Well, if they're bought in bulk, there's gonna be some duplicates. They probably don't know what they're buying until they start scanning. But still, the number of duplicates will be inversely proportational to the rarit

Who says they're rare and nonrecoverable? If they're bought in bulk from used booksellers, they're probably quite common titles. We throw away nearly a billion books every year. They're not sacred, and scanning a few mil

This is probably for the best, right? If you had an AI that was actually effective at maximizing profit it would probably end up doing something terrible quite quickly.

No they haven't. That whole news article is based on one two-word tweet in a thread about how old people dominate local politics. Someone suggested that pensioners shouldn't get a vote, and the Shopify founder responded with &quot

Either we will invent new jobs, as we have always done in the past. Or if truly all jobs can be done by machine, we retire and go live a life of fully automated luxury space communism.

More likely because the entire Google organization is refocusing on LLMs. Also they already got their nobel prize, so the marketing benefit is already maxed out.

Tell that to the nobel prize committee. The article is fine. AlphaFold is widely regarded as "solving" protein folding.

by Legend2440 2mo ago
The kind of solution you want may not be possible . There is no guarantee that a tractable method exists to analytically invert protein folding. Data-driven methods like alphafold may be the only option.

True in fact. Aluminum manufacturing is responsible for roughly 2% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and if you add in metal manufacturing as a whole it comes up to 11%. Refining ore is very energy-intensive.

The only reason we have the standard of living we do today is because of automation. I welcome more of it.

I think this is a category error. Those are properties of systems of logical axioms. But LLMs are not logical; they are statistical. It can only 'believe' a statement is true in the Bayesian sense, where the statement agrees with

AI is also an incredibly useful tool that could automate many industries, so it deserves some leeway because of the benefits it provides. And while it is 'fastest-growing', it is small as an absolute share - around 0.2% of total w

I really don't care. Books aren't sacred, and the information in them will be far more accessible once digitized and trained than it would sitting on a shelf where no one will read it.

There was a SIGGRAPH paper this year working on something similar, diffusion models for minecraft terrain generation. Link: https://xandergos.github.io/terrain-diffusion/ Video demo: https://youtu.be/ir

I think this article pushes the premise farther than is reasonable. The best anyone expects from an LLM "truth vector" is that it would encode the model's belief about whether the statement is true. Of course a perfect trut

Is it though? He's more of a gushing torrent of anti-AI propaganda. He has an agenda too, it's just the opposite one.

Tesla is such a politically-charged brand at this point that none of these discussions are in good faith. It's all fanboys vs haters. The lidar vs cameras arguments are good example of this. This is a technical engineering question tha

Oh yes there were. The Jacobian conjecture is "notorious for the large number of published and unpublished false proofs which turned out to contain subtle errors." It's not quite the Reimann hypothesis, but many prominent mat

Well, your takeaway is bad. This isn't image generation, it's tool use with a digital paintbrush.

This is a very well studied problem. Well-known mathematicians have spent a lot of effort on it - Yitang Zhang wrote his entire PhD thesis on it back in 1991. It is deeply unlikely that a random guy at Anthropic just happened to solve it s

You do indeed have your head in the sand, that's for sure. You are desperately searching for ways to excuse it, to explain how it can't be what it obviously is.

It's just a computer program dude. It doesn't have feelings or morals or consciousness. It's a really complex machine, but it's still a machine.

I think this is an error in the leaderboard. Looking at the test logs, they had reasoning effort set to 'high'. So it should be in the CoT category instead of the base LLM category. https://huggingface.co/datasets&
