    I feel like I’ve been hearing this stupid “PhD level intelligence” claim about every LLM that’s come out since ChatGPT was first released, including GPT-3.0 which it launched with. It kind of amazes me that people keep falling for it and not questioning how the new model having “PhD level intelligence” is both a true claim and also noteworthy when the claim is made about every new model.

    To obtain a PhD, you need to contribute something original to your field of study, not just regurgitate what you’ve scraped from other studies.

        I do that and I have a BS in mathematics. and in 4th grade I literally used to write “I hate math” at the top of my math homework. as much as primary education systems want it to be, computation speed is not mathematical aptitude. you can memorize multiplication tables up to 20, that’s not gonna help you understand Cantor’s theorem

      This just shows that there is no correlation between beliefs and intelligence. The knowledge you obtain gets applied on top of your belief system, often times doesn’t change your beliefs. I have a couple of doctor friends and I wouldn’t go to 1 of them if my life depended on it. She graduated from a Caribbean med school and is your typical maga.

        many doctors are just really good at regurgitating information they gathered in their 20’s, they’re not particularly inspired in their field of study or stay up-to-date on all the latest information. they just got into the work because it appeared to be a stable well-paying job, simple as

        then are entire fields compromised by $ and short-sightedness, like podetry. modern feet have so many problems because modern shoes are just…terrible, but podiatrists make a bunch of $ peddling “arch support”, special shoes/inserts etc.

        the foot-arch comes from a muscle, muscles atrophy when you when support them…all you need to do to get arches back is wear flat-soled shoes (this hurts, if you’ve not worn them…ever, as those muscles have barely been used)

    They’re also talking about data centers in space, yet are too cheap to use anything but evaporative cooling + supplemental gas generators on Earth.


    I did some math on, amongst other things, launch costs for an Earth-data center sized installation, or the area needed to radiatively cool it, and it is fun:

    See that power of four? Areas get very large, like kilometers wide, if you want your coolant below a typical 300K (~30C), and apparently no one told Bezos that little detail.

    Those space construction startups know what they’re doing. They’re selling billionaires a bridge to nowhere; and it’s working.

      Look, I’m not saying it’s a good thing. In fact, it would be an insanely wasteful use of resources, labor, energy, etc.

      That said, folks are all about “eat the rich” and this may very well be the closest thing to that.

      Guess I should have gone CHA instead of INT.
      I might have gotten some of that billionaire money to buy more RAM.

    When they achieve any intelligence it will be a milestone. Right now they just have scripts that regurgitates word salads.
