We are not getting "Artificial General Intelligence" from anything like the current systems (or ever, probably). This from Marty Hart-Landsberg:

"All multimodal generative AI systems are built using the same basic architecture, one based on largescale pattern recognition shaped by training data and statistical prediction, which makes it incapable of serving as a bridge to anything resembling AGI. This structure also limits its usefulness. Among the most serious problems: the amplification of biases and falsehoods contained in the training data and the tendency to hallucinate or present incorrect or entirely fabricated information as factual. These problems are a major reason why AI developers felt it necessary to pursue a growth strategy that relied on heavily subsidizing the cost of using their systems."

«KI macht kaputt — Ein Dutzend Beispiele dafür, wie der KI-Hype alles erstickt. Beflügelt von KI?
Wir erleben gerade die größte technologische Disruption aller Zeiten – und wenn nicht die größte, dann sicherlich die schnellste. Enorme Produktivitätssteigerungen, wissenschaftliche Durchbrüche. Sie kennen das Narrativ.»

Gibt es über die KI auch positive Artikel die fachlich und keine Werbungen sind?

Bond investors are more risk averse than stock investors so they call out problems in business models. To build AI data centers investors are requiring rates above 9% coupon on bonds. - almost double the interest for similar non-data center bonds.

In my past life I was a fixed income (bond) analyst, so this very interesting to me, at the intersection of #AI and #Fixedincome. 🤓 #aihype #aibubble

I recommend this blog post everyone as it explains in plain English how #AI LLMs actually work, and why they are fundamentally not fit for purpose:

Yes they can be useful, but the takeaway is that their flaws are FUNDAMENTAL i.e. they cannot be fixed 😳

So we shouldn't be shoving them into everything, especially government!

Well done @Vivaldi for not falling for the #AIhype

OpenAI is coming to Zürich, joining Google, Meta, Anthropic and others. On LinkedIn and Bluesky (hard to tell them apart at the moment), this map of Zürich is making the round, usually with celebratory messaging of the sort "will Zürich be the next San Francisco?".

You know what?
I do not want to continue this ongoing experiment on what happens to a city culturally and socially when it is flooded by lots of venture capital from California.

Thank you for the link and I enjoyed reading through it. My hyperbole was intended to provide a Mines of Moria like description for the current halls of academia. 🙂

Dear OMG,

The faults in Academe and either vein of AI are not where they delve too deep but where they cleave too close to the surface.

OhMyGoodness Says:

The groves of Academe no longer exist. It has become a dark and foreboding place frozen by the relentless winds of Apocalypse.

Dear OMG,

No true mathematician will object to a little hyperbole, not if it focuses attention on the generative dynamics, and as it happens the forces pulling Academe out of kilter are not unrelated to the ones warping AI out of alignment.

On that score, see the following most excellent essay.

Making the ‘Invisible Hand’ Visible
The Case for Dialogue About Academic Capitalism

I think what happened here is a lot of otherwise savvy people missed the significance of AI's transfer from the modestly ethical groves of Academe to the dark satanic engines of corporate industry. When I see people still talking about “AI Safety” and the “Alignment of AI with Human Interests” instead of the “Alignment of Corporate Agendas with Human Interests”, it tells me those people are still missing the bigger picture.
