I think having an ability to communicate verbally is more important. Not just translating a sentence into sound, but storytelling, intonation, comedic timing, etc.

I dont trust neither Musk, nor OpenAI. I really dont care about him, and I believe it would have been a lot better if the letter was only signed by people directly involved in the research, as the guys from Deep Mind.
The presence of business people there just geopardized the whole thing. And they haven't even wrote it.

If Kurzweil forecasting skills are good enough maybe he knew that selling the book this summer would make him the most money lol

Exactly. That’s more or less what I meant.

>This letter is basically the equivalent of the early 20th petition by scientists that asked to limit and regulate the proliferation of nuclear weapons. And yet, its being sold as a capitalist stratagem to gain time.
Oh, if this is what the media is saying then they're right for once. Capitalist gain, trying to get more time to milk their accolades whatever.

If we all sign the LAION petition, we will get whatever we want. But someone will disrupt the game industry soon for sure. I hope they get rid of the text prompts too. Why can't we just upload some rough sketches instead? Or other files.

Uh, ok. (Old man grumbles about having worked at two AAA studios and several small game companies, including one he co-founded. Started in QA and ended as lead game designer before leaving the industry for more lucrative work.)

Decentralize, not democratize.
Democratize is a midwit, corporate buzzword.

It is a ploy for Musk to catch up though. He hates openAi for not making him ceo: https://www.semafor.com/article/03/24/2023/the-secret-history-of-elon-musk-sam-altman-and-openai
He withdrew funding and is launching a competitor, these 6 months are perfect for him to catch up.
Also most of the funding for that institute that created this letter comes from... You guessed it... Elon Musk

you may be able to run a custom version of Llama instead of using GPT. You could even train in on GPT3.5. Just tell GPT its a character from the game, build your data set from its answers and use it like Alpaca does.

So basically it should just be an outdoor summer camp year round, with some learning still involved. I’m sure it’ll focus more on wellbeing and play, as well as exercise and sports.

"Also, none of you actually compute 5x3 = 15. You just know the answer."
Yes, you are using a mental hash table, which have an expected access time complexity of O(1). GPT can also do this, it has already memorized a huge amount of data. However, ArcticWinter's statement remains correct: for non-O(1) questions that it has not yet memorized, it is IMPOSSIBLE for the current GPT versions to calculate the answer.
Of course, it can still guess and come pretty close, but it will never be certain of the answer.

The NPCs usually shrug it off and downplay it. Some of the worst NPC actually compare it to crypto.
Only met a few main characters and they all were very impressed and starting thinking about how it’ll be integrated into everyday life.

I asked Chat-GPT to organize my thoughts around this as it was too much to write, and I am lazy right now.
Here is what I think, I am very positive to LAIONs proposal and it is what I hope for AI.
Anyways here are my some of my thoughts but written by Chat-GPT
The internet was once a publicly funded project, created with the goal of enabling open communication and information-sharing for the public good. However, over time it became increasingly privatized, with corporations and other private entities investing heavily in it and developing their own platforms and services. This has led to a range of problems, from data privacy concerns to the spread of misinformation and the concentration of power in the hands of a small number of tech giants. In this post, I want to argue that a publicly funded AI network, as proposed by the LAION initiative, could be the key to ensuring a fair and open future for all.
The privatization of the internet:
When the internet was first created, it was viewed as a public good that could be used to connect people around the world, share knowledge and information, and promote the common good. However, as the internet evolved and became more central to our lives, corporations and other private entities began to invest heavily in it. They built their own platforms, services, and apps, and began to compete fiercely for users and advertising revenue. This has led to a situation where a small number of companies - like Google, Facebook, and Amazon - now have a huge amount of power over what information we see, how we communicate, and even what products we buy.
Problems with the current model:
The privatization of the internet has led to a range of problems, some of which are becoming increasingly urgent. For example:
Data privacy: Private companies have access to vast amounts of our personal data, which they can use to target us with ads, sell to third parties, or even use for nefarious purposes like identity theft.
Online harassment: Social media platforms have become hotbeds of online harassment, with users routinely facing abuse, threats, and even doxxing.
Misinformation: With so much information available online, it can be difficult to distinguish between what is true and what is false. This has led to the spread of conspiracy theories, fake news, and other forms of misinformation that can have serious real-world consequences.
Concentration of power: The fact that a small number of corporations have so much power over the flow of information online raises concerns about censorship, bias, and the potential for abuse.
LAION's proposal:
The LAION initiative proposes a different model for the internet, one that is publicly funded and open to all. Specifically, they are proposing the creation of a publicly funded AI network that would be available for use by anyone who wants to build applications or services using AI. The idea is that this network would be owned and controlled by the public, rather than by private corporations.
Ensuring corporate accountability:
While the idea of a publicly funded AI network is certainly appealing, one major concern is how to ensure that corporations do not restrict or control it. After all, we have seen how private companies have taken control of the internet despite its origins as a publicly funded project. One possible approach to this problem is to establish strict regulations around how the network can be used and who has access to it. For example, we could require that any company using the network agree to certain terms of service, including a commitment to openness and transparency. We could also establish an independent oversight board to ensure that the network is being used in a fair and equitable way.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, a publicly funded AI network could be the key to ensuring a fair and open future for all. By creating a network that is owned and controlled by the public

Who knows for sure, but I definitely take it with a grain of salt since the plugin was shown as unverified and it showed no real detail. I still think it's just around the corner, though!
