  • Happy Birthday 75 Years of Artificial Intelligence

    From Mild Shock@21:1/5 to Mild Shock on Mon Oct 21 14:33:58 2024
    Hi,

    Happy Birthday 75 Years of Artificial Intelligence. Mostlikely AI
    was born around 1950. Here what happened in this decade:

    1) "Perceptron":
    Rosenblatt's perceptrons were initially simulated on an
    IBM 704 computer at Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory in 1957.
    Mark I Perceptron machine, the first implementation of
    the perceptron algorithm. It was connected to a camera
    with 20×20 cadmium sulfide photocells to
    make a 400-pixel image.
    https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perzeptron

    2) "Voder"
    The Bell Telephone Laboratory's Voder (abbreviation of
    Voice Operating Demonstrator) was the first attempt to
    electronically synthesize human speech by breaking it down
    into its acoustic components. The Voder was developed from
    research into compression schemes for transmission of voice
    on copper wires and for voice encryption. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsdOej_nC1M

    3) "Mini-Chess"
    Los Alamos chess was the first chess-like game played by a
    computer program. This program was written at Los Alamos
    Scientific Laboratory by Paul Stein and Mark Wells for the
    MANIAC I computer in 1956. The computer was primarily
    constructed to perform calculations in support of hydrogen bomb
    research at the Laboratory, but it could also play chess! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAVT4rZbcGE

    Now that we enter the age of AI. What
    about an AI Computer model. An AI Earth
    Computer model? Any pointers?

    Hey folks, please take note:

    "Rust is the last programming language made for humans
    that we'll need. Future languages will be optimized for
    machines, where AI handles all the coding" https://twitter.com/nath_simard/status/1816147809608851830

    Sounds like utter bullshit to me. Must be a
    stupid AI, that cannot do the safety precautions
    of Rust. Why would I need rust, if I have an AI?

    For this exampe, the AI might generate:

    #include <stdio.h>

    int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    printf("Hello %s\n", argv[0]);
    }

    Which might indeed generate a segfault. In
    case there are zero arguments, argv[0] might
    hafe the value NULL. https://www.tu-chemnitz.de/urz/archiv/kursunterlagen/C/kap3/argmain.htm

    So why blame the target language, and not the AI?
    This is a red herring argument in favor of Rust.

    Hi,

    Woa! ChatGPT for the Flint Stones: Bloomberg

    Our long-term investment in AI is already
    available for fixed income securities.
    Try it for yourself!

    Did she just say Terminal? LoL

    Bye

    P.S.: But the display of the extracted logical
    query from the natural language phrase is quite
    cute. Can ChatGPT do the same?
