So, you are saying, I should mix my cocaine with twix bars for maximum efficiency? (Would still be stupid, but now more efficiently)??
Might not be efficient, but at least it... Uhhh, wait, what good does it provide again?

I think if you add some twix bars in the mix you have good chances that it wont get worse because of it. Only logical choice is to go the twix route.

I’m not trying to grade on potential but betting on human potential vs AI potential feels like it rewards ourselves for being better vs a machine. Would we have Albert Einstein if we didn’t have Isaac Newton?
applebusch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 hours ago
That’s kind of a false dichotomy. They may be separate today, but there’s no reason to believe we won’t augment human minds with artificial neural networks in the future. Not in the magical cure all fix all way techbros like to sell it, but for like really boring and mundane things initially. Think replacing a small damaged part of some brain region, like the visual or auditory cortexes, to repair functional deficiencies. Once they get the basic technology worked out to be reliable, repeatable, and not require too much maintenance (cough subscriptions and software licenses), there’s no reason to believe we won’t progress rapidly to other augmentations and improvements. A simple graphical interface for like a heads up display or a simple audio interface for direct communications both come to mind, but I’m sure our imaginations will be comically optimistic about some things and comically pessimistic about others. All that to say that any true AI potential will be human potential in time. We won’t stop at making super intelligent AGI. We will want to BE super intelligent AGI. Since we already know highly efficient and capable intelligence is possible (see yourself) it’s only a matter of time until we make it ourselves, provided we don’t kill ourselves somehow along the way.

See, the thing is, I watch piss porn. Hear me out. I told my friend that the thing is, to do piss porn, you kind of have to be into it. You could try and fake it, but it wouldn’t be very convincing. So, my contention is, piss porn is more genuine than other types of porn, because the people partaking are statistically more likely to enjoy doing that type of porn. Which is great, I think, because then they really get into it, which is hot. It’s that enjoyment that gets me off. Their enjoyment.
She said, “Krooklochurm, you’re an idiot. Anyone can fake liking getting pissed in the face.”
So I said, “Well, if you’re so adamant, get in the tub and I’ll piss in your mouth, and let’s see if it’s as easy as you claim.”
So she said, “All right. If I can fist you in the ass afterwards.”
Which I felt was a fair deal, so I took it.
My (formal) position was strengthened significantly by the former event. And I can also attest that I could not convincingly fake enjoying being ass-fisted.
What does that have to do with anything, you ask? Genuinity. The real deal. That’s what.

I completely agree that LLMs aren’t intelligent. On the other hand, I’m not sure most of what we call intelligence in human behavior is any more intelligent than what LLMs do.
We are certainly capable of a class of intelligence that LLMs can’t even approach, but most of us aren’t using it most of the time. Even much (not all) of our boundary pushing science is just iterating algorithms that made the last discoveries.
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 16 hours ago

Human intelligence is analog and predicated on a complex, constantly changing, highly circumstantial manifestation of consciousness rooted in brain chemistry.
Artificial Intelligence (a la LLMs) is digital and predicated on a single massive pre-compiled graph that seeks to approximate existing media from descriptive inputs.
The difference is comparable to the gulf between a body builder’s quad muscle and a piston.

I think the entire idea of ai and the Internet in general taking up power and water needs to be fleshed out and explained to everyone. Even to me it’s a vague notion, I heard about it a few years back but can’t explain it to someone like my parents who would have no idea the Internet requires water to run
asmoranomar@lemmy.world 1 day ago
It’s not too hard. AI requires a LOT of work. Work requires energy. Some energy is wasted during this and the byproduct is heat. The heat has to be removed for many reasons, and water is very good at doing that.
It’s like sweating, it cools you down. But you need water to sweat.

Wasn’t there an article posted yesterday about a group trying to create a biological computer that was living cells do to their efficiency of use on less power? (They are far from close, they basically took skin cells, ionized them, and had no idea how they were going to get them to stay alive long term yet.
fonix232@fedia.io 1 day ago
Even that won't be anywhere close to the efficiency of neurons.
And actual neurons are not comparable to transistors at all. For starters the behaviour is completely different, closer to more complex logic gates built from transistors, and they're multi-pathway, AND don't behave as binary as transistors do.
Which is why AI technology needs so much power. We're basically virtualising a badly understood version of our own brains. Think of it like, say, PlayStation 4 emulation - it's kinda working but most details are unknown and therefore don't work well, or at best have a "close enough" approximaion of behaviour, at the cost of more resource usage. And virtualisation will always be costly.
Or, I guess, a better example would be one of the many currently trending translation layers (e.g. SteamOS's Proton or macOS' Rosetta or whatever Microsoft was cooking for Windows for the same purpose, but also kinda FEX and Box86/Box64), versus virtual machines. The latter being an approximation of how AI relates to our brains (and by AI here I mean neural network based AI applications, not just LLMs).
applebusch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 hours ago
There’s already been some work on direct neural network creation to bypass the whole virtualization issue. Some people are working on basically an analog FPGA style silicon based neural network component you can just put in a SOM and integrate into existing PCB electronics. Rather than being traditional logic gates they directly implement the neural network functions in analog, making them much faster and more efficient. I forget what the technology is called but things like that seem like the future to me.

