@telmudic @halvorz it’s much much much easier because RNA structure is highly modular and there’s like a handful of canonical 2 or 3 way junctions. it’s harder in that most rna is pretty wiggly. i think recent papers have shown we’re very close

in 2007 jensen huang makes a universally pilloried decision that nvidia needs to focus on scientific compute workloads instead of taking. we’re talking a couple billion dollars a year for physics sims, drug discovery, fluid flow, etc. AMD starts beating their asses in gaming

moravec argues that evolution has improved sensorimotor skill over the course of 10^9 years and are extremely finely honed and complex algorithms. and that on the other hand abstract language reasoning have been around only 10^5 yrs and must be relatively simple and inefficient
151 ♥ · 4 RT · x.com →
· ↳ reply to @tszzl
it doesn't seem true at all that the incredible feats of reasoning that large language models have demonstated are some sort of minor subset of intelligence and that real world interaction is the bulk of difficulty etc
39 ♥ · x.com →
· ↳ reply to @tszzl
moreover the argument seems to be "just so" reasoning about evolution. i can make an equally convincing claim that since these skills arose so early on and several times in parallel, they must be relatively simple. meanwhile language is so complex to have arisen only once
50 ♥ · x.com →
· ↳ reply to @tszzl
but this argument is clearly untrue from what we've seen in the development of deep learning models. for example facial recognition and generalized vision is an incredibly ancient biological technology that deep networks recapitulated in silico as soon as GPUs let them fly
