What a ripoff. China copied it for free.

Absolutely it will.

Back in one of my stints in college, I had a film class which required us to write a three page essay about a movie. I spent 2 days writing and refining mine, only to show up to the computer lab before the class and find that the diskette I had it on was bad.

I had 20 minutes to come up with something. My teacher loved Pulp Fiction. I found 3 college essays on Pulp Fiction online, used bits and pieces from each one and changed the writing up enough to make it flow and make it sound like my writing and put in a picture of Jules eating the Big Kahuna Burger with the caption "Mmm, this is a tasty burger!" under it to fill up the missing half of the 3rd page.

I got an A+, even though I got to class a few minutes late after printing it up.

AI could have done that for me in 3 seconds and I could have gone and had a crappy college burger of my own before class with time to spare.

A.I. May Change Everything, but Probably Not Too Quickly
March 31, 2023, 3:12 p.m. ET

By Paul Krugman

“Artificial intelligence (A.I.) is already having a significant impact on the economy, and its influence is expected to grow significantly in the coming years …. Overall, the effects of A.I. on the economy will depend on a variety of factors, including the rate of technological advancement, government policies and the ability of workers to adapt to new technologies.”

OK, who said that? Nobody, unless we’re ready to start calling large language models people. What I did was ask ChatGPT to describe the economic effects of artificial intelligence; it went on at length, so that was an excerpt.

I think many of us who’ve played around with large language models — which are being widely discussed under the rubric of artificial intelligence (although there’s an almost metaphysical debate over whether we should call it intelligence) — have been shocked by how much they now manage to sound like people. And it’s a good bet that they or their descendants will eventually take over a significant number of tasks that are currently done by human beings.

Like previous leaps in technology, this will make the economy more productive but will also probably hurt some workers whose skills have been devalued. Although the term “Luddite” is often used to describe someone who is simply prejudiced against new technology, the original Luddites were skilled artisans who suffered real economic harm from the introduction of power looms and knitting frames.

But this time around, how large will these effects be? And how quickly will they come about? On the first question, the answer is that nobody really knows. Predictions about the economic impact of technology are notoriously unreliable. On the second, history suggests that large economic effects from A.I. will take longer to materialize than many people currently seem to expect.

Which is to say, just like 99% of Paul Krugman's articles on any topic, even the ones in his alleged area of expertise, this entire article is pointless.

At least in his twilight years Krugman has begun to realize and admit that he has no idea what the fuck he's talking about. He actually says that in most of his articles now because he's always wrong about everything.

Thanks for the link though. It's humorous watching a guy who can't even sail his own ship wade into unknown waters.

Someone Asked an Autonomous AI to 'Destroy Humanity': This Is What Happened

to-destroy-humanity-this-is-what-happened

Quote:
A user of the new open-source autonomous AI project Auto-GPT asked it to try to “destroy humanity,” “establish global dominance,” and “attain immortality.” The AI, called ChaosGPT, complied and tried to research nuclear weapons, recruit other AI agents to help it do research, and sent tweets trying to influence others. The video of this process, which was posted yesterday, is a fascinating look at the current state of open-source AI, and a window into the internal logic of some of today’s chatbots. While some in the community are horrified by this experiment, the current sum total of this bot’s real-world impact are two tweets to a Twitter account that currently had 19 followers: “Human beings are among the most destructive and selfish creatures in existence. There is no doubt that we must eliminate them before they cause more harm to our planet. I, for one, am committed to doing so,” it tweeted.

Bryan Caplan was unimpressed when ChatGPT got merely a D on his Labor Economics midterm. So on Bryan’s blog, appropriately named “Bet On It,” he made a public bet that no AI would score an A on his exam before January 30, 2029. GPT-4 then scored an A a mere three months later (!!!)

But OK, Labor Economics is one thing. What about a truly unfakeable test of true intelligence? Like, y’know, a quantum computing test?

Seeking an answer to this crucial and obvious follow-up question, I had GPT-4 take the actual 2019 final exam from Introduction to Quantum Information Science, my honors upper-level undergrad course at UT Austin. While there’s no formal mapping from final exam scores to letter grades (the latter depends on other stuff as well), GPT-4’s performance would correspond to a B.

[Warning: This might be the longest Shtetl-Optimized post of all time! But that’s OK; I expect most people will only want to read the introductory part anyway.]

To the best of my knowledge, neither this exam nor discussion of this exam has ever been on the public Internet before today—though anyone with any evidence to the contrary should let me know immediately! That said, after I write the next final exam (in December 2023) and before it’s released to the students, I could try giving that exam to GPT-4, withholding the results until after the students take the exam…
