So "AI" isn't actually artificial intelligence. Actually "AGI" is artificial intelligence. And we already have artificial intelligence. But who cares if "AGI" is artificial intelligence because it's a senseless milestone and it's not like the whole bubble is contingent on developing artificial intelligence πŸ˜‚

I just wonder what the next PR/branding term for "AI" that's is not artificial intelligence will be.

I know that the term "AI", as used in computer science, has a history outside of sci-fi and marketing and is such a broad umbrella that even machine learning is only one subset, but you know what? Fuck it! It's not a real AI unless it's the Geth or Shodan or some shit. I don't even care anymore.

[–] Monk3brain3@hexbear.net 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

When these clowns use "AI" what are they talking about? They're talking about a highly advanced intelligence on the level of humans at least. That's the implication. So I have no clue what your point is.

[–] sleeplessone@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

My point is I don't give a shit about the historical context of the word anymore. "AI" only refers to grifts and sci-fi to me now, and anyone that says these bullshit machines are positive (or even neutral) is dead wrong in my eyes.

My comment isn't a direct response to anything you posted; it's a general comment on the state of the discourse.

[–] Monk3brain3@hexbear.net 3 points 6 days ago

Ok yeah I was curious by what you meant because that's basically my opinion as well

Hello Mr. Huang, you may notice that you are trapped in a cylinder that's slowly filling with liquid pig shit. To escape, all you have to do is have your AI count from 1 to 100

Just asked a Chinese LLM to do it. It did without any hiccups. Americans are fucked.

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,...7... 8, 9. And 10! And then just like that right up to 100."

CEOs are no more than probabilistic bullshit generators so it makes sense they think it's AGI

[–] Monk3brain3@hexbear.net 25 points 1 week ago

I think all the "AI" ceos are cynical and full of shit. But I also think some have hitched their careers to this farce so they are incentivized to keep it going or to validate it subjectively even if objectively it's garbage. But there definitely is a ton of true believers and I think they are the ones funding this. Jokes on them because their investment will not in fact pay off

[–] Renin@hexbear.net 38 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It's unclear exactly what Huang meant when saying Nvidia has already achieved AGI.

AI might be able to create a billion-dollar viral app but could not build a company like Nvidia. "The odds of 100,000 of those agents building Nvidia," he added, "is zero percent."

What does any of this even mean? What is that guy saying... okay-okay

"Only my job is safe from being replaced by a glorified autocomplete" -Guy with one of the only jobs that could be replaced by glorified autocomplete.

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 2 points 5 days ago

To call what he does a 'job' is a stretch, even. His role is to be the disposable, humanoid face of the decisions of the investors. Better to call it a 'function'. It's a shame that even if he fails in his 'function' and is replaced, he'll still be more incomprehensibly wealthy than the collective lifetime net worth of every user on bearsite.

It does sound kind of mindless but to those tech bros intelligence is about the ability to make money. Sam Altman has said stuff along that line quite a few times.

I did but Billy Mitchel cheated and stole my spot

Guys, it's getting really hard to hit all these benchmarks. What if we just say whatever we have is actually what we want and just call it a day?

The beatings will continue until you say "Elon is super cool and did not get rejected by Epstein and only has sex with adults and was totally loved by his daddy who he did not look to substitute with big daddy Donald"

[–] shawarma@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

i cant even get an AI to go past the first question. if im using it to do any sort of research on anything i have to sit there and endlessly question its misguided conclusions. is this general intelligence?

Sure bud, let's put you in the pit first, it's uh, an AI pit with lots of graphics cards in it.

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

Oh ok, so the previous grift wasn't what they said it is, but that's ok because it totally will be what they claim once they reach the next stage, oh but we have already reached the next stage and it's exactly the same, but that's ok, because the next stage will fix all of this!
