For the record, I’ve made no specific predictions about the timing of when General artificial intelligence might occur, nor am I certain that it will ever happen.
I’m not sure I want it to happen, because it may not make things better.
As you probably know, Geoffrey Hinton left Google to warn people about the dangers of AI running out of control.
I was thinking of Quantum 
And that will happen en masse… happening now in limited cases.
BTW I think Quantum is the computing breakthrough required for next gen AI.
Hey, you managed to use both of the latest buzz words on your list in one sentence! 
This is worthy of a longer post next week when I am back from Norway.
The modern chess engines use a combination of traditional tree based search techniques (minimax/alpha beta based algorithms or monti carlo tree simulation MCTS) with neural nets (either large transformer nets or small efficient nets) which are trained on positions from millions of training games (computer versus computer). The neural net has replaced the old human handcrafted position evaluations. Stockfish still uses some human based learning/logic in its endgames but leela zero is based entirely on its own intuition based on training games. Stockfish has been using leela training data for some time now. The engines have become dramatically stronger in the last 3-5 years and are getting stronger and stronger every month based mostly on better training data and refinements to the neural network architectures. A topic I can discuss for ages.
That’s very interesting Badger1.
Thank you for letting us know that.
Started playing on chess.com the first time over a year ago and really enjoyed the puzzles especially as well as the one week per move games with a friend of mine in London.
I started getting obsessed with it and my puzzle writing went up over 2000, But then I had to stop because it was interfering with my work.
Writing about it the other night made me look at it again, and my son and I jumped on the site and started playing again, and I’m trying to make sure I don’t get involved too heavily this time.
Although I do really enjoy it.
The training programs they have on there are brilliant.
One of my daughters introduced me to the ChatGPT app on her phone and so I put it on mine to play with. Quite soon it was telling me that I had exceeded my quota for the free service and unless I wanted to wait six hours, I needed to subscribe for £19.99 a month.
But anyway my initial view is that it is potentially quite useful, but rather like anything else, if you actually know stuff about a question you ask it, then the answers are a whole lot less impressive, or even actually wrong (in my opinion).
Yes, often wrong or complete balderdash.
I heard an urban myth that The team at Open AI That invented ChatGPT Had a meeting with musk Who suggested to them that they should loosen up the truth criteria of the algorithm to make it more fun to use and faster.
I think musk gave them about $50 million to develop it further and faster and only asked them to keep it as a nonprofit organisation.
I saw in an interview where he Was asked why he didn’t get Any contractual agreement from them to keep it non-commercial, and musk shrugged and laughed as I recall and admitted it was a bit of an error.
I’d been considering this question for a while now as more words have their meaning removed.
Are there stupid opinions? Are there stupid acts? Are, indeed, there stupid people?
Or, possibly, ‘persons of stupidity’?
can’t replace? Not yet, but…

I suspect he wanted to keep it non profit to dominate the home automation/robotics market himself. That didn’t work, at least the non profit part. I struggle to understand why you buy twitter at that price unless you are going to use the data for training ai. Then it could turn out to be a bargain. Anyway all speculation
We are only at the start of this technology. Hope you noticed Apple just got a nuclear power plant reopened. Thats to dedicate to training AI for the next few years with carbon free energy. Apple genAi ‘apple intelligence’ is coming.
Edit. Sorry my bad it was microsoft! Still travel lagged from Norway 
Yes.
Also stupid Qs.
Hummm.
What other reason could there possibly be? 
I can see now a path where people has used electronic media to (unwillingly, perhaps) train their human intelligence for decades, and now artificial intelligence is using that human experience to train itself…
It would be laughable if it wasn’t very disquieting.
It gets even worse. People want to use AI to ‘battle’ racism et cetera. This means that AI will feed us correct output. In case of racism I can see benefits, but it’s naive to think it stops there.
As pointed out in the Stanley Kubrick film 2001, it’s not at all clear where computer intelligence will actually stop at all, or how it could be stopped.
If other species such as dolphins, horses, whales, and eagles could speak English, I suspect they would say something similar about humans.
“feed us correct output”
You must be joking, did you see those google outputs from asking google Gemini image creator about important historical figures?
Martin
Hopefully it will go bust soon.
But unnatural (however still human) stupidity is even worse!
It’s fine as a tool, but only human (and not in the best of ways) to hope it can be a solution.
