This is a whole new level of botnet. Enslave people’s AI. Would be useful if you’re trying to distill the model.

Literally the plot of Dandadan, really good anime.

Actually now that it’s being brought up it would be interesting to see the allotment of funds and compute in relationship to types of neural nets. I really can’t confirm or deny what you are saying. That said different labs seem to have taken different approaches.

Yes and no. Some extremely impressive things have been accomplished already. Alpha fold was very successful just to name one smaller and older project. The recent proof of the planar unit distance problem is very notable. The list goes on and on. There’s some legitimate gold in those neural network hills, it’s just not consistent.

If all this data center building and investment is a bust aka their next super model doesn’t deliver on all the promises they’ve made it’s going to make the 2008 financial crisis look cute.

Scared they’re totally leveraged and people will call their bluff before their super compute is built or the super compute will have diminished returns aka the investment is a wash. If this goes bust it will make the 2008 global financial crisis look cute.

Chimps together strong.

It seems the issues brought up can be broken down into two lines from the article

the community needs to figure out how to use A.I. “in a way that will maintain human understanding of the mathematics.”

A.I.- generated papers and proofs that have turned out to be incorrect, and in ways that are difficult for mathematicians to discern.

The latter of which is plaguing software developers already who are spending more time debugging vibe code than it would take to write code themselves. The former is more intriguing though in that it would signal glimpses of super intelligence aka cognitive powers beyond top tier experts in a field. Definitely should encourage us all to solve the control problem although major AI labs across the global have seemingly thrown caution Into the wind to solve the funding / cash flow problem first.

Yeah that’s what the large hadron collider is for, everyone knows that.

I wanted to research it myself since I didn’t know how Redbox flow batteries operate. It is two giant tanks of liquid energy. When there’s extra electricity from wind or solar, pumps move special vanadium-based liquids through a stack of cells, storing that energy as a chemical change. When electricity is needed later, the process runs in reverse and the liquids generate power for the grid. Unlike lithium batteries, the energy is stored in the liquid tanks, so making the battery bigger is mostly a matter of building larger tanks. The Swiss project will store about 2.1 GWh of energy—enough to help balance renewable power on a massive scale—and was chosen partly because redox-flow batteries are non-flammable, long-lasting, and can be cycled tens of thousands of times with little degradation

Did he pass out?

Funny enough, that line can also be interpreted as “thou shalt not murder” which really changes the meaning. I prefer the standard translation though as a pacifist.

I thought creating echo chambers and dopamine loops was the whole point. Kinda reminds me of this CGP Grey video
