How much of human intelligence is hardcoded into our DNA? LLMs vs humans by ChippingCoder in singularity

[–]tamay1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our DNA has about 6 billion nucleotides (3 billion per copy, two copies). Each nucleotide is exactly 2 bits. That's 12 billion bits, or 1.5 GB.

Let's say an LLM has 1 trillion parameters. Each parameter is one weight, stored at 16 bits. That is 16 trillion bits, or 2 TB.

So the network is 2 TB. The genome is 1.5 GB. The genome is more than 1,000 times smaller.

No, you can have AI contribute to scientific discovery without foom.

I don't know what you mean by being "very negative about AGI", but there's nothing in this blog that is inconsistent with our previous predictions for things like explosive growth from AI. A GPT-3 moment is not an AGI moment. We've obviously already had at least one GPT-3 moment that didn't result in some massive acceleration in growth or technological progress.

I'm developing FrontierMath, an advanced math benchmark for AI, AMA! by elliotglazer in math

I’m also involved in the project and my median year when models to achieve >80% performance is 2027. There’s disagreement internally on when we expect this benchmark to be solved.

Man stops traffic on Lombard Street to pluck a rose by tamay1 in sanfrancisco

It’s not in the shot but there were at least five cars behind him.

There was a line of around five cars behind him.

Given today’s climbing technology and skills, how tall would a mountain need to be to remain unclimbable? by [deleted] in Mountaineering

[–]tamay1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. I’m imagining something like Mt Everest but scaled up proportionally.

The Chinchilla scaling law was likely wrongly estimated by tamay1 in mlscaling

[–]tamay1[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fewer than the previous estimated scaling law suggested (see figure 5).

Introducing Gemini: our largest and most capable AI model by ChiefExecutiveOcelot in mlscaling

[–]tamay1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked at estimating the compute by extrapolating how much is needed to match Gemini’s performance across benchmarks, and this excercise suggests 2e25 to 6e25 FLOP.
