“solve all of physics” what the fuck does that even meam
It will automatically spit out the designs for a warp drive.
real “my dad works at GameCube” energy
Going to laugh when the LLM comes back with 42
This is just the infinite corridor of monkeys and typewriters bit but played straight, lol
the day is approaching when we can ask an ai model to solve all of physics and it can actually create raving nonsensical rants claiming to be a grand unified theory of everything while denouncing the academic establishment for ignoring its genius, thereby automating the thankless task of giving physics grad students someone to punch down on
So timecubeism
For centuries, humanity has worked towards building an AI that will understand all of physics. Now, upon completion, we have learned that the key lies in the idea of “four simultaneous 24-hour days”.
This is my new screenplay idea.
a classic, and it’s certainly in the training data
Generative crankery
it’s clearly the future
buy buy buy buy our bespoke political t-shirts and plaster your exact species of brainworms on your torso for all the world to see!
That does sound impressive, but I’ll be really impressed when the AI model actually can tell me what the hell “solve all of physics” means
Also,
No matter how “good” these models get, Douglas Adams has been too popular on the internet for this to ever succeed. All AIs based on data scraping will be forced to respond ‘42’ to all inquiries of that sort.
How many roads must a man walk down?
42 roads
Me when I train a LLM with things that humans have made and done, doing nothing but remixing the training data: “create something novel?” “No.”
People legit think that this is the entirety of human creation: only remixing the past
A lotta yall still don’t get it
AI holders can solve physics with a single AI
How many slurp juices?
New bit idea: whenever someone reaches a net worth in the 9 figures or above, they get a state-appointed scientist to follow them to meetings and interviews and loudly shout them down whenever they make an indefensible prediction (this is a lot nicer than my preferred bit idea)
The preferred bit idea is also giving that scientist a gun and one free presidential pardon at any time of their choosing, then letting nature take its course.
At what point does this count as defrauding investors and gets Altman the one form of justice that rich people ever suffer under capitalism? This is so thoroughly bullshit that even investment bankers should be starting to see it.
No punishment if they can pump it up enough to get pension funds to invest deep
I can’t wait to be able to walk on walls and jump so freaking high when all the physics are solved, thanks AI!
my friend is doing gig work to make chatgpt better at just boring old textbook physics problems, and it’s complete dogshit at it. so uh, sure man. nice
you got there.
Didn’t they manage to make it somewhat good at solving certain math competition problems? Regardless it’s a pretty big jump from that to making a breakthrough in physics.
I think they had to connect it to Wolfram Alpha
Yeah deepmind had good results with IMO problems, but only geometry problems. They scored almost at the level of gold medalist. That’s only a fraction of IMO problems, though. They did it by combining a formal verification system with a LLM to propose solution paths, and then doing some tree search I think.
This is one way to improve large AI systems and will probably be incorporated in some way in the future, for example by integrating with a language like lean (for math proofs).
They will also be improved by combining with tool use like calculators, code interpreters, web search, calendars, etc. This is already starting to happen to some extent.
LLMs by themselves, at least with current architectures using transformers, are not great at reasoning (counting, arithmetic, symbolic reasoning)
maybe certain ones, but it’s generally bad about numbers and mathematical reasoning. he also gets paid to make it fail at math, and it’s arguably worse at basic math than physics.
Very excited to someday have a computer that can do math problems
Why do we need AI when Terrance Howard already solved this by properly unfolding the flower of life

I get them mixed up!
