learning is the basis of all known intelligence. LLMs have learned something very specific, AGI would need to be built by generalising the core functionality of learning not as an outgrowth of fully formed LLMs.

and yes the current approach is very much using a brick to open a lock and that's why it's ... ahem ... hit a brick wall.

Yeah, 20 something years ago when I was trying to learn PHP of all things, I really wanted to make a chat bot that could learn what words are... I barely got anywhere but I was trying to program the understanding of sentence structure and feeding it a dictionary of words... My goal was to have it output something on its own ...

I see these things become less resource intensive and hopefully running not on some random server...

I found the files... It was closer to 15 years ago...

Trying to invent artificial intelligence to learn php is quite funny lol

I'm amazed I still have the files... But yeah this was before all this shit was big... If I had a better drive I would have ended up more evil than zuck .. my plan was to collect data on everyone who used the thing and be able to build profiles on everyone based on what information you gave the chat ... And that's all I can really remember... But it's probably for the best...
