qualudeheart··on AlphaCode2 powered by Gemini performs better than 85% of programmers
Most of my posts here have been satirical or exaggerated. Among those not so has been my aphorism that DeepMind can train a new model faster than you can go back to grad school. You‘d have went back to school for computer science for a Masters‘ degree and by the time you slithered out of that box, AlphaCode 2 slithered out of its box and into your cubicle. No more space for you!

This reads AI generated.
qualudeheart··on Creatures That Don’t Conform
That’s just James Lindsay’s pseudointellectual tripe, and has further roots in some early twentieth century political theorists. You can’t trust Lindsay because he’s a political operative first and a scholar second. I don’t know of any scholars of gnosticism who think gnosticism is connected to LGBT in a serious way.

There are use cases as far as the eye can see. How about copywriting?
qualudeheart··on BabyAGI: An Autonomous and Self-Improving Agent
Can the exponential probability increase mentioned by LeCun be mitigated, for example with an approximation?

Lots of algorithms like nearest neighbor search are O(n^2) but algorithms for approximate results run in sublinear time.

qualudeheart··on The One about AI
AI doesn’t get sad. AI doesn’t get sick. AI doesn’t need to take a break. AI doesn’t need to go to grad school. AI doesn’t need to heal its trauma. AI can just do the thing.

As the internet more closely resembles the prison the users grow more responsible. Just surveil everyone.

qualudeheart··on Indeed laying off 15% of staff, around 2,200 people
You jest but Language Models already increased writer and coder productivity by up to 50%, before GPT-4 dropped. Once we learn to use GPT-4 correctly we will quadruple human productivity. This could cut the number of jobs needed by 75% or it could grow the economy by 300%.
