  • The pace of AI progress is dynamic and depends on how you define “progress.” Here are a few factors to consider:

    Areas of Rapid Progress:

    1. Generative AI: Models like ChatGPT, DALL-E, and others have advanced significantly, with improvements in realism, efficiency, and usability.
    2. Application-Specific AI: AI applications in healthcare, finance, and creative industries are becoming more refined and widely adopted.
    3. Hardware Advances: New chips like NVIDIA’s GPUs and specialized AI processors are speeding up AI computations, enabling larger and more complex models.

    Signs of Slowing Down:

    1. Diminishing Returns on Scaling: Larger models often bring smaller performance improvements relative to their size and cost.
    2. Compute and Cost Barriers: Training state-of-the-art models requires immense computational resources, which can limit innovation to a few big players.
    3. Regulation and Ethical Concerns: Increased scrutiny and regulation could slow the release and development of new AI systems.
    4. Bottlenecks in Data: High-quality data for training is becoming harder to obtain, and there are growing concerns about data privacy and ethics.

    Perspective:

    While some aspects might appear to be slowing down, others are evolving rapidly. Shifts in focus from building “bigger” models to creating “smarter” and more efficient ones may redefine progress in a more sustainable way.

    What’s your take? Are you seeing specific areas where you feel progress is slowing?





  • K? K what? The letter before L? The letter after J? Did you know that in JK the K stands for “kidding?” So your reply is “kidding?” or K as in Potassium? Do you need some Special K for breakfast? K as in I can K/O you? Can I knock you out and feed you to hungry sharks? Sharks have a K in it. “K”? Are you fucking kidding me? I spent a decent portion of my life writing all of that and your response to me is “K”? Are you so mentally handicapped that the only letter you can comprehend is “K” - or are you just some fucking asshole who thinks that with such a short response, he can make a statement about how meaningless what was written was? Well, I’ll have you know that what I wrote was NOT meaningless, in fact, I even had my written work proof-read by several professors of literature. Don’t believe me? I doubt you would, and your response to this will probably be “K” once again. Do I give a fuck? No, does it look like I give even the slightest fuck about a single letter? I bet you took the time to type that one letter too, I bet you sat there and chuckled to yourself for 20 hearty seconds before pressing “send”. You’re so fucking pathetic. I’m honestly considering directing you to a psychiatrist, but I’m simply far too nice to do something like that. You, however, will go out of your way to make a fool out of someone by responding to a well-thought-out, intelligent, or humorous statement that probably took longer to write than you can last in bed with a chimpanzee. What do I have to say to you? Absolutely nothing. I couldn’t be bothered to respond to such a worthless attempt at a response. Do you want “K” on your gravestone? Do you want people to remember you as the asshat who one day decided to respond to someone with a single letter? “Hey, look, everybody! It’s that “K” guy!” That’s who you are. You’re going to be known as the “K” guy. How does it feel? Do you feel happy? Quite honestly, I don’t care, which is why I’m not even going to respond to you. Goodbye, and good luck with your future as that guy who said “K”

    That’s a nice pasta.
