AI field observers report that developments once seen as major paradigm shifts now arrive every one to five days by 2026

@thetreygoff it do be like that these days

@QiaochuYuan I was musing to myself earlier about how funny it is that I opened X, saw an announcement that OpenAI has solved another much more important Erdos problem, shrugged, went on about my day lol

@QiaochuYuan and half the people say it's not real and the other half say it's not a big deal

@QiaochuYuan I think most people will think, "oh, cool, it solved an impressive math problem. it's been solving impressive math problems for at least a year now and that hasn't achieved anything in the real world like new tech or solving diseases"

@QiaochuYuan Yup, welcome to the event horizon of the singularity.

@hamandcheese A front row seat to the singularity, potentually one of the most important developments in the history of humankind. The people developing it reply to my posts sometimes. It's a surreal experience.

@QiaochuYuan

@QiaochuYuan remember when ppl were scared of 3.5 having direct access to the internet and tool use lol

@QiaochuYuan What do you think the Singularity meant? Vibes? Papers? Essays?

@QiaochuYuan bro if you knew what's coming you would've moved to a different galaxy bro. you're not only cooked, you're grilled and cut and fed to AI for soylent bro. and you'll like it bro. mythos will eat you for brunch bro, just 6 months to flatten the curve, 18 months any moment now bro

@QiaochuYuan It's a little exhilarating but I wish I was 45 or 50 years old or perhaps 10 years old instead of having to figure out what is a useful path and which skills are useful in a constantly shifting landscape.

@QiaochuYuan tbh I myself am not clear on how impressive this particular Erdos problem is vs. other ones that it's been solving, nor whether this contradicts Terence Tao's opinions on what AI can do or not do in math

@QiaochuYuan People need to have more faith

I remember 1 month before o3 was released people were losing their mind over a non-existing plateau for example lol

It is super clear that there is no end in sight

@QiaochuYuan I still feel extremely awed by every development in this technology and can't forget how impossible every new page we turn would have seemed only four years ago. It still feels as incredible as the GPT-2 Andean unicorns who spoke perfect English

@QiaochuYuan yeah because its all hype and bullshit. meaningless outside of this bubble of unrealistic ungrounded noise. but at least its entertaining

@QiaochuYuan they aint getting me off this thing

@QiaochuYuan And then having fucking withdrawals

@QiaochuYuan @yacineMTB It is a wild ride! 🔥🚀

@QiaochuYuan exhausting. Truly.

@hamandcheese billions will tweet
