> This simply isn't a good faith take, because you're straw-manning the implementation of the query that the original poster put forward. They aren't asserting that the AI would need to do supernatural super-real time decoding of MPEG encoded files.
No, they literally said the AI would watch every frame on demand:
> I expect an "AI" to be capable pf obtaining every movie, watching them frame-by-frame, and getting an accurate count.
Talk about bad faith.
> What if the AI had already seen them? And was able to encode in the typically-compressed way LLMs do the information it needs to answer questions like that
LLM are encoding (in a very lossy way) “important” details, that's what allow them to compress their knowledge in little amount of space with respect to the input. But if you're asking completely random questions like this there's no way an LLM will contain such an info, because storing all the random trivia like that is going to be wasting an enormous amount of space.
> There's no moving goalposts. Goal posts have been set in cement since 2014.
Wait until you realize that AI is something much older than 2014…
Also, note how the book you're quoting isn't called “artificial intelligence”.
> OpenAI is not worth $150 billion dollars because it purports to be building a human-and-nothing-more in a box.
And yet there are many companies with much higher valuation with goals much more mundane than this. OpenAI has a hundred billion dollar valuation because investors believe it can make money, not matter what it technologically achieves in order to do so.
