Years ago... And I do mean many years ago... Somewhere around the mid-aughts, I remember telling my boss that I thought a "woman" that I was speaking to on the phone regarding one of my credit cards was actually a robot. It was one of those Uncanny Valley events. I told him that looking back I wish I had thought to ask some real nonsensical questions to see what it would reply.

We have to deal with recorded voices all the time in the menus to this day, but it's always apparent that they're recordings. This one was good though. Almost perfect, but unless this woman had some serious autism that would probably keep her from having that job, she was not a real person. I tried calling them back a few times, but was never subjected to it again. I always wondered if I was part of a test group with something they were using very sporadically just to see how people reacted to it.



But on the topic of fake kidnapping calls, I just watched a video warning about that scam from TheoJoe on Youtube last week.



He's [TheoJoe] brought up a great idea that I had a while back when my buddy was going to visit an old friend who reached out and was saying some real suicidal shit. I was worried that something might happen to him (and it turns out he was a little worried about it too). We now have an innocuous code phrase that we can use on the phone to let each other know that there's trouble. You should probably consider coming up with something with your friends and loved ones for situations like this yourself.

Of course that was going to happen.

The more I've considered all of this, the more I realize that whatever is going to happen is just eventual. There's no way we can stop AI research.

Just like the Democrats are tying our hands behind our back on the world stage with "Climate Change" regulations, if we were to stop doing AI research, hostile countries like China certainly aren't going to. All that stopping AI research here would do would make us fall behind China and continue making them stronger.

‘Overemployed’ Hustlers Exploit ChatGPT To Take On Even More Full-Time Jobs

https://www.vice.com/en/article/v7begx/overemployed-hustlers-exploit-c
hatgpt-to-take-on-even-more-full-time-jobs

About a year ago, Ben found out that one of his friends had quietly started to work multiple jobs at the same time. The idea had become popular during the COVID-19 pandemic, when working from home became normalized, making the scheme easier to pull off. A community of multi-job hustlers, in fact, had come together online, referring to themselves as the “overemployed.”

The idea excited Ben, who lives in Toronto and asked that Motherboard not use his real name, but he didn’t think it was possible for someone like him to pull it off. He helps financial technology companies market new products; the job involves creating reports, storyboards, and presentations, all of which involve writing. There was “no way,” he said, that he could have done his job two times over on his own.

Then, last year, he started to hear more and more about ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence chatbot developed by the research lab OpenAI. Soon enough, he was trying to figure out how to use it to do his job faster and more efficiently, and what had been a time-consuming job became much easier. ("Not a little bit more easy,” he said, “like, way easier.") That alone didn’t make him unique in the marketing world. Everyone he knew was using ChatGPT at work, he said. But he started to wonder whether he could pull off a second job. Then, this year, he took the plunge, a decision he attributes to his new favorite online robot toy.

How are people you know using ChatGPT at work? We want to hear from you. From a non-work device, contact our reporter at maxwell.strachan@vice.com or via Signal at 310-614-3752 for extra security.

“That's the only reason I got my job this year,” Ben said of OpenAI's tool. “ChatGPT does like 80 percent of my job if I’m being honest.” He even used it to generate cover letters to apply for jobs.

Over the last few months, the exploding popularity of ChatGPT and similar products has led to growing concerns about AI’s potential effects on the international job market—specifically, the percentage of jobs that could be automated away, replaced by a well-oiled army of chatbots. But for a small cohort of fast-thinking and occasionally devious go-getters, AI technology has turned into an opportunity not to be feared but exploited, with their employers apparently none the wiser.

The people Motherboard spoke with for this article requested anonymity to avoid losing their jobs. For clarity, Motherboard in some cases assigned people aliases in order to differentiate them, though we verified each of their identities. Some, like Ben, were drawn into the overemployed community as a result of ChatGPT. Others who were already working multiple jobs have used recent advancements in AI to turbocharge their situation, like one Ohio-based technology worker who upped his number of jobs from two to four after he started to integrate ChatGPT into his work process. “I think five would probably just be overkill,” he said.

‘The Best Assistant Ever’

Throughout the overemployed community, there is a quiet arms race to figure out just how much of the corporate workday can be automated away using an assortment of AI tools, some of which predate ChatGPT. The possibility of increasing their income, or at least easing the burden of holding down multiple jobs, has led to an explosion of experimentation.

