• Happy Birthday 75 Years of Artificial Intelligence

    From Mild Shock@21:1/5 to Mild Shock on Mon Oct 21 14:33:07 2024
    Hi,

    Happy Birthday 75 Years of Artificial Intelligence. Mostlikely AI
    was born around 1950. Here what happened in this decade:

    1) "Perceptron":
    Rosenblatt's perceptrons were initially simulated on an
    IBM 704 computer at Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory in 1957.
    Mark I Perceptron machine, the first implementation of
    the perceptron algorithm. It was connected to a camera
    with 20×20 cadmium sulfide photocells to
    make a 400-pixel image.
    https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perzeptron

    2) "Voder"
    The Bell Telephone Laboratory's Voder (abbreviation of
    Voice Operating Demonstrator) was the first attempt to
    electronically synthesize human speech by breaking it down
    into its acoustic components. The Voder was developed from
    research into compression schemes for transmission of voice
    on copper wires and for voice encryption. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsdOej_nC1M

    3) "Mini-Chess"
    Los Alamos chess was the first chess-like game played by a
    computer program. This program was written at Los Alamos
    Scientific Laboratory by Paul Stein and Mark Wells for the
    MANIAC I computer in 1956. The computer was primarily
    constructed to perform calculations in support of hydrogen bomb
    research at the Laboratory, but it could also play chess! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAVT4rZbcGE

    Hi,

    Does ChatGPT know the difference between "k" and "kkkkkkkkkk"?

    Q: how comes chatgpt understands shortcuts like k and thx?

    A: ChatGPT understands shortcuts like "k" (okay) and
    "thx" (thanks) because it's trained on a diverse dataset
    that includes both formal and informal language, including
    slang, abbreviations, and internet shorthand.

    Q: kkkkkkkkkk is more russian

    A: You're right! The use of "kkkkkkkkkk" as a way to
    express laughter is common in some Russian-speaking
    communities, similar to "lol" in English. It often
    represents laughter in a way that mimics the sound.

    Woa!

    Hi,

    So this study colleague with his Flavia, the female
    mathematician, has given me something to think about.
    Why don't I react exactly the same as him?

    Maybe he's a different strain of homosapiens?
    And therefore rules differently than me, at least
    I never had a fetish for female mathematicians,

    a contradiction to determinism?
    Ha ha, now I can feed you something again:

    Hi,

    One could now assume that this dualism
    prevents artificial intelligence. Because
    seeing “pink” leads to feeling “pink”.
    In this respect, this is also a very

    interesting book, perhaps of historical interest?

    How Monkeys See the World
    ”A fascinating intellectual odyssey and a
    superb summary of where science stands.” https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/H/bo3774491.html

    My guess ChatGPT proves that dualism does
    not prevent artificial intelligence. And
    how does ChatGPT manage it?

    I suspect the Knowlegde Acquisition
    Bottleneck has been cracked. Even though
    ChatGPT doesn't have a "Pink" feeling,

    it still has the semantic network of "Pink"
    and can have a say. It was already heard through
    the grapevine in 2018 that something was being

    done, but back then it was a rather skeptical vote:

    Did We Just Replace the ‘Knowledge Bottleneck’
    With a ‘Data Bottleneck’? https://cacm.acm.org/blogcacm/did-we-just-replace-the-knowledge-bottleneck-with-a-data-bottleneck/

    The "Too good to be true, in fact." turned into
    a "Heureka, it works!" right before our eyes.
    The date of birth was:

    Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 (GPT-3)
    OpenAI - 28. Mai 2020, Wired reported that
    GPT-3 "sends shivers down spines in Silicon Valley." https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_Pre-trained_Transformer_3#Rezeption

    Have Fun!

    Hey folks, please take note:

    "Rust is the last programming language made for humans
    that we'll need. Future languages will be optimized for
    machines, where AI handles all the coding" https://twitter.com/nath_simard/status/1816147809608851830

    Sounds like utter bullshit to me. Must be a
    stupid AI, that cannot do the safety precautions
    of Rust. Why would I need rust, if I have an AI?

    For this exampe, the AI might generate:

    #include <stdio.h>

    int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    printf("Hello %s\n", argv[0]);
    }

    Which might indeed generate a segfault. In
    case there are zero arguments, argv[0] might
    hafe the value NULL. https://www.tu-chemnitz.de/urz/archiv/kursunterlagen/C/kap3/argmain.htm

    So why blame the target language, and not the AI?
    This is a red herring argument in favor of Rust.

