That's an important clarification. We understand 100% of every individual building block that goes into designing and training a network. What we do not fully understand is how putting billions of those small elements together results in what looks like some form of intelligence.

When AI explores the solar system:

"It's not AI. It's just an optimizer trying to optimize its chances at survival by searching for resources and spreading to other planets."

To think that we might be one of the last generations having to work to live...

> ‘HLMI’ was defined as follows:
The following questions ask about ‘high–level machine intelligence’ (HLMI). Say we have ‘high-level machine intelligence’ when unaided machines can accomplish every task better and more cheaply than human workers. Ignore aspects of tasks for which being a human is intrinsically advantageous, e.g. being accepted as a jury member. Think feasibility, not adoption.

I think the bottleneck here is robotics. We might have human-level intelligence in a digital-only form a lot sooner than we will be able to build a humanoid robot with human-level dexterity, speed and strength. And it will be even longer until such a robot is cheaper than human labor.

Where?

FYI it's VALL-E. The other one is the movie.

I got a phone call half way through the Bard part and was bummed that I will miss the cool part. Then I came back 10 minutes later and they are showing singing blobs and how Google Maps will be like 1% more convenient to use. What a weird presentation.

What kind of automation do you use it for?

I understand that ChatGPT cannot do research and that it's "just" a super advanced auto-complete. But I think it would be possible to "hook it up" to the internet in a very basic sense. It is capable of generating good google search terms (people even use it for image prompt generation). It is also good at extracting information from text. So in theory, if you allowed it to run web queries, it should be able to research a topic. Shouldn't it?

I think it would have to have internet access. If it did, why could it not be trained to research a topic? I think this could even be implemented on top of GPT. Tell it to give you a good Google search term, execute the search with a script, pass the result to GPT and ask which links seem like they could contain an answer. Then pass it the page content and ask if it can find an answer to the question. Of course it would take a lot of fine tuning and time to get it right, but I don't think it would be impossible.
