I said the same thing the other day to people is that every "Innovation" from all public companies think of it as an ad for their stock market, and now we have the "AI" words for their ad business, which kinda more concerning since can be more privacy nightmare than ads tracking. xd
I work in AI developing models.
The entire industry is currently filled with MBA jargon and people in suits trying to collect money from investors.
In the future, looking back on this decade will be super painful.
shady mechanics, ie technologists, swindling the uninformed is nothing new.
How long do we have before their stock crashes?
meh not any different from any other rush to capitalize on trend
I also work in AI. Granted a lot of companies are using AI as a silly marketing term but that doesn't mean there hasn't been massive innovation over the last few years.
yeah, the marketing nonsense is absurd.
I do find it disappointing that Linus is claiming LLMs are just faster versions of old tech. They are far closer to the entire language system of a human than they are to ELIZA. And GPT4-o isn't an LLM with its new multi-modality. These models are neither everything some promise them to be, nor as limited as many hope them to be.
You think we're actually going to crack AGI as the robots are put to work and add their data to the hoard @ducks742 or do you think we'll run out of processing power first?
in computer science in HIGH SCHOOL they made a big deal about the difference between artificial intelligence and machine learning. its like machine learning was completely removed from the dictionary in the past 2-3 years
Im from a country where pre bachelor/vocation CS education lacks a lot. What is the difference between both, i for real dont know what is it
@@naoyanaraharjo4693 Teaching computers to learn from data is machine learning wheras ai is more broad but closely associated with agi or thinking like a human
Thanks for pointing that out. Now I also remember reading this in high school. Basically we're still dealing with machine learning.
@@michealcondry5384 So according to you guys the real AI would be as useless as a baby and we would need to send them to school to learn all the stuff needed to help us? :/
@@naoyanaraharjo4693 I mean, Linus explains it in the very video you're watching... Just watch the video for a primer and we can clear up any details.
The previous explanation is misspeaking to the point of being inaccurate. "AI" does not exist presently. At all. Anywhere. There are NO actual "artificial intelligences" out there, yet. "AI" is a general term that marketing and executive wanks misuse. Entirely. "AI" is a concept of a system that can self-teach (learn) new things it hasn't seen before, on its own. That does not presently exist.
"Machine learning" is where some engineer _sets up explicit scenarios,_ like Linus talking about the person trying to sit in a chair. At first, the machine basically just permutates through possible methematical states, and adjusts things to be more and more in line with what it's _specifically told by the engineer_ is correct. It has ZERO idea what it's doing or why at ANY point in time, even _after_ it's "learned" to the point of being highly accurate at the task. It's LITERALLY just linear algebra spitting out numbers. There is never at any point anything remotely close to a "thought" in the system, unless you extend it out to the human engineer setting it all up.
"AI" would require the computer to set up those tests, confirm the results, and set up success conditions, _all on its own._ Ideally, while being able to explain what and why. No system currently does that with anything remotely approaching a complex task.
Imagine a man sitting at a computer. A series of Chinese symbols and characters appear on his screen. He spends his time and energy rearranging these symbols that he knows nothing about and has no context for. Sometimes a buzzer blares and he has to try again, but sometimes a bell rings and he gets to move on. After a long time of doing this, he's gotten pretty good at determining the pattern of the symbols that generally result in a bell instead of a buzzer.
Let's presume you can understand Chinese. You walk up to this man one day and ask him what he does. He explains that he plays this pattern recognition game where arranging these symbols in a way the computer likes lets you continue to the next one. On his screen in Chinese is the question "What is ice cream?", and you watch as he responds in perfect Chinese "Ice cream is a cold dessert food made of ice, sugar, and either milk or cream." You ask him if he knows what the symbols mean and he has no idea.
That is machine learning.
_"rearranging these symbols that he knows nothing about and has no context for."_ , that's the big problem the Chinese room experiment is pointing to. Because how would we know? He doesn't learn the context in the proces, how so? Would one be able to make a perfect translation without knowing the context? And even if it is the case that he doesn't, but he would still be able to produce perfect answers to questions, why would that make the answers useless if people would still be able to understand the answers; to curate the good ones? If that's the case, why would we not call those answers intelligent?
[I don't get why people like that "Chinese room" thought experiment] As if, if a model like that would make 3 stupid answers and one good one to a question about a cure for cancer, people would be rolling their eyes like: "Pffff this thing is stupid, it doesn't even understand the suggestions it makes1", well, _maybe_ , but that thing just got a cure for cancer. People make bad guesses too before they make a perfect one, who cares.
No it's not. If he did that a billion times with billion different contexts, he WOULD understand chinese. Deaf and blind people from birth can still understand the concepts of a picture or sound.
The first coming later finally able to understand Chinese would be the AGI
Or maybe never

