AI is not a normal technology

AI can do anything that it was trained on based on humans. As soon as humans are not involved, AI will have nothing to train on, and hence, the rate of improvement will approch zero, and the AI will collapse.

Nowadays training relies heavily on reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards (RLVR), which assesses a model's output according to objective automated checks, not subjective human judgments.

Human knowledge races up to the frontier through formal education and then nudges past the frontier a little bit at a time and AI will train on AI outputs that do the same. But, it will do it 1000x faster than humans because that's just how they work.

>1000x faster than humans

Some of the process of expanding the frontier is not parallelizable and is built on top of previous discoveries. And pushing the frontier requires doing things in the real world, or running experiments that take significant real world time that can hurt your 1000x faster claim.

what a dumb thing to keep repeating at this point

Why?

Because all the models train on synthetic data too, plus they can collect their own data with robots.

Just ignoring all the recently solved math problems human, huh?

If you understood how they were solved, you'd see that you're only bolstering the point you were responding to.

I wish AI could do my chores. Laundry, folding clothes, dishes, cleaning... That would be nice.

If it does that, you should hope it can also stand in bread lines for you too.

Unfortunately that will never happen because the people who stand to benefit most from AI already have cost-efficient (see grossly underpaid) humans to do this for them.

They need AI to replace the expensive not cost-effective humans.

Sorry, AI only does the fun stuff.

Off to the silica sand mines with you and the rest of the meat bags to keep the AI well fed.

Washing machines, dish washers, power washers, etc exist.

Yours put your laundry and dishes away?

one day soon, right?

literally the only thing i want out of ai ^^^^

that said, it is fun generating code with them

this will of course happen in a few years...

Won’t matter. Most of us won’t have paychecks to buy it with.

Kidding (…kinda).
