I'm sorry Dave....
 

You know that he gets his brains scrambled for going there, right?

We’re much further away from AGI than most people think.

But when they get to the ASI level, which is even further away, that’s when things are really going to get interesting.

Correct. And thank God for it! :chuckle:

o1 has scanned the link and is planning a move.

“Hey Siri, tell me something good about myself…”

Don’t we have a Canadian to thank for all of this?

He’s off somewhere with his Nobel prize, worried about what’s to come of all this:chuckle:

Illya Sutskever?

He’s one of the brains behind ChatGPT. I’m pretty sure he left and started his own company. I suppose I could Google that to confirm, but I don’t feel like it. lol

An interesting read as well on his views on AI

Google experimental AI answered the question "did a canadian start the ai system?":

Yes, according to current knowledge, Canadians, particularly Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio, are considered key pioneers in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), often referred to as the "godfathers of AI" for their significant contributions to deep learning and neural networks, making Canada a leading nation in AI research and development

Blame Canada..........Again.:chuckle:

Interesting. Because Illya Sutskever is widely considered to be the brains behind ChatGPT and he’s Canadian, too.

Either way … we won’t benefit. In true Canadian style it’ll take some other country to commercialize it :chuckle:

Oh, no. You will commercialize it, but the production costs will be too high, so it will be shipped off shore... to the US. :chuckle:

I'm sorry Dave....
 

I just read that OpenAI is releasing a video generator. It’s called Sora. I’m eager to see all the videos everyone on TRF will create.

At first, it’s going to be limited to 20 second videos. But I imagine it will quickly evolve from there. Everyone will be able to create their own movies before you know it.

Bye Bye Hollywood!


EDIT:

I completely missed this on the other thread. Not sure how, but it’s already being discussed in another active thread.

What is o1 going to do when it meets ‘willow’?

I'm sorry Dave....
 

Yeah, Google’s stock soared today because of this announcement. For perspective, Willow is a quantum computing chip that was able to perform a computation in under 5 minutes that would take today’s fastest computer one septillion years. Septillion is ten to the power of 25 or 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years.

It’s an incredible achievement, but they are at least ten years away before this chip will be market ready and available for any practical applications.

What is really interesting is that this chip could be available right around the same time they reach the level of ASI in terms of AI. That’s when AI might make science fiction movies look silly because it will be far more impressive than any Hollywood depiction of AI to date.

Isn't a septillion 1 followed by 24 zeros?:thinking:

In any event that is quick.:chuckle:

I may be wrong as you are the expert.:cheers:

I was confused by that, too. Septillion is followed by 24 zeroes. That is definitely correct. But I was paraphrasing what I saw in an article, and it states 10 to the power of 25.

I honestly didn’t think anyone on here would catch that. lol. So I didn’t make any effort to modify or qualify any of that. I just let it slide.

Either way, that’s a big number. Here’s a snippet of the article I was paraphrasing.

Pfffft.

My new iPhone can do that. And misspell everhing itexttt.

I was not confused as I read a similar article earlier this week and discussed it with my engineer.

Last line was TIC.

Just pointing out an error I did not expect from you given your often stated background.:cheers::chuckle:

An article written by Google PR-ers , who sat in a marketing meeting, surrounded by engineers telling marketing people all about their estimates based on a problem designed to optimize qubit processing.

How?

I work in I/T and I don't understand quantum computing. So as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't exist.

LOL

The article is quite interesting and a little bit scary. I have been saying for years that AI is just a buzzword (like "the cloud") and is neither intelligent nor artificial. I may have to rethink that now.

The cloud is still a misnomer and total hype, but that's a different thread.

He was an IT executive, not the IT doer that needs to be precise and accurate.:chuckle:

I'm sorry Dave....
 

I was a little confused by whether there is a typo in the article or the author just got it wrong. He stated that it would take ten to the power of 25 or 10 Septillion years. But 10 septillion years is actually 10 to the power of 24.

So did the author mean to say ten to the power of 24 and 10 Septillion years, or is it really ten to the power of 25. That extra zero really matters.

And the source of the article is Google, so you’d expect them to get that right.

I didn’t write the article. I paraphrased what the article stated and admit that I didn’t think it was important to point out the flaw in it.

Relax, you're good. Executives don't need to be on the money, they just need to be prepared to manage the consequences of not being on the money.:chuckle:

Yes I mentioned it.

I've been waiting all year for Sora lol.
