Ya love to see it.
Even if it's just open weights and not "true" open source, I'll still give Meta the appreciation of being one of the few big AI companies actually committed to open models. In an ecosystem where groups like Anthropic…
Unfortunately, there are a number of AI safety people that are still crowing about how AI models need to be locked down, with some of them loudly pivoting to talking about how open source models aid China. Plus there's…
They're actually updating their license to allow LLAMA outputs for training! https://x.com/AIatMeta/status/1815766335219249513
Hasn't really happened with PyTorch or any of their other open sourced releases tbh.
They've been working on AI for a good bit now. Open source especially is something they've championed since the mid 2010s at least with things like PyTorch, GraphQL, and React. It's not something they've suddenly…
BD's success or lack thereof with Atlas is to be seen, given that the electrically actuated one is so recent and they're backed by Hyundai who've show desire in driving down the cost.
16k for a humanoid is insanely low. Guess China's aiming to dominate the humanoid robot market like they did with drones.
The bottleneck for bioterrorism isn't AI telling you how to do something, it's producing the final result. You wanna curtail bioweapons, monitor the BSL labs, biowarfare labs, bioreactors, and organic 3D printers.…
As said every time this "why are we automating creativity when menial jobs exist?" response comes up: 1) Errors in art programs messing up is less worrisome than a physical robot. One going wrong makes extra fingers in…
Yeah, ChatGPT is such a clinical name for a consumer facing app. Especially considering how easy AI stuff is to anthropomorphize. Google had the right idea with Bard and Gemini.
No one, not the most screen addicted teenager nor the smarmiest snake-oil beauracrat, is gonna stand by ANYONE that suggests we need to remove ALL computers from society. Even the people critical of AI and social media…
The safety movement really isn't as organized as many here would think. Doesn't help that safety and alignment means different things to different people. Some use it to refer to near term issues like copyright…
Pretty sure they do. I follow a few of these safetyist people on twitter and they absolutely argue that companies like OpenAI, Google, Tencent and literally anyone else training a potential AGI should stop training runs…
Wish this wasn't as common as it turned out to be sadly. Best thing to hope for is that the ability to train models continue to get cheaper and more accessible over time. Figuring out how to go from tens/hundreds of…
Companies move slow, especially as they get bigger. Just because a google engineer wants to yoink some open source inferencing innovation for example, doesn't mean they can just jam it into Gemini and have it rolled out…
The unfortunate truth of a lot of weapon bans is that they happen when civilian anger or fear outstrips military need, and are therefore less likely to be argued for. No army really argues for hollowpoints nowadays,…
But by being alternate history, you're already conditioning the audience to expect divergences and that presents a great opportunity to explore more varied alternatives that were being thrown around in the post-Apollo…
I had some gripes with the way the timeline developed later on (like why in a world where Saturn Vs and Sea Dragons are getting launched, are space shuttles exactly like our world getting made? And getting launched to…
Definitely an amazing resource for people writing hard scifi.
So long as you append the "PC" part to the name, no one will associate it to the Nazi thing. "PC Master Race" is pretty casual and more importantly unserious internet term that's just become a self-deprecting name for…
Looking silly is the one critique of VR I just don't get. Your in the safety of your own home and either A) live alone or B) live with a significant other/parents/roommates. In which case, who cares what they think you…
It pretty much stole social media headlines with just a post saying "tune in a few days for our next VR game". Valve have plenty of clout still, and Half-Life still draws plenty of eyes.
If we're stretching things to go with the earliest examples of the tech, then computers go back even further with ENIAC in the 1940s. Even earlier if you count electromechanical devices.
