Entirely anecdotal but I did notice a marked shift towards even more erratic behaviour and dissonant, often contradictory utterances after his second disclosed Covid bout back in March this year and since then.

It's possible to so a much better job with automation too. Context aware cropping, accurate aspect ratio, quality filtering by various metric... all solved problems long ago, but absent from Laion-5B for some reason. Perhaps it would b

Seems an obvious if orthogonal solution might be to substitute typing with voice input designed in a way that avoids the keyboard non-optionally sliding up to cover half the screen whenever text input is selected. Recognition accuracy is pr

Best explanation I've read online. Most attempts at describing why boil down to the circular "clinical trials are very expensive because the process of getting a new drug approved is lengthy, complex and expensive".

You need limited liability at larger scale and an official entity to get low interest loans, support and above the counter investor funding. These systems need new company centred reform and redesign to remove friction causing elements like

Absolutely. Also, in paperwork superpowers, oftentimes the only ways to get things done are by resorting to what global consensus evaluative norms view as corruption, and a significant form proportion of what goes on frankly is corruption o

Just barely and only because the still functioning USSR prestig preservation urges kicked in and fed a million biorobots to secure the reactors and build the sarcophagus.

War zones, potential war zones, or climate risk zones. See not only Ukraine this last year but the fact that France ran low on cool enough to be useful cooling water due to the summer heatwave. Unacceptable and unnecessary tactical risks. D

People in the west have forgotten how to address scaled emergency problem sets with physical world engineering rather than the crutch of financialization so yeah, I'm as optimistic as you are. But it would be orders of magnitude less c

Couldn't agree more - generalised task capable systems will likely be composable architectures that draw upon a grounding in variety of methods, not just DL by any means. Synthetic sensoria capable of integrating, interpreting and gene

Good Old Fashioned (symbolic) Artificial Intelligence. And thanks, absolutely my clumsily worded investor pitch intent was to cover techniques not yet invented, thanks for picking up on that.

The investors are buying into a toolset for what will potentially become open source AGI that is already blowing the competition out of the water in terms of capabilities, speed of development, and access/reach. Add together large lang

Fortunately it's possible to use the not yet mothballed nuke plants to split H20 and inject the resulting hydrogen into the natural gas supply for use in heating systems and industrial processes. Blend specifics matter, but the necessa

2 star surroundings at 5 star prices. Most unreasonably and incongruously poor ratio of living costs to service quality of any major megacity I've spent time in. Love it, but wouldn't live in London again in its current state unle

General purpose transformers and diffusion models are of limited practical value? Or biomimicry inspired research and design in general?

Intentional/incidental biomimicry of high level neural behaviors and structures by ML/AI researchers is hardly a new kid on the block. Sure, with neuron centered approach research is still at the level of discerning urban activity

The LAION-5B dataset was curated by researchers at Heidelberg University, and while it was filtered for nsfw content, the human form is less of an issue in much of Europe compared to views and attitudes in the US.

Conversely, there's considerably more difference in concept and capacity between Dalle, and what's in development but not yet released. Safe to say that OAI and the rest of bigtech is at least a few years ahead internally and the

Makes me wonder that too. Along with what percentage of internet searches in general would be better served by a user owned and fine tuned InstructGPT model frontend linked to a network of larger backend models of various kinds and generali

She brings her opinions to work, clearly. And Google's policy for years has been to publish clickbait research that tease AI wonders that stretch the imagination and then never release to public access, let alone the open source and ac

I'd be shocked if it takes as long as a year for the first neural 3D engine to be released.