The massive corporate AI (LLMs for the most part) are driving up electricity and water usage, negatively impacting communities. They are creating a stock market bubble that will eventually burst. They are sucking up all the hardware, from GPUs to memory, to hard drives and SSDs.
On top of all of that they are in such a rush to expand that a lot of them are installing fossil fuel power on top of running the local grid ragged so they pollute, drive up costs, and all for a 45% average rate of incorrect results.
There are a lot of ethical problems too, but those are the direct negatives to tons of people.
mushroommunk@lemmy.today 1 day ago
If AI can do your job in minutes you’re either: A fool pumping out AI slop someone else has to fix and you don’t realize it.
Or

LLMs can’t do more than shove out a watered down average of things it’s seen before. It can’t really solve problems, it can’t think, all it can do is regurgitate what it’s seen before. Not exactly conducive to quality.

Try to play tic tac toe against ChatGPT for example 🤣 (just ask for “let’s play ASCII tic tac toe”)
Practically loses every game against my 4yo child - if it even manages to play according to the rules.
AI: Trained on the entire internet using billions of dollars. 4yo: Just told her the rules of the game twice.
Currently the best LLMs are certainly very “knowledgeable” (as in, they “know” much more than I - or practically any person - do for most topics) but they are certainly far away from intelligence.
You should only use them of you are able to verify the correctness of the output yourself.
fonix232@fedia.io 1 day ago
"See, no matter how much I'm trying to force this sewing machine to be a racecar, it just can't do it, it's a piece of shit"
Just because there are similarities, if you misuse LLMs, they won't perform well. You have to treat it as a tool, with a specific purpose. In case of LLMs that purpose is to take a bunch of input tokens, analyse them, and output the most likely output tokens that is statistically the "best response". The intelligence is putting that together, not "understanding tic tac toe". Mind you, you can tie in other ML frameworks for specific tasks that are better suited for those -e.g. you can hook up a chess engine (or tic tac toe engine), and that will beat you every single time.
Or an even better example... Instead of asking the LLM to play tic-tac-toe with you, ask it to write a Bash/Python/JavaScript tic-tac-toe game, and try playing against that. You'll be surprised.

I hope analog hardware or some other trick will help us in the future to make at least local inference fast and low power.
fonix232@fedia.io 1 day ago
Local inference isn't really the issue. Relatively low power hardware can already do passable tokens per sec on medium to large size models (40b to 270b). Of course it won't compare to an AWS Bedrock instance, but it is passable.
The reason why you won't get local AI systems - at least not completely - is due to the restrictive nature of the best models. Most actually good models are not open source. At best you'll get a locally runnable GGUF, but not open weights, meaning re-training potential is lost. Not to mention that most of the good and usable solutions tend to have complex interconnected systems so you're not just talking to an LLM but a series of models chained together.
But that doesn't mean that local (not hyperlocal, aka "always on your device" but local to your LAN) inference is impossible or hard. I have a £400 node running 3-4b models at lightning speed, at sub-100W (really sub-60W) power usage. For around £1500-2000 you can get a node that gets similar performance with 32-40b models. For about £4000, you can get a node that does the same with 120b models. Mind you I'm talking about lightning fast performance here, not passable.

wabafee@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I think we’re at a point we’re the hardware right now does not fit with the algorithm being used. Since they take so much power due to our computers being digital. Having a transistor only capable of holding 2 state (0V or 5V usually) is eneffecient. The heat add up as you multiply especially with LLMs. There is a push to go back to analog where a transistor acts more on a range 0 - 5v. Which in theory could store more information or directly represent what LLM runs on (floating point). For more context 1 float tends to be 32bits. 1 bit is 1 transistor so 1 float = 32 transistor. While an analog transistor could be 1 float = 1 analog transistor.

1 gram of cocain equals roughly 150 grams of CO2 emissions due to production and shipping etc, plus the effect wears of very quickly. Cocain Als destroys your nostrils, it’s really, really bad. I would advice amphetamine instead. Can also be taken orally, for instance in the medicinal form of dexamphetamine. Another side effect is that you aren’t hungry anymore so you don’t need the Twix. Just dexamphetamine and you are able to achieve your goals better like becoming a dictator (like Hitler, he got daily shots of amphetamine) or invade France if you want (the German army had amphetamine pills which helped them advance into France day and night. The French assumed they would stop during the night to rest but since they didn’t, the French greatly miscalculated and were completely overrun. Thats why you should use amphetamine kids). It also really helps with ADHD to focus on things and think clearly.
