The question doesn't even make sense. You have to redefine it to "purpose" or some other word to even get started. The only literal interpretation is "what does 'life' mean?", which is just something like "a metabolic system capable of Darwinian evolution".

When they hallucinate, they don't do it consistently, so one option is running the same query through multiple times (with different "expert" base prompts), or through different LLMs and then rejecting it as "I don't know" if there's too much disagreement between them. The Q* approach is similar, but baked in. This should dramatically reduce hallucinations.

Edit: added bit about different experts

Yeah, I'm surprised Google or another big player hasn't released something yet, or that the people like the IETF haven't had any RFCs or produced any practical standards. Now's the time to get market dominance. Perhaps nobody will react until the shit hits the fan.

I mean, pgp is great, but in this day and age we need a simple standard people can use to sign media without a hassle and we may also need chain of custody in light of social media (edits and whatnot). Developers will likely need or want to build it into their software, so we need a standard. I don't think the pgp approach really worked for most people.

Yeah, you'd need to produce 2 nuclear power stations per week to keep up with growth in solar alone. It's going to have a part to play, but it's ever slipping into irrelevance.

Don't be offended at the language - that's just friendly banter for an Aussie. You get used to it.

You may not have discovered TVP yet. You should do so.

Oruxmaps is pretty good too.

The max on this graph is 21.2. Each year, the time when cooling begins is getting later. If it's anything like last year, it seems possible it could break 21.5. Where is this 21.9 coming from?

Wait until they discover what stable diffusion can do, running locally.

Ah, you're suggesting using RFC 3514. Good thinking.

Fractal universe theories have been proposed. I don't know many details myself, but just thought it was an example of how you can still have theoretically infinite detail within a finite system.

Fractals are infinite
