Big language models can't plan, even if they write fancy essays

This article is part of our coverage of the latest AI research. Large language models such as GPT-3 have grown to the point where it is difficult to measure the limits of their capabilities. When you have a very large neural network that can produce articles, write software code, and engage in conversations about feelings and life, you should expect it to be able to reason about tasks and plans like humans do, right? Wrong. A study by researchers at Arizona State University, Tempe, showed that when it comes to planning and methodical thinking, LLMs perform very poorly, and suffer from many of the same failures observed in today’s deep learning systems.

Interestingly, this study found that, although very large LLMs such as GPT-3 and PaLM pass many tests intended to evaluate reasoning abilities and artificial intelligence systems, they do so because these benchmarks are too si

What is inflation? Why is it so high? And what is the RBA's plan to bring it back down?

If you’re the person in your household who usually goes grocery shopping or fills the car, you don’t need a statistician to tell you that prices are going up. Nonetheless, the latest official reading of rising consumer prices is out on Wednesday from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. This is called the Consumer Price Index, or CPI. “The way to measure inflation in Australia is to look at the different categories that consumers use to spend their money,” explains AMP senior economist Diana Mousina. The numerator at ABS goes around all the capital cities and checks the latest prices for this “basket of goods,” with about 100,000 different individual prices collected every three months. The statisticians then calculated how much had changed since the last survey three months earlier. Each year, the ABS also checks what Australians typically spend the majority of their money on, and ‘weights’ the CPI accordingly, thus reflecting where the average household spends the majority of its mon

Bullet trains to the moon and Mars? What is Japan's plan for an interplanetary journey connecting Earth, Moon, and Mars?

Researchers from Japan’s Kyoto University, in a joint effort with Kajima Construction, are dealing with plans to introduce a space-powered Bullet Train that could revive the space travel industry. As a collaboration with Kajima Construction, researchers at Kyoto University, Japan have announced the construction of an artificial space region between the interplanetary train connecting Earth, Moon, and Mars, as the world sees the beginning of the next Space Race. It seems that sci-fi films could turn into the real world if Japanese technology was accepted. Humans can traverse different planets on the train soon! Indeed, you read it correctly. Japan has spread plans in an attempt to send humans to Mars and the Moon. In a press conference last week, the group announced its futuristic intention to encourage the life structure of the ‘Glass’ region that duplicates Earth’s gravity, terrain and climate to prevent human musculoskeletal ‘weakening’ in non-existent and low-gravity environments

Japanese Researchers Plan to Create Earth's Gravity on the Moon

Japanese researchers have released plans to recreate Earth’s gravity level on the moon. The effort aims to support plans by the United States and other countries to build long-term bases for humans on the moon. The low gravity on the moon will affect the humans living there in important ways. The American space agency NASA notes that the gravity on the moon’s surface is one-sixth the gravity we experience on Earth. How to “make” gravity Designers working on plans to recreate Earth’s level of gravity, known as “1 g,” on the moon proposed the use of a centrifugal system. Centrifugal force is created by circular motion. The centrifuge rotates very fast to force the material in it away from the center or axis point, NASA explains. This planned system will create false gravity in the enclosed space on the lunar surface. The project is a partnership between researchers at Japan’s Kyoto University and engineers at Japanese building company Kajima. The researchers say the centrifugal sys

US energy secretary says turning to wind and solar "could be the greatest peace plan of all"

A global transition to cleaner energy sources could be the world’s best opportunity to minimize the possibility of global conflict, the US energy secretary said at a major energy forum in Sydney. In a speech at the Sydney Energy Forum on Tuesday, US energy secretary Jennifer Granholm said the shift to cleaner energy sources meant no country could be “hostage” for its access to solar and wind resources. “No country has ever been held hostage to access the sun. No country has ever been held hostage to access the wind. They were never armed, nor will they be,” Granholm told the forum. “So, therefore, our move to clean energy globally could be the greatest peace plan of all.” “We want and need to switch to clean energy, and we share this with Australia. We have lots of sunshine and lots of land for solar and wind farms. Coastal with offshore wind expert employment opportunities.” “But we see an opportunity for us as clean energy exporters to be able to play a role in bringing that p

Problems with Elon Musk's high-stakes plan to pull out of his $44 billion Twitter deal

Late Friday, Musk’s legal team declared its intention to terminate the merger agreement, reiterating its claim that Twitter did not provide him with sufficient information about accounts and saying it was his belief that the share of spam and fake accounts was “significantly higher” than the amount Twitter claims. They also point to the recent firing of two Twitter executives, the layoff of a third of its talent acquisitions and the departure of several senior executives (reportedly because some of them don’t want to stay on what they hoped to be Musk’s Twitter) as material changes that hurt the business. . Musk signed a deal with a very limited breakout clause and made an easy exit from it even more difficult by restating back in April that: “I don’t care about the economy at all.” It was conceived as the purchase of luxury goods by the world’s richest man at a time when his wealth (and ego?) was on the rise. Now he has buyer’s remorse. Twitter’s board has signaled it won’t let him o

I'm super sad. How do I plan to save her this year

Just $1 invested when super-mandatory started 30 years ago is now worth $7.67, based on the average “balanced” fund, SuperRatings says. Don’t forget all super refund figures have been deducted by fees. Make sure, if you’re paying higher than 1.1 percent of SuperRatings’ name as a “regular fee,” that the fund you choose is performing well enough to justify the additional fee. Get the best investment mix Do what I did and avoid watching your superfund balance plummet – as long as your fund investment options are right. It should not be determined by what happens in the stock market, and always by what happens to you. Of the types of funds I cited above, “growth” funds hold between 77 and 90 percent in equities, making them quite vulnerable to stock market volatility. “Balanced funds” hold 60 to 76 percent of the more moderate shares. There are also more conservative options, especially for super members who are nearing retirement and can’t afford to risk their sizeable cash pile. Thi
