That's kind of a given though. It's a large language model, so of course its "understanding" can only be in terms of language. In a way, words are its only sense (input), and only way to interact with the world (output). The mechanism isn't really important, imo, since we could reduce our own understanding to chemical reactions.

Homo sapiens have many more dimensions of awareness, dozens maybe including sight, hearing, time, pressure, acceleration, etc., and we've been collecting data from them all 24/7 since embryo, plus instinct (pre-baked weights) from millions of years of evolution. We know that people born without a sense, let's say vision cannot conceptualize visually, even when their sight is restored for a time. I remember reading awhile back that a person born blind had their vision fixed, but they didn't know what "pointy" looked like. They couldn't know. Do they have a lower quality understanding of a word?

My point being, I don't think it's fair to objectively compare understanding between a person and a model without a testable definition of that word. Imo, and feel free to disagree, understanding is no different than merely knowing, it's just implied that the knowledge is deeper, across multiple dimensions of awareness, including subconscious awareness of our own hormones.

I assumed that he was talking about the fact the the languages he listed have a lot of syntax in common with each other, and with a few other languages. I could be wrong though

You think that's fruit you're eating?

Unlike with longer distances and temperature, Americans don't strictly use imperial for shorter distances (m, cm, mm). It's on all of the signs and stuff, but we learn metric in school as well as how to convert to and from. In university-level physics classes, they almost solely use metric. So as an American myself, I didn't bat an eye at him using meters. But if they said that it was 30C outside...

I think so too, even the second had a few good scenes. I don't remember anything from the third

On the flip side, you just taught me that the extra length can be wound up underneath!

From the pictures, the tank's only a couple meters from a tree itself. "supplement" would be a better word than "alternative" in the headline

Sprinkle a little garlic powder in there and it's like eating a grilled cheese and garlic bread at the same time
