@ElleGray Yup. Even Barron’s is questioning the hype at this point: “Nvidia Was the Stock Market’s Biggest Strength. Now It Could Be Its Biggest Weakness.” https://www.barrons.com/articles/nvidia-stock-biggest-strength-weakness-fc35c9f5
And the last line in the article: “It might not be the robot’s choice, but if the AI trade has run its course, you could do worse than the Dow.”
Spot on…
Not an AI fan… at least not the way the capitalist class will attempt to use it to devalue labor.
But…
@ElleGray I can remember the impossible cool and trendy ID magazine saying the internet was for nerds, and it was a fad and was going to die out.
5 years later, when the whole thing crashed - ha. They were right.. 20 years later... well.
Meantime - check this out : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewLMYLCWvcI
It gets GPT to make up 25 different hospital team-members with different back-stories and different areas of expertise, then gets them to play a sim-city type game 10s of 1000s of times. In so doing their IRL diagnostic abilities improved - making them hands down best at around 93%. - nearly 10% better than GPT on its own.
(this is the difference between the machine that beat Kasperov, and the machine that beat the world Go champion - The chess machine was trained on human games, The Go machine made up its own simulations)
I don't know how much better than a human doctors 93% is, but given my experience as a massive hypochondriac, I'd be guessing that it is already a LOT better. 1 point of perspective is worth 80 points of IQ though - so I would put my trust in it yet, but who are the insurance companies going to go with?
Beyond that, who's going to be first to turn this into a weapon? Finance? Law?
What happens when 8 billion people suddenly get access to 93% bar-exam-passing legal-representation all at the same time?
Well geez all these marketing “geniuses” could have just stuck all their money and resources in Game Stop after all it went up 73% today thanks to the dipshit factor.
And one thing is certain about Jim Cramer and a whole lot of these motherfuckers.
They’re definitely dipshits.
signals the beginning of the end
Not really. You should see how some Tech people are rushing to show off (and being cheered about) how brilliant they are by talking about the subjects of their AI-related courses - Linear Algebra, mathematical functions, Linear Algebra, Statistics, Probability and Calculus.
That's from June 2023, FWIW. https://buildr.com/newsletter/6-8-23-chatgpt-finish-this-building/
(I don't believe AI is going away, far from it, but there is certainly a massive bubble and a future that will be littered with dead startups.)
Good burn. A bit ironical that the alt text for this photo is auto-generated and has errors. 🙂
@ElleGray Once again humans show pretty well how shortsighted we are:
"AI" is not gonna take jobs, entrepreneurs are gonna choose machines over humans because they're cheaper.
We need to fix the horrible culture of systematically dehumanizing and cheapening humans until they're squeezed for all they can produce and paid as little as possible so they can keep being squeezed.
The problem is not technology, the problem is that our current model raises greedy psychotic bastards to the top.
@ElleGray End for whom? AI or construction?
I can't see a future without any.
