My read: OpenAI & Anthropic have realized they are reaching model capabilities that cannot be monetized -> too risky. Product liability issues. Fundamental control problems with current gen AI are not solved via RFLH.…
Isnt the sensory grounding even in abstract cases some (limited) intuition that simulates in a mental world model?
This seems temporary. AI generated images will become the norm for many applications. Today we wonder whether a model in an advertisement is real or generated, 5 years from know this wont even be an interesting thing to…
I wonder, how does distillation deal with unprobed spaces in the knowledge landscape? Is a distilled model worse in some niche area that was not probed? Presumably, this is why frontier labs dont distill their own…
I wonder how much of the sloppy feeling is created by the knowledge that its AI generated.
Sure, but if we continue that analogy it does mean that there will be no human contributions to frontier mathematics.
Accelerationists may argue that the eroding of proper attribution and proof verification by humans is a meaningless short term struggle of a dying field. Mathematics seems to be entering an era where human + machine…
Perhaps P=NP. The new algorithms are handed down to us. We can apply them without fundamentally understanding why P=NP.
"Generative AI is art. It’s irredeemably shit art; end of conversation." I think most people cannot destinguish between "genuine" creativity and an artificial almalgamation of training data and human provided context.…
There is genuine value in a wisdom of the crowds assessment of future events that is only sharpened up by the requirement to put money on the line.
AI tools are here to stay. They will start to creep into everything, everywhere, all the time. Either you recognize the moment at which it becomes a significant disadvantage not to use them (I agree that moment is not…
If you take the ambitions of robotics and AI companies seriously then what they are trying to create is the equivalent of unleashing 100 million cloned copies of the smartest and most well adjusted people you know upon…
How about "bleeding edge"
Couldn't Google just do it better though?
I'm a genetic engineer at a large pharma company. We corrected the HTT gene in patient derived iPSCs in the lab. The region is a long repeat sequence of which a section needs to be deleted. Because of this the locus is…
One would probably engineer these cells with a killswitch, such as doxycycline induced Caspase9 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1895037/. The transgene engineering is totally possible without a viral vector. We…
Let me clarify that I dont think any of what I described is a given. I think its one of the more likely outcomes of our future. I think its prudent to own a small amount of Bitcoin (or basket of cryptocurrencies) in…
Bitcoin is the only immutable peer to peer system ever created (barring advances in quantum computing, and even then the protocol can be updated). In a world headed toward web 3.0, generative AI content & virtual…
Obviously, an LLM is in a perfect position to decide whether an add can be "injected" into the current conversation. If you're using it for creative writing it will be add free. But chances are you will also use it to…
I added my credentials to address the "malicious scientist" scenario that some people may associate with leaked genetic information. You dont need an individual's genome to create rather dangerous gentic weaponry. For…
The impact of lifestyle is undeniable and large. Good genes will not protect your body from alcoholism. And if I were a betting man, I would bet against determinism emerging from a better understanding of combinatorial…
For the vast majority of people lifestyle is much more deterministic than genetics. There are a few exceptions causing relatively deterministic adult onset diseases: Huntington, APOA4 homozygosity, FAP, BRACA mutants.…
We are on the cusp of being able to plow through vast quantities of literature and data in an instant using multimodal machine learning models. Journal articles are written for people. The landscape is changing. We are…