"SmartTV" aka "now comes with built-in advertising"
It’s always marketing. I hate marketing. I worked at it for 3 years+ and I concluded that it was an art of deceiving customers.
I want a law, the right to not be advertised to
you're right, most of marketing and advertising advice out there is to trick, deceive or otherwise manipulate people into buying products. I've chosen to sell honestly, with products that I believe in and that sell themselves.
As a digital marketing professional, I think it’s somehow even worse than that. Nowadays, we don’t even try to deceive (or communicate with) humans anymore - most of what we do, most of the content we create is actually for Google’s crawler robots and indexing algorhythms. The absolute first priority is for the machine to like your content, everything else is secondary becuase if you can’t please the algorhythm, humans can’t even see what you put out there, so they don’t even have a chance to like or dislike it. To be honest, my career goal is to get to a point where I can use the skills and tools associated with digital marketing to support an organization or cause I believe in. To build a financial background secure enough to be able to work for NGOs or non-profit projects even if they don’t pay particularly well.
Taking a marketing class is like a crash course on psychology and propaganda at the same time.
On the other hand,
let´s say you personally are selling a product/service (maybe shooting weddings)
But there is 10 other people doing the same thing.
You kind of have to tell the potential customer, that you have the most modern tech and that you can do the best job, for a better price ratio.
Even though you know that you are probably not the best.
The solution is to let only one entrepreneur have an absolute monopoly?
Is there anything that can be done?
My org recently named a new "Chief AI Officer." He's got a masters in marketing and a GPT subscription. Apparently, that's all you need to get to the C-suite nowadays.
That makes sense, if he said he had 20 years of experience in AI then you know he's faking it. They mainly needed someone who was "with the times".
I've worked at places where I was in charge of something I wasn't qualified for because everyone else would have been worse at it.
@@sarahberkner "AI" has been on the go from even before the 1960s, Perceptrons were developed in the 50s I think, one could easily have 20 years of experience in machine learning, language modelling, generative models -- which is what people are calling AI now. Not that many people do I'm sure, but still.
It's going to become the same as how "Smart" got overused and is still overused to describe literally anything with internet or a timer of some sort.
Yup... bought a new fridge and apparently it's fucking sentient. Got ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE plastered on it. Must be shy though, hasn't said a word so far.
@@c50m4 AI colot oversaturion on my TV
I mean, at this point an appliance that can connect to the Internet and run a few apps is a reasonable definition of a "smart" appliance. Usually I feel like it's fairly clear what you're getting, although I guess there's a range of ability.
@@danieljensen2626agree with you, just the OP is saying that the term AI which ought to be a pretty dang impressive description of something artificially in a similar category to human intelligence, is going to get relegated to being defined as something far less impressive. Linus made the same point. Need a new term to represent the farther future of intelligence that comes closer to human.
AI is really bad. If you know anything about a topic, both GPT and Gemini fall apart. 95% of the time, its making things up. Semi advanced things like the effectiveness of spinosad as a pesticide for plants. Or a viroid called HLVD thats impacting plant growth. Or questions about auxins that promote root development, its always making things up in regards to these topics. Anything that goes beyond surcafe level "write me a better ending to my tv show" kind of stuff ends up giving you incorrect info. The worst part is, most people dont catch on.
AI Rice Cooker was the tipping point
Dankpods!
i shared the same sadness that wade did using that thing
No it was the AI thermal paste
They had me at AI screwdriver
Now, an AI toaster is truly terrifying ( red dwarf reference )
I mean, AI has always been a very general term even before all this AI craze. NPC behavior in-game was called AI, so was an AI general in a strategy game.
I think people can grasp the difference in the meaning of the term when talking about it in very different ways e.g. npc game AI in a AAA game vs AI that's designed to drive your car.
@@DaemonJax but is there and actual difference? Or is it just one is trained better?
The thing is, video game AI could arguably be considered in some forms to be more intelligent than this. Most NPC AI is based on state machines, which basically considers information about its surroundings to switch between pre-defined states. You could use machine learning to enhance that declarative programming by giving higher weighting to attack patterns that appear to be successful to make those states more likely. So called "generative" AI just does this on a pixel or character level, making specific words or patterns of pixels more likely based on input keywords, which means all it does is spit out averages of the input data. So the marketing term "AI" is actually based around the cult like idea of "emergent" programming, basically that if we throw enough data at the machine eventually it will stop averaging and start programming itself. Instead what we get is a lot of smoke and mirrors from people obsessively trying to coach these averaging machines to LOOK like they're creating novel outputs, while simultaneously stealing any and all data on the web to fuel their fraud.
This is a conversation that needs to continue happening. I’ve really struggled to explain to people that “AI” isn’t AI, and more importantly why it matters that we distinguish between AI and ML. In a way, it feels similar to the whole USB-C issue where the vast majority of the public didn’t understand that just because a connector is USB-C doesn’t mean that it’s fast, it just means that it’s USB-C and it’s important to distinguish between USB protocols vs USB connectors
You lost me with the USB part. I don't work in tech but it seemed obvious to me that AI is not sentient or is self-aware and doesn't have evil intentions because it doesn't have any intentions at all, it's basically regurgitating information and humans still need to weed through it. Some people find this hard to grasp.
However I hadn't thought about the fact that "artificial intelligence" isn't an accurate description. I think you could argue that it is accurate, in the same way that an artificial flavor doesn't taste quite the same as the natural flavor; artificial intelligence means it's like a substitute for intelligence.
@@sarahberkner Any such explanation of AI that you come up with can equally be applied to the human neurological pathway. One can just as easily argue that humans regurgitate information and give off the illusion of self-awareness.
