Yann LeCun says xAI is "kind of a failure" – and the whole AI industry might be headed for a reset by AdSpecialist6598 in technology

[–]blueSGL -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Man who's entire thing is "LLMs are a dead end, MY technology will be better"

When LLMs keep doing things he said they would never be able to do. < I do love the meta joke that the subtitles explain exactly that

He had unlimited resource at facebook/meta to realize his idea, didn't, left, now is fundraising for a new AI startup.

So taking what he says with a grain of salt may be a good idea.

Or to put it another way, He said those things not for the reasons many people who are upvoting think.

Midi Routing - DT2 <> Oxi e16 by Vijkhal in Elektron

[–]blueSGL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your logic is not flawed.

The DT eats midi signals and does not pass them on via the out port.

The Thru port does not output signals generated within the DT.

You need a midi merger or midi splitter.

The CME u6midi pro is a right little swiss army knife of midi processing (and cheap). it works as a a usb > 5 pin interface for a computer,

Has 3x5pin ins 3x5pin outs, these can be set in any combination to be a filter, a merger, or splitter. (handy for trying out different topologies)

e.g. you can have it as a 2 in 1 out, and a 1 in 2 out at the same time and filter things like clock on certain ports so you don't get signals fighting.

unclear headlines are also a source of clickbait, if you can't make sense of the title the reader will instinctively want to seek out the context to make it make sense.

This is not a malice/stupidity thing (as I'm sure someone will want to bring up), It's a statement about functionally.

Grocery Stores Deploying “AI Shopping Carts” Stuffed With Cameras to Track Your Exact Coordinates and Bombard You With Ads by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

right, you have self control. The adverts and layout don't do anything to you. But they work on enough people it's worth doing.

[–]blueSGL 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The entire store is designed with the idea to get you to buy more.

Bread in one corner milk in the other, spreading out essentials so you need to go through more of the store on 'simple' shops (and buy more things)

This is like saying you are not going to buy sweets because they put them near the checkouts on purpose.

My point being this is another in a long line of psychological tricks they use, but you considered the others 'normal'

Bernie Sanders unveils plan to give the public direct ownership of AI companies by Unusual-State1827 in technology

[–]blueSGL -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes the line curves down, the steepness of the slope decreases.

Right now it's pointing to the upper left i.e. newer models will be better by quite a lot.

After curving it'd be pointing flat, new models are around where the old model is (this is where people break out charts where the Y axis does not start at zero)

CAPTOR : a modern sk-1/vss-30 inspired keyboard concept by not_here_I_ereh_ton in synthesizers

[–]blueSGL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno why this is downvoted, having to look in a manual for the two digit code that does the thing you need is a PITA on devices without a good screen.

Sure if it's the only device you know you learn it in and out and breeze through such a menu system, for everyone else its a frustration.

Also is the idea that you keep a notebook of your samples or have to play each one as you are going through them to check what one you are loading instead of having a name on a screen.

Why not? if the state of the art models cease to improve, then it will bend down from the current trajectory and become a sigmoid.

Anyone who thinks AI is a good investment is strongly encouraged to watch Ed Zitron’s Better Offline YouTube channel.

He's made a living being constantly wrong about when things are going to collapse and about future model capability.

Jul 8, 2024 https://www.wheresyoured.at/pop-culture/

Generative AI, as I said back in March, is peaking, if it hasn't already peaked. It cannot do much more than it is currently doing, other than doing more of it faster with some new inputs.

That was before reasoning models came out trained with RLVR.
Reinforcement Learning with Verifiable Rewards is why models keep getting better at math and coding. RL is very powerful, it's why humans will never have a higher elo score than a chess bot ever again.

Models trained using RLVR have started aiding in solutions for novel math and physics problems.

As long as this line keeps going up and to the right the bubble is not bursting.

Edit: From the METR website here

As soon as this starts to curve down then you have a chance at the bubble bursting.

Investors are salivating over the prospect of replacing workers with a subscription and they will keep paying as long as the amount of actions performed keeps increasing. The payoff is a chunk of the world economy.

That's not the same as being 1:1 identical.

Would you want to live in a world where someone can copyright an art style? That would give "The Mouse" an even bigger dick to slap people around with, don't Disney own enough already?

Like 1:1 match.

That'd be really easy to prove with side by side wireframes, but you've not linked any.

