The entire point of this new AI fad is to get people used to asking it instead of searching the net themselves. Now Musk wants to add another one to this mess?
He still can't clean up Twitter
Or release the fauci files...
Think his definition of "end of February" might be different than my definition of "end of februrary"
Truth eh? Now THIS will get interesting!!!!
And I will never use that one, either.
100% . I don't want the "good guys" version of AI. I want NO AI. There is no good that will come of it.
This is a trap everyone keeps falling into. I want NO <insert possibly dangerous tech> here. Its very similar to saying "I want NO guns"
Guns still exists, but only in the hands of criminals.
Same with forbidden tech - if we ban AI, AI will only be available for the bad guys (and possibly have been for a while now, and why they were able to do what they did).
The beauty of AI more than any other tech is how accessible it is to for everyone. Even at this early stage, you can run an AI model almost as powerful as ChatGPT on a highend home computer. With a little more budget, you can even train it with your own data.
You are scared that the bad guys might ask AI how to enslave us? (Actually, they already did). Now you can ask a similarly powerful AI, how to beat that enslaving AI.
Don't be afraid of tech. Just understand all its dangers and how to harness it properly.
I hear you, but sadly I doubt you can ever put that genie back in the bottle. Best you can do is try and limit how people might abuse it. I would prefer if nuclear weapons and bioweapons had never been invented as well, but they were and we can't undo that. Unless you believe in the new age philosophy that you can manifest any world you want merely by wishing it to be true, I think we are stuck with a modern world where weapons of war and AI continue to be a reality.
Maybe I'm wrong. It would be wonderful if that proves to be the case. I don't think I am.
Don’t get too much carried on. I always remember when, around 20 years ago, Google people stated on Slashdot.org that their motto was « Don’t be evil. »
I want to believe in Elon as a white hat and the savior we are looking for, but I am not totally convinced as he would have invested in durable technology, not unsustainable as electric cars.
As far as I'm concerned, you can't be a good guy and push transhumsnism
Elon is now, and has always been, about getting to Mars. Everything revolves around that. "Durable technology", as you call it, doesn't run in an environment without oxygen.
Tesla? Mars. Boring? Mars. Space-X? Mars. Even Neuralink is about Mars. It's hard to operate tools in clunky space suits. Much easier if the tool can read what you are trying to do.
I think this "savior" mode is an after thought for him. He was likely given a choice. Help the whitehats and keep your Mars dream alive, or stay with the globalists and die here on Earth. I personally believe we can trust him, as his goals currently align with ours.
I don't think he's ever been a white hat, but I do believe he accepted q-team offer to switch sides, but that still doesn't Make him a good guy, he's just controlled by a white hat now.
Apparently they recently bough 10,000 A100 GPUs (currently the best for AI). Can easily take on ChatGPT, but why? Language Models are getting open sourced and new models being released every day. People can run them on their home hardware and some are already 90% the level of ChatGPT.
My hunch is that this new thing will be far more than a language model like ChatGPT.
Because Elon has access TB's of data in the form of tweets from a billion people. That is a significant advantage that open source projects don't have.
Remember when Q told us in post 605 about an Internet Bill of Rights? You think that was just so we could post drivel on Fakebook? AI's are a powerful new tool...possibly the most powerful ever made by man. And the algorithm is easy. Getting access to the training data though? That's hard.
My guess? This and the RESTRICT act are the catalysts for it. Watch for some controversy over this announcement by Elon.
I know most people find this very unbelievable, but AI such as ChatGPT are language models, and over training them with, say, billions of tweets of people is actually not effective. It saturates the training and the more you overtrain, the more it starts "hallucinating".
I have tried models that are fraction of the size of ChatGPT that are >90% as powerful as ChatGPT, and can be trained for domain specific data.
ChatGPT was supposed to be this huge leap ahead of the rest that we were never supposed to be able to catch up. Instead, it just made it easy for all of us to reach the same level on our own.
I Elon is focusing on making new models, he is late to the game. He is far better off focusing and research for speeding up the tensor math, for example, or faster algorithms for training/evaluating these models.
Of course, that is only true if you fix the size neural network. If you find your network is overfitting, you can always increase the hidden layers making, in theory at least, a more "intelligent" network. It then becomes a question of whether or not that makes sense for the application at hand. You can never really have too much data. But your point is understood. There has to be a valid reason to build a bigger model.
Sure, bigger models have a reason to be built, but not for general language models like ChatGPT. Sure, if you are gonna build a subject expert or specialized AI doing things we cannot imagine today, you might have to build bigger models.
Billions of twitter conversations, on the other hand, will only yield a generalized LLMs and an overkill at that.
Putting Elon aside, I think some of the emerging tech will be in reducing the current models significantly and making them run on consumer mobile devices. That would be fun.
Think about driving your girl on a road trip and she go’s - well you know. All of that is photographed- and or recorded and sent back to Tesla. Then pervey IT employees post the best (well you know) on the bulletin in the break room and rate them! I’ll still with my 09’ vehicle.
