Watching Trump teeter on the edge of blowing up the world economy because of a combination of hubris, strategic incoherence, mendacity and outright stupidity, might be the most extraordinarily depressing thing I have observed in my entire life, or read about in any other period.

In 2016 Hinton predicted that AI would replace all radiologists in five years. Ten years later, why hasn't it happened? This post is a great explainer. www.understandingai.org/p/ai-isnt-re...

AI isn't replacing radiologists
Radiology combines digital images, clear benchmarks, and repeatable tasks. But demand for human radiologists is at an all-time high.

I cannot express how bad this story is for generative AI. OpenAI is burning hundreds of millions of dollars to try and make GPT-5 a meaningful upgrade, and it isn't working. Where does all of this go? How does this result in anything?
OpenAI’s new artificial-intelligence project is behind
schedule and running up huge bills. It isn’t clear when
—or if—it’ll work. There may not be enough data in the
world to make it smart enough.
The project, officially called GPT-5 and code-named
Orion, has been in the works for more than 18 months
and is intended to be a major advancement in the
technology that powers ChatGPT. OpenAI’s closest
partner and largest investor, Microsoft, had expected
to see the new model around mid-2024, say people
with knowledge of the matter.
OpenAI has conducted at least two large training runs,
each of which entails months of crunching huge
amounts of data, with the goal of making Orion
smarter. Each time, new problems arose and the
software fell short of the results researchers were
hoping for, people close to the project say.At best, they say, Orion performs better than OpenAI’s
current offerings, but hasn’t advanced enough to
justify the enormous cost of keeping the new model
running. A six-month training run can cost around
half a billion dollars in computing costs alone, based
on public and private estimates of various aspects of
the training.