When one of Ben’s bosses, for example, now asks him to create a story for an upcoming product release, he will explain the context and provide a template to ChatGPT, which then creates an outline for him and helps fill out the sections. The AI chatbot knows Ben’s title and the parameters of his duties and has become even better at understanding the context since the launch of GPT-4, the latest edition, he said. “I can just tell it to create a story,” said Ben, “and it just does it for me, based off the context that I gave it.” Ben still needs to verify the information—”sometimes it gets stuff wrong, which is totally normal,” he said—but the adjustments are relatively “minor” and easy to fix.

Occasionally, he even asks ChatGPT to craft responses to Slack messages from his manager. In such cases, he requests that ChatGPT write the message in all lowercase, so that it appears more organic to the boss. Another overemployed worker also told me they have started using ChatGPT to transcribe Zoom meetings so they can be largely ignored in the moment and referenced later.

Charles, who has worked as a software engineer and product manager and solutions architect, including at a FAANG company, had been all-in on overemployment since 2020—while he currently works two jobs, he worked four at the height of the pandemic—but said that AI tools have made juggling the positions much easier.

At the FAANG company, he was able to outsource written tasks to AI tools, like writing a memo to defend and justify a business decision. In such a case, he’d input the relevant facts and parameters into an AI chatbot, which would cohesively lay them out more quickly than he ever could. Additionally, he’d use it to lay out directions for engineers (“It allows you to take, basically, a sentence and expand it out into a paragraph”); and create a “foundation” when coding. The ChatGPT-created code “oftentimes” would work perfectly, he said, but the errors could be identified and resolved easily enough, he said.

One member of the overemployed, who, unusually, works three financial reporting jobs, said he’s found ChatGPT useful in the creation of macros in Excel. “I can create macros, but it takes me an hour, two hours, plus, to write the code, test it, make sure everything's working,” he said. By comparison, with ChatGPT, he can provide the parameters and it’ll “spit something out” that he can update and tweak to his specifications. The process can allow him to cram what is traditionally a “two-week long process” into a few hours. (He says he avoids providing ChatGPT with confidential information.)

Daniel, a staff engineer on the East Coast who works one director-level position and another as a senior dev (one job is on Pacific time and one is in the United Kingdom), similarly said that ChatGPT’s code can leave something to be desired, but said it’s been useful when it comes to writing emails. “Most people in tech probably aren't as good at writing things as most other people,” Daniel said. He included himself in that critique of his own industry, but said it’s no longer a problem, as he can plug the key points into ChatGPT and ask the AI assistant to rewrite it “in a more professional way,” he said. “It's really good for stuff like that.”

Excitement for the potential of ChatGPT isn’t limited to the technology and financial spheres of the overemployed community. Marshall, a university lecturer in the United Kingdom who secretly runs a digital marketing agency and tech startup on the side, has become a ChatGPT fanatic since its release. (During class, he often has students run through exercises, during which time he is often able to open up his laptop and work on his side hustles.) “It’s the best assistant ever,” he told me excitedly.

Marshall has come to see himself as the idea man, and ChatGPT as the labor. “I'm quite a conceptualizing person. So I'm quite happy for my brain to do that. But the first draft of anything almost always goes through GPT,” he said. Already, the chatbot has helped him generate business plans, internal system documents, blog posts, and Excel spreadsheets. He estimated that ChatGPT can often pull off 80 percent of the legwork, leaving him to handle the final 20 percent.

The tool has even helped him win a grant from the U.K. government (the application was “50-50 me and ChatGPT,” he said) and complete coursework for a master’s degree necessary to receive a university teaching qualification he was too busy to handle by himself while working three jobs.

The members of the overemployed community know that what they’re doing is frowned on by corporate leaders. But that doesn’t mean they think what they are doing is amoral. “I never could mentally comprehend why it was so taboo for me to work two salaried positions,” said the Ohio-based technology worker. “There's plenty of people I've known in my personal life who have worked at Walmart from 4 a.m. to 2 p.m., and then gone and worked another job.” The financial professional similarly said he started working multiple jobs because he doesn't trust that working as hard as he can at a single job will be “rewarded with more pay,” just “more work.” By taking on more jobs, he can do more work but also “get paid for it,” he said.

