I am a long term Arch user. I consider to recommend CachyOS to a friend with very limited technical knowledge. I read CachyOS is suitable for Linux beginners. But since it is based on Arch, doesn't that mean manual user intervention is sometimes necessary like it is in Arch? If it is, I don't think it is suitable for a noob user.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I could not find anything about manual intervention or about checking Arch news before updating in the Cachy wiki or anywhere else.

I think Lumons goal is to create a chip, that can be activated every time a person has to do something unpleasant or painful.

With this chip a person that is afraid of flying or the dentist could just activate the chip and can travel easier and have better dental health.

People that hate to do physical exercises can simply let their innie do the work and be fit and healthy without having to work for it.

Woman that are to afraid to give birth can have children without having to suffer through a potentially painful birth. When Lumon has a chip like that, they might be able to convince a lot of people to get chipped. That is something Jame talked to Helena about in season 1 episode 9. "Everybody should have a chip!"

And when everybody has a Lumon chip they might have darker plans to control people with these chips.

So on the testing floor they created a chip that makes Innies willing to take the pain for the Outie. Maybe they are able to copy Gemmas chip after Cold Harbour. And these copied chips could then be implanted in others?

What do you think?

I thought at first, she standing their in this fire lit room a fire burning behind her, she must be evil. She looks like the devil in this scene. But this is not about Christianity, it is about the Lumon religion! She is the fallen arch angel of Lumon! She is not the antichrist, she is the anti-kier!

Lumon is all about the cold. Cold colours everywhere, the iceberg picture in Milchicks office, the home town of Cobel (home town of Lumon as well?), Cold Harbour, ... But there is Cobel standing in very warm light with a fire cracking behind her. She is no longer a soldier for Lumon. She is the anti-Kier now! She wants to burn this company to the ground now!

First of all, the take that LLM are just Parrots without being able to think for themself is dumb. They do in a limited way! And they are an impressive step compared to what we had before them.

Secondly, the take that LLMs are dumb and make mistakes that takes more work to correct compared to do the work yourself from the start. That is something I often hear from programmers. That might be true for now!

But the important question is how will they develop! And now my take, that I have not seen anywhere besides it is quite obvious imo.

For me, the most impressive thing about LLMs is not how smart they are. The impressive thing is, how much knowledge they have and how they can access and work with this knowledge. And they can do this with a neuronal network with only a few billion parameters. The major flaws at the moment is their inability to know what they don't know and what they can't answer. They hallucinate instead of answering a question with "I don't know." or "I am not sure about this." The other flaw is how they learn. It takes a shit ton of data, a lot of time and computing power for them to learn. And more importantly they don't learn from interactions. They learn from static data. This similar to what the Company DeepMind did with their chess and go engine (also neuronal networks). They trained these engines with a shit tone of games that were played by humans. And they became really good with that. But then the second generation of their NN game engines did not look at any games played before. They only knew the rules of chess/go and then started to learn by playing against themself. It took only a few days and they could beat their predecessors that needed a lot of human games to learn from.

So that is my take! When LLMs start to learn while interacting with humans but more importantly with themself. Teach them the rules (that is the language) and then let them talk or more precise let them play a game of asking and answering. It is more complicated than it sounds. How evaluate the winner in this game for example. But it can be done.

And this is where the AGI will come from in the future. It is only a question how big do these NN need to be to become really smart and how much time they need to train. But this is also when AI can gets dangerous. When they interact with themself and learn from that without outside control.

The main problem right now is they are slow as you can see when you talk to them. And they need a lot of data, or in this case a lot of interactions to learn. But they will surely get better at both in the near future.

What do you think? Would love to hear some feedback. Thanks for reading!
