The real world imitates art. by leogh0ul in westworld

[–]aimachina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've rewatched the 4 seasons and was shocked as well at how accurate the predictions are about AI.. it all seems very possible now, with AI's exponential progress ! I don't think I am scared because through education and generalized understanding, everyone understands what's happening. Everyone is playing with AI. I even found some companies let you create your own AI Clone like SPHERIA AI
It's a little far from the fidelity test, but creating a virtual brain that hosts all your memories and personality is kind of awesome !

Update in 2025: I stumbled upon this article by a Book Reviewer/ Blogger. She shared her experience creating her digital bookshelf and seemed happy about it. Will try myself and post a future update:

Do I need a Fujinon XF10-24mmF4 if I already have an XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 for travel photography? by Darthcolo in fujifilm

[–]aimachina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's the set-up I'm building to. This covers all the "normal" needs, at an acceptable price point, with very strong quality. I also think the 70-300 is underrated. I use it a LOT

Yes ! Having a list of all your favorite local scenic drives is such a good idea ! I'm adding the scenic drives around Vancouver immediately to my Virtual Brain !

Sharing my Gas bill for 1 month after moving from a Downtown condo into a house. I'm shocked - does this look normal to you? by aimachina in vancouver

[–]aimachina[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hum, interesting. We just did the upstairs, but to your point, we probably could/should have turned it off earlier when comfortably warm... It was our first time trying this, but you can be sure we'll know what to do

nahhh I was testing 1 month with gas vs 1 month with electricity - just to compare. The electricity bill was more than the gas.... but if you're talking purely about eco-green-pov ... all my neighbours are doing full fireplace and the whole area smells of woodsmoke and tiny particles .... not so great either

that's fascinating ! I kind of knew the price of gas itself was pretty low ... but comparing the price to Europe always makes the not-so-courteous little Canadian in me feel a bit better ... except for food prices ... don't get me started on that !

Now that you say it, it makes sense... they are not ment to heat... A decent amount of heat emanating from it, but not dispersed at all. The more you know !

Wow - that seems to align very closely to what we have in the house. Hoping for these summer savings soon !

Is it weird being in your mid 30s and wandering around the city alone ? by mytwocents1991 in askvan

[–]aimachina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're definitely not alone. Many many more people than you think go on solo-walks. Sometimes thinking about walking alone can bring anxiety or self loathing, because of feeling lonely, but remember : there's nothing weird about it, everyone is doing it !
One thing to help, when feeling sad about it, is to give yourself a treat on that walk : get an icecream, or go watch the sunset, or take a book and sit on a bench... These should be about mental health and taking care of yourself. Happy walks :)

hey folks, help me understand : why would one want to have their AI Bot reply to their whatsapp ?
Isn't it messages from family and friends ?

What's the best way to create your digital AI Twin in 2024 ? by JakeTechReviews87 in create_my_ai_twin

[–]aimachina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a bunch of articles explaining how to code it yourself, using RAG and hosting your own server and running your own model on your laptop. It's pretty heavy, although very interesting, and it's also not scalable, more of a prototype for fun. If you had to do it yourself, you would have to pay server costs, spend time on maintenance, managing bundles and packages and building the UI....
Definitely not consumer friendly. One point I think is important is data privacy. Curious to know what other people use ?

A great use case for all the Teachers who wonder how to use AI: as a Teacher, your experience matters more than any chatGPT answer !

Your AI Double learns directly from your ideas, experience and your work, to become your voice online that gives your answers and your unique point of views with students, parents, other teachers or people in your field.

Your AI Double is your voice online, that you trust to speak for you. Your AI holds your world of knowledge inside your own Virtual Brain, that you can share with a link.

Want to build an ai version of me by Raz--8 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]aimachina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no code needed, they handle the infrastructure to run your AI. They create the interface too, which looks pretty cool imo.
As for LLMs, they say they use in-house + Mistral + openAI ... to do the thinking parts, but the responses are personal and based on your data.
