RE developer in pursuit of the True, Good, and Beautiful.

There is a direct relationship between sacrifice and beauty: a mother birthing a child; the detail of traditional architecture; or, ultimately, Jesus's resurrection from the dead to take away the sins of the world.

If the quality and intuitiveness of AI doesn't improve dramatically and quickly investors will catch up to the delta between what AI companies sold them (and the public) and reality. That would not be good for the markets.

[Virtue Developer @VirtueDeveloper]

In my use of three paid and one unpaid AI over the last 6 months:

All have given me more incorrect answers more than correct answers.

Surprisingly, quality does not seem to improve linerally with spend, if it improves with spend at all.

I've spent almost the same amount of time in QA/QC as I would have just reviewing/drafting from scratch.

Marginal net benefit on information gathering.

Image generation from text using some of the more powerful AIs has been poor.

It cannot coherently or reliably reason or synthethize information.

In sum, AI as currently implemented, at least for my use cases, is just slightly better than no AI at all. Informatio gathering seems to be the highest and best use.

Is it worth the price I pay? Probably, although the free AI I use is 98% of the paid ones.

Infer what you may from this. My personal opinion is that AI has been oversold, at least relative to it's current capability.

@ThinkAppraiser Recently say someone spend $300k+ on a bathroom renovation, including removing a bedrom, which sunk the value of the home by about $300k. A $600k bad decision.

[Virtue Developer @VirtueDeveloper]

Yes, I'm having the same experience. AI is not intelligent. It may be ar some point in the future, God willing as we will need a source of productivity to keep us from deflation due to people not having kids, but as it exists today it's only good for information gathering and organization.

[Virtue Developer @VirtueDeveloper]

@conneryoungBC Respect.

[Virtue Developer @VirtueDeveloper]

@jlippincott Huge potential and may be a blessing due to depopulation but it's current abilities are oversold.

[Virtue Developer @VirtueDeveloper]

@realpeteyb123 Yup

[Virtue Developer @VirtueDeveloper]

@ThinkAppraiser 80% senior debt + 15% pref/mezz + 4% private loans from family + 1% equity.

AI is like the Wizard of OZ, except Altman, Musk, Amodei, Page/Brin play Professor Marvel and we are their subjects of deception.

[Virtue Developer @VirtueDeveloper]

@BioLayne Anxiety sells.

[Virtue Developer @VirtueDeveloper]

@jlippincott It's a bubble. It's not at "smart" as they say it is, at least not yet.

[Virtue Developer @VirtueDeveloper]

The gig is almost up. Intelligent people speaking out about the AI pump and dump.

go fuck yourself @sama

claiming that you solved navier stokes because 10000 agents ran in circles for 88hours on a multimillion dollar gpu cluster to formalize in lean a blowup case under controlled external forcing is pure scientific vulgarity the clay mathematics institute millennium prize does not ask m whether you can artificially force a singularity in a fluid by injecting an ad hoc smooth external forcing term f(x,t) to twist the vortex until it breaks the real problem questions the fundamental stability and global smooth existence for 3dimensional incompressible euler & navier stokes equations under natural conservation laws and viscous dissipation alone using a mathematical loophole on forced equations to parade a century old victory is a major conceptual scam Altman

technically & epistemologically what you present as an agi breakthrough is nothing more than bruteforce combinatorial autoformalization the ai did not understand fluid mechanics it simply navigated a continuous search space previously mapped out and constrained by the monumental work of human mathematicians like tristan buckmaster/ levent alpöge / diego córdoba or tarek elgindi coordinating 10000 agents to check the logical consistency of a 100 page proof via lean is a software engineering feat and computational parallelization triumph not an intrinsic scientific discovery it is the victory of the compute bulldozer over abstract human intuition repackaged for the public as a higher mathematical consciousness

to this theoretical imposture you add a disgusting ethical and industrial cynicism taking advantage of private codex sessions and informal preprints from academic researchers to siphon their research leads and then trying to redact or erase the contribution of levent alpöge under the pretext that he works at rival anthropic is intellectual serfdom openai behaves like a feudal lord of silicon appropriating the cognitive subsistence of independent scholars threatening their careers behind closed doors if they protest and turning community academic labor into a privatized pressrelease

this entire staged event serves a desperate financial agenda in a pre ipo panic facing the slowdown of scaling laws and growing investor skepticism over the profitability of foundational models openai needs to manufacture an artificial sputnik moment claiming to solve a millennium prize without immediately submitting the proof to traditional peer review means using the prestige of fundamental mathematics as cheap marketing fuel to inflate a delusional valuation!!!

real science is not a clout chase on social media or a compute spike spent to rob the clay mathematics institute it is a quest for elegance physical truth and universal rigor to decode reality true artificial intelligence will not emerge from hostile corporate takeover of academic work hidden behind computational bruteforce but from architectures capable of generating new conceptual paradigms by masquerading constrained formalization as the collapse of physics greatest mysteries you did not solve navier stokes you only proved how far silicon valley will go to prostitute scientific integrity for capitalist spectacle

@realpeteyb123 MAGA not Christian...

Neither is RINO.

Neither is Neocon.

@TradVat2 "Idiot! In Latin, Jehova starts with an 'I'."

[Virtue Developer @VirtueDeveloper]

Are we getting pumped and dumped by big tech with respect to AI?

Narratives are much more prevlant and powerful than they used to be given our constant use of social media (and the internet generally.)

[Virtue Developer @VirtueDeveloper]

If you spend 8 hours a day consuming information on from a screen and 8 hours a day consuming information from the physcial world, which is more real?
