Alberta doctors are pushing back, saying it contains misinformation and poses a threat to public health.
Of course they are. To not deny it would be to admit that those same Alberta doctors had a hand in killing their patients.
As a kid in the 60s, all three days were celebrated. Which ones were holidays, I don't remember, and I had no knowledge of what a federal holiday even was. Regardless, since then, all three days have been effectively eradicated from our collective memory.
Each iteration of the A.I. is narrower than the one that proceeded it, while the hype is a large multiple of the previous. This current iteration consists of only one technology, neural networks (e.g., large language models), aka, pattern recognition.
The technology is not intelligent, it has no intuition or understanding. However, we are being conditioned to think it is infallible, that it knows more than us, and that it should be controlling us. Besides pulling in easy money, all the buzz around A.I. is to convince us that it is inevitable and can't be stopped.
But it will stop itself: neural networks are reaching the limits of what's possible. To "train" a network requires immense amounts of data, and energy. Each incremental gain in performance, say from ChatGPT 2.0 to 3.0, requires exponentially more data (You are just a data source. Think of this every time you fill out a survey!) to achieve less. The curve of ability is asymptotic.
I didn’t dedicate years of my life serving this great country to be bullied into quitting my career by a bunch of fascists.
Can't even his statement of defiance clear: Is he "serving this great country" or his career?
And they are all talking about being replaced by loyalists. They don't get it, we don't need no stinkin' replacements.
This makes sense, because A.I. as it has come to be defined has an insatiable appetite for new data. All means fair or foul are being commandeered to feed it. Think of this next time you participate in a survey!
The last stand of A.I., which nowadays is limited to neural networks, needs an immense amount of data to "teach" its language models. And since each new release of an app requires an exponential amount more than baseline, A.I. is reaching a ceiling: incremental improvements will get more and more expense to make, and deliver less and less.
I never experienced MLK day as a child or an adult, and didn't mean to imply that I ever did.
I read, or at least read the captions to the pictures in our World Books. Spent a lot of time in volume S because of the Space entry.
