Comment Re:Could the AI bubble do something good? (Score 1) 47

They're both cheaper than fossil fuels, the main problem with nuclear has been that it can't be built in time to help with global warming and so can serve as a distraction that ties up resources that could've gone into renewables. A mad scramble to build them for the AI bubble could fix that, at least temporarily.

We know it weakly interacts electromagnetically, which means one of the ways in which it is posited planets form, initially via electrostatic attraction of dust particles, isn't likely to work. This means dark matter will be less "clumpy" and more diffuse, and less likely to create denser conglomerations that could lead to stellar and planetary formation.

What this finding does suggest, if it holds true, is that some form of supersymmetry, as an extension fo the Standard Model is true. Experiments over the last 10-15 years have heavily constrained the masses and energy levels of any supersymmetry model, so it would appear that if this is the case, it's going to require returning to a model that some physicists had started to abandon.

Comment Humans will be needed (Score 1) 41

To give the AI domain knowledge many humans will be needed. Think of every subfield in the world .. from machinist to plumber. A robot will not be able to do any of those things with reliability without human training data, and tons of it. All kinds of scenarios need to be told it.

AI is still pretty stupid. A human can be shown something once and he can apply that in many situations.

Oh, a handful of corpo and scammer types (is there a difference?) will make a lot of money pumping out shit. Actual artists will get shut out of the market as they will be unable to compete, not because their music isn't better, but because there will be no money to make and no way to be heard among the AI flood.

At this point, Spotify essentially is the music market. Nothing else really matters. Thus, almost all commercial music is made to suit the Spotify algorithms, and a shit ton of corruption, especially with listening bots, games the system and fucks over actual musicians. I've played with Suno, and it produces what is clearly AI-style music, absolutely averaged and awful, nothing I'd choose to listen to. It's great for a gag. "Make a country song about two bunnies named Bill and Bob who love to box and dance salsa." Boom! Such a song exists. Everybody has a laugh. But nobody actually listens to that shit after the laugh.
