It's a "category error" like saying hydrodynamics are just quantum mechanics. It does not describe the complex emergent behavior and doesn't really tell you anything. Or it's like saying psychology is how the neurons and synapses connect with each and exchange signals and that is all - this would not explain the mental processes between a marmot and a human. So it's not an accurate simplified description, just a description of the basic building blocks.

Afaik nobody knows how LLMs actually think, we only know sort of how to train them. They are researching how LLMs think with an equivalent to MRI brain scanning: Vista do LLM-MRI Python module: a brain scanner for LLMs

But they do plan to release the Astra model to the public "after it's finished" I assume?

And yeah this Lean software sounds amazing, didn't know this was possible.

I misread your last sentence in a way that create a different problem: Imagine AI starts producing more and more proofs at a pace that humans can't keep up with. So science advances, and humans can even make use of it, but can't verify or really understand the theory any more. Like we get better working machines, materials and processes, but do not understand why because we can't keep up. If that happened then that I guess would a significant stage in the singularity.

I don't understand enough about math and lean proofs - do you mean it's possible nobody can interpret and explain how the proof goes in "human language"?

Well true it was an offhand sarcastic comment. And I know near nothing about the case besides the headlines. And I'm not saying this sort of corruption is widespread in the UK.

But the wiki page about the grooming gangs scandal notes "Several government reviews have reported failures by British institutions in preventing, identifying and prosecuting the widespread cases". And a later "Casey report concluded that the council was "not fit for purpose" and had a culture of bullying, sexism, covering up information and silencing whistleblowers".

Which is exactly what I'd guess why a grooming gang can operate without being investigated for so long. I didn't go by "every accusation is a confession" which is also often true.

So the real perpetrators of injustice were the misogynist cops we found along the way.

At least you can quickly filter out posts that are tagged. It takes much more energy to refute bullshit than spreading it (Brandolini’s law).

And users or networks that are spreading untagged fake content can get fined and social media will be strongly encouraged to ban such users. That depends on the enforcement of course.

synthetic text, images, video and audio designed to look truthful must be visibly marked as AI-generated and contain a digital watermark to show the artificial origins of the content.

Great! Basically the browsers could then just highlight or filter images that are AI generated based on the digital metadata. What would be important that all image generators put those metadata tags in, and all image manipulation software leaves then in by default. And that if you paste an image in some image tool, it copies the AI label.

All this costs basically nothing and hurts nobody. It's just adding and reading some metadata. And A LOT of the anger about not being able to tell what is real and what is not disappears. The responses are seriously silly

And of course they then need to enforce this. You'll still have images pretending to be real which are fake, but at least you can easily and quickly filter out the marked ones. Basically Brandolini's law, it takes the viewer much more energy to debunk bullshit he's seeing than spreading it. So this helps at least in that. And violations can be fined, and social media will not also be encouraged to ban users posting fake images without markers.

A fundamental human right people should have is the "RIGHT TO REALITY", to know what is real and what is fake and to not be deceived. The most extreme would be to put people into "The Matrix" or a simulation without them knowing. And what we're seeing today is kinda like this - politicians lie and mainstream media obscures.

Huh, maybe we need a fedishop network that is non profit and works for the interests of customers. Well and sellers, but not for profit for itself.

I never implied this definition of fascism is the consensus. It is however undeniably clear and concise. There have been an actual and real problems with defining fascism, like that 12 criteria thing is pretty useless in normal political discourse.

How do you fight fascism effectively if you you can't easily define it? At any moment someone is going to come in with a sideways tackle "actually it doesn't fulfill the criteria 532.2 of subparagraph 7 so shouldn't be considered fascism!" lol.

Which is basically what the OP mainstream news is doing, see OP article with their fucking mealy mouthy both sides approach. This approach helps the actually fascist Örebro so if they do happen to get into power and commit a ethnic cleansing...

Needless to say I definitely consider ethno-nationalism or even just strong nationalism as at least partially fascist. And I think the specific leadership configuration like authoritarian dictatorship doesn't really matter than much or have anything to do with the ideology.

Check out the book I linked. The definition of fascism is an academic question.
