    Can there be a challenge that actually does some maliciously useful compute? Like make their crawlers mine bitcoin or something.

        The saddest part is, we thought crypto was the biggest waste of energy ever and then the LLMs entered the chat.

        Bro couldn’t even bring himself to mention protein folding because that’s too socialist I guess.

          Hey dipshits:

          The number of mouth-breathers who think every fucking “AI” is a fucking LLM is too damn high.

          • Every artificial intelligence is not a deep neural network algorithm.
          • Every deep neural network algorithm is not a generative adversarial network.
          • Every generative adversarial network is not a language model.
          • Every language model is not a large language model.

          Fucking fart-sniffing twats.

          $ ./end-rant.sh

          LLMs can’t do protein folding. A specifically-trained Machine Learning model called AlphaFold did. Here’s the paper.

          Developing, training and fine tuning that model was a research effort led by two guys who got a Nobel for it. Alphafold can’t do conversation or give you hummus recipes, it knows shit about the structure of human language but can identify patterns in the domain where it has been specifically and painstakingly trained.

          It wasn’t “hey chatGPT, show me how to fold a protein” is all I’m saying and the “superhuman reasoning capabilities” of current LLMs are still falling ridiculously short of much simpler problems.

          You’re 100% right. I just grasped at the first example I could think of where the crawlers could do free work. Yours is much better. Left is best.

        I went back and added “malicious” because I knew it wasn’t useful in reality. I just wanted to express the AI crawlers doing free work. But you’re right, bitcoin sucks.

              Is it? Don’t you risk losing a rather large percentage of the value.

              Just by cars or something as they are much better at keeping their value. Also if somebody asks where did you get all this money from you can just point to the car and say, I sold that.

      Not without making real users also mine bitcoin/avoiding the site because their performance tanked.
