- EternalFuryIt does seem good, but it’s slow.
- I was going to say something, then I realized my cynicism is already at maximum.
- Is it just me or does it feel like billionaires of that ilk can never go broke no matter how bad their decisions are? The complete shift to the metaverse, the complete shift to LLMs and fat AI glasses, the bullheaded “let’s suck all talents out of the atmosphere” phase and now let’s freeze all hiring. In a handful of years.
And yet, billionaires will remain billionaires. As if there are no consequences for these guys.
Meanwhile I feel another bubble burst coming that will hang everyone else high and dry.
- They learn the value of specific actions in specific contexts based on the rewards they received during their play time. Specific actions and specific contexts are not transferable for various reasons. John quoted that varying frame rates and variable latency between action and effect really confuse the models.
- 100%
- What John Carmack is exploring is pretty revealing. Train models to play 2D video games to a superhuman level, then ask them to play a level they have not seen before or another 2D video game they have not seen before. The transfer function is negative. So, in my definition, no intelligence has been developed, only expertise in a narrow set of tasks.
It’s apparently much easier to scare the masses with visions of ASI, than to build a general intelligence that can pick up a new 2D video game faster than a human being.
- Such a weird move. They must have too much cash because they are not buying GPUs from Jensen.
- It costs someone something, but no one their freedom. Mass ignorance is the opposite.
As for degrees with no use, pretty sure these are the byproducts of education for profit, with heavy marketing passing as administrative expense.
Maybe you could divide the system in two halves: 1) Of national interest, 2) Discretionary.
As for earning potential, it has nothing to do with free education, as so many high-earners in the US were educated by such systems.
- If anything in any country should be free, it should be education. And, obviously, the administration of education should never be a for-profit venture.
Valuing democracy and being able to select sensible leaders depends on it.
- Yes, you must be able to recognize the right answers and separate them from the hallucinations and crappy engineering. Maybe it’ll get to a point where even people who don’t have a clue can click Apply and never have to worry, but it’s not quite there yet. If it does get there, I’ll find another occupation; it’s not like my job ever defined me as a person.
- I have been doing this for 30 years now. The software industry is all about selling variations of the same stuff over and over and over. But in the end, the more software there is out there, the more software is needed. AI might take it over and handle it all, but at some point, it would be cruel to make humans do it.
- Isn’t this equivalent to maximizing latent space activation without corrective user input? How does it implement self correction or backtracking?
- What’s the time and space complexity of the new approach?
- Business as usual. While electricity is remarkable, no one gets extremely rich selling it. End-user value is the only value that can be sold at a profit.
- I know. The question is: How much of the Internet trove, including the smart bits, but also the tremendous amount of inane content, is actually useful to building the foundation that allows 1,000 problems to have such an effect?
- Just imagine a textbook that gives you the understanding you need to score high in math competitions…and it describes less than 1,000 problems. This in itself is a major discovery in metacognition.
- o1-preview, o1, o1-mini, o3-mini, o3-mini (low), o3-mini (medium), o3-mini (high)...
What's next?
o4-mini (wet socks), o5-Eeny-meeny-miny-moe?
I thought they had a product manager over there.
They only need 2 names, right? ChatGPT and o.
ChatGPT-5 and o4 would be next.
This multiplication of the LLM loaves and fishes is kind of silly.
- That’s such a show of confidence! It’s an entirely different driving world over there. Particularly in terms of what is expected outside of what is mandated. Looking forward to trying it.
- Not at all at first. More and more since the pandemic.
- Your estimate is dead on. My first was born in 2005 and my second in 2009. Social media and the early sexualization it brought were a problem for sure. But pretty much every interaction with these devices is messing with dopamine regulation.
