If quantum computers crack digital crytography, traditional bank account goes to zero too because regular 'ol databases also use crytography techniques for communication.

Big pivot towards platform monopoly. The power of AI is nothing compared to having a big fat network effect monopoly like Meta or Google.

The question is about sensory experience, not goals. Goals in the robot could be prompted in. Goals in the squirrel can be easily hacked using strong doses of opiates. Go to any American metropolitan downtown, and you can see humans who hav

I don't think a modern LLM is necessarily less complicated than a squirrel brain. If anything it's more engineered (well structured and dissectable), but loaded with tons of erroneous circuitry that is completely irrelevant for in

This is actually a pretty good point, but quite honestly isn't this just an implementation detail? We can wire up a squirrel robot, give it a wifi connection to a Cerebras inference engine with a big context window, then let it run abo

The workings of a human eye versus a webcam is mostly an implementation detail IMO and has nothing important to say about what underlies "intelligence" or "world models" It's like saying a component video out cable

This world model talk is interesting, and Yann Lecunn has broached on the same topic, but the fact is there are video diffusion models that are quite good at representing the "video world" and even counterfactually and temporally

I don't know why LINQ would have any better or worse performance than a standard loop for most tasks. Abusing LINQs will of course lead to degraded performance. I've found if you want to insert more logic into your loop, sometimes

This doesn't make much sense. Collagen is just a proline rich amino acid your body makes itself. Also you get the same type of amino acid by eating jello pudding. Sticking it directly into a wound shouldn't make much of a differen

This sounds a bit like copium. There's more than one AI based technique for generating images, and its almost trivial to ask an ai to both come up with an original art style and to generate images in what it says to be original. There

Very useful when you need to do logic on Iterables. Feels almost like python. For example, in a game you may have a situation where you maintain a runtime list of objects with a certain property but you want to filter by some other property

It's disappointing to me how far behind other chipmakers are in having unified gpu/cpu memory bus. Only AMD Strix Halo even attempts this. Well this announcement tipped my hand and I'm finally buying a new macbook :)

Machines passed the Turing test 3 years ago. They now produce art, music, and poetry indistinguishable from what humans once created. In 10-20 years time, it is likely they will take over virtually all forms of human labor. This constant ne

That's feels like such a luddite take. 50 years from now AI powered toys will be so ubiquitous and common to people, they will barely blink. Just imagine how people must've failed against the first electronic toys 80 years ago, or

I actually think many of these are non-issues if devs take the most likely approach which is simply doing a hybrid approach. You only need to apply generative AI to game assets that do not do well with the traditional triangle rasterization

Yeah, which is pretty slow due to the need to autoregressively generate each image frame token in sequence. And leading diffusion models need to progressively denoise each frame. These are very expensive computationally. Generating the enti

Every generation thinks the current generation of graphics won't be topped, but I think you have no idea what putting realtime generative models into the rendering pipeline will do for realism. We will finally get rid of the uncanny va
