If AI was going to advance exponentially I'd have expected it to take off by now.

    Lol. You’re so off base. DATA defines the curve. If the DATA does not exhibit exponential behavior it is not exponential. Simple as that.

      Buddy, I can say with confidence I’ve taken math courses you’ve never even heard of. You do not know what you’re talking about.

        Ooh you took a math class. When are they delivering your Nobel prize?

          You don’t get Nobel prizes for going to math class. What you do get is a basic understanding of math, which is more than sufficient to correct you on this. This was covered in Algebra, man. Review your notes.

            What was covered? That functions are used to describe data sets?

              In algebra? The basic properties of exponential functions, for one.

                Let’s start there then. What are the basic properties of exponential functions?

                  They grow proportionately to ax^n . Correspondingly, for values of x < 1, they look very similar to a simple linear slope. For values of x > 1, they grow very rapidly. Both portions are part of the function, it doesn’t suddenly “become” exponential at the rapid increase, it’s exponential the whole time.

                    Well there it is

                    it doesn’t suddenly “become” exponential at the rapid increase, it’s exponential the whole time.

                    What type of growth would you use to describe the advancement of AI?

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
