Billionaires Convince Themselves AI Chatbots Are Close to Making New Scientific Discoveries—Gizmodo, on Travis Kalanic claiming that LLM generatuive AI will be making massive scientific discoveries any day now.
This should not be a surprise, coming from a guy whose skill is political lobbying, raising venture capital money, and breaking the law.
I don't know if the Silly-Con Valley billionaires started off this stupid, of if they have destroyed brain cells from sniffing their own farts once they got rich, but they are morons.
Generative artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok have exploded in popularity as AI becomes mainstream. These tools don’t have the ability to make new scientific discoveries on their own, but billionaires are convinced that AI is on the cusp of doing just that. And the latest episode of the All-In podcast helps explain why these guys think AI is extremely close to revolutionizing scientific knowledge.
Travis Kalanick, the founder of Uber who no longer works at the company, appeared on All-In to talk with hosts Jason Calacanis and Chamath Palihapitiya about the future of technology. When the topic turned to AI, Kalanick discussed how he uses xAI’s Grok, which went haywire last week, praising Adolf Hitler and advocating for a second Holocaust against Jews.
There's more in the article, but the fact that the leech who created Uber thinks that it's hunky-dory to use an overgrown Eliza program that has gone full Nazi as the way to enlightenment, something has gone profoundly wrong with him.
