Degenerative AI… The recent failures of "artificial intelligence" tech

yesterday is Elon raised $6 billion for

his linear algebra company xai then

predicted artificial general

intelligence surpassing humans will be

here by next year moments later meta's

Chief AI wizard yon laon joined the chat

to roast Elon on his own platform

basically implying that his predictions

are insane Elon clapped back casting

doubt on Yan's science abilities then

Yan was like dog I've published 80

technical papers in the last 2 years how

about you Elon was like that's nothing

and then Yan was like well if it's not

published it's definitely not signed

science and then elon's all this is one

of the dumbest things anyone has ever

said at which point Yan gave him the

elitist definition of how science Works

thus concluding one of the dumbest

debates of all time between two of the

brightest Minds in technology Yan and

Elon may not agree on the definition of

science but they also disagree on the

future of AGI Elon says it's about to

come but yon thinks it may never come

some say that AI is not even real it's

just the greatest marketing scam ever

pulled by the linear algebra industry

and in today's video we'll look at five

recent examples that are both hilarious

and terrifying of when linear your

algebra goes wrong it is May 30th 2024

and you're watching the code report

first up we need to talk about stability

AI which might need to be renamed

unstable Ai and that's unfortunate

because it's a far more open AI company

than its competitors like open Ai and

they create the best open image models

out there like stable diffusion it's

raised a lot of money but recently

failed to raise more money at a $4

billion valuation and they're spending

money like crazy in addition it's

founder and CEO recently announced plans

to step down and said you're not going

to beat centralized AI with more

centralized AI this is the same guy that

said in 5 years there will be no

programmers left the unfortunate reality

is that you need billions of dollars in

cash to burn through to train these

large Foundation models a stability AI

is not like Microsoft where they rake in

billions of dollars every month selling

a subpar operating system and if it

doesn't come up with a way to generate a

lot more Revenue fast it could fail my

only hope is that they release stable

diffusion 3 before that happens before

we go any further though I want to tell

you about an amazing tool that every

programmer should know about called

codium the sponsor of today's video by

now you've probably heard of GitHub

co-pilot but what if there is a better

alternative with all the same features

that was completely free for individual

developers it sounds too good to be true

but if you don't believe me install it

on any editor right now then hit control

I you now have the ability to write code

with AI using a model that's trained on

permissive data it can easily refactor

and explain existing code but most

importantly it understands context it'll

automatically take into account the

context of open files and the current

git repo but this context can also be

customized you can choose other files

directories and repos to guide the AI to

the proper code style and apis for your

project and it's just Flatout fun to use

use codium for free forever with no

strings attached using the link right

here but now let's get back to failures

like Google search AI this weekend I was

making a pizza but the cheese was

falling off so I went to Google to see

what I could do about this Gemini in its

Infinite Wisdom it told me to go ahead

and add an eighth of a cup of non-toxic

glue to the sauce to give it more

tackiness and I had to learn the hard

way that this is not a great idea if

you're concerned about diarrhea also

don't ask Google AI about depression or

homicidal feelings just trust me on that

one but luckily I have a little secret

to let you in on if you go to Google

Search and then add this URL parameter

of udm 14 you can go back to the old

Google search before it Panic

implemented AI everywhere it's just pure

Google search where your only worry is

being bombarded by advertisements

speaking of ads the world's most

notorious data Harvester of meta is also

a front runner in the AI race they've

given us some great open models like

llama however in order to train these

models they need a lot of data and they

want to use Facebook and Instagram user

data to do that now most people don't

want their personal information devoured

by AI so in true metaform they create a

policy that collects your data for AI by

default then provide a convoluted way to

opt out of it you have to find and fill

out this form which requires a written

explanation then request a onetime

password to finally submit it they want

to cover their asses legally but also

really don't want you to opt out and a

100% guarantee there will be a useless

Senate hearing about this in the next

couple years but our next major failure

is a two for one including the Humane

pin and and the rabbit R1 the Humane pin

which was famously obliterated by Marcus

brownley spent 6 years developing this

thing in stealth mode while raising 230

million and now they're trying to find a

sucker to buy this company for a billion

dollars the rabbit R1 is a similar

useless product which I criticized a few

months ago because you can do the exact

same thing with an app on your phone but

I had no idea how deep this scam

actually goes I don't want to give away

the details so check out coffee zilla's

video on that it's built on a scam and

finally that brings us to number five

GPT 5 open AI recently announced that

they're now training GPT 5 a New

Frontier Model that will quote bring us

to the next level of capabilities on our

path to AGI and that statement is

extremely disappointing because if you

read between the lines it means that AGI

has not been achieved internally like

everyone was speculating a few months

ago when Sam Alman was fired this week

one of the former board members spoke

out about why Sam Alman was fired and it

had nothing to do with AGI taking over

Humanity apparently Sam ultman was

outright lying to the board why ly and

as of this week he's now the head head

of open ai's new 9-person Safety

Committee but it makes you wonder if all

this pontificating about AI safety is

actually just a lie if fear keeps the

hype train going and opens the door to

things like regulatory capture and

ultimately more money artificial

intelligence is no doubt a useful tool

but the greatest trick linear algebra

ever pulled was making humans think that

large language models are actually

intelligent this has been the code

report thanks for watching and I will

see you in the next one
