SirPablo posted:FourCastNet is a ML/AI weather model that is demonstrating amazing accuracy. Fast emulators for complex calculations are basically fine, as are various forms of nonlinear optimization for protein folding and such since optimizers are mostly based on arbitrary heuristics, not fundamental math or physics. But these are pretty much the furthest thing from intelligence that anyone dares to call AI and not what most people mean when they object to AI bullshit.

I don’t want to endorse google in any way but I don’t experience 90% of the complaints I’m seeing here but then again I google like 3 things a day and most of them point me to a stack overflow post telling me exactly what I wanted

I learned how to do this like 15 years ago: https://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/ianknot.htm You can tie the knot in 1 second and it doesn't come loose. shazbot posted:I don’t want to endorse google in any way but I don’t experience 90% of the complaints I’m seeing here but then again I google like 3 things a day and most of them point me to a stack overflow post telling me exactly what I wanted It used to be really really good at finding obscure and/or highly specific items if you knew how to work the search queries. Now no matter what you put in for the search query it just points you towards the most-commonly-clicked result which is always, always going to be lowest common denominator garbage. The +reddit "workaround" will only work for so long.

Pepe Silvia Browne posted:do you legitimately not see the decrease in basic functionality with something like Google Search that has occurred over the past decade? it is inundated with Advertisements posing as actual results and the majority of "actual results" are webpages with as little content as possible that has been SEO'd to get even more adviews. my last real search was for a reuters story about appin (indian hack for hire company) and it was the first result prior to that it was books etc. where i just did the title or a broad category like cosmic horror movies and to me the first few results were needs suiting i'm using adblockers, maybe that's part of it?

skooma512 posted:Is this an Alpha Centauri tech quote No, it's from the most reliable source, The Atlantic: https://insidexpress.com/technology/chatgpt-the-atlantic-reveals-how-it-fractured-openai/ The tensions boiled over at the top. As Altman and OpenAI President Greg Brockman encouraged more commercialization, the company’s chief scientist, Ilya Sutskever, grew more concerned about whether OpenAI was upholding the governing nonprofit’s mission to create beneficial AGI. Over the past few years, the rapid progress of OpenAI’s large language models had made Sutskever more confident that AGI would arrive soon and thus more focused on preventing its possible dangers, according to Geoffrey Hinton, an AI pioneer who served as Sutskever’s doctoral adviser at the University of Toronto and has remained close with him over the years. (Sutskever did not respond to a request for comment.) Anticipating the arrival of this all-powerful technology, Sutskever began to behave like a spiritual leader, three employees who worked with him told us. His constant, enthusiastic refrain was “feel the AGI,” a reference to the idea that the company was on the cusp of its ultimate goal. At OpenAI’s 2022 holiday party, held at the California Academy of Sciences, Sutskever led employees in a chant: “Feel the AGI! Feel the AGI!” The phrase itself was popular enough that OpenAI employees created a special “Feel the AGI” reaction emoji in Slack. The more confident Sutskever grew about the power of OpenAI’s technology, the more he also allied himself with the existential-risk faction within the company. For a leadership offsite this year, according to two people familiar with the event, Sutskever commissioned a wooden effigy from a local artist that was intended to represent an “unaligned” AI—that is, one that does not meet a human’s objectives. He set it on fire to symbolize OpenAI’s commitment to its founding principles. In July, OpenAI announced the creation of a so-called superalignment team with Sustkever co-leading the research. OpenAI would expand the alignment team’s research to develop more upstream AI-safety techniques with a dedicated 20 percent of the company’s existing computer chips, in preparation for the possibility of AGI arriving in this decade, the company said.
