I'm not convinced LLMs will evolve into general AI. The promises that it's just around the corner feels increasingly like a big scam.

I was using llama3 and deepseek-r1 literally to center an element in a div and they were not able to despite many prompts and variations. I guess I figured it out in the end but I'm not convinced I saved any time vs just carefully rea

not being snarky, but what is the point of using the model if you already know enough to correct it into giving the right answer? an example that just occurred to me - if you asked it to generate an image of a mushroom that is safe to eat i

My aunt is in her 70s and has 5 friends currently with cancer. My belief is that it's downstream effects from Covid wrecking people's immune systems and their ability to naturally fight cancer. Time will tell.

I still find it hard to believe that LLM methods will lead to "true" AI. No amount of processing power or data will be sufficient without something new.

LLMs as they currently exist will never yield a true, actually-sentient AI. maybe they will get better in some ways, but it's like asking if a bird will ever fly to the moon. Something else is needed.

The big question is if OpenAI will achieve "general" AI before their investors get fed up. I wonder if they used the success of ChatGPT to imply that they have a path to it. I don't see how else they achieved such a high valu

I think a few hundred purpose-built nuclear powered CO2 scrubbing plants could be an option. At 1,500 kWh/ton, a 1 GW nuclear plant could capture 5.8 million tons of CO₂ per year which is about 0.015% of global emissions. It would have

I think "LLMs hallucinate facts less often than people" is a strong stance to take at the moment.

If they can solve the hallucination problem, sure. Otherwise we're going to have a lot of people who "know" things about the world that are simply made up.
