"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I'm curious if the Wolfram Alpha of 10 years ago could have answered this properly. I remember fucking around with weird math related word questions in Wolfram back in school, like "how many calories are in a cubic lightyear of butter" and it given a reasonable sounding answer (and backed it up).

did it assume nuclear or burning?

like if you asked about 1cm^3 of butter, it would be reasonable to assume that you did the experiment on Earth in our atmosphere, but scaling up the size significantly changes the expected surrounding environment