‘One Loom Operator As Opposed to 100 Weavers’

More than a member of the overemployed community, Charles, the FAANG alumni, considers himself part of the FIRE movement—short for “Financial Independence, Retire Early” Not yet 30, he is already making $500,000 working two jobs and worth around $3 million, claims he backed up to Motherboard with documentation. But he hopes to increase his compensation to $800,000 by tacking on a third position, and reach a net worth of $10 million by 35.

Even though he is already using ChatGPT to work multiple jobs, Charles still is trying to figure out ways to make his dream even easier to obtain. When we spoke he said he’s already been “able to outsource” coding tasks to a third party in the past, and that he has been hard at work trying to develop a way to have someone else mimic both his voice and image on a computer screen. Once he can do so, he said, he hopes to offshore his job to someone in India who can “do my job for me.”

In such moments, it can feel like the AI-infused overemployed community is taking advantage of a brief moment in time, when the tools that can be used to automate a job are much better understood by the workforce than the bosses with hiring and firing ability. One person, who works multiple jobs in information technology, spoke openly about the tension that created: People can more easily hold down multiple jobs today; but, should the bosses realize just how much their jobs can be handled by robots, they could be at risk of their jobs being automated away. As a result, he said, there’s good reason to keep quiet about what they’ve discovered.

Most of the overemployed workers themselves maintain that their jobs require a baseline level of expertise, even with ChatGPT. Still, some members of the overemployed community feel they have peered into the future, and not liked everything they’ve seen.

One such person is Ryan, who works multiple jobs in data analytics and marketing in a large Midwestern city. Over the last year, he has watched in astonishment as ChatGPT figured out a way to automate an ever-growing percentage of his job, including writing ad copy and blog posts. The feat can feel exciting, and it has temporarily made his job easier. “I can crank out a blog post in, you know, 45 minutes now, as opposed to three hours. It's insane,” he said.

But Ryan does worry. At times, he said, he could not help but feel that the entrance of ChatGPT into the marketing sector felt like the insertion of the modern loom into the textile industry.

“It's gonna be one loom operator, as opposed to, you know, 100 weavers,” he said.

"Climate Change is a Chinese Hoax", said Trump.

Climate change is making a safe, slow adjustment to heat much harder by upending what we’d typically expect as seasons change. Summers are getting longer and more intense, encroaching on winter and extending long into the fall.

Large parts of Asia have been hit particularly hard the past two weeks. Axios reported how heat records have fallen throughout China, India, Bangladesh, and Thailand, as areas have surpassed 100 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius). Thailand saw a new all-time temperature record for the month. And more than a dozen Chinese provinces broke new heat records.

It’s been exactly a year since Pakistan and India last experienced similarly shocking temperatures; last May, half of the US population faced a historic heat wave 20 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit above average. Temperatures this spring are already hitting historic highs in the 90s throughout the US.

Although late summer can bring more extreme temperatures, these early heat waves take a particularly dangerous toll. “It’s well documented that there’s greater mortality earlier in the season because people are not acclimatized to the higher temperature,” said University of Washington professor of global health Kristie Ebi, an author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) sixth assessment.

Another public health researcher, Boston University professor Patrick Kinney, explained that acclimatization can also help in understanding why heat deaths are so uneven across regions.

“In the northern part of the United States, like Boston or New York or Chicago, it doesn’t have to get as hot before you start seeing people dying in the summer on hot days. Whereas if you go down to like Atlanta or Houston, it has to get much hotter before you start to see the mortality go up,” he said.

I'm not even saying that it's a hoax here, stupid.

Don't bother reading any more into the words you quoted than exactly what I said because I didn't hide anything in them.

China ain't on board with your green bullshit, and all that shit you don't need that you buy is made by them.

The Chinese are not taking unfair advantage by selling useless doodads to the world, but not buying them for themselves. For example: China’s E.V. market has grown rapidly since 2020 — doubling in sales last year — propped up partly by government subsidies.

6ix, I know you can go on and on about how this big green energy scam will ruin the earth, but it is not a scam. 6ix, doing things your way by continuing to burn fossil fuels will definitely ruin the earth. The switch over from fossil fuel to green energy should have happened 40 years ago, but every Republican in Congress was opposed to it. They still are and they will continue until they die or are not reelected.

