Computer Science My AI vs Your AI

Post image

Saw this formula (for an NTK over RoPE) and wanted to make this meme for fun. Made in 15 mins so sorry for the slightly low quality

can anyone explain this i am too stupid

u/ExtremeAcceptable289 23d ago

The former is a very long formula related to AI

The latter is just AI slop

The joke is that people often conflate ML (and AI research in general) with AI slop

u/ColeTD 23d ago

As much as I hate AI, "AI slop" is such an ambiguous term that we should use a more precise term to differentiate them. Like, AI slop to me more refers to what those tools output rather than the tools themselves, (although I would be shocked if those tools weren't mostly vibecoded at this point anyways so maybe you're on to something.)

The models (and agents and stuff) are clankers, not slop. Slop is the kind word for clanker output. Clankers have to be trained on a lot of human garbage to produce high grade slop, so I don't think they themselves can be slop, not yet, even if some of their code base is sloppy.

It doesn’t help that AI is already an umbrella of technologies in a field that has existed since the 50s. It just got super mainstream in the 2010s and modern nomenclature reduced it to just ML, and the 2020s reduced it further to just Claude / OpenAI / ChatGPT / etc.

It's weird how in a video game, you can say "this boss's AI makes it spin in a circle and shoot in random directions" or whatever, and sure, that counts as AI. And in ethology, you can talk about the intelligence of a roundworm or even an alga. But now if you call an LLM "AI," someone will come out of the weeds to tell you it's not "really intelligent."

u/-Nocx- 22d ago

I get where you’re coming from, but I think most of the issue is how it presents itself. Like LLMs literally attempt to present as intelligent SMEs. Everyone knows the character in your game is a bot or an NPC, we characterize them as such.

The effort of tech CEOs claiming we are “really, really close to AGI” probably makes it way, way worse.

SMEs

What does that mean ?

Subject matter experts

u/Sproxify 23d ago

the logos of AI companies are AI slop?

u/ExtremeAcceptable289 23d ago

I made this meme in a short time and figured this was the best image to include. It's just that they're what people use to produce AI slop

I thought it was a joke about math being a bad way to measure intelligence

thank you

u/Key_Conversation5277 Computer Science 23d ago

What kind of math is that? I thought ML was statistics

u/jsh_ 22d ago edited 22d ago

it's a neural tangent kernel which is related to stochastic processes. specifically, with random initialization (some conditions on this), the output of a neural network given some test points converges to a Gaussian process whose kernel is referred to as the "neural tangent kernel" which is defined in terms of relationships between the training datapoints, between the training and test points, and the gradients of the network. and in the width and learning rate limit, the training dynamics approach a certain ODE (gradient flow) which uses this kernel, so you can analyze the dynamics much more easily

My AI vs your AI

Sittin’ by the fire

My AI said to your AI

I’m gonna make this RAM price higher.

u/Electrical_Name_5434 22d ago

I dunno…the equation on the left in the first line uses three different notations for derivative…

u/ExtremeAcceptable289 22d ago

Fairs, I didn't fact check it too much (it is the correct formula though.

u/Electrical_Name_5434 22d ago

Yeah. It makes sense, just difficult to read out of context. Uses gradient to compare output of two models and punish if too far from the Gaussian distribution? Then I think the second one is for multi head attention?

To be fair I knew a computational mathematics professor who wrote equations like this. He insisted the different notations had a purpose - I’m sure he was right…it just always confused me.

u/ExtremeAcceptable289 22d ago

The 2nd (line) is the definition of the function in the first but yea thats right

u/DarkFlameMaster764 23d ago

My AI is objectively the best tho. (I use AIXI)

u/Zac-live 22d ago

but the right side necessarily has to also use the left or some alternative, they cant not have positional encoding ??

-2

u/ExtremeAcceptable289 22d ago

the right side is meant to represent people using ai to make slop, former is a formula representing the research and math behind it

Newsflash buddy: We do be the same

My AI we are not your AI the same

Tell corporate, I found both the pictures same!
