You know. I am over 40 now. I will not see the full impact of the climate crisis, even with AI boosting its progress.

And I very much OP is younger than 30 so he can actually experience how coop AI is after it destroyed our climate

LLMs aint curing no fucking cancer

Closest thing to that would be the Folding project that Google just shut down.

Wait they shut that down? The fuck?

"Google Shuts Down Its Nobel-Prize Winning AlphaFold Project"

Huh. Slashdot. And my old sub-3000 id still works.

Probably sold it to a hospital system so that they can scuttle it and make more money from cancer patients.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Nope. If you had checked the link you would know it was a reassignment of all the workers to Gemini.

Literally just dissolved the project into thin air.

'They will. Its just 2 years away!'

[–] SuluBeddu@feddit.it 8 points 2 days ago

Massive resources are being used to build things in a useless attempt to get rid of workers

All those resources never showed up to help research teams finding a cure to cancer.

Not to "both sides" here, but please both sides, be specific in what AI you're talking about or think someone's talking about. The conversation makes 0 progress otherwise and is no better than a circlejerk. Cancer curing AI can still exist without hungry data centers and plagiarism. You can be anti 99% of AI and still work to preserve the 1%, it's not hard people.

Yes it is hard - because the only AI most people have ever "witnessed" and been aware of "this is called AI" is LLMs and image generating. For a horryfying number of people, "AI" is only these two things. By the same mechanism, usage of the term in media says "AI" 90% of the times when it really means just LLMs. We would have to explicitly specify all the time, and people just can't be arsed
