Im definitely on the side that over using AI and using it commercially seems to be bad. On the other hand, it seems like a tech that has huge potential upsides. I’m not sure we can achieve a post scarcity society with all labor being done by humans. This is where I see AI becoming a massive tool. Assuming we can pair it with mechanical means of work, not strictly digital. I know it’s a touchy subject but I want to hear your opinion. As always, if you’re just going to tell me to read more, recommend literature.

    There are also serious gains to be made in science on the back of AI models, just not the flavors most people are familiar with.

    Edit: The missing permanence might also be a reason for many of the issues of LLM’s, some kind of “self” with a sense of the passage of time to return to. I’m pretty sure i’m not the first one who thought of that, and there are probably a lot of people with even more PhDs at work here.

    Image generation uses a concept of a LORA that is a bolt-on model to augment a base model. It can provide support for additional tokens (those map more or less to words and concepts), or bias the base model on existing tokens. For now, that’s probably as close as you’re going to get to anything resembling long-term-memory on an LLM.

      Of course, i was just fixated on the GenAI-Aspect of the question. Climate modeling, Medicine (especially diagnostic and neurosciences), physics, chemistry and even social sciences can benefit a lot. In the manufacturing process it can be used for control of industrial processes (e.g. balancing of a chemical process; i know it’s used in QC in production of electronics). This IS the next big thing, but not in the way the corpos try to sell it to us.

      Yeah, for the moment, this is it. We will need more research in how to actually read the data inside of a neural network to be able to a) reroute pathways that are problematic and b) enable a process to hook inside of control points to modify it on the fly.
