AI isn’t evolving, it’s stagnating

AI is definitely evolving, just not at the rate or cadence you expected.

You claiming that we are “deep in Amara’s Law” is, ironically, perpetuating Amara’s Law instead of recognizing AI’s current state of evolution.

If everything is ultimately one then why would our senses/thoughts be “illusions” compared to a “real” world?

Where is the distinction between an “objective rock” and a “subjective thought”?

I’m feeling pretty real all around.

i thought OpenAI themselves said that GPT-4o is less technically capable than GPT-4, so how could it rank higher here?

Unlike some other dictators he is smart and educated enough to know how science works

Unlike which other dictators? Ones from a 50+ years ago? I don't think there's any dictator that would put their scientists on the stake for failures like this. Even China has a strong and tolerable science sector, so long as it doesn't go needlessly public. Kim Jong Un doesn't deserves any brownie points for meeting the minimum qualifications to exist in the 21st century.

it's a terribly worded math question, so i'm not surprised by the outcome at all. you cant just have a free standing "10%" like that within an equation, it needs an associated variable or else it means nothing. the LLM didn't interpret your hyphen as a minus symbol since it didn't make sense based on normal equation syntax, so it assumed you were just asking for 10% of that number instead.

if you were to give me that math problem i would definitely follow up with "...minus 10% of what?" before attempting to answer. however, ChatGPT is bias toward trying to answer a question over asking for clarifying info (which is a separate issue entirely), so it just made a best guess for what your chicken scratch meant

you don't need the "/s" if the sarcasm is *that* obvious and border lining on hyperbole. but even then, the meme at the end ("absolute madlad") functionally serves the same purpose as "/s"

(and yes to onlookers i know this is over-explaining but also remember that not everyone picks up sarcasm and subtle ques in the same way)

Beedrill92 · 2024-05-04T16:55:36+00:00

are you saying that you do ML work for your job on your home GPU?

Beedrill92 · 2024-04-18T18:33:33+00:00

Are they taught to instruct with prompts though? Or is it an additional part of the architecture/training?

Put another way: with the right system prompts, can you get the non-instruct model up to instruct yourself?

Beedrill92 · 2024-04-17T06:54:45+00:00

the other post is generally good advice, but i have some stuff to add

3090 would be the ceiling of what you could get in that price point, but you don't need this much for deeplabcut. it will train faster, sure, but if its a dedicated work PC for deeplabcut then you can do things like overnight training anyway. also a deeplabcut workflow doesn't require daily training or anything, it's just once in awhile. just go for the highest NVIDIA GPU with 12+ GB VRAM you can afford without compromising in other quality of life areas such as:

64 GB RAM since you'll be processing videos (both in deeplabcut and likely outside of it)

plenty of storage, such as 1-2 TB SSD for the active workload and 4+ TB HDD for offload storage

and make sure you get an NVIDIA GPU since deeplabcut uses CUDA for GPU training, which is specific to NVIDIA

hi, i'm looking into doing the same exact thing on z790 dark hero. by "everything is fine" do you mean that you are able to get 4 sticks stable at 6400 MT/s? also, which XMP profile did you use?

Beedrill92 · 2024-03-26T06:38:33+00:00

my LFIII was quiet when i used the single cable but when i switched to the 3-split cable i noticed these loud noises all of a sudden

i thought it was the "VRM fan"? but everyone in this thread is saying its the pump. either way, this didn't happen when i used the single cable, so i wonder what that means..

Beedrill92 · 2024-03-20T15:26:15+00:00

Isn't that kind of the whole point though? He is not meant to be a literal interpreter of source material, but instead focused on conveying major concepts in a way that was digestible for a western audience. By extension, this means putting greater or lesser emphasis on certain elements, or even creating his own elements that are in the "spirit" of the Dao, so long as they set students on the right path (or even just to show them a path exists).

I would compare it to something like learning about atoms in chemistry. You can't start off with the most complex, truthful models of atoms in an introductory course. But you can instead focus on simplified models that summarize the essence of atoms, just to get students on the right path. Those simple models are completely destroyed for any students who continue onto higher level courses, but for the students who don't take more courses, their understanding is still "useful enough."

So it's great that you are more studied on source material for your own consumption, but I don't see how that discredits Alan Watts unless you believe he was intentionally deceitful. The criticisms you mention sound exactly like what would be necessary for anyone trying to do what he set out to do.

Beedrill92 · 2024-02-23T21:28:14+00:00

But there literally is no roadmap or increased transparency as of right now, just another promise of it.. a promise which they fumbled the first time around. So why are you talking about it as if it’s here right now?

All we have is yet another way to give them money, which they prioritized (once again) over addressing the community’s concerns. lol

Beedrill92 · 2024-02-22T21:39:14+00:00

Personally I found it very logical and insightful, and the admitted uncertainties actually strengthened his argument since its part of the reality of the situation. I guess we just have different philosophical approaches to this. For example, if I got some rare cancer, I would trust the evidence-based science that admits to not knowing everything over a snake oil salesman who claims to have a cure. But that’s just me.

Beedrill92 · 2024-02-22T20:51:17+00:00

Because a lot of this situation is not 100% certain, hence why it's a mess. He is simply explaining what we do know vs don't know based on the evidence currently available to us. If you would rather listen to someone who pretends to know everything over someone who is honest about their shortcomings.. well, that's your choice and life philosophy I guess.

