Artificial Intelligence Discussion

Someone in my raid group for world of Warcraft used ChatGPT or similar to try and figure out a boss mechanic we were struggling with. Seemed to help.

Are you concerned about the AI getting things wrong?

For example what if it misses inserting items into your calendar or an important summary from your conversation?

Are you double checking everything but it will still save you time?

Texas is getting a huge number of requests for data centers.

Texas’s record peak for demand was 83 GW and they have around 103 GW of seasonal supply. Projects demanding a combined more than 220 GW have been proposed (70+% are data center). Good luck to any Texans on here with your power bills.

Local politicians just don’t seem to understand that landing a big data centre investment is not necessarily a good thing for their community.

Microsoft announced a big investment in Canadian data centres this week prompting me to send a cautionary Letter to the Editor (Globe and Mail) on the downsides of these data centres. The electricity for the ones in Alberta will probably be natural gas generated, adding to my criticism of them.

There’s a great mix… Increased electricity demand from natural gas generators with increased LNG exports. Watch electricity bills go up and to the right

But think of all the jobs it could help eliminate!

yes this.

I get on a call for an hour, then before I can do a summary I get in another call for an hour and by the end of the second call I’ve forgotten the tasks from the first. so having this summarized is a huge time saver, even if I double check everything. and I will. double check that is.

I’m just waiting for an AI named Omnius to come to market.

ok so how does this even work, like I thought nonprofits don’t have owners and thus don’t have shares and now it’s like yeah we’re totally profit but non profit or whatever I dunno

They aren’t nonprofit, they are a public benefit corporation

I that dude!!

Think of it as one large grift.

Thats basically what it is right now. They are paying themselves enormous sums when they don’t even have a credible end product yet (they are still effectively paying people to use their AI interfaces).

All of their plans are based on ridiculously rosy revenue projections and access to energy (that doesn’t exist and cannot be built at the speed they need it at).

My bet now is that Open AI will be one of the first AI companies that will eventually implode.

This tells you a lot about what the market thinks of those long-term revenue forecasts for AI revenue.

Larry presumably still gets to be the hacendado of Lanai right

I think we were talking about AI medical diagnoses here awhile ago. Perhaps this might be more palatable to some of you. Apparently it’s feasible to get 99% accuracy in diagnosis breast cancer biopsies using a flock of pigeons with ~2 weeks of training…

I’m not sure what, if anything this says about the feasibility of training AIs to diagnose cancer, but perhaps it shows that it may not be as complicated as we think.

Yeah, but it’s on Facebook. WTF knows if any of it is true.