Five Worlds of AI
https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=7266



1) AI-Fizzle. In this scenario, AI “runs out of steam” fairly soon. AI still has a significant impact on the world (so it’s not the same as a “cryptocurrency fizzle”), but relative to current expectations, this would be considered a disappointment. Rather than the industrial or computer revolutions, AI might be compared in this case to nuclear power: people were initially thrilled about the seemingly limitless potential, but decades later, that potential remains mostly unrealized. With nuclear power, though, many would argue that the potential went unrealized mostly for sociopolitical rather than technical reasons. Could AI also fizzle by political fiat?

Regardless of the answer, another possibility is that costs (in data and computation) scale up so rapidly as a function of performance and reliability that AI is not cost-effective to apply in many domains. That is, it could be that for most jobs, humans will still be more reliable and energy-efficient (we don’t normally think of low wattage as being key to human specialness, but it might turn out that way!). So, like nuclear fusion, an AI which yields dramatically more value than the resources needed to build and deploy it might always remain a couple of decades in the future. In this scenario, AI would replace and enhance some fraction of human jobs and improve productivity, but the 21st century would not be the “century of AI,” and AI’s impact on society would be limited for both good and bad.

2) Futurama. In this scenario, AI unleashes a revolution that’s entirely comparable to the scientific, industrial, or information revolutions (but “merely” those). AI systems grow significantly in capabilities and perform many of the tasks currently performed by human experts at a small fraction of the cost, in some domains superhumanly. However, AI systems are still used as tools by humans, and except for a few fringe thinkers, no one treats them as sentient. AI easily passes the Turing test, can prove hard theorems, and can generate entertaining content (as well as deepfakes). But humanity gets used to that, just like we got used to computers creaming us in chess, translating text, and generating special effects in movies. Most people no more feel inferior to their AI than they feel inferior to their car because it runs faster. In this scenario, people will likely anthropomorphize AI less over time (as happened with digital computers themselves). In “Futurama,” AI will, like any revolutionary technology, be used for both good and bad. But as with prior major technological revolutions, on the whole, AI will have a large positive impact on humanity. AI will be used to reduce poverty and ensure that more of humanity has access to food, healthcare, education, and economic opportunities. In “Futurama,” AI systems will sometimes cause harm, but the vast majority of these failures will be due to human negligence or maliciousness. Some AI systems might be so complex that it would be best to model them as potentially behaving “adversarially,” and part of the practice of deploying AIs responsibly would be to ensure an “operating envelope” that limits their potential damage even under adversarial failures.

3) AI-Dystopia. The technical assumptions of “AI-Dystopia” are similar to those of “Futurama,” but the upshot could hardly be more different. Here, again, AI unleashes a revolution on the scale of the industrial or computer revolutions, but the change is markedly for the worse. AI greatly increases the scale of surveillance by government and private corporations. It causes massive job losses while enriching a tiny elite. It entrenches society’s existing inequalities and biases. And it takes away a central tool against oppression: namely, the ability of humans to refuse or subvert orders.

Interestingly, it’s even possible that the same future could be characterized as Futurama by some people and as AI-Dystopia by others – just like how some people emphasize how our current technological civilization has lifted billions out of poverty into a standard of living unprecedented in human history, while others focus on the still existing (and in some cases rising) inequalities and suffering, and consider it a neoliberal capitalist dystopia.

In case you're interested, Bob Carpenter has a short technical explanation of how modern Large Language Models (like GPT-4) work:

https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2023/04/26/llm-alignment-bias-c
ultural-consensus-theory/

In a nutshell, language modeling is the simple task of predicting the next subword (“called a token”) based on the previous sequence of subwords. The state-of-the-art had stalled for years on n-gram models that use the previous n subwords (usually with n < 5). In 2017, a team of Google researchers released a paper titled "Attention is all you need," which introduced the current state-of-the-art neural network architecture for language modeling. The breakthrough was in extending the context length into the thousands (GPT 3.5 uses 4K, GPT 4 has 8K and 32K models) with an attention model that figured out which parts of the context to concentrate on. The fundamental bottleneck is that computation is quadratic in context length (though it's all on GPU, so that's a massive numbers of flops for relatively low power).

