@WhiskeyPeaky@Silicon_Fly Making AMX more available for local LLM inferences would be higher impact imo. Posing it as a M Ultra/Spark alternative would give better positioning.
@tydsh The transformer + LoRA part makes explicit symmetry assumptions and easier to study. Gradient descent and the symmetry breaking part is more implicit and probably more devils in the details.
@RuiCarrilho5 Solving for-fun math problems on investor funds is questionable also. It's defensible that they are honing their system for the bigger thing but there's the alternative of an open challenge (token grant + award) instead of an internal push.
@realmemes6 I'm not an expert on the policy side but on the practical side you are looking at hiring a math person from OpenAI to teach with a 50%/50% arrangement instead of a math prof that's 50% teaching 50% government-funded research, say also AI-assisted.
@realmemes6 I don't know who are the elites that make 500k+ in education systems. Time wise it'll at least take time to verify the gains from tech. Many working class people today were educated in an age without computers yet new grads have difficulty finding jobs.
@realmemes6 Then education will be repriced. Many lecturers accept low pay because of those aspirational problems for their spare time. AI education is not there yet and you probably still want an ever more capable next generation to fill future jobs.
@aran_nayebi It's too early to talk about the soul-in-AI question when the soul-in-animal question is yet to be resolved. Build a dog-bark translator first