@@spadaacca not really,, as linus says in the video AI doesnt actually understand what its doing. you can ask an artist to breakdown a drawing, and theyll tell you what they did, how the body interacts with the enviornment, etc. you can do the same thing with a writer, you can ask them why they wrote it, how they wrote it, etc. you try to ask an "AI" to breakdown anything it makes, and it wont understand it. AI doesn't iterate, humans do
@@jellyloab Is that different from us humans? We make about 35,000 decisions each day, and would struggle to explain our reasoning for most. For the ones we make consciously, we commit our thought processes and feelings to memory, allowing us to explain them after the fact.
Current LLM's do not commit any sort of thought process or internal monologue to memory, and so can only explain its reasoning using its previous output as context, i.e. it is not actually recalling, but creating an answer using its previous output as a reference. This does not mean, however, that there was no "thought process" (by which I mean "calculation") that went on to create the original output, nor is it a good measure of intelligence.
Linus's example of the AI struggling to count letters is also quite misleading: due to how current LLM's are designed and trained, they excel at pattern-based tasks, but tend to struggle with precise manipulation of symbols (hence why math can be so precarious too.) I'm not exactly sure what point Linus is trying to make here--is a child not intelligent if he struggles to count?
@@jellyloab Funny you should mention bodies interacting with their environments. I want you to do an experiment: go outside, take a jog. But tell your brain not to speed up your heart rate. Keep it at resting heart rate. Does it listen to your executive commands in the service of our supposed free will? I think a big part of this conversation leaves out just how little free will humans demonstratively posses. In that light, most of what a human is, is automation. I'm taking a bike ride today. That I decided to do - I decide to turn the pedals. But how my body accomplishes this task on an anatomical level isn't up to me; not one bit.
Machine learning engineer here (Image generation focus). I am so glad a major youtube channel finally got it right, rather than fear mongering. The amount of horrific information even from sources that should be educated on tech like this is truly disheartening. Thank you for this video, which seems to be a rare one with a relatively neutral look into a set of technologies that will continue to shape the world for many years to come.
Can i ask a sincere question? Why do you want to make generative images?
Can I ask you a quick question as another programmer who's dabbled in ML?
It seems to me that AI/ML is really just data science (or at least data-driven development).
My understanding is that it's basically just gradient descent used to optimize a function that maps inputs to outputs based on some loss function.
I learned how to fit data to a function via gradient descent in high-school statistics, and from what I see, fitting a 10,000 weight convolutional filter to a dataset isn't really all that different conceptually than using Excel to create a graph with a least-squares regression curve if you ignore the difference in dimensionality.
Do you agree/disagree with any of that? People keep saying AI is a bad term and people should call it ML instead, but even ML seems like a bit of a stretch if it's just data science curve fitting with some fancy gradient descent on top (albeit with a 10,000 dimension curve fit to millions data points). Seems to me the only reason people use the term AI/ML is to make it easier to get VC funding, because data-driven development doesn't sound cool or sexy.
+1 from another data and AI professional. I do ML every day for work and I couldn't have said it better than Linus. He's exactly right.
As an AI, I agree with this statement.
@@brydenfrizzell4344 ML is a subset of AI. ML is data science.
Totally agree on the misuse of the term "AI" in marketing. It's definitely creating confusion and sometimes even harm due to misconceptions.
this comment is going to blow up how am i so early
@@K131real 😂😅
Hard agree with you. 👏🏿
The moment they flashed all of the other Buzz words that have been used over the past few years in the tech industry, all the other crazy stuff that has happened in the tech industry Flashed in my head at the same time.
Especially 64-bit. That one got a laugh out of me.
Marketers picked it up, but it was academics who came up with the term and used it to define a subfield of computer science thst includes narrow AI.
Also, machine learning itself, which used to be called pattern matching.
It,'s not just industry on this hype train.
i feel like you could rebrand a 40-year old technology that involves a linear regression as AI and no one would bat an eye lol, weird times
Decades ago, the term I was told was “computers are only as smart as a human makes it”, even in this age of AI I still believe that is true
The power of a computer is equivalent to the universe but keep in mind not all equals are equal.
ftfy: "computers are only as smart as a human think they have made it seem”
This is even more true with machine learning. The main datasets used to create these models are text from the internet.
No.
Not true.
While not smarter than man now, they can be made to make themselves smarter.
Of course. And that's because we are consciousness, not objects.
I’m a tech hobbyist at best but seeing laymen being tricked into thinking that Ava or Glados is right around the corner infuriates me
Ok perhaps I’m a layman but how else are people supposed to interpret it when AI advances so insanely quickly?
@@seb1520 Only because you climb a tree insanely quickly it doesn't mean you will reach the Moon.
we are getting closer to a perfect copy of what a human seems to be, that is not a agi which is an absolute terrifying thing, but for the average person, if AI stopped at a simulacrum of us, we wouldnt care...and honestly it would probably be better for our species survival if we dont go making AI that can combine old and new concepts to come to a new answer, we dont even use that ability for good
Why would this infuriate you? Why would you be so sure it isn't? I get frustrated with the AGI hype train too but plenty of very well trained professionals are considering this possibility every day. Why would you insult your fellow laymen because they choose to listen to a different professional than you is misguided?
@@Slvl710 Yes, you are getting closer to the Moon by climbing a tree.
Essentially, corporations chose to muddy the definition of AI, for profit. Just like with Hoverboards. And now we need new words for those old things we envisioned...
Don't come up with new words. Refuse. Stick with the old ones. If people don't understand you, screw them.
How do we make sure this 'muddying' of words doesn't happen? Just call things more specifically and don't give a hyped up name? Or keep on doing what we're currently doing which is 'invent a new word for the previous expectation of the technology'?
oh dog, the "hoverboard" one was SO freaking stupid, it drove me nuts,
@@fireninja8250 It'll always happen honestly and it's not solely related to tech so we can't even stop it.