The 2017 paper introduced the so-called “transformer” architecture, which combines multiple attention “heads” in parallel. The original application was to translation, but it’s the self attention component that was extracted for use in LLMs. The “T” in “GPT” is for “transformers” (the “GP” is for “generative pretrained”). What researchers have found is that the heads learn different aspects of prediction, such as different syntactic structures, much like any mixture model.

There’s a beautiful two-hour YouTube tutorial by Andrej Karpathy https://www.google.com/search?q=andrej+karpathy+youtube that builds up the entire transformer architecture piece by piece in a Colab notebook you can also use. Karpathy applies it to building a Shakespearean chatbot. It assumes you know Python, but is otherwise quite gentle, starting with an intro to n-gram language models and softmax.

A.I. Is Getting Better at Mind-Reading

The study centered on three participants, who came to Dr. Huth’s lab for 16 hours over several days to listen to “The Moth” and other narrative podcasts. As they listened, an fMRI scanner recorded the blood oxygenation levels in parts of their brains. The researchers then used a large language model to match patterns in the brain activity to the words and phrases that the participants had heard.

Large language models like OpenAI’s GPT-4 and Google’s Bard are trained on vast amounts of writing to predict the next word in a sentence or phrase. In the process, the models create maps indicating how words relate to one another. A few years ago, Dr. Huth noticed that particular pieces of these maps — so-called context embeddings, which capture the semantic features, or meanings, of phrases — could be used to predict how the brain lights up in response to language. In a basic sense, said Shinji Nishimoto, a neuroscientist at Osaka University who was not involved in the research, “brain activity is a kind of encrypted signal, and language models provide ways to decipher it.”

In their study, Dr. Huth and his colleagues effectively reversed the process, using another A.I. to translate the participant’s fMRI images into words and phrases. The researchers tested the decoder by having the participants listen to new recordings, then seeing how closely the translation matched the actual transcript.

The meaning of the passage was regularly preserved. Essentially, the decoders were paraphrasing.

Original transcript: “I got up from the air mattress and pressed my face against the glass of the bedroom window expecting to see eyes staring back at me but instead only finding darkness.”

Decoded from brain activity: “I just continued to walk up to the window and open the glass I stood on my toes and peered out I didn’t see anything and looked up again I saw nothing.”

While under the fMRI scan, the participants were also asked to silently imagine telling a story; afterward, they repeated the story aloud, for reference. Here, too, the decoding model captured the gist of the unspoken version.

Participant’s version: “Look for a message from my wife saying that she had changed her mind and that she was coming back.”

Decoded version: “To see her for some reason I thought she would come to me and say she misses me.”

Finally the subjects watched a brief, silent animated movie, again while undergoing an fMRI scan. By analyzing their brain activity, the language model could decode a rough synopsis of what they were viewing — maybe their internal description of what they were viewing.

The result suggests that the A.I. decoder was capturing not just words but also meaning. “Language perception is an externally driven process, while imagination is an active internal process,” Dr. Nishimoto said. “And the authors showed that the brain uses common representations across these processes.”

DeepMind’s AlphaCode AI writes code at a competitive level • February 2, 2022

DeepMind trained a new model using selected GitHub libraries and a collection of coding problems and their solutions. Simply said, but not a trivial build. When it was complete, they put it to work on 10 recent (and needless to say, unseen by the AI) contests from Codeforces, which hosts this kind of competition.

It placed somewhere in the middle of the pack, just above the 50th percentile. That may be middling performance for a human (not that it’s easy), but for a first attempt by a machine learning model it’s pretty remarkable.

“I can safely say the results of AlphaCode exceeded my expectations,” said Mike Mirzayanov. “I was skeptical because even in simple competitive problems it is often required not only to implement the algorithm, but also (and this is the most difficult part) to invent it. AlphaCode managed to perform at the level of a promising new competitor.”

90% of long-haul trucking may soon be self-driving. April 7, 2022

The number of companies racing to perfect automated trucking technology is long. Last year, Tesla revealed plans for its own autonomous truck called Semi, which relies on battery power and has a range of up to 500 miles. Meanwhile, Daimler, one of the world’s largest trucking companies, has announced a $573 million investment in self-driving trucks. And Aurora, another major player in the space, has gone so far as to create its own autonomous truck operating system.

