Testing a Cold War-Era AI on Satellite Image Datasets

I came across a cool model developed during the Cold War. I wanted to see how it would perform at image recognition, so I downloaded the UC Merced Land Use Dataset and wrote a script to add Gaussian noise to the photos and measure performance over a series of trials using Monte Carlo simulations. It is very efficient and appears well suited for FPGA implementation. It only uses about 50 MB of RAM. The satellite photos are converted to grayscale, downscaled to roughly 32×32, and converted into a fingerprint that is roughly 128 bytes in size. Therefore, the database of 800 TIFs is about 100 KB total. I’ll include the test and debug images so you can see how the process works. The model basically selects the stored pattern that best matches the noisy input based on what it has learned f...

I simply do not understand how massively expensive AI and robotics are expected to be more cost effective than humans.

I simply do not understand how massively expensive AI and robotics are expected to be more cost effective than humans.

Can someone help me understand this? I mean, how on earth are these companies who are planning to replace us all with beep boops expecting these unimaginably high expense technologies to be better for their bottom line than just paying us low wage unwashed masses? I mean, some dude (respectfully, I use that term genderlessly) here just posted about min wage in their area being $7.25! You are not getting a robot or AI that costs less annualized. Even adding in annual benefits - that is a steal compared to data centers and complex robots who will be absurdly expensive to fix when they break. I’m a white collar worker with deep knowledge of worker costs, even at the top it’s cheaper than what all of this new buggy crap is going to cost. I’m so confused. What am I missing? Why are the evil ove...

“I’m retired. I showed my MS Paint paintings to AI for feedback. It accidentally invented an entire fake art movement. Google believes it’s real.”

"I'm retired and started showing my MS Paint paintings to AI for criticism. The AI invented feuding critics, manifestos and a legal barrister to defend my work. Google now has a definition for my made up term. Here's what an accidental human/AI creative partnership looks like."

Who am I even supposed to trust when it comes to the future of AI?

I am a PhD student (not in AI) and am usually alright when it comes to studying a topic I don't know much about. But it seems that because AI is so highly discussed nowadays, it's impossible to get a good gauge of what the rational scholarly consensus is regarding its and our future. I am constantly bombarded with people saying that at best most jobs are replaced and the future is a dystopia, and at worst AGI/ASI is achieved and we all are killed by a bioweapon or something. It honestly has me terrified, especially when I see a lot of figures in the AI sphere, including academics, seem to think that there are reasonably high "p(doom)"'s (what a horrifying concept that is). How am I supposed to parse all of this? Are there any actually level-headed people? Or are the people shouting about d...

Rethinking AI Bubble

For those worried about the AI Bubble bursting, it's not happening, at least for now, not until atleast OpenAI and Anthropic are listed (later this year). And if you actually discount Nvidia, and check the PE of AI companies right now OpenAI (35x) and anthropic (13x), these valuations do not really seem unsustainable as of now, and not to mention unlike the DotCom bubble, they have massive data centre infrastructure, so this is all not in the air. AI is here to stay, it's already altering our lives, taking up workspaces and transforming work, there is a massive upfront cost but that does not immediately signal a bubble unfolding. If any bubble bursts, it would not be solely the AI Bubble, it would be the government bonds and the dollar bubble. Edit: I wrote the post hastily, sorry for writ...
