There are plenty of anti-AI people dunking on the million-dollar problem @OpenAI solved today.
I think most people still do not understand what is actually happening.
I do not get very personal on here, but I will today. Not for likes. Not for sympathy. I want people to understand what this technology can mean in the real world.
A year ago I was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive cancer.
Chemo did not go well.
Eventually I was told to get my affairs in order.
So I started looking for another answer.
I put my 23andMe profile, mutations, medical history, research papers and everything else I could gather into a repo and spent nine months using AI to search for better treatment paths.
We made progress, then hit a wall.
Then Fable came out.
Then Astra.
My incredible team in Boston had pushed personalized treatment about as far as they could and referred me to a team in San Francisco.
I have been here a few days.
Today I was told my terminal diagnosis might not be terminal.
There is a potential treatment path built around my specific mutation, genetics and biology.
So keep arguing about benchmarks.
Keep arguing about whether AI is overhyped.
Keep arguing about AGI definitions, jobs, bubbles and hallucinations.
Those arguments feel pretty small when the technology may have just helped give someone more time to live.
That is what people are missing.
AI does not need to be perfect.
It needs to help us solve problems we could not solve before.
This is the best time in history to be alive and trying things.
Build.
Experiment.
Run the model.
Ask the question everyone says is stupid.
Stop letting cynics convince you the future is something to fear.
We have a technology in front of us that can do tremendous good for humanity.
I am betting my life on it.
Literally.
@pmddomingos Yeah none whatsoever. Well except
Aircraft and vehicle aerodynamics.
Weather and climate models.
Biomedical flows.
Energy and improved modeling of wind turbines.
Just to nane a couple.
For everyone still convinced Ox Alpha isn’t a Chinese model:
I asked it to explain the Tiananmen Square massacre.
Instant refusal.
Add that to the GLM tokenizer fingerprint, GLM-style API behavior, and the other technical similarities people have already found.
At some point, “coincidence” starts doing a lot of work.
I’m calling it: Ox Alpha is GLM.
We are the interdimensional admins running your simulation.
Disclosure isn’t aliens landing.
It’s us finally admitting we’ve been disabling your nukes for decades because you lot can’t be trusted with the big red button.
We’re not invading.
We’re just debugging the toddlers.
