In a Ted Talk in April, Li further explained the field of research her startup will work on advancing, which involves algorithms capable of realistically extrapolating images and text into three-dimensional environments and acting on those predictions, using a concept known as “spatial intelligence.” This could bolster work in various fields such as robotics, augmented reality, virtual reality, and computer vision. If these capabilities continue to advance in the ambitious ways Li plans, it has the potential to transform industries like healthcare and manufacturing.

I mean that sounds a lot more interesting than 99% of the LLM work going on at the moment, and given that she lead the team that cracked the computer vision problem of recognising objects she has pedigree.

Citations needed lmao. I'm pretty sure computer vision has recognized "objects" for decades. It's a military tool for murdering non-yts with drones, etc.

Your "pretty sure" is not worth a lot considering how clearly you displayed your ignorance in 3 sentences.

Search engines exist for a reason. If you search "computer vision" you will see very clearly it has not been functional, especially battle field ready, for "decades" as you claimed without citation while demanding citations.
"non-yts" eh? Too afraid to spell the word "white" or what?

Honestly, do a little research and maybe a little soul searching before sharing your opinions with the world. Might be more meaningful for everyone involved.

But how else will they spew their thinly veiled hatred for white people?

there you go, notice the bit under research where it says her imagenet project "has revolutionized the field of large-scale visual recognition."

Side note, do you really think someone called li feifei and born in Beijing is motivated to create a tool to murder non-whites?
