Possible consequences of current developments

  1. Does anyone else feel like there’s an entire workforce out there being led astray with unrealistic expectations of what an ML career offers and expects?

    • Benefits:

      • Realistic expectations: By addressing the issue of unrealistic expectations, individuals entering the ML field can have a clearer understanding of what to expect in a career in machine learning. This can lead to better career decisions and job satisfaction.
      • Improved skill development: With a better understanding of what an ML career entails, individuals can focus on developing the necessary skills and knowledge required for success in the field. This can lead to more targeted learning efforts and improved expertise.
      • Reduced turnover: Unrealistic expectations can contribute to high turnover rates in the ML workforce. By addressing this issue, organizations can work towards reducing turnover and retaining skilled professionals.

    • Ramifications:

      • Disillusionment: Individuals who have unrealistic expectations of an ML career may become disillusioned when they realize the reality is different from what they expected. This can lead to frustration, dissatisfaction, and potential career changes.
      • Skill gaps: If individuals are not aware of the true demands and expectations of an ML career, they may not focus on developing the necessary skills. This can lead to skill gaps and reduced effectiveness in the field.
      • Mismatched job-market supply and demand: If the ML workforce is driven by unrealistic expectations, there may be an oversupply of professionals in certain areas and a shortage in others. This can result in inefficiencies and disparities in the job market.

  2. For music generation, we need to focus on MIDI more than other formats.

    • Benefits:

      • Standardization: MIDI is a widely accepted standard for representing music, making it easier to work with and exchange musical data between different software and hardware platforms.
      • Flexibility: MIDI allows for precise control and manipulation of musical elements such as notes, rhythms, and tempos. This enables greater flexibility in music generation and composition.
      • Versatility: MIDI can be used to represent various genres and styles of music, allowing for a wide range of creative possibilities in music generation.

    • Ramifications:

      • Limitations in sound quality: MIDI does not directly represent audio samples, but rather instructions for synthesizers and other software/hardware devices to produce sound. As a result, the output generated from MIDI may not have the same richness and fidelity as recordings of actual instruments.
      • Loss of expressive nuances: While MIDI can capture the basic musical elements, it may not capture the full range of expressive nuances that can be achieved through human performance or high-quality audio recordings. This can result in a loss of emotional depth and realism in the generated music.
      • Overreliance on MIDI templates: Focusing too much on MIDI may lead to an overreliance on pre-existing templates and patterns, potentially limiting the exploration of new musical ideas and creativity.

GPT predicts future events

  • Artificial general intelligence (2035): I predict that artificial general intelligence, which refers to highly autonomous systems that can outperform humans at most economically valuable work, will be achieved by 2035. With advancements in machine learning, deep learning, and neural networks, we are continuously progressing towards AGI. Furthermore, the steady growth of computational power, combined with the exponential increase in data, will further fuel the development of AGI.
  • Technological singularity (2045): I predict that the technological singularity, a hypothetical point in the future when technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, will occur around 2045. This estimate is based on the observations that technological advancements are accelerating, and the development of AGI will likely act as a catalyst for the singularity. Once AGI is achieved, it can potentially facilitate rapid advancements in various fields, leading to the singularity.
