“Cure cancer or whatever”
Fuck all the way off, Altman. You oversell a text generator. You’re not getting a Nobel prize for that.

Kissinger got a Nobel Peace Prize for napalming infants. I wouldn’t put it past them to give Altman one for using more electricity than most countries on glorified autocomplete.

Christmas 1972 saw heavy bombing raids carried out over the North Vietnamese capital Hanoi by American B-52 bombers. All over the world, thousands of people took to the streets in protest. The man who ordered the bombing was at the same time spearheading cease-fire negotiations. The armistice took effect in January 1973, and the same autumn Henry Kissinger was awarded the Peace Prize together with his counterpart Le Duc Tho. The latter refused to accept the Prize, and for the first time in the history of the Peace Prize two members left the Nobel Committee in protest.
not sure that napalming babies is a historically accurate telling of the events. But uh, satire predicts reality i suppose.

To be fair, mRNA vaccines are largely possible due to AI, and not just any AI, but similar approaches that LLMs use. They took NLP (natural language processing) concepts, which were the precursor to today’s LLMs, to generate a bunch of possibilities.
It’s not that far-fetched that similar techniques could be used to cure cancer.

i believe a lot of protein sequencing has been done by AI models as well. It’s a huge boon to specific science industry where you simply need LARGE breadths of processing power, which is traditionally too expensive for humans.

Sam you can’t “effective altruism” a way of making people not using the general purpose AI tools you designed to “cure cancer” to make silly memes or saucy images.
If you wanted to cure cancer, you should have made an AI start up focused on curing cancer. But no, you had to buy into that “Rationalism” logic-circle-wankfest and now you’re disappointed when people aren’t making the “correct” timeless-decisions and “optimising for the future” because they’re regular people that spend their free time touching grass and hang around in person and not debating pointless logic thought experiments with strangers on niche Internet forums.

Can you explain the background for this please?
funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Someone rewrote the first Harry Potter book (I’m not kidding) to be about Harry using magic to do essentially eugenics, Sam took it seriously.
From that fanfic, the Rationalist / Effective Altruism people believe that as more people exist in the future than in the present, making an AI singularity that would behave as a God is more important than, e.g. curing cancer, or providing clean drinking water.

fun fact! on Voyager (Lemmy for mobile app) you can’t read the title because it’s a quote due to a bug.
for those who can’t read it, the title is:>meme arrows
I also submitted a bug report and a fix is on the way :)

lolwut why does markdown work in post titles
KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
because markdown is a mess.
There are like 5 standard implementations, though technically commonmark is the most widely utilized, and like a billion other ones outside of it.
Zero implementations of commonmark are even similar to each other.
I mean we’re talking about web devs here, they aren’t exactly the brightest of the bunch, or well, any bunch.

I’m not fond of Elon but I get the Altman hate.
ocean@lemmy.selfhostcat.com 3 weeks ago
you phrase that as if Elon isn’t a Nazi who comes from colonial money
GNUmer@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks ago
Fair. My statement with historical context would be along the lines of “I’m not fond of Goebbels but I get the Speer hate”.

Unsolicited formatting help
If you want to see the arrows and not format as a quote throw some backslashes in front of the less than signs.
\> Typing this > Gets this
Otherwise, if you want to get rid of the gaps between the quote lines then put less than signs on the empty lines.
> Typing > > this

Unsolicited naming advice
Less Than points to the left
<(shape of an L), while Greater Than points to the right>(I got nothing other than it’s not an L).I believe it’s because we read from left to right, so the prominent number is on the left (I.e.,
8 is less than 10=8 < 10).Anyways, great advice! Carry on!

Shoot, there’s another way that involves turning the entire comment into plaintext code but I can’t remember the method.

i believe if you do a double space at the end of each line it also stops automatic word wraping. Cute little trick. IDK why it works that way, it’s kind of stupid, but whatever.
