2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.

You're going to be happy about its application in biochemisty, genetics and astronomy. The volumes of data needing analysis are staggering, they're just the perfect tasks for a robot brain.
Different than LLM. It's other machine learning that are just using the AI label now to join the hype train. Not you same as what openAI and other AI companies are selling
But... isn't it the other way around? LLMs are just one type of AI and they used the overall term AI to hype their products because it sounds better.
Kind of. AI is now the catch all now but that's because LLM were called generative AI. So the older terms all followed suit to catch the hype train. But most of the problems with AI are LLM specifics.

Generative AI is a specific subset of Deep Learning, which is a subset of Machine Learning, which is a subset of AI. Generative AI includes more than just LLMs. It also includes the image and video AI creations. There are also GenAI than makes music.
Machine Learning is typically creating versions of things that existed prior, or recreating things from behavior extracted from prior data. Deep Learning is similar but employs neural networks of various types. The distinction between GenAI and Deep Learning is that GenAI creates something that never existed before, essentially original works.
Your base point in this conversation stands though. The Deep Learning used in science for analyzing patterns or behavior in, say, biology, is very different (and its more useful) than GenAI and the slop it can produce.
The chart is good and all but I've been a data scientist now for almost 10 years. Most of these terms have changed more then once. There are mostly marketing terms. I've done deep learning, machine learning, data mining (my favorite term), statistical learning, predictive analysis and now AI while using mostly the same things.
ML has existed for a while, it has been in phone camera software for 7+ years now, for example. The way everything keeps getting lumped in this "AI" buzzword is hilarious.
It existed for more then 7 decades actually.

Yeah, Turing had papers on machine learning at the same time he was establishing other basic concepts of computer science.
Its an imperfect solution to an otherwise difficult task. I don't know if anyone in science should be happy to use it since its results aren't generally reproducible (a problem that already existed in biochemistry and genetics) but I could see it as being helpful at narrowing down datasets too large for people to handle.
I think with this epstein stuff too if the code and training data is not open there's always a possibility AI has been set to filter something (such as Trump's name).
Kinda looks like it's a data set from the scrubbed files with no mention of the president's name. I've seen his name in formerly released Epstein files so I know it should be there. There was a contact page with about 20 trump phone numbers and his email address released in the past along with other files.
Wasn't Trump's name coded as something like Defendant A or something along those lines so it doesn't simply show by Ctrl-F?
174, I believe John doe? I can't remember but it was something 174
Data Hoarder doing the lord's work.
People gonna get disappeared for this.
