I was meaning to imply that yes assuming we had a proportionate amount of birdsong data, would we be able to reverse engineer their flight abilities. I think given the fact that spatial reasoning is nearly universal among species, we can ve

If OpenAI cures ANY form of cancer then I will admit I was wrong. Until then all we have is a lot of hot air coming out of Sam and Dario’s asses

A literal bird brain would outperform an LLM on most spatial reasoning tasks. Extrapolating the core theory of LLMs - that we can reverse engineer reasoning through language - does that imply that if we train a bird song LLM to predict next

This is the fundamental question and don’t you find it interesting that there isn’t a nice clean dashboard on the openAI website where we can go and see this metric progress over the release history? Toby Ord did what he could with public d

Aren’t we past the point of needing benchmarks? If we’re as close to AGI as Sam says then the proof should be in the pudding. OpenAI should build a competing CRM / Figma / Photoshop with a couple dozen engineers and a Dyson sphere

Oh you mean the organization whose intellectual property was stolen by AI labs? Aaron Swartz got 35 years for publishing paywalled JSTOR articles for free while the AI labs are allowed to profit directly from the paywalled material they sto

Funny how nearly all model improvements this year are demonstrated on the subset of use cases where brute force / reinforcement learning is most effective: Robotics (using physics sims) Cybersecurity (red team / blue team) Math (u

Ah, Pascal’s wager used to justify trillions in spending. Not very creative.

China is spending about 15% of what we’ve spent on datacenter buildout. If we’re in a race with them it would seem like they aren’t even trying to beat us.

I wish we did this here in the US. Here it’s the opposite - white collar criminals get “club fed” treatment - good food, comfortable room, tennis courts, etc. And that’s if they’re ever charged at all, which is rare.

Well absent a research breakthrough the only option is “scaling” which according to Sam Altman was logarithmic growth in model ability with number of weights. Of course any stats undergrad could tell you this was a fairytale. Increasing num

No doubt this will be used to justify a government-funded capital lifeline to OAI and Anthropic who are still bleeding cash (irrespective of whether inference is profitable) and may have issues raising more money in the private markets if t

“The autonomous software engineering agent vision is more or less coming to fruition.” Oddly enough no evidence of this is provided. I’ll admit it’s possible to have Claude write 100% of your code - however this is very distinct from autono

Well those efficiency gains have to show up somewhere. It would imply that consumers / customers of these companies are receiving cheaper or higher value services / goods. Thats at odds with current inflation trends to say the lea

Regardless of the facts, it would be a lot better if Jim Carrey directly addressed this. I don’t blame people for falling down conspiracy rabbit holes when someone they look up to dramatically changes their appearance and doesn’t say anythi

Very interesting. Do you have any links to material along these lines?

For the record I can’t wait for the “ideologically based” comments after this trillion dollar Jenga tower comes crashing down. This place will be censored to shit of course. But that won’t stop people like me from rubbing it in. You know be

Anyone can explain why this was flagged?

I don’t consider myself a wizard. You seem a little full of yourself. (That’s putting it charitably. You seem full of shit.)

As if the pro-AI crowd doesn’t have a vested interest in how AI is perceived. Ed Zitron is a journalist. Do you say that about every journalist?

I never said it was useless. But you better be able to quantify the value of something you’re spending trillions of dollars building. This seems like common sense to me.

by therobots927 3mo ago
Would you be able to quantify how useful it is? Trillions are at stake here, so you’ll need to get specific.

AGI is clearly right around the corner. It might not be able to make an accurate diagram of a cancer research study but it’s gonna cure cancer in no time…
