@Iromg You really are a horrible human being, what a nasty thing to say about Andy Burnham's dad. Digusting man

@sadkatwt The assumption that underpins the entire industry is that a complex enough large language model, will have an emergent propety of genuine intelligence.

Imo it's a massive assumption and hallucinations are a concrete counter example. But are LLMs a different form of intelligence?

@stumpyuk @SebJohnsonUK My bad, looks like it's only flattened the last 5 years really. Thanks for the correction

[Eamonn @Eamonn1Everitt]

@leninology 100% agree, we can agree that AI 'thinks' differently to humans, but based on how you define intelligence it is still clearly a form of intelligence.

We should care more about what it does, what drives it and test it as much as we can rather than what it means to think.

@stumpyuk @SebJohnsonUK It's a fair point, but hasn't house prices largely stagnated the past decade anyway?

@thefreightnerd Interestingly, whenever I've tried to use it within Engineering where accuracy is extremely important, it struggled with some tasks I would assume would be basic, despite feeding it examples & training materials

@8LeggedElephant @GeoffreyLean It's to do with usable, accessible freshwater. Water is never "lost" but rather ends up in places where we can't easily extract it - e.g. the oceans, deep underground or unevenly distributed across the world.

Stone wall pen this.
Rice's tantrum kick out way off the ball - violent conduct - has to be a red.

@karen_stenner I have severe doubts about AI's capability. However, questions of understanding is more of a philosophical question to me, does building a complex, large enough neural network by training on language patterns result in understanding or intelligence... I don't think anyone knows

[Andrew @dremnik]

the general consensus seems to be that coding is basically solved.

yet remarkably it doesn’t seem to have produced more than incremental improvements to most of the software we use.

coding is solved, they say, yet we are still using google drive and notion. coding is solved, they say, yet we can think of no better way to coordinate tasks than linear / jira. coding is solved, they say, yet we are still using gmail and outlook. and we still just message each other about everything in slack.

where is the new generation of tools? why is nothing changing?

why are these companies, supposedly in possession of this technology which has ‘solved coding’, hardly producing anything better than what they were creating before?

the great paradox of the moment.

And to think you were once a British Prime Minister??? Good riddance

Stages in a Reform scandal:

1. This is a hit-job from the left / the establishment
2. We didn't do anything wrong, it's a hoax
3. There's a recording? Well, we didn't break any laws
4. We're going to hold an internal investigation
5. People who aren't Nigel Farage resign
6. Nigel Farage says the matter is closed

Four months later, the Epstein Files still have vanished from the conversation, as if one of the biggest scandals in American and Israeli politics never happened.

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

Jodrell Bank is the most visible causality of UKRI’s short sighted ‘vision’ for science, but as you’ll see below, there are many other valuable UK facilities and collaborations at risk. We became aware of the problem in the autumn of last year. It is not a result of the overall funding settlement for science after the spending review, which was quite generous I would say in the circumstances. Neither as far as we can tell is it a direct decision by ministers (all of whom have now gone in any case). Rather the problems appears to have been caused by senior management at UKRI focusing on short term economic ‘impact’ (whatever that means) rather than doing their job as custodians of the foundations of science. What must happen now is that the new ministerial team make the time (and space ;-)) to review the upcoming catastrophe, and instruct UKRI to do their job and focus on making Britain the best place in the world to do science, now and in the future.

@kelvinhk1987 @paullewismoney I'm not sure how multinational companies price that in when they sell the gas on the market.

Also, guess it depends on the amount of gas that can be extracted, not sure it's loads.
