>To assess the effectiveness of these new coatings, the research team conducted a series of experiments on building models exposed to direct sunlight for four hours. The results were striking: the roofs covered with the AI-designed paint exhibited temperatures 10 to 36 degrees Fahrenheit lower than those treated with standard white or gray paints.

If AI can do that to buildings, then where is the phonefag equivalent so I don't have to use a peltier cooler anymore?

cooling paint has already been invented before llms though

GPT-5 literally gave me a career. I just asked if for song lyrics and Midjourney prompts, plugged them into Suno and Midjourney, and put together music videos for Tiktok and YouTube Shorts. Literally free money.

>aicultists = opinion automatically retarded
by definition ai could be a program with a single "if" statement.
folding proteins and shit is dealt with ai.
we have ai assisted engineering

and its completely orthogonal to the chatbots being a fucking bubble
chatbots are a different class of ai

even your fucken priest in chief said its a bubble
you are an ai cultist. whoever said its a good idea to share your thoughts on a tech forum is not your friend
you should be posting on /lit/
>>
>>106767031
Ah, yes. White paint.
>>
>>106767393
no, its possible that an ai does improve on things
a program that would bruteforce all possible compounds and select those with the best characteristics, is also an ai
its not a chatbot. it doesnt even need ML in absolute
and it still is an ai.
think npc ai in games.
yes, its absolutely correct to call the code that deal with npc actions in a game- ai.
its an umbrella term

>its an umbrella term
one that designates decisionmaking mechanisms.
like i said, in absolute, a program with a single if statement could be called an ai
>>
>>106767409
It's also possible that people were already aware of this, but it was too costly to do on scale so no one bothered.
>>
It would be hilarious if this paint just had more texture and thus scattered IR more and they were using IR thermometers to check the temperature.
>>
>>106767439
you mean- as in: information floating around and it took a chatbot to cross reference it with the task?
'would make sense too
in that case the title would be misleading.
but when is a clickbait title correct, esp when it feeds into a narrative on which relies the valuation of a whole industry
>>
>>106767439
lo and behold
they used an llm to emit labels
and then bruteforced the compounds
wow. such agi. very intelligent, pls buy saar

>>106767031
Wow, the AI can read expired patents? I'm pretty sure it's just clear paint with commercially easily available microspheres ...

https://patents.google.com/patent/US7503971B2/en

It's only really relevant to buildings with really shit insulation BTW.
>>
>>106767477 cont
dont get me wrong
its pretty based
but as you see i had pretty much the exact same idea and i came up with it in 15 seconds
its hardly something revolutionary, its just a rational application of the technology

llms are a correlation machine. basically a search engine
thats how they were used. and they got results
wow. who would have thought. doing whats written on the tin yields the expected results...
>>
>>106767453
Clear sky is transparent in a particular IR window, so if the paint is emissive/absorbing in the IR window and reflective/non-absorbing everywhere else, it cools down.

Some Australians were the first to do it commercially, then it got reinvented poorly every couple years afterward.
>>
>>106767761
i can still use fiat money to purchase things even if it is "fake", whilst ai does nothing useful for me
>>
>>106767409
I don't know if there's any good definition of AI. Most people don't know how it works anyway, but on /g/ people seem to only call NNs AI, even something like decision forests don't count as AI here.
Personally I don't care much, I just look at what a program can do.
>>
>>106767931
thats the tourists/and or marketingroids
/g/entoomen dont talk about ai very much, because we had 3 years to talk about it already and pretty much everything that could be discussed, was
actual gentoomen, anti facebook/reddit, anti consumerism, linux users, tinkerers par excellence are a minority on this board
ai coomer retards who repeat what they saw on xitter&co are tourists from /trash/.
/v/ermin also likes to post here. and for some reason /a/ thinks they can post their brainrot everywhere although we managed to somewhat reign in the latter
>>
>>106767931
and definitions are kinda important because, well, thats how we communicate.
words evoke concepts thanks to definitions, concepts put toegether create ideas
remove definitions, and all we do is generate noise
>>
>>106767031
seems nice, but can we have numbers in real unit ? horse blood pressure when its nearly dead isn't great

