From his website stallman.org:

Richard Stallman has cancer. Fortunately it is slow-growing and manageable follicular lymphona, so he will probably live many more years nonetheless. But he now has to be even more careful not to catch Covid-19.

      GPT, for example, fails in calculation with problems like knapsack, adjacency matrix, Huffman tree, etc.

      it starts giving garbled output.

        Ask it simple question a calculator can ask. Say square root of 48. It will give the wrong answer

                So same way it may not be able to code if it can’t do math. All i see it having is profound english knowledge, and the data inputted.

                Human knowledge is limited, i agree. But more knowledge is different from the ability to so called ‘think’. Maybe it can be done with a different type of neural network and usage of logical gates seperate from the neural networks

      People overestimate how much it matters that ai “doesn’t have the capacity to understand it’s output”

      Even if it doesn’t, is that a massive problem to overcome? There’s studies showing that if you have an ai list the potential problems with an output and then apply them to its own output it performs significantly better. Perhaps we’re just a recursive algorithm away from that.
