https://phys.org/news/2022-10-ai-accurately-human-response-drug.html

The journey between identifying a potential therapeutic compound and Food and Drug Administration approval of a new drug can take well over a decade and cost upward of a billion dollars. A research team at the CUNY Graduate Center has created an artificial intelligence model that could significantly improve the accuracy and reduce the time and cost of the drug development process.
Described in a newly published paper in Nature Machine Intelligence, the new model, called CODE-AE, can screen novel drug compounds to accurately predict efficacy in humans. In tests, it was also able to theoretically identify personalized drugs for over 9,000 patients that could better treat their conditions. Researchers expect the technique to significantly accelerate drug discovery and precision medicine.

Accurate and robust prediction of patient-specific responses to a new chemical compound is critical to discover safe and effective therapeutics and select an existing drug for a specific patient. However, it is unethical and infeasible to do early efficacy testing of a drug in humans directly. Cell or tissue models are often used as a surrogate of the human body to evaluate the therapeutic effect of a drug molecule. Unfortunately, the drug effect in a disease model often does not correlate with the drug efficacy and toxicity in human patients. This knowledge gap is a major factor in the high costs and low productivity rates of drug discovery.
This is basically creating a virtual universe to help make predictions for a specific purpose. The next step would be generalizing this for other purposes as well.

Surveillance cameras per 1,000 inhabitants:

🇨🇳Beijing: 372.80
🇮🇳Indore: 62.52
🇮🇳Hyderabad: 41.80
🇮🇳Delhi: 26.70
🇮🇳Chennai: 24.53
🇬🇧London: 13.35
🇹🇭Bangkok: 7.15
🇹🇷Istanbul: 6.97
🇺🇸New York City: 6.87
🇩🇪Berlin: 6.24
🇫🇷Paris: 4.04
🇨🇦Toronto: 3.05
🇯🇵Tokyo: 1.06

Those cameras produce huge amount of data, which are supposed to be useful in representing important aspects of real world, which are in turn useful in public decision-making processes. Those data must be first processed, extracted, filtered, formatted, and interpreted to make them useful. It's impossible to do those things manually, which leaves us no choice other than to make them automated using AI.

Thinking Clearly & the Origins of Analytic Philosophy
Statements can be true, false, or nonsensical. Analytic philosophy was developed to figure out how to tell the difference, and the current tradition of analytic philosophy strives to make thinking as clear & precise as possible so it's not hard to do so.
Natural language can be thought as a format to represent someone's minds, which contain representations of physical reality besides of other possible alternative scenarios. Logical symbols overcome some limitations in natural language, especially ambiguity. But they still have weaknesses. They are hard to understand, especially for expressing complex ideas. Relationships among different objects may not be readily obvious. This can be addressed by graph representations.

Building A Virtual Machine inside ChatGPT

https://www.engraved.blog/building-a-virtual-machine-inside/

Quote

Unless you have been living under a rock, you have heard of this new ChatGPT assistant made by OpenAI. You might be aware of its capabilities for solving IQ tests, tackling leetcode problems or to helping people write LateX. It is an amazing resource for people to retrieve all kinds of information and solve tedious tasks, like copy-writing!

Today, Frederic Besse told me that he managed to do something different. Did you know, that you can run a whole virtual machine inside of ChatGPT?

Why is OpenAI's ChatGPT terrifying? A Senior Software Engineer explains a disturbing new hypothesis
Quote
I made a quick video on why knowledge workers need to be afraid and preparing for a post-GPT world. AI is advancing much faster than I had previously anticipated, at the current rate of advancement software engineers, lawyers, and doctors will be made obsolete within at most 5 years. You cannot possibly depend on your "knowledge worker" 6-figure salary if you want to live comfortably past 2027. My advice is you need to find a way to monetize either your body or your relatability. Leave a comment and let me know how you are preparing for post GPT world.
A warning for us all.

Here's a response video to the comments on previous video.
Software Engineers replaced by GPT? Senior Software Engineer Responds.

