republican women — were responsible for the vast majority of the “fake news” in the period looked at.
The studies, by researchers at MIT, Ben-Gurion University, Cambridge and Northeastern, were independently conducted but complement each other well. @TechCrunch has more.
Solar Storms Create Wondrous Auroras—But Dangerous Power Surges - The next potential space voltage could be on the horizon very soon, by Meg St-Esprit May 28, 2024
"...We are far from a time where we can predict solar weather with the accuracy of terrestrial weather, says Mike Bettwy, but it’s improving every day. “That’s why it’s really, really critical to have constant monitoring and imaging,” he says. “Now, if we see in a satellite image of a solar flare, we can actually run a model to try to predict how it is going to interact with the Earth’s atmosphere.” That wasn’t possible in the past, which meant solar storms were potentially much more dangerous before..."
I feel that the only way AI can become a real thing is for human beings to pour more effort into the Neurological and Psychological disciplines of study. How can you build something that is sentient without first fully understanding the human mind? That's clearly the framework developers are trying to implement, in order to respond to users appropriately. I might be wrong with this thought, but, it feels like the right direction.

Just spend an extra £150 if you want a cheap version of the 1073 and get the Warm Audio one ffs. The AMS Neve one is 1500.
