On the eve of WordCamp US 2024 we find ourselves in the midst of a revolution. It is perhaps the most profoundly transformative technology revolution our species has experienced in our short history in this Universe. In fundamental terms, since computers have existed we have been programming them by writing individual functions by hand. We recently discovered how to train functions to solve problems so complex that all the programmers in all the world, working the entirety of their natural lives, would not be able to solve these problems using traditional programming. But it goes beyond that. We've figured out how to train an artificial brain to have a conversation with us that includes reasoning capability and problem solving. The hilarious part is that it was as simple as creating an AI model that predicts the next part of a conversation, which is a solution so simple it has left swathes of academia bitterly disappointed in both computer science and our own species. Surely our power of reason is more complex, more nuanced, more… special? We've even figured out how to train an artificial brain to be a world-class programmer, which will ultimately help us to create far more effective artificial brains. As the invention of computers created technology that accelerated innovation in hardware and software exponentially, so innovation in the field of AI will further accelerate the field. WordPress is what powers the majority of websites that publish content on the World Wide…Read More
