We had a fascinating discussion on this week’s SGU that I wanted to bring here – the subject of artificial intelligence programs (AI), specifically large language models (LLMs), lying. The starting point for the discussion was this study, which looked at punishing LLMs as a method of inhibiting their lying. What fascinated me the most […] The post How To Keep AIs From Lying first appeared on NeuroLogica Blog.
Language is an interesting neurological function to study. No animal other than humans has such a highly developed dedicated language processing area, or languages as complex and nuanced as humans. Although, whale language is more complex than we previously thought, but still not (we don’t think) at human level. To better understand how human language […] The post The Neuroscience of Constructed Languages first appeared on NeuroLogica Blog.

The Internet is full of people winning all the time. Someone is traveling to exotic locations, someone else is raising funds, and another person is winning awards. Essentially, everyone around you is succeeding while you do spend your days as the nature intended – sleeping, eating, smiling, chatting with friends, and spending time with your… Read More The post Don’t compete appeared first on Inverted Passion.
