I am treating you like a child because you refuse to use your brain.

No you're doing so because you started doom scrolling before you had coffee and now you're trying to justify your uncalled for rudeness.

You gave me one obscure

It literally won the nobel prize.

very early stage example

It is not early stage, predicting the structures of those proteins has already actively changed the course of biomedical science. This isn't early stage research that need fleshing out, this is peer reviewed published research that has caused entire labs and teams to completely change what they're doing and how.

that isn't even connected to the overall rise in value of LLMs and other forms of AI

It is in that it uses the same underlying type of algorithms and is literally from the same team that developed the "T" in ChatGPT.

So you are claiming the next real AI revolution is justtttt around the corner with a totally new technology you swear?

I have not claimed that, I said that AI algorithms are likely to be part of our climate solutions and our ability to serve more people with less manual labour. They help to solve entirely new classes of problems and can do so far more efficiently than years of human labour.

Rage out about tech bubbles and hype bros if you want. Last time it was crypto, streaming before that, apps and mobile before that, social before that, the internet before that, etc etc. Hype bubbles come and go, sometimes the underlying technology is actually useful though.

You seem to be projecting about warped perspective.

Sure LLMs and other forms of automation, artificial intelligence and brute forcing of scientific problems will continute to grow.

That's not brute forcing of a scientific problem, it's literally a new type of algorithm that lets computers solve fuzzy pattern matching problems that they never could before.

What you are talking about though is extrapolating from that to a massive shift that just isn't on the horizon.

I'm just very aware of the number of problems in society that fall into the category of fuzzy pattern matching / optimization. Quantum computing is also an exciting avenue for solving some of these problems though is incredibly difficult and complicated.

You are delusional, you have read too many scifi books about AI and can't get your brain off of that way of thinking being the future no matter how dystopian it is.

This is just childish name calling.

The value to AI just simply isn't there, and that is before you even include the context of the ecological holocaust it is causing and enabling by getting countries all over the world to abandon critical carbon footprint reduction goals.

Quite frankly, you're conflating the tech bro hype around LLMs with AI more generally. The ecological footprint of Alpha Fold is tiny compared to previous methods of protein analysis that took labs of people years to discover each individual one. On top of the ecological footprint of all of those people and all of their resources for those years, they also have to use high powered equipment like centrifuges and x-ray machines. Alpha fold did that hundreds of thousands of times with some servers in a year.

Don't come at me like you are being logical here, at least admit that this is the cool scifi tech dystopia you wanted and have been obsessed with. This is the only way you get to this point of delusion since the rest of us see these technologies and go "huh, that looks like it has some use" whereas people like you have what is essentially a religious view towards AI and it is pathetic and offensive towards religions that actually have substance to their philosophy and beliefs.

Again, more childish name calling. You don't know me, don't act like you do.

I don't have to dream, DeepMind literally won the Nobel prize last year. My best friend did his PhD in protein crystallography and it took him 6 years to predict the structure of a single protein underlying legionnaires disease. He's now at MIT and just watched DeepMind predict hundreds of thousands of them in a year.

If you vet your news sources by only listening to ones that are anti-AI then you're going to miss the actual exciting advancements lurking beneath the oceans of tech bro hype.

Your issue is clearly with capitalism, and yet you're brain deadly bitching about AI instead.

Leftist movements are literally known for infighting and falling apart, it's the subject of countless memes.

The whole world is not America.

Your assertion that more is conservative is a meaningless assertion in the context of this discussion.

More can be conservative on average but you don't see an average view of the internet, you see your filter bubble, and that source backs up the original assertion that yes, Russia is targeting leftists too.

Absolutely and utterly false. They try and promote fighting, anger, and distrust of government to everyone.

They target leftists with things that will upset them, make them angry at the right and the government and other leftists and sow further discord and polarization.
