  • I mean it’s not really like humans are good at math either, we are good at making abstractions and following linear rules but we are slow and fallible. Digital computation is just near absolute the best method for doing math. LLMs are decent abstraction and general problem solving tho. They are not as creative as people but they are still pretty good! It’s a step on the right direction for true agi. Honestly even when we have agi I doubt they will ever beat raw cpus in computation speed.





  • It’s honestly not unrealistic though, I’ve used Linux for over 3 years as a daily driver for IT, software dev, and gaming. Only thing it struggled with with was gaming. I’m really not sure how you had so much trouble getting RDP to work, it was never that tiresome when I set it up. Linux does work out of the box on a wide variety of machines and it is gaining in popularity and ease of use. It does have limitations but they are quickly fading. Even then, from my experiences windows has more limitations. Windows can’t even use any file systems other than NTFS without WSL besides the most basic like FAT. It costs money to use and has meager customization at best. It’s bloated and barley runs on anything short for 8 GB of ram these days. It refuses to allow you to even have the slightest bit of privacy. That’s probably the biggest reason to switch. RDP does work great on windows. It’s their proprietary protocol. What else would you expect. Windows may be more “plug n play” but Linux just has more options for alot of thing and has more flexibility. It’s way more versatile as an os. If your looking for something plug n play just stick with Ubuntu




  • If I stuck you on a black box with and removed every single one of your senses, took away your ability to memorize things I don’t really think you’d generate new ideas either. Human creativity relies heavily on output from the outside world. LLMs are not human like intelligence but do exhibit pretty amazing emergent behavior. LLMs are more sophisticated than you think. Human like AI has to be possible unless there is something intrinsically different about the human brain that breaks our current understanding of the world. Barring a “soul”, the human brain has to be nothing but calculations taking place in a chemical medium. Meaning that human like AI or even better must be achievable.
