Thanks for your reply! I must admit that my comment was very much a cheeky one and in no way harboured any real criticism. In a world where literally every aspect of our being and behaviour is being exploited for some corporations financial

It’s good for art, conditional on the fact that artists get paid. Obviously, more recognition is always better as long as it is compensated appropriately. Maybe democratisation was the wrong word; makes it seem like it should be ‘free’

I agree with that aspect of it, the democratization of individual artist's styles is okay and probably good for art. I think it's more the stuff said like: > all you have to do is just use those scraped datasets and then conve

Awesome! Is there a similar technique for the Apple vision ‘ Copy Subject ’ feature? I’ve become extremely reliant on it, but it feels very limited in access.

This is so fun! Makes me feel like I’m conducting a 1 dimensional random walk. Who knows, maybe this is being used to generate pseudo stock prices or something.

Been looking around for the past 10 minutes trying to find information on the mob-following implementation in Minecraft - can't find a thing. I assume it's just vanilla A* with some parameters?

I agree that the mathematics motivating neural networks are well understood. We understand the heuristics behind them; obviously, we created them and they work. I more just mean at the most fundamental level, do we understand intelligence;

I hear what you’re saying. Yes of course we should aim to make our LLM’s as trustworthy as possible. I think my argument was more philosophical than practical. I meant that directing real anger seems misguided; after all humans lie with int

I love when basic statistical models are used for tasks usually dominated by deep learning; image classification, stock price analysis. Makes me happy for some reason.

But isn’t the problem that the ‘object’ formed by the measuring tape/rulers isn’t representative of the (most likely) concave object you’re trying to measure.

But they’re probably high off the ground in a healthy flow of wind current right, as Newton’s third law would dictate. I could be wrong - mainly just nitpicking the way the demo video relentlessly mentions that the bird can hover
