      AI today is growing exponentially, just curios, do you think we will ever hit a peak where innovation on AI will start to flat out, or hit a wall, and if so where and when do you think AI will hit its peak.

    30 years ago, I used to work with an older guy who retired from IBM.

He didn't live to see his dream become reality unfortunately, but he was totally right.

      Bayesian models have followed a similar path; the basic idea is so fundamental as to be trivial, but actually using it in practice requires a high level (uh, I don't know what the big-O complexity is -- quadratic? worse?) of detail and thus computation to truly harness. The parameters might be trivial (individually, or conceptually), but there are so many of them for a problem of modest scale that it's only recently we've made much use of it.

Predicting tomorrow's weather a week from now is a good example of not being able to tolerate the latency. If it fits in memory and I can tolerate the latency, am I willing to pay for the computer time?

    I was working with deep neural networks at the university during the late 90s, the main issue that stopped all progress was the use of a kind of functions between layers (the sigmoid as activation function), this effectively stopped the learning backpropagating from the output layers and limiting how many layers you can use (the problem is called the vanishing gradient). Once people rediscovered ReLU (it was invented in the early 70s, I believe, but I think the inventor published it in Japanese, so it went unnoticed) deep neural networks became possible. High computation needs were only a problem if you wanted real time or low latency, those days we used to leaving the computer calculating during nighttime to get something next day.

One way of seeing it is for every layer in the nn (though not all nn can be divided in layers, but lets simplify) the error at its output is transformed to an error at its input, having into account the contribution of each neuron to the result.

    It is pretty amazing that these systems consume their own output to set the next step in their "reasoning".
    This implies that much of the true decision of the final output is actually already made in the first pass-through.
    And that the extra passes are just needed for us to extract the output in a way we can process.
    It also implies there is a "hidden" boundary of how far the first pass through can "reason", any cycles beyond that are "improvisations" of the path the output was already set on.

    • @clinttube
      @clinttube 2 місяці тому +1

      Very astute observation. And it gets to my biggest concern with any kind of recent AI model I encounter whether at work or in the wild: "what was this trained on"? Much like if you get a group of highly trained but inexperienced students together, the range/frequency of potential answers to a question near their field of expertise is likely to be a lot lower/tightly clustered than if you do the same with a less trained group. That initial lens through which the question gets passed (the training) can severely limit novel outputs.
      There are deeper connections between concepts it theoretically can make that humans may not, which is super cool, but fundamentally it's synthesizing. Various permutations and combinations of + - , * / , powers/square root, derivatives, and vectors.
      Another question I always have that is much harder to answer simply (if at all): "out of the various potential modes/models tested, what was it about this one being used that made it get selected for production". Haven't gotten a good answer yet; I'm sure if I dove deep I'd find some, but at least at work our AI folks aren't capable of explaining it.

    Fantastic visualizations. It is very appropriate to try to think through this transformation process as you illustrate to first see how the algorithm first reorganizes info as we perceive it into info optimized for the algorithm to recursively refine. Once you see this first iteration, then "lose sight" of the next abstraction, it becomes apparent how impossible it will be for any human to identify and correct a "flaw" in an AI model. The only approach for "correcting" a flaw in "learned data" is to somehow feed the AI more data. That assumes an imperfect system WON'T become MORE imperfect by consuming more input. This defies logic.

If the solution to (data)===> (partially incorrect output) is to feed more data in, there's no reason to expect round #2 to ELIMINATE the type of probabistic mistake encontered in round #1.

    Fun fact: Neural Networks are based on Neurons in the brain (hence the name), which we also do not know a lot about. Theory suggests that the neurons in our brain work very similar compared to a neural network in combining millions upon millions of simple transformations into something meaningful. This is also why research in fields like Cognitive Psychology go hand in hand with AI research. Very interesting to see where both fields are headed, because the key to understanding human intelligence is in understanding the unthinkable depths of neurons.

I also worked at a small company for the president who was at Cornell name Frank Rosenblatt. It became my job to integrate NN into our product. I developed a cool way to deal with regularization and realized how critical regularization was as we had very little data. Did not have a billion images of cats. I wrote early FORTRAN code for back propagation that ran in a Sky Warrior array processor. No one knew what would become of the field and the history of Rosenblatt v Minsky.

    In terms of raw intelligence, orcas, dolphins, apes, and crows are not that far behind humans. Human language allows us to communicate much better and organize our experience of the world and build upon our organizations of knowledge. Remember our species has been around for 300,000 years.

Red dwarfs are small and prone to flares and planets around them are tidally locked (not rotating). Multi star systems will mess with planet orbits and gravity and climates, these systems have a low potential for life.
      Another thing is that most systems have hot Jupiter’s, where a large gas giant orbits close to the sun with rocky planets on the outside. But our Jupiter sits on the outside, it does a good job of shielding us and does not obstruct us from the habitable zone of our system. This is a rare configuration though.
