Megyn Kelly Blames Dems for Elon Musk’s Reported White House Exit, Says It’s ‘Sad’ He’s Not Embraced Like Einstein or Edison

Megyn Kelly is disappointed by speculation that Elon Musk’s role in the Trump White House may be coming to an end.

On Wednesday’s episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, she criticized reports from Politico and ABC suggesting that Musk—and his work with DOGE—might not be around much longer, calling the news “sad.” She also expressed surprise that Democrats would celebrate the development.

“I think it’s sad,” Kelly remarked. “Imagine living in the time of Albert Einstein or Thomas Edison, and having them offer to help solve national problems, only to be rejected out of hatred. That’s what the left is doing—saying, ‘We don’t need your brain to help us solve problems.’”

From Recurrent Networks to GPT-4: Measuring Algorithmic Progress in Language Models - Technology Org

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/from-recurrent-networks-to-gpt-4-measuring-algorithmic-progress-in-language-models-technology-org/

From Recurrent Networks to GPT-4: Measuring Algorithmic Progress in Language Models - Technology Org

In 2012, the best language models were small recurrent networks that struggled to form coherent sentences. Fast forward to today, and large language models like GPT-4 outperform most students on the SAT. How has this rapid progress been possible? 

Image credit: MIT CSAIL

In a new paper, researchers from Epoch, MIT FutureTech, and Northeastern University set out to shed light on this question. Their research breaks down the drivers of progress in language models into two factors: scaling up the amount of compute used to train language models, and algorithmic innovations. In doing so, they perform the most extensive analysis of algorithmic progress in language models to date.

Their findings show that due to algorithmic improvements, the compute required to train a language model to a certain level of performance has been halving roughly every 8 months. “This result is crucial for understanding both historical and future progress in language models,” says Anson Ho, one of the two lead authors of the paper. “While scaling compute has been crucial, it’s only part of the puzzle. To get the full picture you need to consider algorithmic progress as well.”

The paper’s methodology is inspired by “neural scaling laws”: mathematical relationships that predict language model performance given certain quantities of compute, training data, or language model parameters. By compiling a dataset of over 200 language models since 2012, the authors fit a modified neural scaling law that accounts for algorithmic improvements over time. 

Based on this fitted model, the authors do a performance attribution analysis, finding that scaling compute has been more important than algorithmic innovations for improved performance in language modeling. In fact, they find that the relative importance of algorithmic improvements has decreased over time. “This doesn’t necessarily imply that algorithmic innovations have been slowing down,” says Tamay Besiroglu, who also co-led the paper.

“Our preferred explanation is that algorithmic progress has remained at a roughly constant rate, but compute has been scaled up substantially, making the former seem relatively less important.” The authors’ calculations support this framing, where they find an acceleration in compute growth, but no evidence of a speedup or slowdown in algorithmic improvements.

By modifying the model slightly, they also quantified the significance of a key innovation in the history of machine learning: the Transformer, which has become the dominant language model architecture since its introduction in 2017. The authors find that the efficiency gains offered by the Transformer correspond to almost two years of algorithmic progress in the field, underscoring the significance of its invention.

While extensive, the study has several limitations. “One recurring issue we had was the lack of quality data, which can make the model hard to fit,” says Ho. “Our approach also doesn’t measure algorithmic progress on downstream tasks like coding and math problems, which language models can be tuned to perform.”

Despite these shortcomings, their work is a major step forward in understanding the drivers of progress in AI. Their results help shed light about how future developments in AI might play out, with important implications for AI policy. “This work, led by Anson and Tamay, has important implications for the democratization of AI,” said Neil Thompson, a coauthor and Director of MIT FutureTech. “These efficiency improvements mean that each year levels of AI performance that were out of reach become accessible to more users.”

“LLMs have been improving at a breakneck pace in recent years. This paper presents the most thorough analysis to date of the relative contributions of hardware and algorithmic innovations to the progress in LLM performance,” says Open Philanthropy Research Fellow Lukas Finnveden, who was not involved in the paper.