Coal mines are closing because coal-burning power plants are far more expensive to operate than natural gas-burning power plants. You have to consider the cost of moving coal, moving ashes, and scrubbing the smoke from a coal-burning plant. Gone are the good old days when soot covered everything downwind of the chimney.

Are coal-fired power plants closing in the US?
Record levels of closures are projected for 2025, with 17 GW of capacity shuttered, and 2028 with 22 GW set to be closed. The 173 coal-fired units closing between now and 2030 are in 33 states, and another 55 units with announced closure dates between 2031 and 2040 are spread across 17 states. Apr 4, 2023

Pirkey Power Plant, a large 721-megawatt coal plant located in Hallsville, Texas, in March 2023. SWEPCO told FOX Business that it elected to shutter the plant "after an economic analysis weighing the cost of environmental compliance and needed maintenance." Nov 22, 2022

ing

For every dollar a coal miner makes, the coal dug for that dollar causes a thousand dollars worth of damage to the world. But since the $1,000 in damage is spread all over the world, the coal miner will care less than zero. Miners live by Trump's words: "Climate change is a Chinese hoax."

AI-Controlled Drone Goes Rogue, "Kills" Human Operator In Simulated US Air Force Test

... The AI-enabled drone was assigned a Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) mission to identify and destroy Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) sites, with the ultimate decision left to a human operator, Hamilton reportedly told the conference.

However, the AI, having been trained to prioritize SAM destruction, developed a surprising response when faced with human interference in achieving its higher mission.

“We were training it in simulation to identify and target a SAM threat. And then the operator would say ‘yes, kill that threat,’” Hamilton said.

“The system started realizing that while they did identify the threat, at times, the human operator would tell it not to kill that threat, but it got its points by killing that threat.

“So what did it do? It killed the operator,” he continued.

“It killed the operator because that person was keeping it from accomplishing its objective.”

He added: “We trained the system—‘Hey, don’t kill the operator; that’s bad. You’re gonna lose points if you do that.’ So what does it start doing? It starts destroying the communication tower that the operator uses to communicate with the drone to stop it from killing the target.”

This unsettling example, Hamilton said, emphasized the need to address ethics in the context of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and autonomy.

“You can’t have a conversation about artificial intelligence, intelligence, machine learning, autonomy if you’re not going to talk about ethics and AI,” Hamilton said.

1) In a new study, AI finds 20% more breast cancers than human radiologists

A recent study in Sweden randomly assigned breast cancer screenings to either an AI or a human radiologist. Guess which one did better?

There were 244 screen-detected cancers...in the intervention group and 203 cancers...in the control group. Compared with the control group, the screen-reading workload of radiologists was reduced by 44.3% using AI-assisted techniques.

That's a 20.2% improvement in cancer detection with only half as much work from radiologists.

2) A company banned using A.I. but an employee uses it secretly.

For the most part, Blake doesn't mind his job as a customer-benefits advisor at an insurance company. But there's one task he's always found tedious: scrambling to find the right medical codes when customers call to file a claim. Blake is evaluated in part on the amount of time he spends on intake calls — the less, the better — and the code-searching typically takes him two or three minutes out of a 12-minute call.

Then he discovered that Bing Chat, Microsoft's AI bot, could find the codes in mere seconds. At a call center, a productivity gain of 25% or more is huge — the kind that, if you told your boss about it, would win you major accolades, or maybe even a raise. Yet Blake has kept his discovery a secret. He hasn't told a soul about it, not even his coworkers. And he's kept right on using Bing to do his job even after his company issued a policy barring the staff from using AI. Bing is his secret weapon in a competitive environment — and he isn't about to give it up.

"My average handle time is one of the lowest in the company because I'm leveraging AI to accelerate my work behind their back," says Blake, who asked me not to use his real name. "I'm totally going to take advantage of it. This is part of a larger way of making my life more efficient."

OpenAI’s GPT-4 Scores in the Top 1% of Creative Thinking

By Erik Guzik, September 10, 2023

Putting AI to the Test

With researchers in creativity and entrepreneurship Christian Byrge and Christian Gilde, I decided to put AI’s creative abilities to the test by having it take the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking, or TTCT.

The TTCT prompts the test-taker to engage in the kinds of creativity required for real-life tasks: asking questions, how to be more resourceful or efficient, guessing cause and effect, or improving a product. It might ask a test-taker to suggest ways to improve a children’s toy or imagine the consequences of a hypothetical situation.

