Amazing.
Gotta love how Lemmy immediately blocks / downvotes anything AI, simply because it’s AI, with no nuance.
Interesting post, thanks for sharing
I posted it because it is really neat, but I think I shouldn’t have. I know many here are psychologically distressed by AI. While I still would post things that are important enough that they should be known, this is probably not it (unless you are a mathematician, but this is not a very STEM community).
“I posted advertisement trash and it’s everyone else’s fault they don’t like it because they’re stupid and I’m smart”
Have you considered therapy? Or at least self flagellation?
Sheesh. You got some self-esteem issues. I didn’t call you stupid. I just observed that some people here are psychologically distressed by AI.
Hopefully whatever personal issue is causing you to act like such a twat to strangers on the internet gets better.
You are a very special person, and people like you.
Good observation and reflection
for one, the term AI has become loaded and anyone using it has to know what kind of baggage comes with it. but for another this isn’t just anything with AI. it’s OpenAI specifically. this is not just a neat science thing it’s a company doing indirect marketing and whitewashing of their tech. trying to get a better image than what i and many think they deserve.
so yes people will not want to let this type of marketing and image whitewashing happen will downvote.
i hope this is the nuance you were missing. it doesn’t change anything on my dislike for this tho. as cool as it might be if you ignore everything else that surrounds this headline.
everything else that surrounds this headline.
Like what?
…all the stuff they mentioned? OpenAI burning our future for profit, fully aware of and entirely unbothered by the sheer evil they’re inflicting, and now presenting their wonderful achievement as a “look, AI can do good (too)!”
Just because it brought a little benefit (“this headline”) that doesn’t justify the collateral damage of the work it happens to be a side effect of (“everything else”).
I don’t actually know what you are talking about. This isn’t about the waste heat of data centers, right?
The nuance I was referencing is that there’s a difference between LLMs being used for consumers and capitalism as a whole, and AI models solving 80 year old mathematical problems. This is what this new technology is best used for, for solving problems no person or computer could solve up until this point. If you’re going to shit on everything because AI bad, then you’re advocating for a world in which science progression grinds to a relative halt. AI is also excellent when it comes to analyzing healthcare data, particularly at identifying cancer. If you were being assessed for cancer, would you tell your oncologist to not use any AI software to help them diagnose? If so, I hope you enjoy literally dying on that hill. If not, you’re a hypocrite who should acknowledge that sometimes AI is good for something, even if that’s the exception and not the rule.
This case of AI models solving mathematical problems is a happy little accident falling off a wagon of problems. This new technology, if it were developed to solve mathematical problems, wouldn’t do nearly as much harm. Alas, the only mathematical problems OpenAI care about are from the realm of Game Theory, applied to corporate decision-making and boil down to “how do I make the most profit relative to the other players?”
It’s like bombing a city to show off your cool bombs, finding a hostile in the rubble and pretending he was your target, as if that would justify all the other people you killed. And now you’re going on about the way bombs can be used to kill bad guys in the context of a bomb manufacturer that doesn’t give the faintest fuck about the bad guys, nor about the children they also killed, so long as the bombs are being bought.
Yes, of course AI can have good sides. Are you really surprised that we’re more concerned about the bad ones right now though?
I think the main problem here is that the source cited is openai themselves
And blocked
