<start>Here is an AI video from the prompt "otter using a laptop on an airplane" generated entirely offline on my computer using open AI text-to--video tools. The first video is from 2 weeks ago took and 20 minutes to make, now it only takes 3 minutes to render. Far from perfect, but very rapid progress. This was done with Pyramidflow, using Pinokio’s implementation from @cocktailpeanut.bsky.social @emollick.bsky.social

<start>This chart is an important one - costs have plummeted & abilities increased for GPT-4 over 18 months. This has a lot to do with fierce competition in the LLM space, which is creating a lot of pressure to innovate & cut prices. The future trend depends on how many labs can afford to keep scaling. www.nber.org/papers/w33139 @emollick.bsky.social

<start>If you ask AI models "Please give your best guess, along with your confidence as a percentage that that is the correct answer," their confidence aligns roughly with the chance of hallucination, but the actual confidence level is not accurate @emollick.bsky.social

<start>There are now papers showing that the migration of academic communities from Twitter to other social media sites mostly failed. But they never fully returned to Twitter either. I wonder if we will ever see so many different communities interacting in the same online space again. @emollick.bsky.social

<start>Maciej Cegłowski called super-intelligent AI “the idea that eats smart people” and I think it is a large part of why discussions of AI devolve, sucked into the gravity well of existential risk & reward. But there are lots of more immediate risks & rewards that need urgent focus and attention.

<start>AI ability is famously driven by scale but this scaling law may extend to user productivity Testing on professional translators “for every 10x increase in model compute, translators completed tasks 12.3% quicker, received 0.18 sd higher grades & earned 16% more per minute” arxiv.org/abs/2409.02391 @emollick.bsky.social
