What would "meaningful progress" entail for you? How would your life change, how would the life on earth in general change? Great achievements in science (aided by AI)?
- taeric 8y agoThat is a different question, though. The question if if there is meaningful progress in ai. The amount of progress explained solely by percentage improvements against a benchmark is pretty high. I don't think this is particularly damning. Nor do I think it should be halted. However, I agree it is hard to call progress.
- Erlich_Bachman 8y agoWhat specifically would be easy for you to call progress?
- taeric 8y agoAn equation that could predict a better ML model. Honestly, I think claiming I want an equation is a touch too much. However, a falsifiable prediction would be nice. Imagine if the only way we got accurate ballistics was by requiring faster more powerful guns all of the time. "We can hit the target, but only if we upgrade our guns to railguns and limit ourselves to large targets."