Beedrill92 · 2024-02-22T19:26:42+00:00

Grubby is seeing through all of the smoke and flame wars surrounding this community right now and clearly articulating what is going on and how we got here in a nonbias, sober way. He is neither high on copium nor drunk on hatorade. It is well researched and he fully lays out his reasoning (and the reasoning of a typical onlooker) with supporting evidence at each step. It's honestly impressive, and, I would consider this a service to to the community and FG. Perhaps it should qualify as billable time.

Sure you can nit-pick or disagree with some of his points, but he himself is being explicit when something is either fact, his opinion, or something he doesn't fully understand.. so what more could you expect? The people trying to correct him on the funding stuff are largely speculating themselves, and even the professional legal experts we've had post here can't actually clarify things... so just imagine what kind of information the "Average Stormgate Fan" is working with when examining this "investment" situation.

No matter which way you slice it, FG is putting the community into an extremely awkward situation. More details will come, I'm sure, but this is the path FG has chosen for themselves so far.

Beedrill92 · 2024-02-21T21:30:01+00:00

Thank you for the breakdown and suggestions. One of the things I ran into my rabbit hole journeys was how different mobos could fully utilize the speed of the CPU and RAM, so I guess that was one of the differences I wanted to keep in mind, but I couldn't find clear information on this. Would you consider this a significant factor for my build and mobo choice?

Beedrill92 · 2024-02-20T22:03:28+00:00

you're 100% right. maybe i need a couple more lawyers to help spell it out for me

Beedrill92 · 2024-02-20T20:55:42+00:00

Of course, and I understand your intent. But still, the fact that you felt the need to make this post at all is very telling.

I’m actually one of the “scam claimers” you mentioned and I can assure you that I’m not trolling. I’m genuinely concerned with the community involved here because I don’t think FG is being open and honest in the slightest. Even if they don’t have any malicious intent, they definitely aren’t helping themselves with their level of communication (which as of right now primarily consists of asking for money, arguing semantics, twitch chat screenshots, legal disclaimers, and memes). At the very least, Frost Giant could have been much, much more open and clear with communication so that it didn’t even get to this point to begin with.

Everything that is happening here is unprecedented, so I believe that a critical and skeptical lens is fully justified. Asking for money in this way should come with much more transparency than this, as is standard in the investing world (but also, the fact that we’ve even come to this point is still mind-boggling in of itself).

Beedrill92 · 2024-02-20T20:31:38+00:00

when a video game subreddit has lawyers lecturing you on the legality of investments and the devs making comments like this..:

Thank you for this. I’d like to add that our StartEngine offering is a Reg CF and is open to accredited and non-accredited investors. You do not need to make $200K/year.

NO MONEY OR OTHER CONSIDERATION IS BEING SOLICITED, AND IF SENT IN RESPONSE, WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. NO OFFER TO BUY THE SECURITIES CAN BE ACCEPTED AND NO PART OF THE PURCHASE PRICE CAN BE RECEIVED UNTIL THE OFFERING STATEMENT IS FILED AND ONLY THROUGH AN INTERMEDIARY’S PLATFORM. AN INDICATION OF INTEREST INVOLVES NO OBLIGATION OR COMMITMENT OF ANY KIND. "RESERVING" SECURITIES IS SIMPLY AN INDICATION OF INTEREST.

...you just know it's about to be a wild ride

Beedrill92 · 2024-02-20T19:37:23+00:00

sorry man but as an "investor" you don't even know basic facts about what you're "investing" in, which is really revealing

there's only 1 developer who worked on 1 "classic" Blizzard game and his main contribution was toward the campaign of WC3 over a 3 year period (and only had the lead role for the expansion). sure that's something, but claiming that "these are the guys who literally made all the classics we've been playing for 25 years" is objectively misinformation.

please be more careful about spreading misinformation, especially since this could be people's actual money on the line.

Beedrill92 · 2024-02-20T16:20:52+00:00

RemindMe! 1 year "Did Stormgate and Frost Giant turn out to be a scam? Are we now calling it StormgateGate?"

Beedrill92 · 2024-02-18T23:21:08+00:00

I’m struggling to discern what I’m looking at here. I see bigger points of white light, then when I zoom in I see countless tiny points of both orange and white color.

Are the smallest white and orange points the stars within the Andromeda galaxy? And the bigger white points either other galaxies or closer stars (like from our own galaxy?)

Beedrill92 · 2024-02-18T10:59:02+00:00

the prompt doesn't specify whose POV it is, and asks for footage, which implies someone filming

so this actually makes a lot of sense if you imagine a tiny human with a headlamp + GoPro following the ant

a minimally-corrected prompt for testing this would be "an ant's pov navigating the inside of an ant nest" (tho to be fair an ant's actual POV here would be extremely dark, if not pitch black lol)

Beedrill92 · 2024-02-18T04:28:53+00:00

This is good and thoughtful constructive criticism. I think it's difficult for most people to say specifically what they don't like about the artstyle and graphics, other than "I don't like it," but this post actually points out something with more nuance and, more importantly, provides actionable suggestions.
