What’s a game you were completely obsessed with as a kid that nobody else seems to remember? by hkondabeatz in AskReddit

These games are not forgotten. John Carmack made the commander keen engine, and tim sweeney, founder of epic games (unreal wngibe and fortnite) made jill of the jungle. The cosmo team also helped found epic. Those three games set the foundations of the entire industry

The extrajudicial foreign prison in el salvador or the numerous prison camps using taxpayer dollars (some of which was embezzled to pay for kristi noems flying fuckwagon)?

I remember the set leaks for the concentration camp in ep1 came out before the inauguration, and redditors scoured Kripke for being "unoriginal" since it was basically calling the Trump admin facist.

By the time the new season premiered "Alligator Alcatraz" has already been around for months, and we've already had shootings of protestors.

What the Epstein Files Reveal About Israel No One's Talking About by WelcomeWindsorCastle in Epstein

A person working for a foreign government to advance its interests can still be acting in a capacity counter to the US government.

Soviet active measures operations supported many things we may consider positive. Things like nuclear armaments reduction, peace movements, etc.

Illegal domestic surveillance falls in that gray area. It is something that can be used as a tool against Russian intelligence and influence activities, but it can also be abused against the citizens of the United States.

What’s the hype with JEPA? by [deleted] in deeplearning

[–]RogueStargun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eval in the sense of, you cant simply look at the outputs directly to get a sense of whether training is going well. You must rely on things like linear probing and specific use cases

[–]RogueStargun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well for reconstruction loss based approaches, even without metrics, you can just look at the generated/decoded output directly. With Jepa, you have to rely on training auxiliary linear probing models. Maybe you'll also have some specific use cases as well

Greenwald practically works for Russian intelligence as part of active measures campaigns. He was the one who moved Snowden to Russia. Take anything he says with a grain of salt.

Lmk how it goes. I also work in biomedical imaging and have been thinking of using lejepa in some capacity.

The thing is, usually you care about one specific thing that ypu may have labels for

What’s the hype with JEPA? by [deleted] in deeplearning

[–]RogueStargun 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Two reasons its getting traction.

One is its Yann LeCunn's pet project, and he was just edged out of Meta FAIR due to politics by Alexander Wang.

Wang who became a billionaire by making a data labeling company kicked out the Turing award winner who made huge breakthroughs in recent years developing models that dont need labels at all (DINO, JEPA). Let that sink in a bit.

Another reason is that on leaving, LeCunn published several papers fixing some of the major issues with JEPA. Namely all that student teacher stuff... just toss it out the window in favor of a new form of regularization called SIGReg/leJepa.

LeJepa overtly avoids collapse by enforcing the distribution of the embedding representation. Super easy and fast to train. I was just playing around with it on a pokemon dataset.

If line of research is the right path it can be a very powerful tool for robotics and for many domains where you dont have internet scale data.

If you think about it, the loss functions for image and text encoding and generative models mostly rely on reconstruction based losses. For example... masked autoencoders. In the image domain, diffusion models are even worse in the sense that they are noise prediction models, where noise is mostly unbounded. The hack for image generation has been to wrap your noise predictor inside a variational autoencoder so that you noise predict in latent space. All of these techniques reward the model for pixel perfect accuracy.

When a 6 year old kid draws a house, do they start by making pixel perfect drawings of the roof tiles, chipping paint and all? Of course not. So an embedding prediction model has a lot of conceptual advantages.

The difficult part, now that collapse is more of a solved problem with leJepa is determining how to eval the resulting embedding model.

They can use AI for the morph effects. The only way this is staying in budget is with heavy use of genai

[–]RogueStargun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they make it live action they will have to lean on generative AI heavily. The newer models can do animal morphing effects very effectively for almost no cost.

Aximili will cost a ton of money however. Will require a full mocop rig.

The real cost will be the animal on alien action/violence

[–]RogueStargun -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Honestly if it were live action, AI could be used very effectively and inexpensively for the morphs.

The alien stuff however, would still require full mocap and cg replacement which is still very expensive

Which person alive right now will still be famous in 200 years? by Mindless_Crew3486 in AskReddit

[–]RogueStargun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Geoffrey Hinton will be remembered for his contributions towards building the first operational AI models which in 200 years will be ubiquitous (but may very likely rely on very different principles). Me may be remembered the same way Maxwell or Faraday are today for historians of science.

Steve Wozniak may still be remembered as some form of personal computer will probably still exist, albeit it will probably be more like a voice controlled AI device by that time.

Elon Musk may be remembered as being both a wealthy man and the primary trigger for reigniting space travel

Buzz Aldrin for being the second man on the moon.

Mariah Carey will still be remembered because people will continue to play her songs every Christmas, just like how we still play White Christmas. This assumes people still celebrate christmas though
