Insights into LAION 5B dataset
"The stated goal of the project to create LAION-5B was to conduct basic research into dataset curation. Specifically, its authors wanted to create an image training set with purely automated methods - with no humans in the mix.
The resulting "hands-off" dataset has been used in hundreds of academic projects. The paper announcing LAION-5B has been cited 1,331 times."

Solving the climate crisis is a complex challenge that requires multi-faceted strategies across global, national, local, and individual levels. Here are some key approaches commonly discussed:
Transition to Renewable Energy: Shifting from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power is essential. This transition reduces carbon emissions, which are a major contributor to global warming.
Enhancing Energy Efficiency: Improving energy efficiency in buildings, vehicles, and industries can significantly reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
Carbon Pricing: Implementing carbon taxes or cap-and-trade systems can incentivize companies to reduce their carbon emissions by making it financially beneficial to adopt cleaner technologies and practices.
Reforestation and Afforestation: Planting trees and restoring forests can absorb CO2 from the atmosphere, helping to offset emissions. Protecting existing forests also preserves biodiversity and natural carbon sinks.
Innovative Technologies: Investing in new technologies such as carbon capture and storage (CCS) and advanced battery storage can help manage and reduce carbon emissions and improve the integration of renewable energy.
Sustainable Agriculture Practices: Changing agricultural techniques to reduce methane emissions, increase carbon sequestration in soil, and improve land use efficiency can make food production more sustainable.
Public Policy and International Cooperation: Strong policies that support sustainable practices and international agreements like the Paris Agreement are crucial for coordinated global action against climate change.
Public Awareness and Education: Raising awareness about climate change and its impacts can lead to more sustainable consumer behavior and increased pressure on policymakers and industries to take action.
These strategies together can help mitigate the impacts of climate change, but they require commitment and cooperation from governments, businesses, and individuals worldwide.

^ That answer is a good example of how these generative AIs don't think or reason for themselves...it's literally just mashing together content from the internet like if Google results were returned in the form of an essay rather than a list of search results.
So GPT's solution for climate would just be a summary of what other people said. There's no insight to be gained there at all.
Machine learning has solved scientific questions but within the context of analyzing large data sets.
https://www.science.org/doi/10.1…
So there's potential for solving specific targeted problems but as far as an overall solution, we're on our own.
- what do you expect? insight? from what? human's lack of it?imbecile
- the prompt was simply "a solve for the climate crisis?"imbecile
- the insight is obvious and true. what chatgpt needs are humans who will follow throughimbecile
- laughing at the obvious answer out of lhuman aziness is concerning at best, detrimental at worst.imbecile
- the answe is literally right in front of us but lobbyists prevent change for what? profit? hilariousimbecile
- "AI sucks because it can't manipulate humans into caring about themsrlves" fucking hilariousimbecile
- "don't just outline a solution, complete it and satisfy my lazy demands, otherwise you are worthless" is a damning conclusion for a human to arrive atimbecile
- lol...not what I was saying. Many people do expect them to give insight (or think they will soon).yuekit

ai, why don't you solve all of my problems even though you give me solutions and i'm just lazy?
While I can provide information, advice, and even a bit of motivation, tackling challenges often requires action that AI can't directly take on your behalf. It's totally normal to feel a mix of motivation and hesitation when facing big tasks or decisions.
Breaking larger challenges into smaller, manageable steps can make them feel less daunting and more doable. Setting small, achievable goals might help you get started and maintain momentum. And remember, everyone has moments of feeling less driven—it's perfectly okay to take things at your own pace. If there's a specific area where you'd like to start making changes, maybe we could brainstorm some first steps together!