>>106768733
I've been somewhat influenced by Wittgenstein when it comes to this, although I'm not sure if he was 100% correct.
If we want definitions, then it seems to me we just need the *same* definitions for effective communication, we don't have to argue which one is correct.
In the context of my uni AI just meant an algorithm that was learning on data and we were able to communicate effectively. But others only want to call programs that think in similar ways as humans AI, or they even think the program needs to be conscious.
I'm not a Platonist, I don't think there's a Platonic Form of AI.
In practical terms, I wouldn't be more or less inclined to pay for ChatGPT if somehow it was true AI, or if it wasn't. I just care if it helps me achieve my goals at work and how much it costs.
But I also think others are more influenced by Platonic thinking, even if they don't know what Platonism is, in that case those words have more power over them. Calling something AI will make it sell better among the general population, I think.
>>
>>106767031
May i see it?
>>
>>106768868
>common definitions
completely agree
thats why i stick with the nasa/usgov definition of ai because thats the definition that was always used everywhere since years
like with npc ai in games. obviously these arent NNs, or even MLs

and the new definitions came in as horseshit marketing ploys like with picrel, to imply it runs ML or something, kek
theyre deliberately muddying boundaries to create a perception of complexity where there is none, to justify a hike in prices
like in picrel. bullshit fuckstick vacuum cleaner at the price of a cheap second hand car because the name evokes chat gpt
its how marketing works. creating perceptions
>>
>>106768842
if these people were alive for the dot com bubble they would be saying the internet was going to disappear forever, writing paragraphs about how internet infrastructure is just too expensive and that it's all one giant bubble with no real usecase

It's very weird because AI is scaling with hardware.
The new datacenters are much better than previous ones.
On the other hand
Have we hit the limit of LLM potential?
How can you make it monetisable?
Has open sourced AI models wrecked the potential profitability?
We are going through agentic subpeak of AI at the moment.
And this will determine if people will continue to have jobs.
Unlike the chatbot or image gen peaks of the past.

okay
now let's compare that to putting awnings outside your windows
>>
LMAO, just saw the article

Okay for retards who don't own homes, this is called shingles. We've had this since forever in the west, some "researcher" in China just found out that leaving the tops of roofs that are flat painted black or grey without anything to increase surface area or reflect sunlight drops the temperature.

tl;dr
This only works on flat buildings with no tile/shingling
AI essentially applied a heatsink on the building to cool the concrete
This increases the surface area able to transfer heat exponentially while reflecting light away
Chang goes WHOA WAIT HEATSINK DISSIPATES HEAT?

All it did was make it into a paint, which a lot of buildings do specifically in Arizona before they started putting solar roofing on.
>>
>>106767409
This is like a comment straight off of HN. Holy shit the saar and good morning memes are real.
>>
I'm a civil engineer and would like to say that roofs get insanely hot anyways and a 36 F drop in temp is not enough for an air conditioner to become redundant. Also the way roofs are built is so that there is an air current under the tiling to make sure that that insanely hot roof tiles do not heat the rest of the building.

Then there's the problem of sun exposure over long term, which tends to destroy most materials, I wonder if this paint stands up to that.

>>106767031
There's a bunch of youtubers I've seen researching and prototyping all kinds of cutting edge shit, including revolutionary coatings like this.
It's quite a stretch to say an AI designed it and didn't just steal it from real people that already did the leg work, which would essentially make it just a search engine good at finding obscure knowledge that was already out there somewhere.
>>
>>106776231
>Also the way roofs are built is so that there is an air current under the tiling to make sure that that insanely
Or you could just use insulation and not have birds nest and fire risk.

These kinds of paint are for non-insulated commercial building though. The roof is just steel with a coating.

What's that in non-retarded human units?
