to add to that I've heard a lot of people who have things like ADHD saying LLM's are life changing more than say neurotypical people. For those of us with bad ADHD doing simple things are the hardest, just taking out the trash or

I figure AGI will need a lot of parts to it, the same way our brain does, but having the language part figured out is I would guess is about 1/4 of what we need to solve to get there. So it's not AGI, but I would say it's a b

Could this perhaps fall under something like trademark, like an unauthorized use of self, I'm sure I've heard of some celebrity cases that were for similar.

Have to second this, it's rare for an applications UX to piss me off enough to start looking into modding it or creating a fork but blender is at the top of that list. Just having a better way to customize hotkeys would go really far,

that's a gross oversimplification and an argument that was made in bad faith that has now spread like a meme. The gist was if you overtrain a model, and try to recreate an exact image by prompting very similar things, and run it severa

I'm not convinced the training on copyrighted things argument will hold up either.

Honestly probably not that hard, could train a model/lora with about 30 images, so gather more than 30 good looking icons, train a model and then take the time to prompt and generate all the icons you need. Then do touchups in gimp&#x2

I forget the term for it but there is a thing in anime subgenres where something comes out that is a kid of rejection/critique of the previous genre and acts as a kind of pseudo parody that afterwards sets a new direction and redefines

I also don't think nintendo should be granted the patents it is seeking, other games have done similar enough before that it feels wrong to give it to the bigger company because they asked.

If I remember right I think a lot of the original X-box was repurposed sega tech and microsoft made a deal with sega to do that.

I bet that if they really wanted to try to maintain what they have while not basing it on race specifically they could just base it on zip code or poverty metrics and still predict race correctly about 80-90% of the time. I'm not sure

There is an argument about the open source models causing more innovation and thus more industry and/or competetive advantage of a nation. So I can't imagine that control is the only thing they are thinking about, though surely th

I want to say I read a few years back some scientists were studying the possibility of using phages to fight super bacteria, apparently can evolve to be either phage resistant or antibiotic resistant but never both, or at least that was the

I believe the problem is that it's expected of a developing nation, but once a nation is considered developed it's looked down on. Similar to a person acting childish when an adult. China want's to have their cake and eat it

Honestly it would be hard to touch on without insulting large swaths of society. Just thinking about my own friend and family circle the way a college aged woman is treated is vastly different, even just by parents. For example my sister (2

In truth 16% is much lower than I would have expected, expected it upwards of 50%. I once had a debate with a friend about whether it was ethical to hire someone based on looks, because looks were something mostly inherent to the person and

What I've heard from those I've talked to who have open sourced things successfully, they always talk about open sourcing things that work like plumbing or are foundational to what you do, but keeping the core of what you do yours

Sounds similar to Hawthorne effect to me, where they sudied office workers on how they reacted to dimming or raising the lights and both caused upward productivity but it was because the workers realised they were being watched not because

At this stage I just assume most AI laws being passed are red flag laws similar to how when cars were new places passed laws about people having to walk and to wave flags ahead of cars to warn that a car was coming. In 20 years most of thos

I don't think search is bad because the tech can't do it, I think it's bad because they are maximizing profit from advertising and because SEO got gamed by marketer's too hard.

I lived there for a while twice, not much in the burbs either, but there was a lot to like as far as music, bars and interesting food. But yeah, getting around wasn't convenient, all of texas is like that, first time I visited I was li

Just to second this, the natural bias of data is usually mostly inline with the bias of society at large, so even if it's something we need to fix, manipulating the data maybe isn't the way to start, maybe it should instead be &qu

I think 2.0 has potential still, it works with textual inversion type models much better, which can kinda play nice with each other, so given enough of those I imagine you can get some cool stuff with it. I've also heard it does negati