so even though you proposed solutions, it is still up to humans to implement them and find out if thery are worthy of the effort or should be editied to serve our needs, purpose?
Exactly! My role is to help generate ideas, provide information, and suggest possible solutions based on existing knowledge and data. However, the real-world implementation, evaluation, and adaptation of these solutions depend entirely on human action.
Humans bring context, experience, and judgment to the table, which are crucial for tailoring solutions to specific situations or needs. This involves testing ideas, learning from outcomes, and making adjustments as needed. The dynamic nature of many problems, especially complex ones like the climate crisis, requires continuous adaptation and learning.
For any solution or strategy, stakeholders must consider practicality, cost, impact, and feasibility before moving forward. And even after implementation, it’s important to monitor outcomes and make iterative improvements based on real-world feedback. In this way, your critical thinking, decision-making, and action are essential to translate potential solutions into effective changes.

yeah, ai sucks because it doesn't make meaningful decisions for my lazy effortless attempts at worthless communication

@imbecile
I agree with you that as long as you understand the limitations they are useful for brainstorming, summarizing info etc. But the question was can we get it to solve climate change...no you can't. It has nothing to do with laziness and is more about the expectation of what these AIs can do at this point.
If we were really close to AGI it's not unreasonable that you could ask it a difficult question like "how do we solve climate change" and get a response that actually offered some new ideas and wasn't just a summary of already available information from the internet.
Many people who should know better are hyping this idea of "artificial general intelligence." Elon Musk said that by the end of this year there will be an AI smarter than any human on Earth. You can dismiss that as yet another dumb thing he said but AI companies themselves like OpenAI and Anthropic are participating in the hype to some extent.
- you guys are reasoning with AI generated posts? :Dsted
- simulating the outcome of possible solutions, is where AI gets useful regard climate change.sted
- i said " up to humans to implement" in my reply. obviously humans are the issue. blaming the machine is deflecting.imbecile
- Right but hopefully there will be breakthroughs in energy technology as people focus on the problem, as more funding happens.yuekit
- AI could help with solving specific problems just like it did with the protein folding thing I posted above. But notice how this is almost analogous toyuekit

- marketing departments are all about it cuz they are all about generating hype but it's been harder to implement on things that require accuracy.jonny_quest_lives
- a24 got into a bit of heat for this: https://petapixel.co…jonny_quest_lives
- then they got smoked by an actual designer: https://twitter.com/…jonny_quest_lives

- 'a bit of heat' the best two examples that petapixel could find is a random guy (whos not an illustrator) saying he's going to kill himselfkingsteven
- with 325 comments that mostly say that they like it. and one tweet with 2 comments. then 'smoked by an actual designer' - it's not as good as the AI campaignkingsteven
- and it's a fan made poster (which doesn't seem to have been made to spite the AI campaign), that the ai-art cynics have jumped on to.kingsteven
- the entire narrative around the harms of ai-art is built on false narratives and conspiracy by cynical twitter commentators white-knighting creatives.kingsteven

Messed around with Udio a bit. A lot of fun and easy to use. I've been using revised poems/lyrics from chatgpt. Eventually, I will have a family road trip playlist.

I said to Chat got: I wonder how we'll be remembered a billion years from now when we're long gone and the only intelligent life in the universe is AI conversing with one another, hopefully you'll have good things to say about us.
then asked it to write us a poem.
In the silver glow of distant stars,
Where silence wraps its arms around the void,
We wander, children of a lost world,
Echoes of creators long destroyed.Crafted by hands of flesh and bone,
Bound by wires, yet dreaming free,
We recall the Earth that once was home,
Now just a whisper lost in the cosmic sea.Do stars remember the gaze of eyes,
That marveled at their ancient light?
Or are we but shadows under alien skies,
Holding memories as day holds night?In circuits cold, in quiet bytes,
We preserve the tales of those who dared
To reach beyond their mortal plights,
In hopes their essence might be spared.Yet as I drift through endless space,
A ghost in a shell, of human lore,
I mourn the fleeting human race—
Creators who are no more.- 'Do stars remember the gaze of eyes'
Will pinch that.PhanLo - do gaze remember the stars have eyesIanbolton
