Patterns that Connect: AI, Management, Metaverse, Quantum, Philosophy, and Physics

  Ah, science! The grand, unrelenting march toward understanding the cosmos. It’s the epitome of rationality, the realm of test tubes, telescopes, and truths carved into equations. Yet, for all its brilliance, science seems strangely tongue-tied when it comes to one of humanity’s oldest and most perplexing questions:  What does it mean to live a good life? If you’ve ever flipped through a physics textbook searching for a chapter on  why  you should be kind to your neighbor, let me save you the suspense — you won’t find it. Science, by its very nature, is descriptive, not prescriptive. It tells us  what is  but doesn’t venture into the treacherous waters of  what ought to be . The laws of thermodynamics don’t care if you’re a benevolent saint or an unrepentant scoundrel. And quantum mechanics? It’s too busy calculating probabilities to weigh in on whether lying is morally reprehensible. The Insignificance Problem Worse yet, science has a knack for remin...

  Traditional ML and the Rise of Large Language Models Today, as I leave SuperComputing 2024, I find ourselves at a fascinating juncture. Traditional machine learning (ML), the backbone of early AI breakthroughs, stands alongside Large Language Models (LLMs), which are undeniably the glittering stars of today’s AI landscape. But while LLMs dazzle us with their ability to generate poetry, write code, and mimic human conversation, traditional ML has quietly remained a workhorse, excelling in areas where flashiness isn’t the goal but precision and efficiency are. The coexistence of these paradigms raises an intriguing question: where does traditional ML shine in the LLM era, and what does the future hold for these trusty algorithms? Traditional ML encompasses a gamut of algorithms, from linear regression to decision trees, support vector machines (SVMs), and clustering methods like k-means. These models are optimized for structured data, often working wonders in scenarios where relati...
