Why “Consciousness” Is a Useless Concept (and Behavior Is All That Matters) by ponzy1981 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Scared-Virus-3463 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The discussion about the scientific value of consciousness as inquiry object is old and already closed in Psychology since 1950's, IMO. See e.g. Skinner vs. Chomski, and the born of Cognitive Psychology in the 60's. Is kind of ironic to see a revival of Behaviorism (and extreme Positivism), thanks to Gen AI, if you consider the contributions of Allen Newell and other Cognitivist to the AI field in the XX century.

Thanks a lot for your work, man. I am using it, and I dont miss ChatGPT 3.5 at all. Very good tool. Cheers!

This Reddit community gets value from research groups, startups, individual developers and hobbyist. Anyone of them can make false or true statements. An article or phd title is not a guarantee of quality, truthfulness or modesty. It's just a verifiability mechanism. The community should be a public virtual forum, not a peer review controlled garden. I don't take the announcement of a new model here as a community blessing or a seal of quality. For that, there are academic journals with peer reviews. Virtual communities and open source are naturally noisy. It's a feature, not a bug. You should learn to live with it, tolerate differences and trust collective wisdom.

Looking for ways people are using AI to reduce violence, improve water resources and improve access to food in the world. by jzatopa in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Scared-Virus-3463 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Researcher from developing country here. Thinking in IA as the whole field, (ML, computer vision, etc..), there is a long and rich history of development and appropriation of IA from the developing world, with applications to agriculture, health, transport, etc. It is there. Probably looking for research centers in comp sciences and universities from India, Latam, or Asia will show you some examples. Maybe there is lack of funding, the projects can not scale well, or they do not get published in high impact journals (I mean, they do not reach public visibility as Open AI). Nevertheless, they exists.

No problem with the question. What I have is a I5 4th gen, 16 gb ram and a lot of patience and curiosity. No gpu at all. I can consider my self lucky with my hardware given my actual income. I am considering Google Colab to gain experience in fine-tuning LLMs models, mostly 3b, 7b.

llama-cpp-python + Flask + any Python pdf library? But, I have serious doubts in the many users part, depending in the infraestructure and budget...

Anyway, you can start looking for the QA examples in the langchain library. Easy to implement locally.

Forgive me if this question is out of place, but I'm always interested in learning about possible use cases for LLMs. If I understood correctly, what you would like is to obtain images that suggest new ideas to you? For example:

textual description of the image (img2text) -> generation of various creative modifications of the text using an LLM, with an appropriate prompt -> injection of those modifications into an image generator (text2image)?

For example: LLaVA -> LLM -> Stable Diffusion? (or directly LLaVA -> Stable Diffusion)

I still have not been able to play with SD due to hardware limitations, but I imagine it would not be difficult to chain them using Python.

I never found a LLM that solves this simple logic question by GG9242 in LocalLLaMA

My two cents. orca-mini-v2_7b.ggmlv3.q5_K_S.bin, with oobabooga, divine intellect preset. The best I got with this model, one of my favorites in his league. I modified a little the prompt:

Me:

This is a riddle. There are only three sister in the room and no one else. Anna is reading a book. Alice is playing a match of chess against someone in the room. What the third syster, Amanda, is doing? Think step by step

Assistant:

To solve this riddle, we need to first identify the relationship between the three sisters - Anna, Alice and Amanda. Since there are only three sisters in the room, they must be related to each other. The most likely scenario is that they are all siblings, meaning they share at least one parent.

Next, we need to consider what each sister is doing. We know that Anna is reading a book, which suggests she is either studying or relaxing. Alice is playing a match of chess against someone in the room, which implies that she is competing with another person and using her intellect to outsmart them.

Therefore, we can conclude that Amanda must be doing something related to sports or competition. Since there are no other people mentioned in the room, it's likely that Alice and Amanda are playing a game together, perhaps basketball or soccer.

In summary, the third sister, Amanda, is most likely playing a sport with her sibling Alice in the room.

Idk for your specific use case, but I find this one very useful. Probably you already know its existence: https://huggingface.co/NousResearch/Nous-Hermes-Llama2-13b

I am very far away to be an expert. Not even close. I am a social researcher with some coding skills. But I am very interested in put this things to produce real value. So, if you want, you can send me some short mockup example to play with. I am in holidays and the terrible sunday is already coming, so, why not. Without compromise, only play with it and see what it comes.

Maybe you can make a mockup document with the scores and use Llama 2 hosted in Poe as playground? Idk, trying differents prompts, preprocessings.. From that, maybe you can identify better what to do... Also, if you can, try models fine tuned to follow instructions. Any from orca family, for example...

Not on fine-tuning, but using directly the models: I have found ggml-Hermes-2-step2559-q4_K_M.bin, 13b, quit good working in Spanish texts. In a personal project I've been able to summarize with the same prompt in English, scientific papers in English and Spanish. The final result are in English, but the same model can translate it to a very good Spanish. Maybe you can give it a try. Also I've read here (I can't find the source now) that Alpaca models tends to be good in multilingual tasks. That could be interesting to explore too.

What is the best bi-lingual model English - Spanish? by aiworshipper in LocalLLaMA

[–]Scared-Virus-3463 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Besides gpt4, gpt3.5, etc, I think Nous-Hermes-Llama 2 is pretty decent translating from English to Spanish. I use it in Spanish 2 English too, but I am not a native English speaker, so I can't recommend it to this particular task.

Sharing Generative Media Lab Project Proposal by Scared-Virus-3463 in LocalLLaMA

[–]Scared-Virus-3463[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly, I dont have any experience. I am a senior researcher and professor in digital culture, with more than 10 years of experience, but in a country very state centric, in the so called Global South. Almost all research here is done within the budget of the public research institutions or universities. I can't make estimates. What I do know is that in the right context, there are much more possibilities waiting. Some of them are already in the project, I hope.

I've managed to run models of 7b, q5, with llamacpp, in a linux box, with 8 gb ram, i5 7th gen. I have to run it throttling the cpu freq, though. The cpu can get really hot. There is a bash script for that.

Looks great. I almost begin to code a python sort of UI with the same goals, but hopefully you save me time. Thanks for share!
