@lmstudio MTP is cool, but I would like to see the TurboQuant.

@gdb It can be, but it has to provide unique capability. There will always be a market for the super-intelligence.

@davee_ola Game dev. here. The reason why people eventually pivot is because game dev is extremely stressful job. If its a "dream job" a lot people want to do it and because of that salaries are low, working hours are high and competition is massive. Also gaming market is very volatile.
English
Game development feels like the childhood dream many software engineers eventually pivot away from.
I wonder why.

@Minifilmflicks I can't believe Keanu did this. Calling this lame is an understatement.

@koltregaskes @jimstewartson Thank you for bringing this up. Every time somebody pulls the argument that the AI are just databases my eyes starts to roll. There is near infinite amount of valid combinations of works and sentences to create plausible looking outputs. The LLMs would have to be so much bigger.
English
I disagree. LLMs aren't literal databases pulling stored text. They compress patterns from training data and make new outputs from them. The recent OpenAI work on the Erdos unit distance problem turned up a fresh set of constructions mathematicians had missed for 80 years. That's not fuzzy search or human exhaust. It's something more. Call it intelligence or skip the label. Either way it clearly goes past plain remixing.
English
I’m getting tired of “experts” like this misunderstanding what they’re looking at.
LLMs are giant databases of stuff HUMAN BEINGS have done.
They are the EXHAUST of humanity.
Prompts are database queries into EXISTING DATA.
It’s a fuzzy search engine, not intelligence.

I am getting tired of reading 'experts' like LeCun repeatedly claiming that our AIs are nowhere near human-level intelligence. Let us look at the evidence. US universities rank students based on standardized tests like the SAT. Current AIs achieve near-perfect SAT scores. They also beat tests like the GRE. A few years ago, it was notable when early ChatGPT scored ~120 on an IQ test, a common measure of human intelligence. An IQ of 120 is well above average. Current AIs reportedly have IQ scores similar to those of leading scientists. It is not just in tests. I can ask an AI to produce a science paper that looks undistinguishable from what a PhD level student could do. I just have to give it the data. Better yet, from a prompt, agents can run the experiments and collect the data, and then write the papers. Those of us who try to get work done with AI know what is possible. You can't possibly just say 'this is nowhere near human-level intelligence'. In software, good AIs show a greater mastery of, say, C++, than your average software engineering professor. You could just build a formal test to prove it. The difficulty is that the professors would refuse to take your tests. At this point point, someone will object 'yeah, but your AI can't do this simple thing that we can all do'. Fine. These AIs do not have *human* intelligence. They are very much not human beings. They are something like alien intelligence. They can code straight in assembly language, but have trouble counting characters in words. But that's the result of trade-offs. A dog or a monkey can solve some problems faster than you can. But let us be fair. As a species, these AIs have definitively 'human-level intelligence'. You can't spend decades setting up cognitive tests for human beings, have these AIs beat us in these tests and then say 'well, that's not real intelligence'. Come on !
English
@jimstewartson Well, the issue with the testing is that you can get better at test by training for tests. Unfortunately, in reality tests are just approximations and being good at tests doesn't necessary translate to real-world skills. This is also true for humans.
English
@DaveShapi These conclusions are quite easy to make, it's just most people are so helplessly scared to face the reality and then you have people who have balls in the game like Jeff. It shows who is honest and who is not.

This is not actually Jevons paradox.
This is unmet demand, or latent demand.
Once the actual need for medical imaging is saturated, you don't just get more and more x-rays.
So either he's stupid or lying.
My bet is on lying. Billionaire goes on TV and says that the technology he's building won't hurt jobs. Uses fancy sounding economics terminology to confuse the masses.
Healthcare AI Guy@HealthcareAIGuy
Jeff Bezos argues that AI in radiology follows Jevons Paradox AI won’t replace radiologists, but rather increase demand for them by expanding what’s possible in medical imaging

@ryanlightbourn I think we are up to a whole new wave of entertainment :D

The irony is that this has me hyped to get some real actors in a booth.

@Ratul_AI Maybe .. Google just didn't have the Olympics in the dataset because of copyright issues. While China based company could train on anything they could put their hands on.

Google Omni vs Seedance 2.0 😳
Olympic Diving Test — Seedance 2.0 also wins this test!🔥
Prompt👇
Female Olympic diver from platform takeoff to mid-air perfect dive into blue pool, full sequence action, colorful swimsuit, dynamic shot.
Ratul Ali@Ratul_AI
Google Omni vs Seedance 2.0 🔥 watch this video and then tell me.. which one is better according to you?
English
@aicodeking @theo @antigravity The voice in the videos is yours? Or it's AI generated, or somehow AI processed? Asking for a friend :)
English
Antigravity is so unfinished that you can just click "View" > "Developer Tools" to open the Developer Tools of the Electron app. They didn't even remove that. (and who is writing this blob of class names in a production software by GOOGLE???).. @theo is right lol..

@xevekiah I was also wondering and asking my dad why he married such woman. I love my mom, but She was absolute hell to live with. This is probably no 1. reason why I respect my dad, he sacrificed for the family.
English
What changed me was watching my dad beg my mom not to leave after 14 years of marriage, and said she never really loved him. only to find out there was already someone else.
Months after they separated, he admitted he had known for a long time that there was another person. He just stayed quiet because he didn’t want our family to break apart.
One night he said, “If I didn’t have children, I would’ve ended my life already.”
That sentence never left me.
And yet somebody would still easily tell us “That’s still your mom.”
Fuck that.

@bchestnut78 @kristelxo Lets be honest most people will not be very happy. Being very happy is a form of art. It requires talent.
English
@kristelxo Your 40’s are the age that the decisions from your youth come knocking. Depending on the seeds you planted with your health and wealth…. You are either going to be very happy or very sad. Life is all about decisions.

English
Being 43 is wild. People your age are living completely different lives.
Some are grandparents. Some are raising toddlers. Some are newly divorced. Some are newly engaged. Some haven’t slept in three years. Some are in St. Tropez posting Aperol spritzes from a yacht.
Some look 25.
Some look like they personally remember the invention of Tupperware.
Nobody got the same assignment.
English
@kristelxo I would say those who had been dealing with kids are probably actually looking their age. Some of us got stuck in the self-improving phase. I am not complaining :)

@JSFILMZ0412 It's Google, to prevent being sued, they don't allow violence, driving fast or even fast movements. :D
English
@ChrisWillx Violence except a very very narrow band of cases is either stupid or weak and stupid. So I guess unless you are a sociopath the correlation here makes total sense.

Why you can’t mass produce elite special operators for the military.

@Its_Nova1012 It doesn't matter if it's better than you in 3 years. It only needs to be "good enough" and cheaper. Which it is already. So, if you don't have job already you are probably fucked already.

I obviously don't know what Bratislava was like 40 years ago, but I can tell you that Bratislava today is one of the best and safest cities I have ever been in
