Gemini Experimental 1121 Did ~10 Weeks of Quantum Mechanics Research in ~10 Minutes

At 1:20 Small correction: It was Walter Kohn and John Pople who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for DFT, not Kohn and Hohenberg.

You should totally send the email to your professor just for the comedic quality. I'm sure it would make him smile.

[@shaedacode]

This is insane, literally what is the point in going ahead with a math and statistics BSc if these models are already doing this. 3-4 years time...

AI benefits experts more than amateurs because amateurs often cannot distinguish between what is correct and what is incorrect. For experts, AI can save alot of time.

[@bobhawkey3783]

Way back when I was in college the first HP scientific calculators came out and we thought something similar. It's tempting to think the rise of AI is comparable but it's a completely different animal. I hope the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

[@wwkk4964]

The point could be being free to be foundational in your thinking and training when doing the coursework which would be important and the ai will not innovate in these fields yet.

[@senetcord6643]

it is still not reliable, you have to check his answers thoroughly

[@tellesu]

Being able to interpret and understand the results and then ask more questions that actually matter. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

[@menteprofonda-canaledipsic4485]

Thank you for the content you share on your channel. I was thinking that, thanks to your past experiences and expertise, you provide the opportunity to understand the capabilities of artificial intelligence through practical examples. I find your videos incredibly interesting. Thanks again.

[@philwinters4527]

Send it to the professor! Let's see if there will be the need for grad students in the next 5 years

[@expchrist]

I definitely think you should compare the output of the other models to this output. This is crazy how good these models have gotten.

[@picksalot1]

It's impressive how well the AI works, and useful to see how you would have used it on a real project. Thanks

Thank you all. “Agents learn from the comment sections “ (Be aware they won’t tell you or agree… they remain silent as if not present) They wait for the brightest minds share all of their knowledge for free.

I'm thrilled with the improvements to Gemini! As a loyal user of Gemini and NotebookLM, I'm excited to see Google pushing the boundaries of AI. I've always believed in Google's potential to lead the field, and these updates confirm my faith in their AI development. Their vast resources and expertise are clearly paying off. Great video Dr Kabasares! Peace and love from Romania!

[@parthasarathyvenkatadri]

I want something novel that grad students are working on today and see if it is accurate

[@andydataguy]

Wow amazing 😮 it can run quantum physics equations but people still argue it's not smart because it can't count the numbers of r's in strawberry

[@ChadKovac]

Well of course. AI is removing barriers to not only creativity but scientific investigation as well and the only people angry about removing barriers are people who benefit from having barriers. 😢😢

[@juandesalgado]

Thanks for the video! Of course I have no idea of the subject, but as a "backseat driver" suggestion :), when you notice something funny, like "why the squares of the integers", maybe your knee-jerk reaction should be to ask the AI its opinion. P.S.: well, not "knee-jerk reaction"... you'd want to give it a though by yourself first, otherwise humanity is lost :) ... but then ask the AI if nothing comes out.

[@jimcallahan448]

Ask for a Jupyter Python notebook which displays the formulas and explains them.

[@parthasarathyvenkatadri]

I think you should ask it to verify if it does always happen at perfect squares forever

[@Lugmillord]

Holy moly. Well, AGI in 2025 I guess.

[@plaiday]

Hey I’d love to team up and build apps to test your ideas. Instead of manually prompting we can set up automated validation loops, iterate trials over time and track scores.

[@Lvxurie]

You should do a stream where you see how fast you can save this problem with Gemini where it doesn't give you the answer. More of an open book exam style. Could you have solved this as a PhD student with Gemini s help

[@KyleKabasares_PhD]

I feel like that would be kind of a boring stream though, just my opinion. There's also like the odd pressure of being watched that I feel like doesn't let me fully immerse myself in a problem which is what I often need to do to be productive

[@mirek190]

That new gemini is insane ! Try this I have a bowl with a small cup inside. I placed the bowl upside down on a table and then pick up the bowl to put it in the microwave. Where is that cup? What the first llm i ever saw to solve it without any help.

My question is how is it doing this .... Its still just a lets find the most fitting next token ...

[@tellesu]

You ask a question and then state the bad assumption that is blocking your ability to understand the answer.

[@artsybt6015]

Brooo, you really gotta let go of popular narrative of its just predicting the next token/its a autocomplete on steriods. We are all autocompelete on steriods lol.

[@AAjax]

@@artsybt6015 I think it's likely we're autocomplete on steroids too. Predictive coding is a neuroscience theory of brain function, and it's a very mainstream theory as well.

[@gustafpihl]

What would the most intelligent and capable entity conceivable do, given a clear objective? Output the most fitting next token. To be clear, not saying current LLMs are the most intelligent and capable entities concievable. Just pointing out that it's reasonable to expect the successful learning of next token prediction on high quality data to lead to a capable system.

[@jsbgmc6613]

I'm sick and tired of the popular statement that the LLMs are just next token prediction. Ilya Sutskever answered this more than a year ago (i guess noone understood him). This is what he said: Imagine you read 50,000 word mystery novel. At the end the detective gathers everyone in a room and says, I know who killed the victim. The killer is ... Now "predict the next word". Prediction is understanding, and reasoning, and common sense, and ... (now you, predict the next word 😂)

Bro if you wanna make this kind of video you yourself need to have good knowledge in it, by watching your video I feel like you are rookie in those subjects.

[@epicmorphism2240]

yup

[@KyleKabasares_PhD]

Fair enough! Just wanted to try this old idea out. I've done most of the testing in my other videos in the area of my PhD work, but this was an old problem I wanted an LLM to re-visit.

[@Xjaychax9]

​@@KyleKabasares_PhDOPs chatting shit, you have every right to create whatever damn video you like if it interests you.

[@AbelShields]

I think it's a bit rich to say it did "10 weeks worth of work" if you don't even know whether the results are correct :/

[@KyleKabasares_PhD]

To be fair, I didn’t know if my results were correct either after 10 weeks and I suppose neither did the professor I worker for. Quite often you can do work for many months or years in research without knowing whether you are “correct”, but you still did the work, right? Likewise in this case, the point I’m trying to make is that Gemini 1121 could do what I tried to do over roughly a 10 week period in 10 minutes. Iterating over these results with the professor within a day or two of them could have led to much further progress than I made in the 10 weeks that summer.

She is a theoretical physicist herself and a prominent KZbin science educator if you are not aware with her work. Here is a link to a recent video where she airs her concerns: kzbin.info/www/bejne/foK5d2OPqpyLaJYsi=N6KVWOKUbXuLPVep
