[Technology] Artificial Intelligence

[Worried Man Blues]

A 1 links London to Edinburgh, there's danger there

The level of complexity here is absurd. Think of the different aspects of this, the neural programming that allows the AI to understand the written prompts, the understanding of graphical representation, and then being able to turn that all into a functioning game by writing it's own script. The most amazing thing is that ChatGPT was only released 12 months ago, imagine what we can have in the next 12 months.

Blimey

I’m surprised no one’s mentioned San Altman being fired by OpenAI. A move he wasn’t expecting and neither were the San Francisco tech community. There’s a bigger story there somewhere.

ChatGPT maker OpenAI ousts CEO Sam Altman

The firing of Sam Altman and OpenAI's president Greg Brockman, shocked the tech industry and blindsided many employees, who learned the news from an internal message and the company's blog. It came as a surprise to Altman and Brockman as well.

Was my next post. The theories being AGI has been achieved internally and now there's a power struggle over the definition of AGI and the monetisation of said technology. It's certainly huge news, the nature of the sacking and then head developers resigning over the sacking shows there's something huge going on behind the scenes.

or some allegations relating to his siblings.

NSC does have one quite vocal doubter, who I'm sure will be along soon...

The capability of AI is nowhere near as advanced as people think, or boffins would have you believe.

Right on cue

I, for one, welcome our new AI Overlords and looks forward to bouncing The Clamp's posts when the takeover begins.

My son currently works for Meta doing techie stuff across facewank, WhatsApp and Insta. He’s done 6 interviews with OpenAI and has the final one on Tuesday.

We’ve been discussing the relative merits and risks of him accepting an offer, should one be extended.

He’s thinking of a 12-24 month stint before he does his first start up.

It’s gonna be carnage, isn’t it; but for a short-term stint to get the inside skinny in OpenAI maybe not such a dreadful plan. Providing MS continue to fund them adequately following the fallout…

Better to be on the inside of something like this I would have thought.

 

[monty uk]

I wonder if he had an AI algorithm that predicted his sacking?

But then again, I once whether for a (highly successful hi-tech) company that had a resident astrologist who died early and I've often wondered whether he knew that was coming. This company was run by an ex-Buddhist monk and also had a consecrated chapel in one of their buildings. At my interview the ex-monk asked me if I was gay, seemed he wanted to balance the staff composition and everyone was straight. I guess it wouldn't happen now.

Maybe that should be in the bell cheeses thread.

I’m just going by why I’m told by a few people I know in that industry.

It’s genuinely nowhere near as sophisticated as people think it is.

It may well be but not for a while.

I'm not sure there's really a single "it" here - there are numerous 'its".

AI is already revolutionising many industries, such as medicine where it's saving lives, quite literally.

AI improves breast cancer detection rate by 20 percent

Results from a study in Sweden show the potential of using artificial intelligence in mammography.

Scientists excited by AI tool that grades severity of rare cancer

AI is twice as good at grading the aggressiveness of tumours than lab analysis, a study suggests.

Well…..

Part of me thinks I’d give a right bollock to get involved in OpenAI and know the inside track. And a lot of me says SIX interviews? It’s a dreadful modern trend in tech and almost always run by highly insecure and risk adverse management teams.

My coding friend assures me that you'd never trust AI in a million years to code anything you actually want to rely on.

I'm pretty sure I read on NSC a while back that coding would be one of the first jobs up against the wall when the revolution comes.

Can't be worse than the crap they come up with on government IT projects surely?

I'm never sure if I'd consider the government being good at IT to be a good thing.
Considering the amount they mess up now, imagine the damage they could cause once they've mastered become basically competent at computing.

It won't take long to work out that the easiest solution is to kill all the humans.

yeah, I was thinking that as I typed my reply!

I vaguely remember about 30 years ago some tech gurus announcing we were entering the paperless age...

Having a robot GP would be great and would make it much more easier to get an appointment.

Do you think we haven't? The internet has been the biggest revolution since electricity.

Personally, I hand write all my NSC points and print out my daily copy of the Guardian.