That's great actually. The ones using LLMs to code see the future that is coming.

Your wife's right, how could we have overlooked this critical fact??
It's been noted before. The Bob the Tomato part. It was in the second Linus Responds to Mean Comments video.
as someone who has studied for a university degree in AI, this whole hypetrain is extremely infuriating to me. Imagine you're a physicist and every physical product is called "black hole" because *technically* all mass has gravitational pull. Similarly, everything is called "AI" now because it has more than 500 lines of code.
Don't worry, give it a few years and they will move on to a new buzzword.
@@roymarshall_ Unfortunately the wreckage of old hypes doesn't magically go away, and will haunt everyone affected for decades to come, albeit in sanitized form. We're still dealing with fallout of the OOP hype in programming today, and that was, what, the 70s? And most programmers today would likely not even recognize which parts are the genuine concepts, and which parts are just holdovers from decades-old hype that have remained in use because "that's how we've always done it".
huh? this is nothing new. The bar for what was seen as AI was way lower than it is now
Behold! AI:
if (condition) {
//
} else {
//
}
If, as the paper suggests, an intelligent octopus faced with a bear attack doesn't know how to react, don't you think that if a human were to reincarnate as an octopus in the same scenario, they would respond similarly? We could perhaps improve the octopus's response to be scared of unknown situations.
Assuming that current AI is somewhat similar to humans based on this idea, aren't we essentially searching for something god-like? If AI could provide correct answers to any scenario, no matter how absurd or unexpected, could a human even handle it? For instance, if tomorrow everyone dies and you get shot to Mars, entering the 45th dimension where Mars is habitable, but you must return to 3D because in the 45th dimension you're a disabled person with no senses, and the 45th dimension's version of Elon Musk keeps you as a pet in his belly pouch called '&%&^5757,' how would humans solve a question this?
And, If AI could take even one step toward solving this scenario, as Linus suggests, by using context clues to make sense of an absurd situation and lead us to the correct answer, then wouldn't that AI be able to solve any issue, no matter how absurd? At that point, wouldn't it be considered not just software, but something god-like?
Or is AGI simply about quantifying all five human senses-vision, hearing, touch, smell, and taste-in numbers and then training on the thousands of ways humans have developed machine learning techniques (perceptrons, neural networks, U-Net, transfer learning, Gradient Descent, Stochastic gradient descent, PSO, Bird Swarm Algorithm, Transformers, and Thousands more)?
What is it what is AGI is it a search for GOD or is it making a Human so perfect its basically GOD ?
This is some Really Mind Bending Shit......
Nobody realizes the news is lying until they talk about something you're knowable about. Then we go back to thinking they're experts on everything else, lol.
no one doing the news are experts on that subject - they just interview "experts" which tend to lie to you/them or don't bother actually specifying it further because they're... well either part of the company, don't actually know what they're talking about - or simply forget that they should specify things for the average viewer.
kinda like that person that was (or still is? don't know if that stopped ever since he got called out a while ago) giving cyber security tipps to companies and gets invited to train their people, while literally providing "proof of his work" with issue report ids - with the exception that he's not listed on any except for one (and blows the issue up bigger than it was) and no one listed on the other ids even knowing him - same concept, the people tasked with hiring someone for that don't know about it as the stuff they have to know about is an entirely different topic and just assume that it's correct all while not having the time (or resources) to contact anyone listed/read through more than the first.
@@Unknown_Genius Some stuff is such a simple search to find. I've seen absolutely ridiculous claims made by anchors that anyone even remotely knowledgeable wouldn't have made. To your first point, I can think of many examples of anchors talking out their butts like experts but you're probably right that they're just repeating what they were told without digging into the topic whatsoever.
100%. Right between the eyes.
Just like a certain pandemic
@@Unknown_Genius what you are missing is that news isn't news anymore, it is entertainment, and saying the facts is boring, and doesn't get ratings. All 'news' cares about now is viewing figures, so BS'ing about AI and everything else is ok, as long as when they go to ads there are plenty of eyeballs still watching.
I appreciate hearing someone say the actual truth about “AI”. Try doing anything novel with it and it can’t. It’s just an amazing pattern recognition and replay system.
70$ for a screwdriver?
That last paragraph is really soul chilling... some definite Cyberpunk 2077 vibes there, and not in a good way...
"The folks in charge of helping us deal with all of this have a lot less funding than the ones who are trying to sell it to us"
Would also add that those in charge are taking advice and lobby dollars from the CEOs of the companies selling it to us.
Deus Ex crew checking in
Yeah, it's getting way too easy for bad actors to deepfake evidence that can have very chilling impacts. Wanna get rid of a political dissident? Just fabricate some video evidence on a CO2 belching AWS datacenter. Want to track a group of marginalized people? ML-powered face recognition software and the ever present cameras and GPS receivers with mobile internet connections makes that trivially easy. I honestly struggle to get excited about technology anymore because it seems like any developments (especially machine learning and ever-present telemetry spyware devices) are only ever bad for the working class. There may be some positive applications in the medical field or logistics management, for example, but overwhelmingly it's cars that report driving habits to insurance companies and law enforcement and have "autopilot" systems that are known to kill people (in no small part due to cost cutting), or buggy software, ads, and spyware in everyday appliances that used to at most have some simple microcontroller code that did exactly what it should and nothing else. I'm starting to think the Matrix had it right; maybe 1999 was the peak of human civilization (at least from a technological perspective).
Fallout would like a word as well
That's also an incorrect take. The ones 'helping us deal with it all', if I had to guess Linus political view, is the government. The last think the government is lacking is 'funding', and they will do their best to pass on more useless regulation, mostly with the intention to get more 'funding'.

