Two, Five and Ten Year Plan

I don’t think I am on the wrong forum, I was considering generative AI and more importantly the concept of ‘Strawberry’ where algorithms further question themselves 15 years ago.

I have always tried to consider ‘the future’ and I expect most developers here have a vested interest in understanding where their developments are heading.

In China I had a job selling tools on Amazon… I wrote algorithms to beat the competition against the likes of http://sellics.com (and won helping to create one of the top tool brands in the UK, US and EU based on statistics and consumer behavior).

Part of my job there was to consider a Two, Five and Ten Year Plan. Algorithms and generative AI was a part of my presentations however it was not really accepted well (except by my boss) as that didn’t meet required employment metrics.

I am not proud in any way of my job… My job kept my visa and gave my children a father…

As a ‘Developer’ with OpenAI (albeit one with no income) my goals are different… As a business developer my job was about fixing problems, for a ‘biased’ business purpose… As an ‘independent’ developer however my goals are completely different… I still want to fix problems… Those problems don’t involve telling Amazon to accept a broken product as their delivery issue knowing that these things are unchecked.

We can ask ChatGPT but I don’t know that a lot of people consider this so maybe it’s not the write ‘person’ to ask… However, just for fun I threw it a question:

Draw a logarithmic curve with worlds most powerful people and an addtional entry for the average OpenAI developer.

The graph depicts an illustrative power index on a logarithmic scale for various individuals, ranging from an average OpenAI developer to Joe Biden, showing a progressive increase. (Captioned by AI)

Ooops forgot the November cut-off date…

The line graph shows an Illustrative Power Index on a logarithmic scale, comparing various individuals, with "Average OpenAI Developer" having the lowest power index and Elon Musk the highest. (Captioned by AI)

Owch… Elon beat Trump :confused: …

So I’m wondering… Are there any ‘real-world’ problems being solved out there that might be relevantly shared here on the community part of the forum?

Who is to say what’s real these days but I saw this video and just wondered…

Is anyone here actually doing something like this?

Isn’t this intelligence we fight for?

Maybe not… Maybe there is some development goals other people see… I’d love to contribute but I don’t know where to go :frowning: ’

I mean… c’mon…

PROVE that this is a technology that is worth it’s value… Not to ‘game’ the stock market by reading videos for crypto currency investments faster than humans can but by contributing to society, to the human race…

Challenge yourself. challenge your company, challenge your COUNTRY!

The EMPRORER wears no clothes…

I beg you… CALL ME OUT!

OK I’m going to bump this with an idea and create a separate project thread for it…

I just want to post something that isn’t PhDs navel gazing waiting for their ‘AI Overload’ to whisk them into some drug induced nirvana based on an advancement in generative AI…

My Grandad had his 100th birthday last week. An age I am very unlikely to make… He trained to fly Spitfires in Canada…

(Please check the graph on this page… Slider is at the top… 5 years to 1.5… It’s simple math… Read a little deeper (use the slider) and maybe it’s 2.5 years :frowning:

The graph shows the global warming trend, indicating an estimated 1.36°C rise by October 2024, with projections reaching 1.5°C by June 2030 if the trend continues. (Captioned by AI)

How did we screw things up so bad since? The world seems to have gone into a nose dive.

A guy from the local men’s shed made a table for us this week too. It cost us less than a table from China.

I texted him today and asked him how sustainable this table was? Was it made out of pine wood (which ChatGPT told me from photos - and also told me that this was the most sustainable option)… Well… He popped round the house, we had a chat… apparently much of the wood, at least the legs, was reclaimed.

The biggest problem he had he said was that without a license he couldn’t reclaim a lot.

Now let’s check the resolution on this again… I think we kinda bottomed out on this log curve…

Where did this all start?.. in 2022 with ChatGPT? er maybe if you’re a Millennial…

Or maybe if you have lived a little longer you know this started, as an old friend of mine put it… with Abacus 2.0… Or the CPU based on Turing’s Machine and von Neumann’s architecture.

I read today that in the next 3 years we will create more data than in the whole of human history…

AND NO-ONE WILL READ IT! Like they didn’t really read the last 10 years either, most people certainly not the last 100.

So I’m going to ask those on this forum with a little free time to contribute meaningfully to a recycling effort…

Yep not this one… but a slightly more abstract offscreen one… Yep that world really does exist…

How powerful is this technology? Can it utilise existing knowledge in some way, even the knowledge that was never put online? In a HUMAN way?

Lawyers… Really? Why can’t wood be reclaimed?
Designers… How would I use ChatGPT best to share an image of a makeup table for my wife’s for our wedding anniversary with this guy who made the table.
Programmers… https://menssheds.org.uk/find-a-shed/ https://www.libraryofthings.co.uk/ … There’s a lot of data about… How does one best utilize it?

I came here 9 months ago to fix some problems… I put all my cards on the table…

I want my son to join NASA (Or SpaceX or whatever lol)… I want my daughter to be a doctor (or whatever she wants)…

Right now this is a rather pixelated forum, both feet in a dream world (no offense meant)…

Moderators trying to keep everything about API, real people developing ideas and being creative and hitting a hard wall…

What’s REAL?

There is a lot of speculative talk that AI could transcend us because it doesn’t follow ‘traditional logic’ but this is a fallacy… It follows ‘Metaphorical Logic’ ie something you wouldn’t quote on but you kinda get.. The world of the machine is not based on all that is, just all it knows ie Math from observed data…

I have not seen a single real world project on this forum… Just code, stories and AI generated lessons :confused:

Alternatively there is always the:
