who is right? |
Date: July 27th, 2025 12:05 AM Author: Frozen Histrionic Whorehouse How does he destroy it he doesn’t even address it. He just says Chomsky’s theory of universal grammar is clearly wrong and behavioralism is clearly right (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5755078&forum_id=2).#49134015) |

Date: July 27th, 2025 7:52 AM Author: Floppy national sweet tailpipe altho it did remind me of that observation that scientific paradigms rarely shift by persuasion and mostly shift by the older view literally aging and dying out. (Chomsky's still alive, apparently. holy shit.) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5755078&forum_id=2).#49134210) |

Date: July 27th, 2025 10:04 AM Author: rose mediation At this point I don’t think the neural net guys are trying to persuade them as much as they are just publicly dunking on them. These guys built an LLM based on their understanding of what language is and it works. Hard to argue with results. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5755078&forum_id=2).#49134352) |

Date: July 27th, 2025 12:11 AM Author: Bipolar jewess The fact linguists were never able to build anything remotely as capable as ChatGPT (even in narrow domains like translation) should do a lot to diminish their credibility compared to ML people. Why should we believe anything they say? The biology aligns with connectionism too. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5755078&forum_id=2).#49134026) |

Date: July 27th, 2025 8:35 AM Author: Stimulating prole address ..except linguistics is a core part of most AI systems, since its theories and concepts are used to parse text, construct sentences with proper grammar, etc. Also Chomsky himself predicted that the computationally-intense techniques of what eventually came to be known as ML/AI would be the only way to handle problems like translation because linguistics and science in general lack any fundamental understanding of how thought works. So maybe we should listen to what they have to say. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5755078&forum_id=2).#49134250) |

Date: July 27th, 2025 3:10 PM Author: Bipolar jewess linguistics is absolutely not a core part of modern AI systems. they dispensed with linguistic theories and trained powerful function approximators to learn to predict the next token. everything that comes out of it is an emergent property built on data and learning.
"also Chomsky himself predicted that the computationally-intense techniques of what eventually came to be known as ML/AI would be the only way to handle problems like translation because linguistics and science in general lack any fundamental understanding of how thought works."

Date: July 27th, 2025 5:36 PM Author: Bipolar jewess ChatGPT knows about linguistics because it has read everything, but it wasn't programmed using linguistic knowledge. it's a decoder only transformer that maps vector representations of text segments to a vector representation of the next text segment. there's nothing resembling linguistics inside its operating mechanisms.

Date: July 28th, 2025 5:45 PM Author: Bipolar jewess there is no evidence of specialized symbol circuitry in the brain. language representation occurs in the neocortex, which is anatomically very uniform and it appears to learn based on general pattern recognizers that wire up through learning. to the extent brains use symbols, they are learned patterns built out of synapses.

Date: July 27th, 2025 11:54 AM Author: shimmering abode french chef "linguists" is a very broad category. lots of linguists have figured out very useful and cr stuff, like cucumbers said
in general though yeah Liberal Artists are Frauds |

Date: July 27th, 2025 11:56 AM Author: shimmering abode french chef nobody would have ever known who chomsky was or given credence to any of his "theories" if he wasn't a leftist jew
many such cases |

Date: July 28th, 2025 5:08 PM Author: rose mediation this is wrong. when you do as much scholarly output from MIT as he has done it tends to have an impact irrespective of political beliefs, and he was famous for his work in linguistics before anyone knew his politics (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5755078&forum_id=2).#49138258) |

also linguistics is a bullshit field for low iq jew grinders to rent seek because philology got shitcanned as a result of the holocaust, which never happened (but should have) also jews were too dumb for that discipline anyway |
