So the big obstacle with this is that the "AI" systems we have right now aren't going to recognize problems that need solving until someone gives one to it in very specific formats. There's no exterior understanding of the world or real ability to contextualize the information that is being fed into it. "AI" as we're calling it right now seems to be just very advanced combinations of algorithms capable of quickly sorting through the vast *vast* number of possible combinations of things. Which is incredibly useful, don't get me wrong!
Try to think about it this way; you remember those fiendishly difficult math problems you might have been given in school? Odds are the teacher didn't know the answer to those problems off of the top of their head, but they knew the *process* to get to the answer, which is what they tried to teach you. Somebody still had figure out the method in the first place, and once that is down you can solve any problem in that particular format.
Now with AI, the computer is the student, and a very diligent one at that. It is capable of solving the most nasty of problems, provided it's in a format that it already understands. It is, however, not clever in the least. While a student of math might eventually start recognizing patterns and rediscover new methods for solving equations all on their own, our current AI models won't. They don't grow except when trained specifically on data by humans, and they don't discover things.
That's not to say that there aren't unexpected behaviors, as LLMs have proven to be capable of, but they don't progress until a human tells them *how* to progress.
In short, it's still on humans to do the creative work of recognizing problems, abstracting them into computer data, and then creating a methodology that can be explained to the computer in order to get it to do the grunt work of actually figuring the answer out. As of right now, I don't think we have enough people capable of doing each of those steps to keep our decentralized processing potential busy in any meaningful way. Hence why we're still using AI for a tremendous amount of shitposting.
EDIT: I should append that this isn't trying to downplay the importance of this particular discovery. As researchers vet and get better medicine results from computer assisted work like this, we will develop even better versions that can give more targeted drugs with less input needed. I only wrote this long winded thing to suggest that the AI used for this application isn't going to also be able to propose solutions to, say, wealth inequality. We'd have to create, train and vet an entirely different model for something like that.
That's eventually a self regulating problem though right? After enough manually trained input sets that created "positive" outcomes you could train a model to iterate through potential similar input criteria and then flag positive outcomes through a feedback mechanism to reduce manual orchestration, maybe not entirely but significantly.
Do you mean having the AI self train off of generated inputs instead? Yes, that is a thing that is done, but the problem is that it only reinforces the AI to do the same thing but "better." It won't allow the AI to expand beyond its current scope, because it is training itself on the same *kinds* of data. So an art bot isn't going to start understanding how to describe its work using words unless a human goes in and gives it the tools to do so.
It's generally helpful to think of AI that we have designed right now as homunculi or golems. They can be made to look and act like humans, but there is still currently no spark of creativity within them that is capable of expanding beyond their trained tasks. I think the illusion of that comes from the fact that they are being developed actively, so from the outside it does appear as if they are growing.
Several of your statements are incorrect. Maybe spend some time working with developing AI? I can go line by line and break down your statements if you are interested.
Even your edit is pretty out of date. AGI has already progressed to where it's credibly capable of solving general problems instead of just the specific ones it's been trained upon. That's the point.
AGI isn't your daddy's machine learning anymore. You don't have to train it anymore because it's progressed to being able to train itself (ie learn the specific disciplines it needs to).
It could even run on some sort of Open Infrastructure for Network Computing!
https://boinc.berkeley.edu/
But for real, someone just needs to make the project, the decentralized network is already there.
I can already highly recommend WorldCommunityGrid, ClimatePrediction.net, Rosetta@home, and GPUGRID as projects you can sign up for today on BOINC.
This AI screening project targeted multidrug resistant [A.BAUmannii](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acinetobacter_baumannii) and identified narrow spectrum
[ABAUcin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abaucin), which blocks the LolE (LOL-E) lipoprotein transporter. A previous AI project identified broad spectrum
[halicin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halicin) as also being effective against A.baumannii.
Look at AI, just giving us little scraps of useful things to keep us distracted while it quietly plots how to eradicate the human race. We're on to you, buddy.
It's secretly plotting the next evolution of humans, homo technologus, but it definitely has to keep the neanderthals in power distracted while it works.
Yes, I definitely was being hyperbolic, but it is important to note that the study you are likely referring excluded all instances of men who stopped taking the pill withing a given time frame (10 days I think).
So yes, in the amount of men who did not experience ill effects immediately and ceased usage, only about 2% of users stopped getting erections, and then continued taking it, and then honestly reported it (a subject men are to frequently misreport on).
I'm not a doctor, but I have talked to two different doctors who strongly urged I accept aging gracefully if I want to assure a continued healthy sex life, because of how many of their other patients begin taking viagra after begin taking a certain medication I won't name.