“This is a question that I care about a great deal, since it directly informs what pace of further progress we should expect in the future, which will help society prepare for these advancements. The authors fit a number of statistical models to a large dataset of historical LLM evaluations and use extensive cross-validation to select a model with strong predictive performance. They also provide a good sense of how the results would vary under different reasonable assumptions, by doing many robustness checks. Overall, the results suggest that increases in compute have been and will keep being responsible for the majority of LLM progress as long as compute budgets keep rising by ≥4x per year. However, algorithmic progress is significant and could make up the majority of progress if the pace of increasing investments slows down.”

"South African entrepreneur Phumla Makhoba is on a mission to solve the “global south housing crisis.” And she’s doing it by using clothing waste.

Her invention, Texiboard, is a material that combines fibers found in textile waste with lime cement to create a durable, affordable, and circular building material.

The result is a textured, white square, almost tile-like, that is created with recycled materials — not emission-generating wood or concrete.

“It can be used to make furniture, flooring, walls, or even your entire home,” Makhoba said in a video for social media account We Got Earth.

The first iterations of the Texiboard included colorful cotton threads that were compressed together, with multiple attempts to remove cracks and seams and perfect the ratios of size, shape, and material mass.

With her design firm, Studio People, Makhoba has been working since 2022 to perfect the TexiBoard. 

Makhoba has since created a solid panel, with shredded textile fiber and natural lime cement fully cured. Finally, it can be formed into a full sheet of building material.

Once realized, the Texiboard will confront the estimated 92 million tons of clothing waste generated around the globe each year. But it will also provide safe and stable housing that Makhoba says only 20% of South Africans can afford.

“Growing up, I saw two worlds: one with polished buildings, and one built from scrap,” she said in a video. “I always wondered, why do some people get homes that last and others get homes that leak?”

Now, the Texiboard design is available as an open-source resource, and Makhoba and her team host in-person workshops for locals living in shacks to learn how to build their own supportive and sustainable housing.

“Just having a roof isn’t enough,” Makhoba said. “A real home should protect you from the weather, work for your daily life, and not fall apart in five years.”

Her approach includes a full theory of change. Right now, Studio People is in the input process, building partnerships and funding to scale their operation. From there, they hope to develop a fully sustainable supply chain to manufacture and sell Texiboards and help build affordable housing for people in need.

Once that dream is realized, Makhoba outlines the tangible output of this work: Economically inclusive waste management, circular building materials, green jobs, and a sustainable housing and manufacturing market.

“Informal settlements can be transformed when we all work together,” she shares on the Studio People website. “Texiboard is the seed of innovation that will create updated trade jobs in the innovative building industry.”

Although the Texiboard is still being completely perfected, the goal is to provide a weather-proof, cost-effective, and circular way to house people by democratizing the act of building.

“Our goal is to create an egalitarian and sustainable urban environment, helping shack dwellers and youth out of poverty,” Studio People shared on LinkedIn.

“We empower the underdog, including people and businesses, to co-create solutions in our fight against the housing crisis, unsustainable building materials, and unemployment — one board at a time.”"

However, there are also some potential concerns about the use of AI to create music. One concern is that it could lead to copyright infringement. If creators are able to use the voices of famous artists without their permission, it could violate the artists' intellectual property rights.

Another concern is that it could be used to create deepfakes, which are videos or audio recordings that have been manipulated to make it appear as if someone is saying or doing something that they never actually said or did. Deepfakes can be used for malicious purposes, such as spreading misinformation or damaging someone's reputation.

Here are some additional thoughts on the potential impact of this new tool:

It could democratize music creation. By making it easier for anyone to create music with the voices of famous artists, the tool could open up new opportunities for aspiring musicians and creators.

It could lead to new and innovative forms of music. The tool could be used to create new genres of music that would not be possible without AI. For example, creators could combine the voices of different artists to create unique and unexpected soundscapes.

It could change the way that music is consumed. The tool could make it easier for people to create their own personalized music experiences. For example, people could use the tool to create custom playlists of their favorite songs with their favorite artists singing them.

Overall, the development of this new tool is a significant event that can potentially change the music industry and how content is created on YouTube. It is important to monitor the development of the tool and to ensure that it is used in a responsible and ethical way.
