That does sound impressive, but I'll be really impressed when the AI model actually can tell me what the hell "solve all of physics" means
Also,
No matter how "good" these models get, Douglas Adams has been too popular on the internet for this to ever succeed. All AIs based on data scraping will be forced to respond '42' to all inquiries of that sort.-
How many roads must a man walk down?

42 roads

the day is approaching when we can ask an ai model to solve all of physics and it can actually create raving nonsensical rants claiming to be a grand unified theory of everything while denouncing the academic establishment for ignoring its genius, thereby automating the thankless task of giving physics grad students someone to punch down on
-
So timecubeism
-
a classic, and it's certainly in the training data
-
For centuries, humanity has worked towards building an AI that will understand all of physics. Now, upon completion, we have learned that the key lies in the idea of "four simultaneous 24-hour days".
This is my new screenplay idea.

Generative crankery

it's clearly the future
buy buy buy buy our bespoke political t-shirts and plaster your exact species of brainworms on your torso for all the world to see!

It pisses me off how biggest proponents of "AI" don't seem to understand how these algorithms even work. No, LLMs literally cannot "solve physics", whatever that means
-
Going to laugh when the LLM comes back with 42
-
"Alexa, solve physics"

-
this is some primo ouroboros shit
-
Altman is just doing marketting when he talks about the dangers of AI taking over.
-

my friend is doing gig work to make chatgpt better at just boring old textbook physics problems, and it's complete dogshit at it. so uh, sure man. nice
you got there.-
Didn't they manage to make it somewhat good at solving certain math competition problems? Regardless it's a pretty big jump from that to making a breakthrough in physics.
-
I think they had to connect it to Wolfram Alpha
-
Yeah deepmind had good results with IMO problems, but only geometry problems. They scored almost at the level of gold medalist. That's only a fraction of IMO problems, though. They did it by combining a formal verification system with a LLM to propose solution paths, and then doing some tree search I think.
This is one way to improve large AI systems and will probably be incorporated in some way in the future, for example by integrating with a language like lean (for math proofs).
They will also be improved by combining with tool use like calculators, code interpreters, web search, calendars, etc. This is already starting to happen to some extent.
LLMs by themselves, at least with current architectures using transformers, are not great at reasoning (counting, arithmetic, symbolic reasoning)

This is just the infinite corridor of monkeys and typewriters bit but played straight, lol
-
what is solving? what is all? what is physics?
-
Unified field theory, or the theory of everything: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_everything basically uniting general relativity and quantum mechanics.

Unless these morons are hiding an honest to god AGI in their back pocket, they're fully insane, and it's boring at this point.
Even if they do, it's probably a mechanical turk somehow. I don't believe these dunces capable of making an actual gestalt organism
-
Guys, AI just needs a lot more money and it'll work.
- Write down the problem.
- Think real hard.
- Write down the solution.
-
A lotta yall still don’t get it
AI holders can solve physics with a single AI
-
How many slurp juices?

-
real "my dad works at GameCube" energy
-
After humans solve the problem and post it online somewhere to be hoovered by a LLM data scraper, an AI will be able to solve the problems already solved by humans.
-
Me when I train a LLM with things that humans have made and done, doing nothing but remixing the training data: "create something novel?" "No."
-
People legit think that this is the entirety of human creation: only remixing the past
-
-
"solve all of physics" what the fuck does that even meam
-
It will automatically spit out the designs for a warp drive.

I have wonder that while I have no doubt that Altman (a finance guy) has little to no actual understanding of "AI", whether he truly believes these claims. The business relies on securing astronomical amounts of venture capital, practically requiring anywhere between bold embellishment and outright lies. So what's the repercussions for the latter? As long as you let the real wealth pull out their investment before the bottom falls out and let the retail investors take the hit, probably zero. Even if you don't do that, at worst you get a short stay in Club Fed like Holmes. On the other hand, I'm still fairly skeptical that any valley finance guy is actually that cognizant.

he is a hype guy, not a finance guy

AI
solve
solve all physics

It's really just classic snake oil salesman behavior but it attracts massive VC investment because it promises to discipline labor. Even when the tool doesn't work to reduce labor costs (because occasionally it does), buying it and threatening people with it pays dividends.
-
Get the AI to solve the incompleteness of logic problem first, Sam
-
New bit idea: whenever someone reaches a net worth in the 9 figures or above, they get a state-appointed scientist to follow them to meetings and interviews and loudly shout them down whenever they make an indefensible prediction (this is a lot nicer than my preferred bit idea)
-
The preferred bit idea is also giving that scientist a gun and one free presidential pardon at any time of their choosing, then letting nature take its course.

Isn't this the guy in prison for bitcoin crimes?

I get them mixed up!

Not all "tech bros" are brainless idiots who like to suck billionaries balls. I'm a fierce advocate of Free Software (as in freedom) , AI hater, I have class consciousness and I'm aware of all the contradictions of capitalism. Contradictory or not I live in Germany
-
its more of the idea tbh
people thinking that tech will solve everything, despite it not doing that much actually in the labor saving department
-
-
The day of the heat death of the universe is also approaching.
-
Why do we need AI when Terrance Howard already solved this by properly unfolding the flower of life
-
Technically he said that AI could understand all of physics which is a slightly different thing. Still silly as practically that just means “AI gonna do better physics modeling” which is more an incremental improvement on current systems than reinventing the wheel.
-
I can't wait to be able to walk on walls and jump so freaking high when all the physics are solved, thanks AI!
-
I don't think I want to live in a universe where physics is "solved"
