What's generated by Alpha Zero by self playing is synthetic data.
So AI is a complicated and unsatisfying form of masturbation? Might account for the sort of garbage that chatbots deliver.
AI faces no sexual pressure just for survival.
Nevertheless, that strategy has successfully been proven to beat the best human players of chess and go.
Humans delivering garbage in online chats is not an especially rare occurrence.

I feel sorry for those who never experienced good AI models. Their outdated knowledge might cost them dearly in the future. Here are some update, which might soon be outdated too, due to the incredibly quick paced progress in AI research.

GEMINI 1.0 Beats GPT-4 | The NEW MultiModal Model From GOOGLE
Google Gemini is finally here and it's the first model to beat GPT-4.

Gemini Full Breakdown + AlphaCode 2 Bombshell
Quote
Gemini is here! All 60 pages of the technical report read, plus the AlphaCode 2 bombshell paper explained and analysed. Is that paper even more consequential than Gemini? Plus the launch of AI Insiders, Gemini demos, Hassabis hints and much, much more!

Integrity & Trust go hand in hand Together.

Fake one or Break one, and you End up losing the Other.

Fake Ads with False Claims are Great at creating a Hype.

No use slicing Mangoes that aren't as yet Ripe.

ps - i do share your Excitement n Optimism regarding A.I.

The Transformative Potential of AGI ? and When It Might Arrive | Shane Legg and Chris Anderson | TED
Quote
As the cofounder of Google DeepMind, Shane Legg is driving one of the greatest transformations in history: the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI). He envisions a system with human-like intelligence that would be exponentially smarter than today's AI, with limitless possibilities and applications. In conversation with head of TED Chris Anderson, Legg explores the evolution of AGI, what the world might look like when it arrives ? and how to ensure it's built safely and ethically.

To make sure that something is safe, we need to understand how it works. We can't manage risks which we can't identify.

I understand your concern. Those big tech companies are under pressure on being the foremost in a competition for building the best AGI in the world. Their financial performance might depend on it.
I also realized that when a benchmark has become the goal in itself, it usually stops being a good benchmark.

Predicting the future with the power of the Internet.

Quote
Manifold Markets is a prediction market: you can bet internet points (NOT REAL MONEY) on the probability of future events. The bets of the users, in aggregation, produce calibrated probabilities. Ditch the news. We have real-life crystal balls now.

If we can make accurate prediction, we can act to make future conditions more preferred and prevent unwanted results more effectively.

No, they produce a consensus. The winnings may indicate the average skill of the punters, but unless the net gains exceed the net losses after taking inflation into account, they give no confidence in their predictive power.

If you asked everyone in the world to bet on it, they would tell you that the world will be flat tomorrow - that's the predictive power of consensus.

The empirical results so far indicated that you are wrong.

NVIDIA?s New AI: Virtual Worlds From Nothing! + Gemini Update

NVIDIA?s New AI Is 20x Faster?But How?

Some interesting comments.
Quote
Really starting to seem like all computing problems, no matter how complex, can be solved by brute forcing obscene amounts of data into a neural net and then working backwards by using that solution to generate training data for a more efficient solution.

This is known as "the bitter lesson": cleverer hand-crafted techniques just seem to do worse.

I think similar things have been happening in progress through scientific method. From random observations we make hypotheses through inductive reasoning, pattern recognition, or analog thinking. Verification processes remove false hypotheses, leaving scientific theories. They can be used as the first principles to predict engineering outcomes through deductive reasoning. By comparing outcomes from several alternative efforts, the desired results can be achieved more effectively and efficiently. In this case, the neural net was the brains of scientists and engineers.

It reminds me to how alpha zero can defeat alpha go by ignoring strategies of human players.

I first heard about Cellular Automata from a Stephen Wolfram's speech which showed how complex structures can emerge from simple rules. I found this video when exploring Youtube to have some deeper insight about emergence for my next video on natural consciousness.

Lenia - Artificial Life from Algorithms
Quote
I quite like to mess about with systems called "Cellular Automata", so I wanted to share a Rust library I have been working on to simulate the Lenia system. And on the way, I also describe the steps it took to get to Lenia, as well as how the Conway's Game of Life, SmoothLife and Lenia cellular automata work in a quick way.

I, unfortunately have misled you in the video just a tiny bit... Namely, Already the SmoothLife system of cellular automata technically introduced the "integration step"... indeed, it would be impossible to simulate some of the shown SmoothLife systems without the integration step part. Some would perhaps even say that SmoothLife is more powerful and more general and a more faithful generalization of Conway's Game of Life than Lenia. And, well, if we allow for all of the experimentation and little upgrades that people have made over time to SmoothLife, then it ends up not being dissimilar from Lenia in general indeed.

This will most likely not be the last video about Lenia you will see from this channel, for I have some upgrades in mind for the Lenia system myself... ones that should allow Lenia to truly be the most general type of Life-Like system of cellular automata. As well as something that should make it more... "physics-like", shall we say. But when will I get to all that, only time will tell.

Here's a simpler version.

Here's a clear break down on self play in multi agent AI.

Lawyer Was Caught Using A.I. To Create Phony Cases & Disabled Man Left In Van To Die Of Heatstroke

Quote
A lawyer in New York is facing sanctions ? and possibly worse ? after he used the AI service Chat GPT to create a legal brief. The artificial intelligence bot created a list of fake court cases that the lawyer used in his brief, but he got busted when the opposing side couldn?t find any of the made up cases. Then, the death of a disabled, elderly man last summer has raised serious questions about the care given to disabled individuals all over the country. And a trial that is expected as a result of this death could have nation-wide implications. Mike Papantonio is joined by attorney Troy Rafferty to talk about this case and the impacts that it could have.

We need a way to distinguish between real world events and hallucinations, either by humans or AI.