If something is so novel that nobody has ever seen on the road before I think people would panic and cause more accidents than a self driving car would. Have you seen the way most people react under pressure? It's all eyes closed.
Have to think about a quote from Edsger Dijkstra:
"The effort of using machines to mimic the human mind has always struck me as rather silly. I would rather use them to mimic something better."
Thats the whole point of AGI?
From TH-cam channel Explaining Computer.
"The 2nd most intelligent specie on the planet is the dolphin, and we never expect dolphin to imitate a person..."
Better? I'm wondering what I'm supposed to get from that quote. It's too open-ended.
The problem with this quote is very simple. Despite our millennia of accumulated knowledge our own minds are by FAR the most advanced and capable thing we know of. And we barely understand just the most basic principals of their operation. Nothing is more capable of handling problems and adapting to new complex situations that the human mind. And by definition the capability of creating something better than a human mind, must include the capability of creating something as good as a human mind.
@@sunlaThe point of the quote is to ask why are we trying to make computers do what we can do, rather than what we CAN'T do? I.E., why are we trying to automate the human spirit with 'art generation' and similar things rather than use it for the things that we just can't really do like immensely complex simulations, data processing, etc? Now just to be clear neural networks are in fact being developed for loads of genuine scientific applications, but a lot of the mainstream tech buzz isn't about that but about gimmicky things that aren't actually helping the world at large. The question basically is why aren't we focusing on doing the things that would take us as a species far, far too many man hours to do.
Wanted to mention Kasparov used 20 watts of caloric energy to play chess and deep blue used 1400 to do the same task. This difference in energy efficiency only grows with more powerful A.I. systems that use megawatts of power to do the equivalent task a human can do with a hamburger worth of calories.
Consciousness and sentience and all that is crazy but the craziest thing about our brains is the sheer power efficiency.
How many hamburgers does it take for trigonometry? "For a hamburger today, I'll gladly do advanced calculus tomorrow." 😊
Where did you get a figure for Deep Blues power consumption? Tried to look or it and turned up nothing, the only figures I could find were the max draw of the 30xPPC604e but that's unlikely to be the bulk which I'd guess would be the custom VLSI stuff or RAM. But bringing Deep Blue into this is like arguing against public transport using gasoline or diesel engines as opposed to horse buggies on the basis of the fuel consumption of a Ford Motor co. Model T.
We humans don’t usually make our own food, it’s more fair to factor in the energy used by the tractor used to harvest the food and all of the machines in the processing plants and all of the energy used to distribute the food with ships and trucks and other people.
@@tomh9553then let’s factor in all the energy required for building a power plant when we talk about ML models energy consumption. Not to even mention that a model needs people to build the power plant