IMO, GPT's capability is limited by inherent limitations of human's natural language. There are risk of ambiguity, also uncaptured nuance and context.
Those limitations can be overcome by implementing a native language for communication among AI systems, which is in the format of vector or tensor in graph database. It will be part of the virtual universe and universal conscious system.

Photos Used to Generate AI Images for Client So Photographer Never Shoots Again
Quote
The mindblowing technology process has been developed by Karppinen who explains that it’s part of a visual strategy for his client Savon Ammattiopisto.

“I have been learning about the possibilities of AI in image production for over a year, and now my process is in such good shape that I can carry out such a demanding project with this new technology at a sufficient quality and level,” he says.
The process begins like a normal photo job, Karppinen goes on location with his camera and shoots photos of the models. But then the photos take on a new, groundbreaking life.

“This project started with taking pictures of models for educational material. This educational material is fed to the AI and a model is created of the person being photographed, which can then be used as part of the image production,” he explains.

“In short, now you can put a photographed person in any location and clothing you want with AI assistance. We are creating a brand new AI model bank in a way.”


This is a reminder for the importance of building a virtual universe, and understanding the universal terminal goal.

So what? Portrait artists have been doing that for thousands of years, and advertising graphic artists for hundreds.

Now if you could put a real politician in real prison uniform, that would be useful.

It requires us to determine who can access the off switch, and in what situation the off switch is accessible. The determination depends on the terminal goal of the system.

A photograph is no longer adequate as an evidence. AI can generate thousands of convincing photographs indistinguishable from reality. They can't be used as the basis to make important decisions, especially when false decisions can be highly desirable for some conscious agents.
This problem can be overcome by a highly interconnected database system and real time sensing devices like cameras, which can help to identify tampering.

Quote
Google's management has issued a "code red" amid the launch of ChatGPT — a buzzy conversational-artificial-intelligence chatbot created by OpenAI — as it's sparked concerns over the future of Google's search engine, The New York Times reported Wednesday.

Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google and its parent company, Alphabet, has participated in several meetings around Google's AI strategy and directed numerous groups in the company to refocus their efforts on addressing the threat that ChatGPT poses to its search-engine business, according to an internal memo and audio recording reviewed by The Times.

In particular, teams in Google's research, trust, and safety division, among other departments, have been directed to switch gears to assist in the development and launch of AI prototypes and products, The Times reported. Some employees have been tasked with building AI products that generate art and graphics, similar to OpenAI's DALL-E, which is used by millions of people, according to The Times.

A Google spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
In the past, the urge to generate revenue from advertisement has deviated the decisions of social media from trying to achieve what's best for the whole society to achieve their terminal goal.

Quote
This has been a wild year for AI. If you’ve spent much time online, you’ve probably bumped into images generated by AI systems like DALL-E 2 or Stable Diffusion, or jokes, essays, or other text written by ChatGPT, the latest incarnation of OpenAI’s large language model GPT-3.

Sometimes it’s obvious when a picture or a piece of text has been created by an AI. But increasingly, the output these models generate can easily fool us into thinking it was made by a human. And large language models in particular are confident bullshitters: they create text that sounds correct but in fact may be full of falsehoods.


While that doesn’t matter if it’s just a bit of fun, it can have serious consequences if AI models are used to offer unfiltered health advice or provide other forms of important information. AI systems could also make it stupidly easy to produce reams of misinformation, abuse, and spam, distorting the information we consume and even our sense of reality. It could be particularly worrying around elections, for example.

The proliferation of these easily accessible large language models raises an important question: How will we know whether what we read online is written by a human or a machine? I’ve just published a story looking into the tools we currently have to spot AI-generated text. Spoiler alert: Today’s detection tool kit is woefully inadequate against ChatGPT.

But there is a more serious long-term implication. We may be witnessing, in real time, the birth of a snowball of bullshit.

It should have been obvious at this point, that finding the universal terminal goal and building a highly interconnected virtual universe are getting more important and urgent.

Interestingly the Victorians did it with glass plate negatives combining separate photos into a composite scene by multiple exposures and masking.

It doesn't matter whether what we read online is written by a human or a machine. What's important is whether they are true, i. e. representing objective reality.
