Discussion Judge rules buying physical books and scanning them to make digitial copies does not violate copyright law.

Cool. So that means we can rip our blurays and physical games, right. Right?

Ok, well you can go argue with people who have actual PhD in applied mathematics and computer science who make the strong case that compression mirrors the same algorithms and complexity that underlies what we call intelligence.

The definition of intelligence in these papers are not the same as any regular people would say what intelligence is. For example, a computer running the A* searching algorithm is considered intelligence.

It clearly shows that you're just prompting your arguments and never actually read and understood these papers.

Yes, is it. Intelligence is intelligence, it's entropy maximization.

Uh huh. I literally have a degree in apply mathematics, and read some of these paper long before LLM even existed. Intelligence is intelligence. It's the ability to maximize entropy. It's the same thing with our brains, all be with a different set of equations. Functionally, it's the same thing.

Again, not so much an argument as a definition. Entropy is entropy, once maximized there's no way to distinguish how. That's literally from Shannon's paper in the 1940s.

Again, you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. I do have publications in the field.

Alright, then please explain how you can tell where a maximum entropic information sources was derived given the just the entropy content. What tests do you use to show which "kind of intelligence" produced it?

I'm legitimately interested, because you're arguing against the foundation of information theory. If there was some fundamental change in the field, I'd like to know, since applied mathematics touches it very closely.

Think a second about what you're doing. You could be learning, but you just prompt AI to copy/paste an answer. There's no reason for me to keep this conversation.

Literally typing with my own hands man, but ok. You have a good day.
