yes. i saw it too using the hosted version. but i tricked it

DeepSeek was asked to come up with one truly novel insight about humans:

It's reasoning steps could also be seen:

I don't think any one of these are novel. I was already familiar with the first one (it's final answer). I looked up some of the others. For example the insight about the laughter is in a paper from 1998:
Just a moment...
After coming up with one insight it sort of admits that it's not novel and it should look deeper etc. It would have been really, really scary if it wasn't just regurgitating "novel insights" from the internet but actually inventing them.

Sure but at least it would have been appropriate to call it intelligent (caveat emptor: I haven't read the prose to see if it isn't just the brouhaha you'd hear a Ted talking about

I keep wondering about the overall cost-benefit ratio of generating AI output versus putting this output into perspective.
-
I also keep wondering what will become of discussions (or, ideed, places) like this, given a potentially increasing need to puzzle over "AI-in-disguise" contributions by individual posters.

Right. Actually, the other day, when RJVB posted ChatGPT's mention of a Norwegian saxophonist "Niels-Nygaard Nilsen" and I questioned the existence of that person, AI should have immediately picked this up crawling the web, opened an account here by that name and posted a message protesting that he (NNN) was indeed a real person.

I certainly don't know enough to comment. (If we do have an expert on the technicalities, I'd appreciate an answer to my question about distillation without access to source parameters and topology!) But I did find this article about emergence interesting and readable

Short answer: LLM's rely on the notion of 'emergence', but there's a more nuanced definition where 'emergence' is defined as a property exhibited by a larger model that was not present in a smaller model. But even that metric is controversial among researchers.

I seem to remember reading very recently that OpenAI have produced 'AI agents' that can perform that kind of task, ie operate programs on your computer for you.

That’s exactly what makes this generation of AI different. When a model is big enough trained on enough data and runs through enough iterations it starts developing abilities that weren’t explicitly programmed in. It’s not randomness or error it’s just that at a certain scale the model generalizes patterns so well that new capabilities emerge like reasoning through problems or translating between languages it was never directly trained on.

Distillation means training a smaller or more efficient model using the full outputs of a bigger model including its probability scores (/logits) not just the final text. DeepSeek couldn’t have done that because it didn’t have access to OpenAI’s weights or numerical model outputs. When people say it’s a distillation they probably just mean it was trained on a ton of GPT-generated text. That would mean they passed a bunch of data into GPT got the responses and used those as training data. I don't know enough to support if that's more than pure speculation and not sure how anyone would prove it.

As somebody else has pointed out, DeepSeek also displays its intermediate 'reasoning' steps, which ChatGTP's O models do not, so the claim seems improbable.

LLM's are going to be a big change. Are they there yet? In some areas certainly. In others, not so much. I inquired about a 2 button looper that draws 100mA or less. Good list of loopers but nothing within the parameters of my question. So we point to current imperfections as if that is a reason to dismiss the technology. Hardly. How we tap information and how that information is applied are going to change in big ways.
Of course, there are more complex questions. Would you enjoy listening to jazz that was intuitive, interesting, and creative if you knew it was a machine? Not sure.. I mean other than to steal it's licks.

BusyBeaver(5) took 41 years to figure out. No one will ever come close to understanding what a network of billions of nodes with billions of parameters, billions of weights does after billions of cycles of updates. To what extend will it be able to do inference? Will it become conscious? What does it even mean?
It's impossible for a human to comprehend even much simpler systems. You can write a few lines of code that generates random looking numbers. It'd take a nobel prize in mathematics to prove that the numbers generated by the algorithm doesn't satisfy all the properties of random sequences. This would be a relatively simple linear logic. As the branching factor and state space of a system increases, it very quickly becomes very intractable and unintuitive for humans to conceptualize it.

What's been bugging me ever since you posted these samples, aside from the scariness, to me it would seem that we have a serious credit-where-credit-is-due problem here. Not to be taken lightly as far as I am concerned.

Aaron clearly warns users that Nepenthes is aggressive malware. It's not to be deployed by site owners uncomfortable with trapping AI crawlers and sending them down an "infinite maze" of static files with no exit links, where they "get stuck" and "thrash around" for months, he tells users. Once trapped, the crawlers can be fed gibberish data, aka Markov babble, which is designed to poison AI models. That's likely an appealing bonus feature for any site owners who, like Aaron, are fed up with paying for AI scraping and just want to watch AI burn.
