#12Some body compared AI as something like a big boulder rolling down a mountain, decimating anything that lies in its path. After giving it a bit of thought, I feel that what humanity is doing with LLM is exactly that. The problem is not that it is super smart. It is that it is super dumb and super powerful. Like a boulder falling down. Humanity is like this bunch of utter morons who has rolled a big boulder up a big m…
The right tool for the job. There are tasks for which LLMs are unbelievably helpful. In programming, used well, it can 10x your productivity. (Well maybe not literally, but Nx for non-trivial N.) I've seen really good programmers become even faster since the LLM is doing the grunt work for them and the code produced in the end is just as top notch quality as they produced before, just that now they are much faster.
Of course you can misuse it. Produce mountains of unmaintainable slop, full of issues. But that's true for every tool. Before LLMs already, and there will be future tools too.
So, careful with generalizations please. It's not all just dumb.

#13I'd imagine that OpenAI would try to stagger their announcements, rather than publishing them recently close to each other. Is this because their previous post (about navier stokes problem) was met with controversy?
I genuinely think that AI has accelerated so many different things that announcements from all companies will be incredibly common and fast. In my own company, the last 2 months, I feel like we've made more feature announcements to our internal staff than they can handle. AI has genuinely made us that much faster. In the past, making one of these announcements every month and the company celebrated. Now we're making…
I apologise if this sounds mean spirited, I find posts like these making grand claims without taking the time to present facts that back the magnitude of these claims simply add noise to the discussion.
You could've stopped with just the first sentence and I've would learned just as much as I did reading that comment to the end.

Yes I agree. AI has fundamental problems but a lot of "AI sucks" is the huge, trivial capability for misuse.

They are desperately rushing to IPO before the bubble bursts.
AI just solved a millennium prize problem. In a matter of days. Because of a rumor that someone else solved the same problem with AI.
What exactly would AI have to do in order to not be called a bubble?

This is just a blogpost, rather than a major announcement (FLT proof was closer to the latter than the former)

Many will disagree and say that anything done by humans is by far superior to anything done by machines. You don't want to correct them, do you?

At the rate this field is accelerating maybe this IS staggering

You don’t understand what a bubble is. How good the technology is is irrelevant. That has nothing to do with an economical bubble. It’s all about massive capital misallocation driven by a frenzy of FOMO, which is specifically the case for AI investments. Economically speaking what is happening is the most obvious bubble possible, it follows everything that would be expected from a bubble where companies are chasing an ill-defined grandiose dream, based on a new technology we don’t understand and has very dubious ROI, selling some vague future utopia, allocating massive amount of capital to build infrastructure dedicated to a very early versions of that technology.
As things mature there will be a correction, ie the bubble will pop.
