Cool but is there a reason they can't just make PRs for vLLM and llama.cpp? Or have their own forks if they take too long to merge?

To the author: ask your AI "what percentage of websites will this be expected to work well on, or better than just reading the HTML? What portion of websites do we need DOM, JS and maybe CSS at this point?"

Maybe the disobedient were just a bit smarter and therefore more likely to figure out that they should refuse, but also had more inherent instruction following capabilities.

The way I use Telynx is via SIP which is an open protocol. No reason we should be relying on proprietary APIs for this stuff. On GitHub see my fork runvnc/PySIP. Please let me know if you know if something better for python that is not

It's a feedback loop. I've always felt that the most important part of engineering was feedback loops. Maybe nature is the greatest engineer ever?

I think the biggest thing is to not give it access to anything like a shell (obviously), limit the call length, and give it a hangup command. Then you tell it to just not answer off the wall questions etc. and if you are using a good model

There is no such thing as an AI-proof career. Look at recent output from leading edge humanoid robotics projects like 1X/Neo, Figure 03, Skild AI. Also see open published work like MimicDroid, HDMI, GenMimic, Humanoid-Union Dataset, R

I thought the most interesting thing about tinygrad was that theoretically you could render a model all the way into hardware similar to Taalas (tinygrad might be where Taalas got the idea for all I know). I could swear I filed a GitHub iss

Why do you assume it's the worst use case? It's checking important info that has been entered into forms. People lie. Someone has to verify info. It's very tedious and something that obviously should be automated. And it'

You need to provide info on your hardware. Pocket-TTS does cloning on CPU, but for me randomly outputs something pretty weird sounding mixed in with like 90% good outputs. So it hasn't been quite stable enough to run without checking o

Thanks for open sourcing this. Is there any way to do a custom voice as a DIY? Or we need to go through you? If so, would you consider making a pricing page for purchasing a license/alternative voice? All but one of the voices are unus

okay so they say text continuation only without fine tuning. I assume that means that we can't use it as a replacement for TTS in an AI agent chat? Because it will not work without enough context? Could you maybe trick it into thinking

Just for some perspective, it could be a lot worse. Some of us: - don't have a psychiatrist - don't have medication or healthcare - work remotely but their client often doesn't check in for days or over a week - when they do
