Why would other teams be observing floating at room temp? Is it possible to have a diamagnet that becomes a superconductor?

It’s possible there are tiny bits of superconducting stuff at room temperature which connect into bigger and bigger bits as temperature drops, until it starts working as a whole at 110K.

Maybe. Don’t quote me.

That would suggest that a very high quality sample would superconduct at room temperature.

Unless the "low quality" part is actually causing the superconductivity. Remember the multiple simulations that showed Cu replacing Pb at a less favorable site (energetically) was better for superconductivity than at a more favorable site. It's possible "high quality" samples actually have less "imperfections", which seem important for the superconductivity.

Exactly it's quite possible that 'worse' is actually 'better' and vv. I'm sure that it won't be long before that will be resolved though, this is all happening so fast that such important answers will be sought by more than one team.

Not necessarily, but possibly.

Due to how these materials behave, this likely means you can manufacture a real-deal UFO in orbit…

what? give me an effective field theory for that lol because that is not a thing

Of course I can't but https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-06707-y maybe

I haven’t been this excited since the EmDrive

Which should honestly be a warning sign.

Why is that?

The EMDrive didn't pan out.

Does LK-99 defy the laws of physics like the EmDrive did?

A room temperature and pressure semiconductor is more an astoundingly large jump forward in the space than something that defies known physics.

That doesn’t track. The EmDrive was legitimately pushing a premise that we had some fundamental law of physics wrong. Superconductors are pretty well understood, they’ve been around for a while. Finding a room temperature one isn’t that big of a jump, it’s just a really hard one to make.

You're in agreement with the GP, their comment was just hard to parse.

Perhaps it would have been clearer to say "than it is something..." . Too late to edit at this point unfortunately.

You know the algorithm for arithmetic. Are you telling me you could sum any large numbers first attempt, without any working and in less than a second 100% of the time?

I don't get why the sudden fixation on time, the model is also spending a ton of compute and energy to do it

I could with access to a computer

If you get to use a tool, then so does the LLM.

Question isn't clear if the watch is stuck to the bottom of the chair.

Shouldn’t the trainers be injecting the expected alignment behaviour into the source text during the pre training. Effectively poisoning their own dataset but with desired behaviour.

You could even have another llm do this.

I personally believe ChatGPT’s reasoning abilities to be close to a 6-9 year old child, so the following isn’t exactly groundbreaking. But the point is it does seem to have the ability to generate novel ideas.

Q : I’ve got a tea cup and a fork. Could you suggest novel ideas about how i could combine these items to come up with a novel use?

A : As an AI language model, I can suggest some ideas:

- Use the fork to create small holes at the bottom of the tea cup, and turn it into a miniature planter for small plants like succulents.

- Use the fork to create patterns or designs on the surface of the tea cup, and turn it into a decorative art piece.

- Use the fork to stir the tea in the cup, and then use it as a paintbrush to create unique and interesting art pieces.

- Use the tea cup as a base for a homemade candle, and use the fork to create patterns or designs on the surface of the candle wax.

- Use the fork to create small holes on the surface of the tea cup and turn it into a lampshade by inserting a light bulb inside.

- Use the fork to create a small opening on the side of the tea cup and turn it into a bird feeder by adding birdseed to the cup.

- Use the fork to create small holes on the bottom of the tea cup and turn it into a soap dish.

- Use the tea cup as a base and the fork as a holder for small items such as earrings or rings.

- Use the tea cup as a pen holder and use the fork to create a unique design on the surface of the cup.

- Use the fork to create small holes on the surface of the tea cup and turn it into a musical instrument by adding beans or rice inside and shaking it.

It doesn't quite manage the google logo https://imgur.com/69t6bfK

lol yeah I rendered that and its not even close https://imgur.com/eFhMfYG

Definitely makes me think something is up. I wonder if they primed the model with some extra microsoft content to get better demos.