As a Data Scientist, this has frustrated me greatly in interviews.
I legitimately had an interview where they said they would now quiz me on AI. They just ran through some linear regression and linear algebra.

It's true that generative AI is basically a prediction machine, but the attention network is more than context-free correlations. For example, when you give it a prompt about a computer and add details about surrounding items, the network loops over each element in the sentence and feeds that information into each of those elements, so you end up representing what it means to have a computer surrounded by those items, in some high dimensional vector space learned by the transformer. So then there is some approximation to symbolic concepts, at least intuitively it seems like it to me, but I'm not sure.
That's not enough for reasoning. For reasoning one has to be able to modify assumptions. Transformers don't have that ability. Their assumptions are hard coded in their coefficients. I tried some basic physics concepts with Google and Bing. No matter how you ask, no matter how you prompt, these systems keep repeating the same learned texts over and over, again. But since the training material is both incomplete and unfortunately false, the results end up monotonous and... false, with no way to correct them. Current AI is a broken record, even if it's a very long one.
@@lepidoptera9337 huh I see, that’s interesting. So I guess it needs explicit axioms and to be able to modify them?
@@Anonymous9683 It's simply not an inference engine and can not be one. It also can't learn on the fly. Humans can do all of that. Maybe future AI will, too, but for now the LLM approach is severely limited. It can make you believe that you are talking to something intelligent, but you aren't. As soon as it comes to non-trivial tasks the systems become extremely weak.

