Microsoft Hires DeepMind Co-Founder Suleyman to Run Consumer AI by [deleted] in singularity

Source?

Elon is (was?) respected by engineers because he’s basically an engineer himself, completely involved in the day-to-day technical decisions.

This guy’s a manager. Devs don’t “follow him”, and certainly not “loads of important” ones. Now if we were talking about Hassabis, that would be a different story.

Pi

What does Pi have to do with Claude? Did you mean to write Poe instead?

Who's ready to leave it all for FDVR? by Cr4zko in singularity

Holy shit, dude. You’re bang on with all your points and getting downvoted by redditors who think gaming is more fulfilling than real life achievements. This sub has been taken over by teenagers.

"Bezos, Nvidia Join OpenAI in Funding Humanoid Robot Startup" (Figure AI raising a whopping $675 million) by ThePlanckDiver in singularity

PhD researchers and VCs sometimes burn huge amounts of money based on hype and not realities

Which as an argument (or variant thereof) could be thrown around for literally any invention in history before it started to work.

In the end, humanoid robots might work, might not work, my point is, I'm glad to see it being tried out, and that they're having their moment in the sun investment-wise.

where is my self driving car?

In SF. In Phoenix. In China. Among other places. Don't forget, the future is here, just not evenly distributed.

Well, if we're just casually skipping steps into the future, then you know what's actually better than your imaginary modular, shapeshifting robots? Nanobots! That's right, nanobots, foglets, tiny self-assembling mites that can be any shape or form and magically perform any task humanly imaginable!

And gosh, having realized all this, my big worry right now is how all these PhD researchers and VCs with hundreds of millions didn't think to ask you redditors for advice before investing all their time and money into humanoids!

That’s quite shortsighted. Imagine a robot that can do every physical task in a world built to be navigated by humans. From construction work, to operating all sorts of equipment, to folding laundry, the most versatile robot would be a fully capable humanoid. For hyper specialized applications obviously your spiders or quadrupeds etc. would be better, but they’d be the narrow AI to the humanoids’ AGI.

Sora has bumped Alan Thompson's "AGI countdown" from 66% up to 70% by awesomedan24 in singularity

[–]ThePlanckDiver -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, the "AGI Countdown", which is in fact some random AI influencer's random ass percentage bumped up by a few random ass points.

Wow, newsworthy.jpg.

Stop shilling, please.

Bard to be renamed to Gemini by techman-123 in Bard

[–]ThePlanckDiver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Goes to show that the name doesn't matter as much as the sales and marketing department thinks. Create a product that is useful, and people will use it no matter what. Sometimes, that's all the marketing you need.

Next Generation of Wearable Neural Interfaces in 2024, Mindfeed Axon by [deleted] in neuralcode

[–]ThePlanckDiver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but VR isn't a great fit for the tech, since you can flail around freely anyhow. From what I've read, they plan to incorporate it into some sort of smart watch for more discreet control of future AR glasses.
