Kalanick hvali AI alate
Travis Kalanick, suosnivač Ubera, otvoreno je govorio o svom entuzijazmu prema chatbotaima kao što su ChatGPT i Grok i tvrdio da mu oni pomažu da dospije „do ruba poznatog“ u kvantnoj fizici. Kalanick je opisao kako eksperimentiše sa modelima i vjeruje da se može blizu pravih otkrića u fizici.
"I'll go down this thread with GPT or Grok and I'll start to get to the edge of what's known in quantum physics and then I'm doing the equivalent of vibe coding, except it's vibe physics," Kalanick said. "And we're approaching what's known," he enthused. "And I'm trying to poke and see if there's breakthroughs to be had. And I've gotten pretty damn close to some interesting breakthroughs just doing that."
Kontroverze i skepticizam
Kalanick posebno hvali Grok, uprkos nedavnim problemima sa tim modelom. On se pita šta bi mogli postići ozbiljni naučnici, doktorandi i postdoktoranti ako koriste te AI alate u istraživanju. "I pinged Elon on at some point. I'm just like, dude, if I'm doing this and I'm super amateur hour physics enthusiast," Kalanick said, "what about all those PhD students and postdocs that are super legit using this tool?"
"Grok 4 could be this place where breakthroughs are actually happening!" Kalanick said. "New breakthroughs!" Ipak, mnogi stručnjaci upozoravaju da LLM modeli često izmišljaju činjenice i da njihova ograničenja otežavaju pouzdana naučna otkrića.
Kalanick priznaje nedostatke pa kaže da su modeli previše vezani za poznato i da je potrebno provjeravanje, ali smatra da istrajnim promptovanjem i većom računarskom snagom AI može ubrzati naučna otkrića. "If you have an LLM or foundational model of some kind that is the best in the world at the scientific method? Game the eff over," Kalanick said. "You just light up more GPUs and you just got like a thousand more PhD students working for you."
