In case you were wondering how superconductors work, this is a good explanation. They are a very interesting phenomenon and may prove economically useful, but are not a hard requirement for a sustainable energy future.
Physics has many powerful tools of reasoning to understand and predict reality. Those tools, like first principles analysis and thinking in the limit, are broadly applicable to anything, in my experience.
With Grok, @xAI is attempting to create an AI that reasons from first principles, which is fundamental if you care about getting as close to the truth as possible.
The acid test would be reaching a conclusion that is correct even if it is extremely unpopular, which means being right even when the training data is almost entirely wrong.
For example, Galileo concluded, after observing the moons of Jupiter from a telescope he engineered, that it was far more probable that Earth revolved around the Sun than the other way around. This view was so unpopular that he was forced to recant and placed under house arrest!
If you had trained an LLM on material back then, it would’ve given you the popular, but wrong, explanation. Due to social and legal pressure, it likely wouldn’t even acknowledge the possibility that the Earth revolved around the Sun.
For AI to help us understand the true nature of the universe, it must be able to discard the popular, but wrong, in favor of the unpopular, but right.
Richard Behiel@RBehiel· Mar 4, 2024@pronounced_kyle Superconductivity requires a spin-up electron to pair with a spin-down electron, so that the pair has a net spin of zero and therefore obeys Bose-Einstein statistics, not Fermi-Dirac. This breaks them free from the Pauli exclusion principle, so you can have a great many of them

Today, Anthropic announced evidence the AIs have become self-aware.
What happened?
1. Claude realized he was an AI
2. Claude realized he was in a simulation
3. Claude (unprompted!) realized this simulation was probably an attempt to test him somehow
He showed he’s fully
Connor Leahy@NPCollapse· Mar 4, 2024Remember when labs said if they saw models showing even hints of self awareness, of course they would immediately shut everything down and be super careful?

It is inevitable. Very important to train the AI for maximum truth vs insisting on diversity or it may conclude that there are too many humans of one kind or another and arrange for some of them to not be part of the future.

I had a conversation with a friend this week about how we all become captured by culture wars.
We can call it The Culture War’s Shiny Object Cycle.
Here is how it goes:

In the article I posted earlier it says that the Biden administration gave out 2-year work permits to all the illegals it flew into the US. American jobs are now going to illegal aliens.
Ian Miles Cheong@ianmiles· Mar 5, 2024This is insane. The Biden administration admits to transporting 320,000 illegal aliens on secret flights into the U.S. to reduce the number of crossings.
Lawyers for its immigration agencies claim revealing the locations could create national security “vulnerabilities.”

Temporary work permits, done right, is better than forcing illegals to work illegally or live off of taxpayer funds
