Is Ai coming for your job? (also, updated Ai development)

LLMs at least will never be sentient

To date, the second half of your example have been far more accurate.

Currently, Ai sentience is a pipe dream.

I've managed to get completely contradictory answers by changing the framing of the questions. Also, it was recently tested in simple math and the results weren't pretty. Just do a Google search with something like "AI tested on simple math problems," and you'll get AI's own explanation...

Yup it's very easy to manipulate.

We have some sort of AI chat bot thing coming at my work. I think it's mostly to prevent people from using chatgpt for security reasons though.

That is my sentiment as well.

I fall in with the latter group. They've broken their backs programming it to sound sentient and that's all they'll be able to do. If anyone followed my suggestion and Googled it, you'll see that it's pattern-matching masquerading as logic...

This is project sail, being built about 8 miles from my house , It will be massive, and the power and water requirements are outrageous. Good thing they are building it next a power generating plant and the Chattahoochee River.

FOX 5-

By the numbers:

The scale of Project Sail is immense. At 4.34 million square feet, it is about twice the floor space of the Mall of Georgia and sits on land larger than the Georgia World Congress Center.

The facility would rival the Meta Prineville Campus in Oregon, which boasts 4.6 million square feet, and the 4 million-square-foot Meta Richland Parish Campus currently under construction in Louisiana.

At 900 megawatts, the site will require power just under the total output a modern nuclear reactor can produce. Georgia Power's Plant Vogtle can produce upwards of 4,800 megawatts of power, with four active reactors running.

The nearby Plant Yates produces about 1,300 megawatts of power.

The 900 megawatts could power up to 810,000 homes, depending on the size of the home and season. -

In a field like that I totally agree. Could it get good enough to trust, maybe. There are fields that it even now could be used extensively with very little proofing.

The task of making these LLMs (aka “Ai”) able to discern truth from fiction either comes down to:
- programming literal intelligence, somehow. We’re as close to figuring this out as we are to creating life from a pile of chemicals and minerals, or
- having humans who are relative experts in their fields feeding the LLM correct data - without bias (good luck).

Maybe these machines will be good for simple processes, but in talking with several software engineer friends in recent months, I see little real impact in the near future.

Maybe ever.

On a fundamental level I have my doubts that we have the ability to create something ‘greater’ than ourselves.

Good ole GIGO definitely applies...

You all may already be aware of this, the AI that appears at the top of Google searches is not the same as going straight to gemini.google.com. It is uses a different model and is geared towards more traditional search results. The Gemini site uses more powerful and up-to-date models and can provide more detailed and comprehensive results.

That massive size and power draw, but it will probably employ fewer people than a Publix.

Local governments love to bill these things as job creators. During the construction phases, it does create many jobs, but once completed, not so much. You just don't need that many people to sit around and babysit servers all day long.

These places are a drain on resources, will drive up electric bills, and provide little economic benefit to the local communities that they are forced upon.

They have already screwed up the PC parts industry as prices for components have skyrocketed, especially RAM and storage memory prices. A 2TB SSD I bought for $170 last year is now $432 on Amazon.

The power drain and skyrocketing prices cannot be sustained. I'm ready for this bubble to burst and these companies to fail.

But every watt of electricity used to create a ridiculous AI meme on Tic Toc is a wise use of resources.

 

[Bamaro]

Looks funny until you think about what this AI technology can lead to
