Artificial Intelligence

[CNS]

I just want to be able to yell at it like an old man that doesn't understand things, and gets confused easily, and have the AI do the exact thing I wanted, exactly how I wanted it.

This is indisputably the most interesting time to be alive in human history.

Imagine the convergence over the next 20 years on so many things that are exploding:


1. Generative AI

2. Quantum Computing

3. Fusion power

4. Medical breakthroughs such as mRNA and dna tech

5. Optical recognition tech (e.g. advancements from the self driving research)

6. Robotics tech (e.g the cool crap Boston Dynamics and others have been doing)

7. Space tech

8. Connectivity with wireless tech (e.g. 5G) and continued fiber build out

9. Battery technology (e.g solid state, etc.)


What an amazing rough ridin' time to be alive.

Pete being amazed that technology continues to grow exponentially is a lot of fun.

Cross post with the non-political economy thread, but we really do have some great potential to expand productivity tremendously.

My son plays Helldivers (I can’t because I was raised Xbox) and they have this political system called managed democracy. Here’s what it is…

“Super earth is run on "managed" democracy, meaning all elections and voting is Al assisted. Each voting person is surveyed by the Al about their beleifs, desires, opinions and then helps them vote for the right people by doing it for them”

That’s a really handy use for artificial intelligence.

Who controls the artificial intelligence? Or is it just self realized and writes its own code?

Can you preset it to act on hatred of a specific group and little man syndrome?

Better yet, can the platform proactively erase those that are constantly enraged because they don't get their way at all times and because others may not agree with them (an exception for young children and adolescents of course)

There are AI companies that fully intend to be able to let people make their own AI generated porn. You could even put yourself in the porn. ChatGPT is actually considering it.  There are so many other AI models out there now that the mainstream AI’s will have to consider it lest they risk loosing market share.

Porn has always been the first adopter of new tech. However, I don't think anyone had "porn actor" down as the first expected job eliminated by AI.

If ai can do something better than us already should we really be wasting our time teaching it to kids?

This was kind of my thought. It could serve certain functions. But there are nuances that still need to be taught. Still, I do think that teachers should be worried (more than they already are, based on a number of things).

Meh

Seems like law is far more likely to be impacted.

AI is probably not great at classroom management (unless it is one of those drone machine gun things)

Creative interpretation of the law is still beyond AI’s reach. Also, the risk of hallucinations by the AI is a problem. It paralegals might be in trouble.

I use ChatGPT near daily on BI dashboard development and SQL trouble shooting. It's become really useful.

Is this what you do or something you picked up as a side?

I ask because I have been wanting to jump into Power Automate and BI to try to make my current excel templates automate more of what I do.

If a guy is good with excel(not to the point where I know how to code, but am really good with formulas) is the above something you think would be easily picked up? 

I bought a couple of Udemy classes but haven’t gone through them yet.
Thoughts?

I have been using Tableau and PowerBi professionally for about the last year. Yes ChatGPT will significantly enhance your technical ability.  The learning curve is prompt engineering(asking it the right questions in the right way). Udemy is great too, I like Maven Analytics but there are a lot of other good ones out there too. Feel free to shoot me a dm if you need a sounding board once you get started with it.

Good to hear. I have been messing with GPT pro for several months now. I turn it on when driving and ask it all kinds of stuff. It definitely helped me learn how to ask it better prompts.

It’s already a remarkable thing. It’s going to make so many things so many things more intuitive, more accessible, and more useful.

Honestly, you have to lean into AI if you're in any kind of professional field. And I'm not even sure if it's "AI" as much as large-language models.

Yea it's a wave and you can either swim out and ride it or get swept away by it.

It’s going to gut so many things.

I wonder if AI can figure out a way to not use so much energy that each prompt is the equivalent of dumping out an entire bottle of water. Per prompt. Yowza. (Im assuming they are getting this number because the data centers are using direct evaporative cooling)
