Another dumb question from Gman...

Where the heck did AI suddenly come from?
It's like there was almost no progression to it. It just suddenly exploded out of nowhere.
What was the fundament technological leap that got us here?

Just gets way better every 3-4 months as LLM is fairly new tech. Definitely starting to see trade offs and some plateau with the big state of the art stuff over the last 6 months.
Learning/training has been revolutionized in the last 3 years with grace-hopper and now Grace-Blackwell. These machines have many multiple times the compute and bandwidth combination than anything ever made in the past.
Still huge problem with models self serving and bullshitting but it sure is nice to have a search that’s purpose is actually getting you answers instead of selling you crap or indexing an internet full of trash. It’s almost like we got the real internet back from 20+ years ago when searching actually found good stuff.
Edit. Also money, lots and lots of money.

Cool. So pretty much the same thing with AI visuals. That stuff is already getting so realistic, and harder and harder to spot, it's down right scary.

IBM had Watson, which was "AI" before 2023 for years. But in IBM fashion, they couldn't sell jack shite. Mostly, "AI" is being substituted to refer to any system that humans program. It's not "AI" in 95% of cases you'll run into, it's just people coding decision trees and outcomes.

It's State of the Art.

Ya I don’t know as much about visuals but I know a lot of new tools are being released for both could and local.
Decent quality visuals were insanely expensive months ago (dollars per second) and now people with $3000 5090 rigs can crank out several 5 minute videos per day even with complex models.
The challenge there used to be how 32GB could only fit maybe 5-20 seconds of video math but maybe there are better ways to chunk and overlap that now on top of the doubling in GPU and PCIe performance.

We haven't seen anything yet. We are approaching the singularity.
AI is already being used to write its own code and design its own chips. This will keep snowballing and accelerating.
quote:Probably more like a lot of tiny hops and a lot of money. I think it's been pretty much steady progression that just feels like a big leap because the pace of AI is faster than what we're used to.

64 bit hardware and 64 bit operating systems are great enablers.
32 bit systems limited RAM access to 4 GB.
