If human need drives the creative process, then there will always be a human in the loop. Instead, each human becomes the “random seed” that initialises the process based on their own unique make-up. This is only different from how things w

Depends what you mean by creativity. In some ways, AI is not creative at all, everything is generated by mapping text to visuals using diffusion modelling via a shared latent space. It has no agency or creative thought of its own. Humans ha

In theory, creativity is an infinite space. As technology advances it allows humans to explore more and more complex things; take the advancement of music as an example, synths, loops etc. If humans are not stretched to their limits, and ar

I just had a thought. It used to be that complex C++ systems used to take so long to compile that developers used to go and have a coffee etc. This was before distributed compiling. Maybe it will return to that, the job will have a lot of w

I’m not saying people will be laid off, although this is what the article is about. So, I think people will still be prompting, but if you can prompt an agent and it can happily code away, what are you supposed to be doing ? Watching it do

The difference for me, is that things are changing too fast to keep up. For example, if a large part of your job is taken away seemingly overnight, by a new model, your whole job could change in a heartbeat. What preparation are you suppose

I think workplaces will have to allow people time to adapt. So that if your particular skill set is replaced by AI, you have the ability to retrain to a part that isn’t. Ultimately, large part of many jobs are repetitive, and can be replace

No worries, I wasn’t saying to you directly. I agree 15 disks is very difficult for a human, probably on a sheer stamina level; but I managed to do 8 in about 15 minutes by playing around (I.e. no practice). They do state that there is a ma

Not sure why I am being downvoted. I am simply saying that we know there is a defined algorithm for solving Tower of Hanoi, and the source code for it is widely available. So, o3 producing the code as an answer, demonstrates even less intel

I think that their point was that the problem is easily solvable by humans without code, and shows the ability to chain steps together to achieve a goal.

I think phrases like “going rogue” apportion too much agency to the AI. It is more likely that it just spirals out of control, and causes damage that way. I can’t imagine that the AIs will just be let loose without strict monitoring, as thi

I wonder if code becomes so complex that humans cannot understand, there may be a way to fool the LLMs into creating backdoors in the software. For example, a open source LLM is produced, used everywhere, and it subtly inserts some maliciou

This research seems to show that two X-rays can be identified as being from the same person, rather than identifying the person directly. However, I have no doubt that AI could easily de-anonymize data fully given enough data points.
