Will AI Produce Useless Humans?

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, education, robotics/AI

The other day a friend proudly told me she wrote a heartwarming graduation card to her teenage son. “Okay,” she confessed. “I

How long was your card? I asked her.


Not only that, but many also couldn’t even generate a topic on their own. They lacked creativity to dream up their own ideas, much less the critical thinking skills to put themselves in the shoes of their audience, imagining what would land. But they all had 4.0 GPAs or higher and came from private schools in Orange County and LA, reflecting our watered-down educational system.

Meta’s new LIMA language model reaches GPT-4 level

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

With LIMA, Meta’s AI researchers introduce a new language model that achieves GPT-4 and Bard level performance in test scenarios, albeit fine-tuned with relatively few examples.

LIMA stands for “Less is More for Alignment,” and the name hints at the model’s function: It is intended to show that with an extensively pre-trained AI model, a few examples are sufficient to achieve high-quality results.

Few examples in this case means that Meta manually selected 1,000 diverse prompts and their output from sources such as other research papers, WikiHow, StackExchange, and Reddit.

Cytoelectric Coupling: Electrical Fields Fine-Tune Brain Functioning

Posted by in categories: electronics, neuroscience

Summary: Scientists present a hypothesis dubbed “Cytoelectric Coupling” suggesting electrical fields within the brain can manipulate neuronal sub-cellular components, optimizing network stability and efficiency. They propose these fields allow neurons to tune the information-processing network down to the molecular level.

Comparatively, this process is akin to households arranging their TV setup for optimal viewing experience. The theory, open for testing, could significantly enhance our understanding of the brain’s inner workings.
