AI is the next big thing

IB?

Except those can also be done by the AI… Only higher level programming might still be needed for software development, but base level will potentially go away.

Interesting thread.

To me, education will be the thing that needs major overhaul. Teach people to think and evaluate which is where AI is lacking. The current STEM for math and science regurgitation only teaches how to follow steps 1, 2, and 3 which is what AI can do. (I am still hesitant to call it AI as opposed to very high level algorithms as it still cannot evaluate responses for more than simply potential factual responses and mass information processing. Little abstract or new creative development - simply recreating different versions of things out there).

Trust me… this is what I do…

I know. I also spend nights with computer engineers and programmers from upper level management at major companies like IBM having these exact discussions.

The only constant is that what ever we think will happen will likely be incomplete or take an unexpected turn.

Will be interesting to see how it plays out in the next few years. Hopefully after I have moved in a cabin in the country.

Hmm…I wonder if A.I. can help me get a girlfriend :thinking:

Not sure how much credit to give to ChatGPT.

"“My husband was actually like, ‘Oh, didn’t we have a brokerage account?’” Allan recalled.

“There’s $10,200 sitting in this account that is available. Like I could literally cry right now,” she said in a TikTok video."

Seems like telling someone to check if they have money saved somewhere is not all that hard. Or at least it shouldn’t be that hard to need AI help.

ABC News must be one of those untrustworthy sources then.

Another one of those things that sounds cool, but is it really? Depends on how long those robots last without any maintenance. It said the farm would need 5 at $50,000 each. So $250,000 would pay for some 15,000 man hours for migrant farm workers in California (couple years worth of pulling weeds). Another one of those situations where I wonder how much better is it really. If the machines last 10 years without much maintenance or new programming for different weed types, savings will show as beneficial.

What does untrustworthy have to do with it… It provided facts, but yes, the headline is misleading and requires readers to actually pay attention to what they are reading. Which sadly now-a-days few people in general can do.

News outlets are trying to get people to click their stories not evaluate the actual benefit of the story. They do not care about common sense and unbiased reporting, only clicks. This article very much has a pro-AI bias.

AI are good at math? Who knew?

Looks like King Charles is going to be using ChatGPT…

I feel like your obsession with both EVs and AI kinda contradict each other considering AI and the data centers needed for AI contribute to serious carbon emissions

He’s mentioned that he’s interested in technology.

Actually, the AI public versions did relatively
poorly; not even getting bronze.

In fact, public models did a pretty terrible job at the task. Researchers ran the questions through Gemini 2.5 Pro, Grok-4, and OpenAI o4, and none of them were able to score higher than 13 points, which is short of the 19 needed to take home a bronze medal.

I’m looking forward to real AI being able to offer up a proof of the Riemann Hypothesis or
solve any one of the other 5 remaining Clay’s Millienium Challenge problems. When that happens, we can safely say AI has equaled or
surpassed the greatest human minds. Will that be next week or next decade ?
