Technology

Boo!

What’s wild to me is how Yann LeCun doesn’t seem to see this as an issue at all. Many other leading researchers (Yoshua Bengio, Geoffrey Hinton, Frank Hutter, etc.) signed that letter on the threats of AI and LeCun just posts on Twitter and talks about how we’ll just “not build” potentially harmful AI. Really makes me lose trust in anything else he says.

There with you. This is really worrying to me. This technology is advancing way faster than were adjusting to it. I haven't even gotten over how amazing GPT2.5 is but most people already seem to be taking it for granted. We didn't have anything even close to this just few years prior

Oh its going to be fantastic all right.

Fantastical chimera monster porn, at least for the beginning.

'obama giving birth', 'adam sandler with big feet', 'five nights at freddy's but everyone's horny'

possibilities are endless

I'm looking forward to reading the paper

You mean the 100 page technical report

I was thinking exactly this but with the Bible. Not because I like the Bible but because I'd love to see how AI interprets one of the most important books in human history.

But yeha, the Silmarillion is basically a Bible from another universe.

What it was the end of was talentless painters who were just copying what they saw. Painting stopped being for service and started being for art. That is where software development is going.

I think a better way of saying this are people who were just doing it for a job, not because of a lot of talent or passion for painting.

But doing something just because it is a job is what a lot of people have to do to survive. Not everyone can have a profession that they love and have a passion for.

That's where the problem comes in when it comes to these generative AI.

In my experience as a game designer, the code that LLMs spit out is pretty shit. It won't even compile half the time, and when it does, it won't do what you want without significant changes.

If you read Japanese, it's really obvious the Tokyo one is AI; the signage largely makes no sense, has incorrect characters, has weird mixing of characters, etc.

Someone wrote a decent story line for those??

We already knew how to farm before John Deere; should we have focused away from agricultural industrialization in order to preserve jobs?

Working less is a great ideal for humanity.

Americans have this thing that their job defines them but we worked less than we did before, let's keep going.

Why pursue any of the arts if they do not benefit humanity?

I can't understand how the shadows and reflections are so accurate (not perfect, but convincing) like here or here.

This would be the most GPU intensive compression algorithm of all time :)

If you randomize the seed it'll be a different render of the movie every time.

Sounds like you already saw Madame Web

The compute power it would take to do that in realtime at the framerates required for VR to be comfortable for two separate perspectives would be absolutely beyond insane. But at the rate hardware improves and the breakneck speed these AI models are developing maybe it's not as far off as I think.
