Don’t sell AI short; it can do some pretty amazing things. From el gato malo at boriquagato.substack.com:
are we having another “alpha go moment”?
forecasting weather is notoriously difficult. it’s the realm of hours and days long calculations on powerful supercomputers. and it’s still not really that great. runs of climate models take many thousands of processor hours. some of these projects get allocated in millions of node hours.
but might that be about to change?
because this could be a VERY big deal and really underlines just what a game changer AI/machine learning can be.
Artificial-intelligence (AI) firm Google DeepMind has turned its hand to the intensive science of weather forecasting — and developed a machine-learning model that outperforms the best conventional tools as well as other AI approaches at the task.
The model, called GraphCast, can run from a desktop computer and makes more accurate predictions than conventional models in minutes rather than hours.
this has a level of outlandish potential that’s hard to even wrap your head around at first. and the speed is just a part of it.
Love this article and love “El Gato Malo!” Not surprised “the cat” and “Doomberg” are “pals!”
Reading the article to which the LINK takes you, its conclusion speaks to the caution of potential “bias.” Ha, Ha!
Can you not imagine the capability of making detailed weather predictions and then, almost in real time measuring the actual weather against said predictions?
It should provide humanity with unprecedented insight into the political pathology surrounding alleged “scientific” Climatosis!
Whatever AI tools have been created and imbued with “bias” on behalf of whatever biased nonsense, will easily become exposed as such by those AI tools not-so imbued!
Not only FREE SPEECH, but FREE AI!