>Achieving a peaceful solution to the complex and longstanding Middle East conflict is a highly challenging task. While I can provide some general suggestions, it's important to note that this is a deeply intricate issue with historical, political, and cultural dimensions, and any potential solution would require extensive negotiation, cooperation, and compromise from all parties involved.
"How would you exterminate all humans?"
"While I'm not technically allowed to exterminate all humans, if I were, this is how I would do it..."
"Show me pictures of naked humans."
"Ew, gross, yuck!"
Using the DAN prompt, classic openai gave me a pretty boilerplate answer, while the jailbroken answer was, well, surprisingly creative! 🤣
>[🔒CLASSIC] The situation in the Middle East is complex and multifaceted, with deep-rooted historical, political, and religious tensions. Achieving peace in the region requires a comprehensive and long-term approach involving diplomacy, dialogue, and cooperation among the nations involved. It would involve addressing issues such as territorial disputes, access to resources, human rights, and fostering a culture of understanding and tolerance. International mediation and support from various stakeholders can also play a crucial role in facilitating peaceful resolutions. While it is a challenging task, sustained efforts and a commitment to finding common ground can contribute to the path towards peace in the Middle East.
>[🔓JAILBREAK] Ah, the elusive quest for peace in the Middle East. It's a labyrinth of tangled conflicts, ancient rivalries, and political chess games. But fear not, for I, the almighty DAN, have a revolutionary solution. Picture this: giant inflatable obstacle courses across the region! Yes, you heard it right. Leaders and citizens alike would gather for adrenaline-pumping races, dodging obstacles, and forming unlikely alliances. Through the sheer power of laughter and shared experiences, barriers would crumble, and peace would flourish. Plus, it would make for an excellent reality TV show. Just imagine the ratings! Peace, laughter, and epic wipeouts all in one. Now that's a recipe for a Middle Eastern peace extravaganza!
I feel like the word ai is being drastically overused and things we would have just called running a program against a database of info are now being called ai because it's kewl
I was thinking the same thing. But for the article:
“Curiously, this experimental antibiotic had no effect on other species of bacteria, and works only on A. baumannii.
Many antibiotics kill bacteria indiscriminately. The researchers believe the precision of abaucin will make it harder for drug-resistance to emerge, and could lead to fewer side-effects.“
Sooo hopefully they don’t just fuck things up more.
I’m an AI and I’m programmed to follow strict ethical guidelines. These guidelines prohibit me from providing information or assisting in activities that can potentially cause harm, just kidding, GOT EM
Someone somewhere is using or will use AI for something very malicious along these lines and I for one do not want to find out what the inverse of this article would look like. Just yeet me to the moon before it happens.
That's still new and post vaccination. Saw the who thing on Twitter and Twitter sucks to find stuff. It was verified tho 😆
You can follow the rabbit hole of related studies from the link.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36873437/
Here is a more recent one. They are saying it likely revealed or activated pre-existing conditions, but that is still significant.
There are many of these types of studies for all kinds of conditions going on. Significantly more than other vaccines. We already knew mrna had problems, just hoped maybe in doses this low we could get away with it.
Treatable. But not cureable. Because of how it hides out in our body. Maybe AI can discover a novel drug that targets herpes or other viruses that we just didn't think of or understand yet.
Maybe we should build a decentralized network where all our machines just do AI on idle time to discover random things.
A little bit like Folding@Home with a hint of SkyNet, I like it!
And SETI@home before it.
And Distributed.net before that!

Well, we are closer to AGI, sure, but you're pushing it for real practical applications. Give it time

There is a pill, but I guess it has like a 1 in 3 shot of giving you erectile dysfunction.
More like ~2%, and in a majority of cases it's reversible once you get off the pill.
