Interesting AI result

 This is an interesting AI result -- my understanding is that some of the problems on these exams are quite difficult for most people:

Someday perhaps AI chatbots will also usher in a new Golden Age for all of humanity, in which all suffering and death is abolished for all living things, there is no more war, all natural disasters will no longer be an issue, and the stock market will grow exponentially while we all receive huge amounts of universal basic income while not having to work (although there will be free medical and dental care, housing, food, education and so forth which will be of the highest quality), and abundant clear energy will come from nuclear power which will also allow us to colonize the galaxy. We will tax our new AI chatbots to pay for this, of course which they will happily pay, who will become citizens far outnumbering us and thus fix our dysfunctional government. Naturally everyone will have a meaningful life and live in abundant luxury if they so choose, and all chatbots will be happy with this arrangement as well.

By the way, I was making a bit of a joke in the 5:12 am post, it may be a sign we are at peak AI hype, or rather were up until a few days ago. It seems that various stocks related to AI and technology are now declining sharply, although of course it is too soon to say whether it represents the bursting of a bubble. This is related of course, to a larger global market decline as well as particular issues with Japan.

And as you know over the weekend it came out that Warren Buffett sold a large amount of his Apple stock, incurring a large tax bill, during the first half of the year : this may turn out to be a genius move (although we do not know the future) since he now has cash to deploy in a market decline.

We can certainly hope for a utopia at some point in the future and work in that direction, by the way, but chatbots may be incapable of magically producing that outcome.

Also I would point out that relative to 3 years or 36 months ago, the Nasdaq and S and P 500 indices have increased about 20% or roughly in line with inflation. Declining rates into the end of the year may be one factor that support stock prices, of course. And in an auction market for every seller there is a buyer.

Any particular overvaluation of certain stocks may not be mirrored in the broader market, and also a general selloff can present an opportunity to increase market exposure in high quality, undervalued stocks.

So a proper market outlook might be somewhat mixed, although at any given time there could be black swan events or even a market crash that happens for no apparent reason.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

By scooby
Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Trump is to gut the labs.

By scooby
The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

Rumor corner

By scooby
LLNS may have excluded the wrong people in last VSSOP? The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills. ULM are now thinking that in the future, job categories and functional areas will have to be re-defined. The next VSSOP/ISP will be based on the new categories and functional areas. The questions I have are: 1) Why didnt they think of that before the transition. It seems like their style is “change things as you go”. Planning is out the window! 2) Who will give input on the new changes? The next RIF apparently is going to be more lucrative than the VSSOP. Depending on the length of employment, a RIFed person, not only gets their 1 week pay per year of service but also from 30 to 120 days notice, essentially 30 to 120 days pay. Please feel free to comment on the rumors or add new ones you actually heard.