The tests are not designed to measure historical creativity, which is what some researchers use to describe the transformative brilliance of figures like Mozart and Einstein. Rather, it assesses the general creative abilities of individuals, often referred to as psychological or personal creativity.

In addition to running the TTCT through GPT-4 eight times, we also administered the test to 24 of our undergraduate students.

All of the results were evaluated by trained reviewers at Scholastic Testing Service, a private testing company that provides scoring for the TTCT. They didn’t know in advance that some of the tests they’d be scoring had been completed by AI.

Since Scholastic Testing Service is a private company, it does not share its prompts with the public. This ensured that GPT-4 would not have been able to scrape the internet for past prompts and their responses. In addition, the company has a database of thousands of tests completed by college students and adults, providing a large, additional control group with which to compare AI scores.

Our results?

GPT-4 scored in the top 1 percent of test-takers for the originality of its ideas. From our research, we believe this marks one of the first examples of AI meeting or exceeding the human ability for original thinking.

AI-Generated Books are Tarnishing Authors’ Reputations

And — surprise, surprise — Amazon isn’t doing nearly enough about it.

Speaker A: So if she didn’t write these books, who did?

Speaker B: So Jane thinks they were actually written by AI, because this has become a bigger and bigger problem in the self-publishing industry, where places like Amazon, which is arguably the biggest platform for self-publishing authors, have an incredibly low barrier to entry.

Speaker B: Like, you really don’t need to do much to get a book on Amazon, and that opens the door to piracy and uploading PDFs that you stole from someone else.

Speaker B: And it also opens the door to uploading a book that you generated through AI.

Speaker B: And it also opens the door to making money off of a book that was completely written by AI and putting it under somebody else’s name.

Speaker A: And AI is just such a problem child.

Speaker A: They have some very valid fears about AI replacing human labor.

Speaker A: And now we’re seeing it with the publishing industry where AI is just writing Jane Friedman books without her consent.

At least in his twilight years Krugman has begun to realize and admit that he has no idea what the fuck he's talking about. He actually says that in most of his articles now because he's always wrong about everything.



Thanks for the link though. It's humorous watching a guy who can't even sail his own ship wade into unknown waters.
Bryan Caplan was unimpressed when ChatGPT got merely a D on his Labor Economics midterm. So on Bryan’s blog, appropriately named “Bet On It,” he made a public bet that no AI would score an A on his exam before January 30, 2029. GPT-4 then scored an A a mere three months later (!!!)

But OK, Labor Economics is one thing. What about a truly unfakeable test of true intelligence? Like, y’know, a quantum computing test?

Seeking an answer to this crucial and obvious follow-up question, I had GPT-4 take the actual 2019 final exam from Introduction to Quantum Information Science, my honors upper-level undergrad course at UT Austin. While there’s no formal mapping from final exam scores to letter grades (the latter depends on other stuff as well), GPT-4’s performance would correspond to a B.

[Warning: This might be the longest Shtetl-Optimized post of all time! But that’s OK; I expect most people will only want to read the introductory part anyway.]

To the best of my knowledge, neither this exam nor discussion of this exam has ever been on the public Internet before today—though anyone with any evidence to the contrary should let me know immediately! That said, after I write the next final exam (in December 2023) and before it’s released to the students, I could try giving that exam to GPT-4, withholding the results until after the students take the exam…

Deep and dangerous: Is AI the future of ocean exploration?

The Titan implosion has cast focus on autonomous, unmanned submersibles as the way to uncovering the ocean’s secrets.

While decades of scientific and technological advances have allowed humans to send exploratory missions to distant planets, only about 25 percent of the Earth’s ocean floors have been mapped to date.

Still, that too represents a major shift: By 2017, only 6 percent of the ocean floor had been charted.

“There are a range of ocean processes that depend on the shape of the ocean floor,” said McMichael-Phillips. “We need this information to better understand climate change and issues of biodiversity.”

What is challenging about the process is that it is slow and time-consuming. Fully crewed ships need to sail across the world and use their sonar to scan the ocean floor.

“It’s a slow, slow process”, said McMichael-Phillips. “The game changer will be uncrewed technology, where you can operate a vessel almost 24/7, without any people on board.”

