So, you are saying, I should mix my cocaine with twix bars for maximum efficiency? (Would still be stupid, but now more efficiently)??

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 21 points 1 day ago

Same stupid, more fun

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

The left Twix has cocaine in it. The right one does, too, but it comes from the Right Cocaine Twix factory.

[–] Chee_Koala@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I think if you add some twix bars in the mix you have good chances that it wont get worse because of it. Only logical choice is to go the twix route.

[–] the_q@lemmy.zip 67 points 1 day ago (4 children)

To be fair a lot of people think they're intelligent and they really really aren't.

[–] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 29 points 1 day ago

Especially if they've had cocaine.

I'm not trying to grade on potential but betting on human potential vs AI potential feels like it rewards ourselves for being better vs a machine. Would we have Albert Einstein if we didn't have Isaac Newton?

Why do people keep telling me this?

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 43 points 1 day ago (7 children)

See, the thing is, I watch piss porn. Hear me out. I told my friend that the thing is, to do piss porn, you kind of have to be into it. You could try and fake it, but it wouldn't be very convincing. So, my contention is, piss porn is more genuine than other types of porn, because the people partaking are statistically more likely to enjoy doing that type of porn. Which is great, I think, because then they really get into it, which is hot. It's that enjoyment that gets me off. Their enjoyment.

She said, "Krooklochurm, you're an idiot. Anyone can fake liking getting pissed in the face."

So I said, "Well, if you're so adamant, get in the tub and I'll piss in your mouth, and let's see if it's as easy as you claim."

So she said, "All right. If I can fist you in the ass afterwards."

Which I felt was a fair deal, so I took it.

My (formal) position was strengthened significantly by the former event. And I can also attest that I could not convincingly fake enjoying being ass-fisted.

What does that have to do with anything, you ask? Genuinity. The real deal. That's what.

Plot twist, she really did like getting pissed on, and she knew it ahead of time. She was gaming you for that golden shower.

Wasn't there an article posted yesterday about a group trying to create a biological computer that was living cells do to their efficiency of use on less power? (They are far from close, they basically took skin cells, ionized them, and had no idea how they were going to get them to stay alive long term yet.

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 12 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Even that won't be anywhere close to the efficiency of neurons.

And actual neurons are not comparable to transistors at all. For starters the behaviour is completely different, closer to more complex logic gates built from transistors, and they're multi-pathway, AND don't behave as binary as transistors do.

Which is why AI technology needs so much power. We're basically virtualising a badly understood version of our own brains. Think of it like, say, PlayStation 4 emulation - it's kinda working but most details are unknown and therefore don't work well, or at best have a "close enough" approximaion of behaviour, at the cost of more resource usage. And virtualisation will always be costly.

Or, I guess, a better example would be one of the many currently trending translation layers (e.g. SteamOS's Proton or macOS' Rosetta or whatever Microsoft was cooking for Windows for the same purpose, but also kinda FEX and Box86/Box64), versus virtual machines. The latter being an approximation of how AI relates to our brains (and by AI here I mean neural network based AI applications, not just LLMs).

It's not artifical intelligence. A Large Language Model is not intelligent.

And yes yes, scientifically, LLM belongs there and whatnot. But important is, what the people expect.

[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 6 points 1 day ago

That's the typical discrepancy between "definition of technical term" and "popular expectations evoked by term". The textbook example used to be "theory", but I guess AI is set to replace that job too...

[–] Capybara_mdp@reddthat.com 5 points 1 day ago

Not to be pedantic, but the original use of the word intelligence in this context was “gathered digested information.”

Unfortunately, during the VC funding rounds for this, “intelligence” became the “thinky meat brain” type, and a marketing term associated with personhood, and the intense personalization along with it.

I think the entire idea of ai and the Internet in general taking up power and water needs to be fleshed out and explained to everyone. Even to me it’s a vague notion, I heard about it a few years back but can’t explain it to someone like my parents who would have no idea the Internet requires water to run

[–] asmoranomar@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

It's not too hard. AI requires a LOT of work. Work requires energy. Some energy is wasted during this and the byproduct is heat. The heat has to be removed for many reasons, and water is very good at doing that.

It's like sweating, it cools you down. But you need water to sweat.

Natural inteligence would not consume Twix and cocaine.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Real Genius runs on cigarettes, coffee, and cheating on your cousin-wife.

How can we know if the AI is intelligence unless we can prove it is horny?

[–] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago

For example of course

it's really good at writing termination notices without making middle managers feel bad about letting their employees go.

[–] wabafee@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I think we're at a point were the hardware right now does not fit with the algorithm being used. Since they take so much power due to our computers being digital. Having a transistor only capable of holding 1 state (0V or 5V usually) is inefficient. The heat add up as you multiply especially with LLMs. There seems to be a potential for analog where a transistor acts more on a range 0 - 5v. Which in theory could store more information or directly represent what LLM runs on (floating point). For more context 1 float tends to be 32bits. 1 bit is 1 transistor so 1 float = 32 transistor. While an analog transistor could be 1 float = 1 analog transistor.

[–] Cypher@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Do you have a link to any research on a push to analog transistors and their properties? I have been reading up on transistors (and vacuum tubes) but haven’t seen any discussion on this.

Also much lower voltages are typical in modern transistors, from 1-1.5v.

[–] wabafee@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

My mistake, I made it look like that's a fact I'll edit that as my opinion. Though here is one I can find.

We use about 20% of our caloric intake (at rest, not doing math) for our bio intelligence. Having superpowers of social organization is expensive and power hungry.

So it's really no surprise that the computation machines that can run AI require tens of megawatts to think.

All it really takes is the Limitless pill. The protagonist in the movie Limitless gets so much done after taking the Limitless pill in the movie Limitless. Limitless is a movie about a man who discovers the Limitless pill to help him accomplish almost limitless amount of things. But he learns that there is a limit that the Limitless pill can do if he takes it for too long. Because the Limitless pill isn’t really limitless.

Limitless = Adderall

It's an efficient, if somewhat finicky intelligence. It checks out commander.
