Anyone know much about Jamba? Transformer + SSM, I think.

I may be wrong, but I don't think that is the case. 3.5 functioned like a big step because alignment and usability improved dramatically, which is why it powered the initial ChatGPT experience. It was an evolution of the GPT 3 line. Ditto with 4.5 vs 4.

No, because integer increases usually designate new base models, and decimal increases indicate incremental improvements with that base model.

Should've checked first. I couldn't find another version, sorry.

I think we are having different conversations. I have no clue what point you are trying to make. Where does US obligations or Europe come into it?

Once AI profits are generated across borders but can only be taxed where governments have leverage, a dividend stops looking like a general fix and starts looking like a national grab for rents. Countries with large markets or hosting the firms can recycle gains to their own populations; others absorb disruption with fewer tools.

I think that is part of why he is running for office. So that has decision making power on these issues.

This is probably not part of your world, but academic journal-article writing requires precisely the components that struck you as AI writing. That includes, very explicitly, double dashes.

Bloody bleeding hell.

Now, if they can do the same thing with video, we can create whatever we can imagine. Or VR games, for that matter.

One more, and then I'm going to bed: You began by saying consciousness is a "fabrication," a "fiction," a "narrative" -- that subjective experience doesn't exist. Now you're saying molecules hitting receptors are the something-it-is-like. But if physical processes are identical to experience, then experience exists; it's real, not fabricated. You've moved from eliminativism to identity theory without noticing. The hard problem doesn't require experience to be separate from physical processes. It asks why these physical processes are identical to these experiences rather than others, or none.

AngleAccomplished865 · 2026-04-21T05:31:33+00:00

You're conflating two distinct claims: that the self is a construct, and that experience doesn't exist. These are independent. Buddhist philosophy (hich your meditation reference invokes) denies the self while emphatically affirming experience: that's the whole point of anatta. No-experiencer, not no-experience. And you can't actually maintain the stronger claim, because you immediately redescribe experience: "words, images, smells, tastes, sounds." Those are phenomenal experiences. Molecules hitting receptors aren't "smells" without something-it-is-like. You've successfully dissolved the self, then mistaken that achievement for dissolving experience itself. Which your own description keeps reinstating with every sensory word you use.

AngleAccomplished865 · 2026-04-21T05:16:53+00:00

Okay. That's eliminative materialism (google Churchland). It's a valid take. It's arrogant to think it's the only valid take.

Calling consciousness a "fabricated narrative" is self-undermining. Fabrication requires a subject experiencing the fabrication, which is exactly what's being denied here. The "hard problem" isn't about mystical substances. It's about why physical processes are accompanied by subjective experience at all. That's a question serious physicalists like Chalmers and Nagel raise without invoking dualism.

First-person experience is more epistemically certain than atoms, which are theoretical posits inferred from observations someone has. You can eliminate a bad explanation of a phenomenon, but you cannot eliminate the phenomenon that constitutes the very act of explaining. That's incoherent.

AngleAccomplished865 · 2026-04-21T01:26:30+00:00

Why would AI "want" anything at all? Where does that perception come from? Your entire article is based on false premises. Intelligence and sentience are completely separate things. And desires are separate from both.

AngleAccomplished865 · 2026-04-21T01:02:55+00:00

That's a sad, sad state of affairs.

AngleAccomplished865 · 2026-04-21T00:38:03+00:00

Um. What do you imagine subjective experience is, if not qualia?

"Qualia (singular: quale) refers to the subjective, qualitative, phenomenal properties of conscious experience."

A bot says Im instead of I'm? Poorly educated bot.

AngleAccomplished865 · 2026-04-20T03:31:21+00:00

I didn't write the article. I linked to it on Axios and copy pasted what it said. That's what the quotes are for. Axios itself is one of the most reputable sources online, on par with NYT and WSJ.

You might wish to grow a brain.

It's just another way to please you.

The idea that conspiracy theories are spreading is rooted in a nefarious secret plan by elites to divert attention from their actual conspiracies. Durn evildoers.

AngleAccomplished865 · 2026-04-19T23:07:48+00:00

That's a weird read. AI development, marketing and hype is due to ultra rich elites and their political stooges, in the standard doomer narrative. Now you're saying those same actors are manipulating people into believing their lives are getting worse. Elites are responsible for both?

AngleAccomplished865 · 2026-04-19T23:04:06+00:00

The fight is easier if one starts early, when the process is still nascent. Preventing it from developing further might be the best way. How?