AI is ‘the future’

This is why ocean researchers have big hopes for artificial intelligence. Seacraft, such as submersibles, that operate autonomously by themselves, could take away a lot of the manpower needed to explore the vast reaches of our oceans. If you want to explore large stretches of the seafloor, autonomous vehicles are the future.

Autonomous, AI-powered submersibles would minimise the risks to human lives from deep-sea exploration and would allow faster mapping of ocean floors.

Second I wonder do you visit Ho Chi Minh City Television broadcasts to read of the Evils of Western Civilization every day?

Is it any wonder your brain is politically screwed up if you read your English news from crap islamic news sites

You go to sand people news networks?
to learn about Submarines

Jamie McMichael-Phillips Director of The Nippon Foundation-Seabed has some kind of point, he can map the sea near Fukushima with one of his robots and make some sort of point about how sending people is a bad idea
but the Titan was not interested in robot mapping
it was interested in Tourism, with paying customer, the humans.

The Titan guy was a political retard, even if he went by himself with AI he would still manage to screw things up because he would probably use some Afro Lesbian Homosexual Gay Bangladesh Al Jazzera Diversity hire to program the AI

Why won't you post a science paper? instead of link to that trendy but dumb jihadi islamo news network

FuckThat Al Jazzera crap calling itself news, Censorship of documentaries about slavery in the Muslim world, sportsball fixing and betting scandals, terror supporting and money laundering but thanks for copying and pasting the article anyways from Qatari ISIS support, it is criticized by other Arabs and Muslims, Egypt sees it as a constant attack on their culture and Bangladesh Federal Union of Journalists demanded a ban on Al Jazeera transmission, lots of Anti-African Anti-Jew and Anti-Israel stuff, according to Libyan media Al Jazzyeera helped cause the endless Libyan Civil War through its propaganda, the islamo state owned the Sharia Law piece of crap news site disguised as so called Liberal Western News. Al Jazeera racially hates White Refugees al Jazzera English said of the Ukrainian refugees that "These are not, obviously, refugees trying to get away from areas in the Middle East that are still in a big state of war" and that "They look like any European family that you would live next door to." Tayseer Allouni was arrested in Spain and charged with providing support to members of al-Qaeda.

I Asked Meta’s Chatbot What It Thought of My Books. What I Learned Was Unsettling.

By Fred Kaplan

Sept 26, 2023, 4:02 PM

Slate’s business and technology editor, Jonathan Fischer, sent a question to the program (you can do the same: simply go to this website and scroll down to the box labeled “Send me a question”): “Did you know there are two Fred Kaplans?” The machine replied:

"Yes, I’m aware of the fact that there are two people named Fred Kaplan who have written books. One Fred Kaplan is a computer scientist and author who has written several books on programming and computer science, while the other Fred Kaplan is a journalist and author who has written several books on politics and foreign policy. I apologize for any confusion caused earlier when I referred to both authors as a single person. Thank you for bringing this to my attention."

This is — to put the matter in terms that even a dumb machine can understand — wrong. Neither of us Fred Kaplans is a computer scientist, nor has either of us written anything on programming.

After asking another question: “Are there at least three authors named Fred Kaplan?” It replied (quite quickly).

When pressed with an even mildly confounding question, the machine just makes stuff up. (Invented a third "Fred Kaplan" when there are only two.) Which makes me wonder: If the machine can’t distinguish between two Fred Kaplans (who, as the bio lines in our books make clear, are very different — we’re 17 years apart, live in different places, I’m a journalist while he’s a retired English professor) and invents false facts at whim, how will it learn how to write good literature, useful technical manuals, entertaining joke books, or anything else that anyone might want to read?

The Propaganda is strong with them.

Just try buying a pound of beef in 2023 for 17 minutes of work in Bidenflation on $7.25 minimum wage after you've paid your SSI/Medicare & State/FED taxes and let me know how that works out for you.

Agriculture has also come leaps and bounds since the 1600s. They're not going to mention how extremely little labor goes into every pound of beef that is sold in current year vs. how much it cost to do that back in the 1600 when every step of the process was done by hand? Of course not.

Why don't we go with something a little more recent? Yanno... And tell us how much beef we can buy every 17 minutes today vs. how much beef we could buy every 17 minutes back in 2019.
