I mean, it’s either American (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic) Billionaires or Chinese (Alibaba, Z. AI) Billionaires making the models.

And even if you find a model not built by the billionaire class, you still require datacenters to train the models.

And even then, the data required to build these models must take from millions of artists/writers/etc.

I’m not saying you have to hate AI, but saying you can run a model locally doesn’t change who created it and how they created it.

I feel like it probably breaks one of your rules, but an ironman or gundam suit would be great. For the ironman angle I guess you could just say the repulsors since that gives you flight while still being offensive.

I mean, nailgun has “gun” in it, but we don’t consider those weapons. Sure they could be used that way, but so can most industrial tools/equipment.

I mean, the assault on her citizenship is an intimidation tactic, I’m just saying her moving isn’t necessarily her giving into the intimidation. It doesn’t sound like shes backing down from the fight in any meaningful way, so moving seems more about control than anything else.

I would worry they bugged my home if I was her. I’m not sure the move is over intimidation, but lack of trust/security in the current place.

Does the ending make it worth it? I watched it on a plane and bailed after I saw enough abuse at the beach, but could be tempted to give it another try if the ending at least provides some decent closure or meaning to the story.

Robot Dreams is so depressing and unnecessarily cruel that I wouldn’t recommend it. Maybe things pick up by the end, but I couldn’t make it through it.

It’s a linear game, but I enjoyed it a lot. Not sure if the parrying is more forgiving or if the timing for parrying is just more direct, but I found it a lot easier to get into the rythmn compared to sekiro.

I think it’s more likely they make it dangerous enough that large countries can’t afford to not have it. That’s what largely seems to be happening in the US and China, both countries probably see AI as both a weapon and defensive tool.

My response was only in regard to the speed in which something like IoT devices can operate.

You’re right that goals/directions of LLMs can be persisted anywhere, but a swarm or fleet of AI running on IoT devices will be severly hampered by compute (based on current models). Which was the main point I was making, in that there is only so much you can do to distribute their processing. Meaning you can parallelize the number of models, but can’t speed them up beyond a certain limit. This is based on the fact that some form of a layer and it’s weights must exist within the memory of a single device.

The downside to this limitation is that it is temporary, eventually IoT devices will probably be powerful enough, or the worms could just attack phones/laptops and easily get the compute they need. I think the real risk of IoT devices is low security mixed with low “supervision” (no one would easily notice their IoT device is doing extra processing).

This is like the like the “9 women in one month to make a baby” comment.

There is only so much you can distribute the layers of a model due to interconnectedness. And you can’t run multiple inferences at the same time because the next token relies on the previous.

You could be doing multiple things at once, but each task will run “100,000x” if the OC did their math right.

Came to say the exact same thing, the only scam (with any real college, no for-profit/etc. colleges) is the cost. If you can go for cheap/can afford it, college is a great thing to do and a great way to better yourself.

It reminds me of when Netflix was big and I told everyone they’d have commercials eventually. Sure you can still buy a plan without commercials, but I suspect that eventually, when money gets really tight for them, will go away.

Same thing here. Right now passkeys are “open”, but who is to say my bank won’t require a Apple/Google managed passkey in the future. Hell, I can’t run the bank app without running a Apple/Google approved apk.

The biggest issue with TLJ that I don’t see brought up a lot is that it left no where for the story to go.

We enter the movie with the First Order the only force in the galaxy after only destroying a few planets in the last movie, and somehow the resistance is even smaller than it was before.

We end the movie without really anything changing (except the resistance is even smaller - like 20 people).

Unless it was going to be four movies, TLJ doesn’t leave a lot of directions for the story. It basically has to be Rey trying to decapitate the head of the First Order by killing Ben. Rise of Skywalker fails because TLJ didn’t do anything to move the plot, forcing two movies worth of plot into one.

No its about traditional physics based models vs Machine Learning models (or AI). Google’s model isn’t using LLMs, but still uses deep learning models to predict the weather. Per the article:

At that point, many of the physics-based computer models, which rely on mathematical equations describing how the atmosphere works to simulate future weather conditions, were vacillating between different projections but generally forecasting a weaker storm that would take a different track than the DeepMind and other AI models were showing.

The original commentors point is valid in that we just call everything AI right now. While it’s not a terrible term for ML models, the general public largely associates AI with LLMs which is a misnomer.

I run Kogma alongside AudioBookShelf, but have ended up reading most manga directly from AudioBookShelf. The reader is hit or miss, but syncing works great and you can download comics/books for when youre on the go (and it will also sync progress when you reconnect).

The major downside is AudioBookshelfs opinions on directory structure. Requires a fair amount of work reorganizing content.

Just recently finished Big Hops.

Its a really good 3D platformer that gives slight Mario Odyssey vibes in terms of big open world areas to explore. A lot od good movement mechanics and feels fresh from start to finish.

Yeah, there are implicit and explicit biases at every stage of these models. The training data they collect, how they clean and use their training data, the actual training methodology, the prompts to literally alter the final output.

That’s not to mention the main things LLM aren’t aware of, which is who are you as a person. An LLM doesn’t know nor can it understand your life experiences and how that shapes your opinions on who is best to represent you. Handing over cognition like this is basically throwing away your vote as you’ve forfeited one of the major methods you have to influence your government.

Glad to hear I’m not the only person who has had some difficulties. And yeah, you are right that it should be fine for hosting services, which is why I mentioned my specific use cases.

However, I think calling out lack of support is always a good thing as you never know what support you may need down the road. I definitely have run into some issues due to their supported OS I’m running and its surprisingly out of date for a board that only released a couple years ago.

Yeah, looking at the stats, it’s actually probably one of the safer days for kids to be pedestrians given the amount of extra miles walked by kids on Halloween.

You’d really want this to be fatalities by miles walked, rather than raw fatalities.
