6.5 billion for something yet to exist is very odd. It’s a reason not to buy whatever they come out with. Just to spite their BS.

[Mike K.]

Indeed.

Rabbit R1 was mega hyped. Designed by Teenage Engineering. (Music gear peeps will know). It’s a nothing burger. Easily could have been bought for billions before release. It was supposed to actually do stuff for you.

Or the Human AI pin. Also hyped Apple style by an ex Apple exec. Also a dud. https://www.theverge...e-ai-pin-review

These guys aren’t Jonny Ive, but you ain’t selling sugar water here where all that matters is hype. There is also the unknown factor of how it will be received. Look at the Segway. It was supposed to change how cities were built. Turned out you looked too stupid driving one. Now it’s just for mall cops.

Probably behind a paywall but easy to find elsewhere.

“Anthropic’s new AI model threatened to reveal engineer’s affair to avoid being shut down.”

What did Musk say about Grok 4’s capabilities?

 

 

The xAI owner made several sweeping claims about Grok 4’s capabilities during the live stream announcement. During the presentation, Musk said the AI model was “smarter than almost all graduate students, in all disciplines, simultaneously.” The billionaire also claimed it was the “smartest AI in the world” and added: “It really is remarkable to see the advancement of artificial intelligence and how quickly it is evolving…AI is advancing just vastly faster than any human.” Musk said if Grok 4 were to take the SATs, it would get a “perfect” score every time. “With respect to academic questions, Grok 4 is better than PhD level in every subject, no exceptions,” Musk said, before adding that “it may lack common sense” at times. The billionaire also claimed he expects Grok to “discover new technologies that are actually useful no later than next year, and maybe end of this year…It might discover new physics next year.”

Of course it would get a perfect score on a test. It has stored all the answers.

That's not how it works.

Even a calculator is programmed to spit out numbers thanks to programming. It’ll get a perfect score, every time.

This gets a perfect score on every subject - not just math and multiple choice questions.  And not just simple facts.  It might not be "thinking" but its using its power to get answers and information from every resource available and then processing them to answer specific, detailed, extremely intricate and precise questions - instantly.  This has never been possible before.

It’s just a search engine. Whatever it can’t compute, it tries to skim off the Internet.

It is not “intelligence.” It’s algorithms. Lot of marketing, too. Like it needs human feedback, to derive results we like or want. If left to its own devices, it gets weird.

A.I. can only reproduce what humans have input.

It's only ever as smart as the human beings that program it. 

That computers can do "some things" faster and more efficiently than human beings is nothing new, and has been apparent since computers first appeared on the scene decades ago. 

 

But assembling bits and pieces of information from a broad swath of data banks programmed by humans isn't "intelligence" or "thinking", it's simply efficient computing - a process of reproducing and/or parsing information that humans have placed into multiple data banks.

You guys just don't understand.  So be it.  You guys think companies (and government, China) are spending billions or even trillions on fancy calculators.  They must be real stupid.

 

Watch what happens over the next 18 months.

 

 

 

 

 

China’s core AI industry may become a market valued at $140 billion by 2030, according to Morgan Stanley Research. That estimate jumps to $1.4 trillion when related sectors, such as infrastructure and component suppliers, are included.

You have already admitted computers are better/faster than humans.   I don't know why you think humans are the ultimate intelligence and computers can't work without our input.   "Answers" can be found, absent our help.  I can assure you.