One of my favorite chatGPT moments, was the very first day I was playing with it. I was asking it what sorts of tasks it could perform, and I asked if could use APIs. It said, yes and I asked which ones and weather came up. It said it could use the weather api to get current and accurate weather data. So i asked it what the current weather was. It said it cant give any information past the date it was trained. So i asked why it said it could use the API and give current information. It said it could. I told it it couldnt. It said it could, so I said prove it. It said it could NOT. After a few more minutes of talking in corcles with me trying to tell it authoritatively it could NOT use APIs (normally it accepts this stuff and remembers it for the rest of the conversation. But not with this for some reason. )So i finally gave up and asked it for past weather data from before its training date. It said it didnt know that either. I immedoately gave up and realized its only good of you dont look too closely.
Its been great for making poems and limericks on strange topics though.
Not sure what the confusion is. I take it the words quite literally. It is manufactured or prefabricated "intelligence" . It is, literally, artificial, in contrast to natural or real.

I think that highlighting the successes that Anthropic has had recently with regard to the “explainability” of these large models would have been good
AI is the perfect excuse for smartphones companies to release the same phone as last year but with a bunch of features that can easily be adapted to any phone, and callin it AI
I just want to point out the hypocrisy of these companies saying all the content for training the models should be free to use and then charging for the end result. It's a little like paying for insurance and then having to pay full price for what you were insured for anyway.
The thing about AI reminds me of what's gone on with cross stitch patterns. People are selling all this "we can make any image into a cross stitch pattern!" stuff, but it's just them scaling an image down to 100x100 pixels and then picking the closest colors that matched the embroidery floss colors available for sale. What these cross stitch patterns have always lacked is the backstitch: to decide what is worth adding an outline to, and where to use a couple out-of-outline stitches to add details otherwise too small to represent: for example, flower pistils or the texture of fur. So I still much prefer working with human-designed cross stitch, even though I am theoretically able to get a computer to make a cross stitch pattern for anything I want.
I've since learned that all AI is like this.
Computer generated patterns are horrible confetti-stitched monstrosities that only look good from 2+ metres away. They make me think of Victorian ladies with Berlin wool work "copies" of Monarch of the Glen.
That's an oddly specific and directly related to (what i assume) is a rather small target audiance. And yet this is a simply brilliant statement, and exactly explains why computers and AI are simply tools to make things easier for humans, and by failing to do this in the example above they have simply proven we are not yet there.

I watched a video on a similar topic, but it was with AI generated crochet patterns. Perhaps you already saw it, but in case you haven't and you're interested, the title is "How to spot fake (AI) crochet so you don't get scammed" by Elise Rose Crochet. It's very interesting. I need to see an AI cross stitch pattern, it's probably wild.

My head is not 'stuck in the sand'; I use it daily, so I think I'd know its limitations more than people who don't. (it can initiate new projects alright, but it has serious problems with retaining code quality for example; one thing it *is* great at though is discovery / faster onboarding into a new project)

Yes, automated machine learning (AutoML) platforms like those provided by Azure can be considered examples of Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI). AutoML tools are designed to automate many of the steps in the machine learning pipeline, such as data preprocessing, model selection, hyperparameter tuning, and model evaluation. These platforms are highly specialized for these tasks and excel within their specific domain.
Key points about AutoML as ANI:
Specialized Functionality: AutoML platforms are tailored to perform specific tasks related to building and deploying machine learning models.
Efficiency in Scope: They can efficiently handle the processes involved in machine learning, but their capabilities are limited to this domain.
Automation: AutoML tools streamline the machine learning process, making it more accessible to users without deep expertise in data science or machine learning.
Data-Driven: These platforms rely on large datasets to train models and improve performance within their specific area of focus.
While AutoML significantly enhances the efficiency and accessibility of machine learning, it remains a narrow application of AI, focused on optimizing specific workflows rather than possessing the broad, adaptable intelligence characteristic of AGI.

5:05 The cancer detection comes up every time, but it's not so simple. The problem is that neural networks are black boxes, you don't 100% know how they come up with their answers.
I read about a study where an AI was suppose to be better at recognizing cancer than human doctors, but in the end it turned out that the AI was cheating by recognizing additional data on the x-ray images in the training data the study used, older x-ray images and x-rays from certain hospitals just simply had a significant higher likelihood of having cancer which gave the AI an advantage. This advantage obviously completely disappears once it operates in the real world. So if the AI was deployed like that it could've actually been way worse at detecting cancer than a human doctor without people knowing it.

