Listening to The Ezra Klein Show (What if Dario Amodei Is Right About A.I.?): https://nytimes.com/2024/04/12/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-dario-amodei.html

Back in 2018, Dario Amodei worked at OpenAI. And looking at one of its first A.I. models, he wondered: What would happen as you fed an artificial intelligence more and more data? He and his colleagues decided to study it, and they found that the A.I. didn’t just get better with more data; it got better exponentially.

knitter,

@ianRobinson What do you make of it?

@knitter I’m only half way through the episode.

@knitter it’s worth a listen though, based on the first half. As are the other AI focused episodes before this one.

@ianRobinson Common sense would suggest that while the growth may be exponential for a bit, there would be an asymptote.

Also and unfairly, because I will not listen to the program, what were the metrics used to evaluate “better?” Were they suggesting 2n source data -> n^2 correctness? As I believe this is essentially applied probability theory, were they asserting the unsurprising result that larger sample sets increases confidence values?

@pomCountyIrregs I’m still listening to it.

@pomCountyIrregs You should listen to it. It’s already a summary of the field. Any summary of this summary would require a significant bit of work from me. And it wouldn’t be better than getting the info directly from the source.
