A famous economist Frugman once said the internet will be no more than a fax machine by 2005. He won the Nobel prize for economics too.

I am just a casual user (am retired so who cares). We have a Sonos and a few other Alexa devices. I am impressed by the questions that Alexa can answer instantly (what was the score of the Orioles game, what was the answer to 25 down of today's crossword puzzle, what is a proteus anguinus salamander) and others.
Not sure that my job could have been replaced by artificial intelligence but I imagine that a lot of them will be. |

The reality is that doing academic writing is really hard. Have to find lots of evidence, develop rigorous models, and do so well enough to satisfy the editors and peer reviewers. In contrast, writing opinion pieces for the New York times largely just requires making stuff up with minimal, if any, research required. It's not a surprise that someone would find the latter career easier and therefore preferable to the former, but he was pretty good at the former.

Sounds like the perfect job for AI.

All those party tricks like generating "art" pictures, or writing essays, is all fun but it doesn't really justify the effort. Problem is, these implementations like ChatGPT are quite good at generating answers that look and feel as if a human had written them, but since it is impossible to trace back where and how anything came from, the result can be anything from absolutely 100% correct to complete to utter nonsense. Everything coming out of an AI needs to be checked and double checked.
Where it is really good at is as acting as some kind of smart search algorithm -this is already used by browsers like Edge- and/or, for example in research, at looking at larger amounts of data and finding relations, correlations etc. Here it is beneficial that the human factor (bias) is not present -although i think OpenAI etc. start to mimick that, too... AI is hideously expensive both to develop and to run. Anthropic founder Amodei estimates the cost to develop a "large language model" from 1 Bio $ upwards. To build and run an AI, you need people who understand how to do that, these are neither many of about, nor do they come cheap. There needs to be a lot of benefit in it to justify the investment. Cant get that kind of return from an automated chatbot on your customer relations website.

Blowing my mind that this NVDA rally is still going. I expected a bit of a slowdown, but as someone that's considered jumping into tech stonkz a few times as a hobby investor, it just keeps blowing my mind that things explode the second it feels like the bubble is about to pop.
This has been a wild ride. 110's fall of 2022 to over 1000 today. |

They sell oil rigs. There will certainly be more competition than there is today for Nvda but as more and more private enterprises seek to develop their own internal ai platforms demand will remain strong into at least 2026.
Fun when it was just a graphics chip and the stock sold for $4/share. Quote:

An interesting take by Michel Barry on AI comming to riders cycling data and race performance: https://cyclingmagazine.ca/sections/...g-even-faster/

I think it even goes beyond what Barry is saying about data. The analysis of video in sport in real time can tell when an opponent is tired, if their movements might indicate an injury, all sorts of things that can be used to shape tactics. I wouldn’t be surprised in the least if it were employed in high stakes poker to analyze facial expressions and link them to cards/betting behaviors over time.
The deductive power of these tools is way more impressive than the generative power currently. And on the topic of AI bias, which is deservedly getting a lot of attention, my strong opinion is that ai tools simply don’t need to take into account information that could drive bias because there’s simply so much other behavioral data available. Iow, the ai doesn’t need to see if you’re in a high-rent or low-rent zip code or look at other proxies for identity which can feed bias because there’s lots of other ways for it to identify propensity for actions, etc. Quote:

I think that it would be interesting for someone to ask a generative AI what is the best way to kill an AI and see if it comes after him.

It's like picking pets.com or Amazon in 1999. In 20 years time there will be a handful of winners, lots of losers, and on the whole we are likely to be more productive as consequence. And on that, some winners may also be losers. Amazon with their Just Walk Out Technology is one. |