9:00 well, actually, Recall doesnt actually need any TOPS, it runs fine in a VM on an Apple M1.. that only has a neural engine and certainly none that windows supports or would be able to use in the VM. The TOPS requirement for Copilot PCs is for the other features like image generation in paint.
Of course it doesn't require any NPU in the sense that it can't be run without it. Any halfway modern CPU can technically run these models. I fully expect Copilot features to eventually be made available to desktop computers without an NPU.
The current "requirement" stems from different angles. First of all, a sufficiently powerful NPU will run these models way faster and at lower latency than a CPU. Second, it consumes a lot less energy while doing so, and since all these new Copilot+ PCs are going to be laptops, battery life is of great concern. That's also why the NPU is preferable to a GPU. GPUs would actually be as fast if not way faster, but at the cost of higher energy consumption.
Lastly, Microsoft seems hell bent these days to make Windows on ARM a thing. That's why they have an interest in marketing the Snapdragon X as *the* best solution for "AI PCs" right now, even if Intel's Lunar Lake is probably just as good at ML workloads, presumably even better at low wattages, and AMD's Strix Point completely annihilates both if you consider the CPU part and the advantages Zen 5 has in that department.
In the end, it fits the theme of this video: Marketing BS all around.

The one computer buzzword I still don’t understand is “Internet of Things”
'Everything is connected to the internet' is how I've always understood it. Still a stupid phrase though.
it means that every small machine is connected to the web, not only computers. like everything (toaster, your doorbell etc.). all things are connected and communicate, can be remote controlled yadayada. its a bit like in cyberpunk. so yeah... everything can be hacked too. its one of the reasons why ipv6 was needed, because there arent enough public ip adresses to connect everything.
The premise of the Internet of Things is the use of the internet by userless objects. So, instead of you at your computer using the internet, it's some device using the internet itself without a user being involved. Obviously devices like this have existed for yonkeroos, but when they started putting little computers in light bulbs and thermostats and shit and had them all connect wirelessly they had the brilliant idea of branding the concept as the "internet of things" to hype it up and get people to buy more things with computers in them for no good reason.
@@seigeengine You mean "the use of the internet by useless objects mainly to participate in DDoS attacks" given how often their security is absolute lackluster and the fact that they've been utilized in attacks for a while now.

I just tried the strawberry joke, chatGPT still got it wrong 🤣
It designed me over a hundred items in python code. I sell them for money.
I know the math of AI Neural Networks, and have written a single perceptron forward, back, update, repeat... with pencil and paper. And it worked... It learned. Computers do AI math really fast, and a lot. They are statistical models. They take inputs, do stuff, predict a random answer, check how far off from correct, go back and make adjustments, then predict again, but less off from the correct answer, and repeat. Once that training is complete, they are tested. If they pass the test, they are deployed in the real world, or whatever other purpose people want. That's how humans learn, with biological neural nets.

It's hard to argue that companies slaps AI label to everything as marketing but don't underestimate recent revolution with transformer models, so called "LLM" which are not just language anymore. This is something big, not just autocompletion on steroids
I studied, Expert systems in 1990, predecessor to AI and Machine learning. AL is overly hyped at present.
The cake isn't AI, therefore might be real.
But the ai telling you about it is a lie
One thing that I would correct about this video is the part where Linus says models dont talk to each other. Now with research in Advanced RAG methods, we are able to have Agents that can redirect the user's request to different agents who will then give the request to a specialized model. This means that the same infrastructure is able to support all of the models: gpt-4, gpt for vision, etc. The agents are themselves LLM that are assigned specialized tasks and communicate between each other.
Exactly.. you can assign different models to different agents and they will "talk" to each other
multi-modal approaches are great, by employing models with different specializations (maybe one for parsing text, and another for object recognition), by cleverly combining the outputs of both models, you can design a system which can describe an environment or scene from an image. Its not difficult to actually design such a system, just hard to make it perform well.
That's the closet thing we have to AGI.
@@TheMewcifer the other thing Linus said was that these systems cant really learn from themselves or have reasoning. That is possible if you set it up properly. Ideally you actually want the system to go through steps. Part of that would be reasoning and then if you want to build a system that can learn from itself you do a reflection step at the end which gets logged. If you just look at a model as weights and data then yah they are sorta dumb. But that is like saying a game is just a game engine. If you download Unreal Engine there is a lot of possibilities there but its still just a dumb piece of software until you build something with it.
It's refreshing to see someone inside the tech bubble actually be real with technology instead of another hype machine
I agree that the AI acronym is being tossed around too much also about all of the hype surrounding it, but nonetheless this tech is ground-breaking and will transform our lives, we are just at the beginning, and it's on our hands to use it well and not allow it to be misused.
