Back in the day we had regular humans who would talk to dolphins and only occasionally engage in cross-species intercourse
What's a little handy between human and dolphin captive dosed with LSD
"Finally I can get consent!"
'consent? never heard of it'
I don't know if we really want to talk to dolphins. Those things are godless.
I see a major problem with this. Why would we assume dolphins have one single language? I see no reason to assume their languages wouldn't be as diverse as ours.
But worse still, you have to factor in the decline in dolphin populations over time. Maybe at their natural numbers, there would have be many thousands of dolphin languages, each spoken by tens of thousands of dolphins. But we've severely degraded their numbers. Now each dolphin language is the equivalent of one of those dying indigenous languages that now only has a handful of living speakers. Dolphin language might be a collection of such near-extinct languages, each highly distinct from each other. Maybe there's thousands of dolphin languages, each spoken by only a few dozen dolphins.
And unlike human languages, these dolphin languages weren't replaced by some broader hegemonic dolphin language, a dolphin English, Spanish, Mandarin, etc. There is no dolphin lingua franca that we can train the model on. There's just a whole series of dolphin language remnants, mutually incomprehensible to each other.
This is a real problem because LLMs require vast quantities of data to train on. It may simply not be possible to gather enough samples of a single dolphin language sufficient in quantity to train an LLM on.
Uhh, someone clearly hasn't read the Bible. There weren't any dolphins building the tower of Babel, sweaty.
do not remind me of the silly stuff some christians wholehesrtedly believe, the door to door ones traumatized me as a kid, they were so serious trying to convert me when I answered the door, stilll remember them going from teacher voice story telling to serious oh hello sir how are you when my dad walked up, I was like yo you were telling me about hell I need to know more
Ok yeah if tech bros find a way to communicate with animals, I will have no choice but to concede
I’m kinda skeptical though, this seems like more hype
So a research team did this recently with a sperm whale I believe and they basically said 'hello come here' and it actually did and circled the ship trying to talk with it, but they didn't know enough yet to respond.
Turns out the whales have their own Karl Marx and are all communists
Ok this would actually be pretty cool, if it works
Very much so. But if it does work, we should use that as proof that it's possible and start working on a non-AI way to accomplish it.
But I doubt they'd want to put the money into that. If the mystery box works well enough why bother?
turns out dolphins mostly just talk about fish and all the sa they have done, are doing, and plan to do
We have a dolphin LLM at home
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
[...] Historian Philip Mirowski argues that the decline of scientific quality can be connected to its commodification, especially spurred by major corporations' profit-driven decision to outsource their research to universities and contract research organizations.
The high publication rates for papers that reject the null hypothesis contributes to a file drawer effect in which papers that fail to reject the null go unpublished because they are not written up, written up but not submitted, or submitted and rejected. Publication bias and the file drawer effect combine to propagate the dissemination and maintenance of false knowledge: through the file drawer effect, correct findings of no effect are unpublished and hidden from view; and through publication bias, a single incorrect chance finding (a 1:20 chance at α = .05, if the null hypothesis is true) can be published and become part of a discipline’s wrong knowledge.
Ideally, scientists are objective and dispassionate throughout their investigations, but knowledge of the publication bias strongly opposes these ideals. Publication success shapes careers, so researchers need their experiments to succeed (rejecting the null in order to get published), creating many areas of concern (middle row of Figure 1), as follows.
I'm so tired. I hate Googler Science.
This is bullshit hype nonsense, and the fact it devolves into an ad for "AI-powered" Pixel 9 is pretty telling.
This is still less shit than their arxiv "GenAI Game Engine" crap, but not by much.
Is ecco the dolphin going to time travel into the future and save the human race?
they're gonna love Shrimp Jesus
Turns out Dolphins really hate black people.
This conclusion was brought to you by Grok.
What the dolphins are asking for:
lol what do you expect them to say? “Golly thanks for destroying the biosphere. Im so glad the ocean is spanned with floating garbage and commercial nets, there used to be pesky fish everywhere!”
