I thought it would not happen during my lifetime and I would never see the next chapter in human history. Now it is imminent and every day I am excited to see the news. We are blessed or cursed to be alive at this momentous time. Either way, it is going to be a wild ride.

The other day I sat together with a not so tech-savvy friend and we used GPT-4 to come up with a funny name for her Instagram account. It had to incorporate her name, her niche and it had to be funny. We completely laughed our asses off at some of the names it produced, it was so funny and yet also clever. Once we calmed down and picked a name she said "damn, this thing is creative as fuck? what the hell?" and I think I saw some mild concern on her face when this thought hit her.

I learned about the singularity in 2013, a freshman in college. I remember thinking to myself about how my life would be in the 2030s. Now that we’re approaching it, it really does feel like a movie and someone handed me a preview of the script. I say this because I’ve know about the exponential trends of AI and no one around me seems to be aware of the massive amounts of change we’re about to experience whether good or bad.

The only thing i know about it is that question: "if it is made, is it enough to simulate a quantum environement and bypass the need for IRL testing ?". At the moment, i'd say no. But i do not have the knowledge or expertise to guess if that could change.

However, what i can give a certain probability of being true is that simulation at regular relativistic physic scale could probably be completely simulated at some point. It's kind of already doing it anyway in very specific field with alphafold and other AI of the sort. Stack enough of specialised simulated model and you have a simulation of everything.

So uh, yes, quantum SGI maybe ?

Maybe it's just an improved search chat bot, pre-loaded with grammar and information relationship patterns.

Chat bots do have a history of fooling people into thinking they are more than they are e.g. A student at my Uni in the 90s was detected by the IT staff when they were logged in to the system for days and active nearly 24/7. Turns out the student was chatting up an early chat bot.

Could this just be chat bot love and we have not hit the low that happens when we figure out it's flaws.

On the other hand, if these AI tools let us build better AI tools faster and improve the hardware they run on then we might be on that S-curve.

An excerpt from the Paper:
 
"6 Broader Impacts:
Although the results presented in this paper are only on a research benchmark, if we extrapolate forward the capabilities of these models and methods, we anticipate vast broader impacts that have the potential to revolutionize numerous industries. By allowing LLMs to execute tasks on computers, our approach can enhance the capabilities of AI assistants and automation tools. This could lead to increased efficiency, reduced labor costs, and improved user experiences across any sector which uses computers to do work. We are most excited about gains in productivity in science and education, including AI research, which will lead to even faster development of new beneficial technologies and treatments."