    Hi,

    I have a "silent AI burnout". Means I am
    currently doing some other stuff. This very
    much unlike modern AI, which is measured

    by tokens throughput:

    I guess my natural intelligence is currently ranking

    Hi,

    We are getting replaced by AI!

    "I've tried every AI Coding agent and IDE,
    As someone who's been coding for 20 years,
    I think coding as we know it is cooked" https://twitter.com/johnrushx/status/1851504314839416871

    Is this some news? I don't think so:

    Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Low-Code Application
    Platforms Strategic Planning Assumptions
    By 2024, three-quarters of large enterprises will be
    using at least four low-code development tools for both
    IT application development and citizen
    development initiatives.
    By 2024, low-code application development will be
    responsible for more than 65% of application
    development activity.
    https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper
    /989250d49fe36bad70df5b272b54a8403e471678

    The above report was published in 2019, thats almost
    5 years ago. But mostlikely their Strategic Planning
    Assumptions for 2024 hasn't materialized yet. Whats the

    current Low Code penetration, is it already severe?

    Hi,

    Spain is one of the main recipients of EU recovery funds,
    with a total of 163 billion euros ($178 billion) earmarked
    for the country, approximately half in grants and the rest
    in loans. It has already received 37 billion euros.

    Madrid and software.imdea.org is no exception. Probably
    the same disaster as the Valencia floods. The money
    is just siphoned into some crooks pockets. The biggest
    crooks are at the moment ALP & friends,

    just publishing a series of failure reports. Every
    paper just reports some problems, never solutions.
    Most recent cringe example:

    BoostRLR: The beauty of Prolog for statistical
    relational learning https://www.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/fileadmin/10030600/2024/KI_2004_paper_174.pdf

    What the fuck does this mean:

    In SWI-Prolog, this can rely on an efficient specialised
    implementation of aggregate_all(count,_,_), while we provide
    a dedicated low-level XSB implementation in a count module
    that we include with our program, courtesy of David S.
    Warren (personal communication).

    Why is change_arg/3 not common among Prolog systems.
    Why do we deal with aggregates like we are still in
    stone age. Aggregates are a well known discipline
    of database technology.

    Why only aggregate_all/2 and not also a memory savy
    solutions of aggregate/3. Aggregates are the bread
    and butter of statistics.

    Hi,

    Next issue 2:1 scheduled for January 2025 https://www.iospress.com/catalog/journals/neurosymbolic-artificial-intelligence

    What is Neuro-Symbolic AI?
    https://allegrograph.com/what-is-neuro-symbolic-ai/

    Connectionists methods combined with symbolic
    methods? BTW: Not something new really, but
    nevertheless, the current times might ask for
    more interdisciplinary work.

    The article by Ron Sun, Dual-process theories,
    cognitive architectures, and hybrid neural-
    symbolic models, even admits it:

    "This idea immediately harkens back to the 1990s
    when hybrid models first emerged [..] Besides
    being termed neural-symbolic or neurosymbolic models,
    they have also been variously known as connectionist
    symbolic model, hybrid symbolic neural networks,
    or simply hybrid models or systems.

    I argued back then and am still arguing today [..]
    . In particular, within the human mental architecture,
    we need to take into account dual processes (e.g.,
    as has been variously termed as implicit versus explicit,
    unconscious versus conscious, intuition versus reason,
    System 1 versus System 2, and so on, albeit sometimes
    with somewhat different connotations). Incidentally,
    dual-process (or two-system) theories have become quite
    popular lately."

    Ok I will take a nap, and let my automatic
    processing do the disgesting of what he wrote.

    LoL

    Hi,

    Chatgpt is definitely unreliable.

    So is stackoverflow, you have no guarantee
    to get a realiable answer. Sometimes they
    have even biased nonsense, due to the over

    representation of certain communities on
    stackoverflow. But ChatGPT it is easier to
    re-iterate a problem and explore solutions,

    you don't get punished for sloppy questions,
    or changing topic midflight exploring corner
    digging deeper and deeper.

    ChatGPT certainly beats stackoverflow.

    Also stackoverflow is extremly hysteric about
    keeping every comment trail, and has a very
    slow garbage collection. I think stackoveflow

    automatically deletes a answer with negative
    votes after a while. On the other hand ChatGPT
    keeps a side bar with all the interactions,

    and you can delete an interaction any time
    you want to do so. There is no maniac idea to
    keep interactions. Stackoverflow possibly

    only keeps this interactions to be able to
    send people to their virtual prison. Basically
    they have become a perverted para-governemental

    institution that exercises violence.
