none of this is new but it's weird to think that this is almost the default outcome - physical labor costs going down instead of up is more science fiction than extremely advanced augmented reality

“laws of physics” is overloaded because it both represents the math formulae that physicists derived to describe the universe but also sometimes separately the assumed ground truth eqns that actually govern reality but we know that these arent the same

· ↳ reply to @tszzl
when we say the “unbreakable laws of physics” we know that physics is obviously breakable because of eg black holes, Big Bang, the “vacuum catastrophe” at the same time many modern ppl have a belief that there do exist perfect hidden rules that govern reality and are unbreakable

I wonder why they train such small retrieval LMs though. I wonder if there's diminishing returns on 200b param retrieval LM or if retrieval at train time makes training prohibitively slow. i don't think it's the latter because the retrieval seems to be indexed in key value store

@rajath0_0 yeah correct ideal is global access to internet data for aiding the reasoning / prediction process practice is local key value store bc internet queries would make training way too slow
