@achim I agree that most probably #ChatGPT won't help us solve the climate crisis or world hunger. At least not in a direct way. But I also deem it a bit unfair to dismiss all AI technologies as baseless hype without any scientific merit. #AlphaFold changed protein folding research forever, and #AlphaTensor recently found a faster matrix multiplication algorithm (https://www.heise.de/news/AlphaTensor-AI-system-speeds-up-matrix-multiplication-with-new-algorithm-7288780.html). Thus, I would be more than happy to see the advent of a coding AI advancing #OpenSource developments. :)
AlphaTensor: AI system speeds up matrix multiplication with new algorithm

With Deep Reinforcement Learning, DeepMind has discovered an algorithm no human thought of. It is supposed to significantly accelerate matrix multiplication.

When ever I see a cool new result in #ComputationalMath, I like to see if I can replicate it. So, last month when that Nature article came out about #MatrixMultiplication formulas from #AlphaTensor I set out see if I could get their formulas and verify them symbolically.
I was able to do that and of course they were right. But I was excited to see Kauers and Moosbauer publish a response a couple days later. So, here's their results replicated in a Maple Jupyter notebook https://github.com/johnpmay/MapleSnippets/blob/main/KMtoFFM.ipynb

Finally got a chance to review the #AlphaTensor paper from @AlhusseinFawzi and team @DeepMind. Interesting piece and trajectory.
But the response from @ManuelKauers and @jakobmoosbauer in their paper "FBHHRBNRSSSHK-ALGORITHM", beating Deepmind's 5x5 matmul by 1.
The abstract reads somewhere between a tongue and cheek, "lets poke fun at this" comment and a literal shitpost, and I’m not over it.

The question of course is how much @googlecloud time does @DeepMind now get to take back the record?

Families of specialized hardware becomes normalized and increases flops/sec by >10x.
Matrix algebra becomes 50% more efficient with new algorithms #AlphaTensor.
Such specifications get abstracted into #Jax … TF and Torch become deprecated.
Early proof-of-concept advancements in RL lead by #selfsupervised learning on how-to videos.
Generative AI becomes commonplace in CGI, GameDev, WebDev, Marketing for economic reasons, displacing many creatives.
