AI – 2024AD: 212-page Report (from this morning) Fully Read w/ Highlights

Just 14 highlights from the 212-page report (in its 7th edition) on the State of AI in 2024. I add my own analysis, bringing in the latest reports of OpenAI behind-the-scenes finances, Chai-1, a new AI Consciousness job listing, the Nobel prize winners speaking out, my own predictions, and much more. Lead author of report: Nathan Benaich.

    Excellent insights, as usual 🙂

    Streets ahead indeed 👌

  • @BooleanDisorder says:

    I guess the reason behind Hopefield and Hinton winning physics is simply because cutting edge physics is at a stand-still atm. There is nothing Nobel-worthy the past couple of decades in pure physics that hasn’t already won. I think it was a good pick. AI is used heavily for analysis in practical physics.

    • @squamish4244 says:

      AI will enable physics to continue to advance.

    • @sagetmaster4 says:

      ​@@squamish4244 but Nobel prizes aren’t awarded for future physics progress

    • @glenyoung1809 says:

      Frontier Physics research lost touch with reality about 30 years ago.
      Einstein won the 1921 Nobel Prize, not for his theory of General Relativity but for his explanation of the Photoelectric effect where he tied theoretical early quantum mechanics to practical experimental observations.
      Today cutting edge physics has become a branch of pure mathematics, looking at String Theory, M-theory and a whole host of other TOEs like loop quantum gravity none of them have practical experimentally testable proposals and won’t for centuries if ever.

      The problem with ‘AI outsiders’ winning the Physics Nobel is that it’s not for actual Physics research as linked to direct experimental observations, it’s for basically the development of algorithms to process and interpret data.
      I know some physicists who are completely gobsmacked at this choice of winner, not because these awardees were not physicists but because the award is for something completely unrelated to basic physics as an experimental science.

    Thanks for being the best source of easy AI news

  • @dreamshakenbake7432 says:

    Ever since AlphaGo and other projects completely defied expert predictions by multiple decades, I’ve realized even the experts have no clue what the future holds with this technology. Truly, we are at the base of a massive exponential trend that will likely peak mid to late century, but at this point it would not surprise be if that peak arrived much earlier than anticipated.

    • @Funymoney010 says:

      Yeah the problem is, if you’re an expert you know based on current rates adjusting for specific KPIs, you have a good estimate. This doesn’t factor for groundbreaking leaps in technology though, this is why AGI has gone from even in 2019 55% of experts thought AGI will occur either after 2060, or will never occur.

  • @huggeebear says:

    It’s very clear to me that Ilya was the heart and soul of OpenAI while Sam was PT Barnum..

  • @Rick-rl9qq says:

    about the break-out part on the 10th prediction. A quick google search gave me this definition: “General Usage: In everyday language, a break-out can describe a sudden and notable event or achievement, such as a breakout performance in a movie or a breakout hit song.”

  • @jorgwei8590 says:

    “… absent an invasion of Taiwan by China.” … that this is not hyperbole, but a necessary qualification for your prediction says a lot about the state of the world.

  • @aiforculture says:

    Thanks so much for your work here. The jailbreaking aspect is one I hadn’t been keeping myself refreshed on in particular.

  • @TheAIPivot says:

    omg I love all the Pikaffects throughout 🤣🤣

  • @austinpatteson6581 says:

    The guy is talking about AI being smarter than us in 5-20 years? Mate it’s been smarter than me for two years now lol

    • @ADreamingTraveler says:

      I still don’t get why he’s being so conservative on when that will happen. He does come out and say 5 to 20 years but 5 is less likely. I’d say 5 is a good guess but it looks bad to be wrong so maybe he doesn’t want to commit.

    • @lucasbrant9856 says:

      Because he’s not overhyping it I guess? Sure it can do any exact science better than you, but it gets hard time understanding what happens when you turn a cup with a ball upside down (yes I now, o1 can sometimes guess this correctly now, you get the point).

      When they say smarter they mean absolutely smarter in any way possible.

    • @jonwelsh4354 says:

      Bro, it doesn’t know how many R’s are in the word strawberry. How stupid are you?

    • @drakey6617 says:

      At the moment AI is like a calculator. It can do many tasks way way better than humans. For example solving PhD level physics tasks. If AI were smarter than humans though, why would OpenAI and Google not replace their workforce with AI?

  • @bujin5455 says:

    20:30. “Break-out” status, would mean it goes main stream, much like when Chat-GPT broke out of the academic circles and into mainstream consciousness.

  • @zacbergart6840 says:

    YouTube played an ad just this channels said that it was about to play a video showing the AI generating audio at the same time as video… it actually took me a second to realize what had happened (but not before I thought: “damn… this is really good!”)
