Elon said early on, we’re summoning the demon

I was having a conversation with a buddy the other day and our conclusion is that none of this crap is AI. It’s bigger storage. Faster search algorithms. And big data mimicking intelligence.

Non of this BS is even close. There is no existential threat as long as they just keep piling on more code to try and look intelligent.

When AI comes… if it comes… it will come with very little code. No database links. And probably from biological-based chips. Which were a research branch 20’years ago but largely fizzled when storage got cheap.

Musk is 100 percent right that AI is an existential threat. Fortunately even the work he is doing creating/training it is still just big data.

Chatgpt is 60,000 GPUs and counting. And thousands of AI engineers and hundreds of thousands of classifiers who provided intelligent responses. . It can’t reproduce itself. It’s to computers what encyclopedia Britannia was to the printing press.

You would think somebody would have learned a lesson from OS/2.

You don’t make a program faster or better by assigning more engineers to write more kloc!

For anyone who remembers a KLOC was 1000 lines of Code. That ended well!!!

It’s not really comparable to conventional programming. Machine learning really does benefit from scale and gets better and faster overall with scale. We do something similar in another field and have over 30 million unique curated items with from ten to twenty orthogonal classifications of each. We deal with billions of images a year. Our models can get us meaningful results on anything new with 99.9% accuracy. There are people who are much more accurate than the model but your average person off the street is not even with training.

I think a better measure of output is either new test cases or new story points, not lines of code.

And there are massive differences between programmers. Your best programmers who actually understand things from top to bottom can individually replace entire teams and come up with concepts to tremendously automate or streamline things.

I started programming in Junior High. By my first real job coding I used a LISP compiler to write c programs to input files, create tables, write plsql, and automated test cases from a given file spec. One months work in a day. Two thousand lines of code In an hour. In another job I automated and instrumented everything having to to with the software development from end to end for a large defense shop which made it clear to leadership only ten percent of the staff did the work. In another I wrote code to upgrade binary report files that solved a ten thousand man hour problem in a day.

I think the Vax VMS system is still the best ever written. DEC even had a viable PC on the market but missed the PC revolution. It’s a shame as we’d likely be much further along and much more secure.
 
Let's not forget CERN too.
Let's also not forget there are at least a couple more supercoliders 2 of which are in our own country.
They know there is something else. How?
They are smart enough, advanced enough to scientifically a nd mathematically catolog and measure all the mass in the universe.
All there calculations so far, say that 92% of the mass in the universe is "missing". They KNOW there are other dimensions and they are trying like the devil( tongue in cheek) to open portals to these dimensions.
One scientist was quoted, "We want to open them to see what comes out, and see if we can send something through. They will succeed.
Rev. 9 read it.
9:11

And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
