When a joint Harvard/MIT study finds something, and then a DeepMind researcher follows up replicating it and finding something new, and then later on another research team replicates it and finds even more new stuff, and then later on another researcher replicates it with a different board game and finds many of the same things the other papers found generalized beyond the original scope…
That’s kinda the gold standard?
The paper in question has been cited by 371 other papers.
Citation like that means it’s a hot topic. Doesn’t say anything about the quality of the research. Certainly isn’t evidence of lacking bias. And considering everyone wants their AI to be the first one to be aware to some degree, everyone making claims like yours is heavily biased.
You clearly have no idea WTF you are talking about.
The research other than the DeepMind researcher’s independent follow-up was all being done at academic institutions, so it wasn’t “showing off their model.”
The research intentionally uses a toy model to demonstrate the concept in a cleanly interpretable way, to show that transformers are capable and do build tangential world models.
The actual SotA AI models are orders of magnitude larger and fed much more data.
I just don’t get why AI on Lemmy has turned into almost the exact same kind of conversations as explaining vaccine research to anti-vaxxers.
It’s like people don’t actually care about knowing or learning things, just about validating their preexisting feelings about the thing.
Huzzah, you managed to dodge learning anything today. Congratulations!
You do know how replication works?

I’m pretty comfortable with it as a citation.

I’m sorry dude, but it’s been a long day.
