AI Insights

I’m pretty sure that’s not exactly on the market yet.

Can’t really disagree.

I disagree. There are no AIs in existence that are more powerful than those currently broadly available.

GreenKitten123 was asking about the best kind of AI. We haven’t had useful AI’s for long. Research in them started a few decades ago, I think. At least the race for AI did. While humans have made considerable progress in using some approaches to train AI’s and structure the way the respond to their training, we haven’t been able to do all that much yet. Also, since making an all-purpose tool will be hard, it’s quite likely companies, governments and other organisations have specialised versions that are perform better at their job. I will acknowledge that you have a point, though.

It used to be free on youtube, then it got popular I guess

Then again there is a conspiracy theory which suggests it is being supressed form human viewing.

It does seem very hard to find the whole film anywhere ?!

When was it created?

However following watching this short video, I am going to find out how hard

1970

Seems to be ok here, but not in other places for sure

Oh that is interesting ...it wont let me post a link, a video or anything ??

But I am watching it on the Internet Archive site ?!

You can certainly post a link if you do it right. Just copy it from the address bar and paste it into a post if you can't post it as a clickable link.

EDIT: I see the problem now. You can't use the "Share" code from there in a forum here. But here is a link.

Colossus: the Forbin Project

I will watch it, but not now!

Here is the real Colossus - the server centre hosting Grok, with its (presently) 200,000 state of the art GPUs. The price to buy the H100s that are used varies depending on demand, but it has been $40,000 each, which would make it $8 billion for the GPUs alone (Other costs involved are smaller).

It is fair to say Musk has achieved something remarkable with this project, and he is planning to soup it up further using the next generation of GPUs (for Grok 4, presumably).

Musk is clearly serious about this. I’ll be following this. Whatever comes out of those 200,000 GPU’s will certainly excite people. There’s a big gap to be bridged, though. I think the latest version of ChatGPT scored 26% of Humanity’s Last Exam, and the others scored much less. OpenAI is doing well.

Unfortunately, there is inconsistent ranking between the different benchmarks, making it impossible to say one model is "best". I thought the version of ChatGPT you get for free was now ChatGPT-o4 mini to reduce computational cost, which scored 18% on HLE, but I have just asked it, and it says I have ChatGPT-4 turbo, the same as the premium version. I can't find any score for this precise variant, which is very odd since it has been out for many months and is the default ChatGPT (at least for me, as of now, to be pedantic).

Grok 3 got 19% but is computationally much more demanding (I don't mind as long as Musk pays the electricity bill).

He will want repaying, one way or another