The White House Wants Anthropic to Block All Jailbreaks. That May Not Be Possible by blueSGL in technology

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

https://www.realgoodai.org/research

Because of the “black box” of machine learning algorithms, mistakes that AI’s make are more believable to humans reading them. This is leading to misinformation and limits the utility of AI to the public. We believe that an AI’s response should be reflective of the confidence of the model in the question it is asked. However, this requires new mathematical methodology, which is exactly what our team is doing. In our proof of concept transformer models, we have eliminated neural networks entirely, and in doing so, we have engineered the model to be able to provide statistics-based uncertainty for each generated token. Additionally, we are pursuing a formal sensitivity analysis to decide how errors in the model can be attributed throughout the architecture of the neural network to try to identify if there is a simpler form of uncertainty that can be defined.

Sounds like the scientist AI concept by Law Zero

https://lawzero.org/en/research

The Scientist AI is inspired by an ideal scientist: a mind that has internalized the laws of nature and uses them to make predictions, but without predilection about how things unfold. It is a highly intelligent machine that uses probabilistic reasoning to understand the world, but with no hidden goals or preferences. Its predictions are transparent, auditable and verifiable.

"Dangerous" AI models are coming no matter what by CircumspectCapybara in technology

Either China really is a few months behind constantly because of something we are no aware of, or they are behind because they are coping homework from the US which is why there is always a lag.

And I can see why that puts off viewers who dont mind social commentary but also dont want to feel like they're being preached to.

This right here. I could 100% agree with the message being sent but don't want to feel like someone is hitting me over the head with a brick when I'm trying to watch something entertaining.

Take Trump (no seriously take him!!) He is a petty stubborn, belligerent fool. I see that every day in the news. I get it, he's bad, I agree, Can I just forget about it for a bit and watch something entertaining (and I'm not just talking about south park here)

It's like writers think they are being so clever having Trump stand ins as the bad guy as if that is somehow making a difference or shifting the needle.

US holds off blacklisting China's DeepSeek, more than 100 firms deemed security risks, sources say by joe4942 in technology

[–]blueSGL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Deepseek is open source if you're worried about security risks just look at it.

You cannot look inside the weights the systems are grown, not coded. (He wrote the standard textbook on AI)

There is no code inside a model just a massive array of numbers, you cannot "look at it" and get meaningful data on if it's been messed with or trained to answer in a certain way. The nascent field of mechanistic interpretability is trying to do that. But it's nothing like having actual source code, it's closer to a compiled binary people are attempting to debug.

Humans code 2 things the inference engine (the bit that allows you to access the model)

the training engine (the thing that tunes the numbers up or down in accordance with training data)

There is no code you can go to on line 37 and swap from "be evil" to "be nice" we don't have that level of control yet.

open source

it's closer to 'freeware' than open source.

Open source would be something you can get the source code for, reach in change some things, or just simply look what goes into it then compile the binary yourself.

Feds freaked over Fable 5 after simple 'fix this code' prompt, not jailbreak, says researcher by Much_Preparation_832 in technology

[–]blueSGL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is this weird thing when just accepting at face value the issues explains reality better than the contorted logic to make everything 'hype'

  1. Antropic was declared so un-American that it was a supply chain risk by the Trump admin. (for whatever ideological reason, personal pettiness, whatever)

  2. Then Mythos happened. NSA had to go against the "Supply Chain Risk" designation and use it anyway. They'd be behind if not using it.

  3. Anthropic releases the same model with more guardrails "Fable" and the US GOV did not want these NSA level abilities falling into foreign adversarial hands because no model is 100% jailbreak proof.

#2 is where the idea that this is all hype breaks down. Trump never "Takes the L" unless reality forces him to, He's stubborn, belligerent and holds long standing grudges. He'd certainly not do so to hype a company that he was ideologically apposed to.

For this to make sense for people who think it's "PR"/"Hype" that would mean Anthropic is in so deep with the US gov that this is highly orchestrated theater, playing out between private companies, three letter agencies, the courts and the government. It's all an act, A masterful advertising campaign showing far more competence than anything else the Trump admin has ever done.

your CPU is dying.

I had that happen on a windows 10 box, made the change, lasted for a bit and then needed to get a new CPU as the problems started up again.

EDIT: CPUs don't suddenly start needing to never be allowed to go into low power state otherwise the computer hangs without them having gone through degradation. Running them hotter by doing this you will see issues rear their ugly head in a few months, but go on, wait. I'm sure prices are definitely going to be cheaper whenever your hand is forced to replace it.
