When I updated Chrome I started seeing adds and when I checked, Chrome had turned off uBlock Origin saying it was not supported. You just have to turn it back on in the extensions and its all ok, until the next update.
I am all for AI, and have been doing AI research for longer than most people here. But I can tell you that passing a few exams is not AGI. Sure it's one definition of an intelligent system. Chat GPT like systems are incredible and do posses more knowledge than any human and could pass the Turning Test, if you showed it to Alan Turning he would be amazed. But until you get embodied system that can make their own decisions, adjust and update their knowledge, store a life long of memories can use multi-model data, use many different decision making methods and are more autonomous, then you don't have real AGI. The Trillions spent on AI are not a waste and you will need to spend that to figure it all out. This is not a bubble and it's not going to burst, there are so many areas that this can be applied to. There is a real danger to fully autonomous systems, but that is where we are headed and you can't stop technology and progress.
Says right there, " According to [Yale instructor Ozan] Erat, the original [anonymous] donation that made CS50 possible ended in June 2024"
So basically, 'hey our funder is not giving us money, if you want to continue this, give us more money. '
Who cares if it's for the betterment of humanity.
Actually we do.
AI is not just for solving the hard problems in life. Like most people on
What we need in AI is to make your life easier by doing all those things that you don't want to do, but need to do.
It should know who you are and all your preferences and plan a suggest things for you, like:
Plan a trip.
Book a flight
Tell you what you need to by,
Help you fix your phone email connection settings.
tell you what is good to watch.
Take your phone calls and screen them,
Go thru and sort all your emails and summarize.
remind you of important things and even buy stuff for you.
Keep track if your life goals and suggest paths and places to expand your life.
know how you feel and is able to help you through issues.
Find a good book to read.
What good is it to me on a day-to day basis, if it tries to solve a hard engineering problem that, maybe will impact me in the future, but not tomorrow.
That was the dream of AI when this all started in the 60's, and people seemed to forget all that and just try to get rich..
Why is it that everyone keeps not understanding what R1 is. It's not a foundational model. It used all the current models and distills down from that, extracts reasoning with Reinforcement Learning techniques. The cost was smaller because of some shortcuts they made in the CUDA code, as they were doing Crypto mining with the cards they had. Also I'm sure they re not reporting all the costs associated with it.
So if a new bigger better foundational model is made, and you don't open source it, then it can and will outperform Deepseek with doing the same kinds of distillation. In face I'm sure OpenAI, Meta and others are already doing this based on Deepseek methods and will have a new model out within 3 months.
And they did use Nvidia cards, so Nvidia is not loosing out here.
Probably more like:
Meta Intelligence.
We tried to do this back in the early 90's with cognitive architectures and did a few. But the task of modeling thinking processes by different people 'leaders' was a little hard, and not always reliable. LLM's do provide more depth on what can be discussed with these models, and you can tell the LLM to act in certain ways. Your not expecting all answers to be 'correct' or like how they would talk, but asking general questions like, if someone did this, how would you react. The LLM can explain itself and you can run 1000's of iterations quickly. Its a powerful tool, LLM's and modeling leaders/decision makers or people in general, and will only get better as the models are refined with more data. You can even model your competitions decisions as a corporation. Turns out the humans do fall into pattern matching quite a bit, its when you push them to the limit that they start to make rash decisions.
If it was a programming error, I was trying to think what is significant with 24? Well it's the number of hours in a day, so maybe they used the time field instead of a year field. They wouldn't have an error until the year 25, when it rolled over to 0. back to the year 2000.
Finally about time we got the mouseaverse!
When GTA 6 comes out, then it's all going to be.. all Game Need realistic Graphics!
A bad game is a bad game, no matter the graphics.
Same here, started programming it on an Apple II+, I worked all summer long to make the money to buy in 1980. Did what I could programming it in BASIC, adventure games with graphics screens you that would pop up to show the story. I remember we used to Ctrl-C games and then change some of the data and continue it again. It was friendly cheating in a multiplayer, on same apple, space game, when the other person was in the other room
Yea Steam was not around for HL1. (Launched on Nov 19th 1998). They used a highly modded Quake engine (Doom (id Software) in real 3d basically). I don't remember activating HL2 thru steam (Launched Nov 16th,2004),but looking at my Member status it says Since Nov 16th, 2004, so I guess I did. HL2 used their own built Source Engine, so they could push the graphics and gameplay more. I have the boxes for both games, HL2 collectors edition actually came with a HL Hat. I will wear it in celebration. Both games were great and really pushed what could be done with characters and AI at the time. I actually was in the Room at GDC when Gabe announced Steam, it was small room, most people didn't know what was to come, but he was convinced that digital distribution was the future.
..when we need him. I wish more people would watch his videos on Youtube.
That is his plan is to take over things. Starlink was a plan to take over the Internet, and cell phone companies, and its on track. Reusable rockets are a plan to take over the airlines for long distance flights. Who would not want to go from LA to Paris in 1 hour. Or even if it's just cargo, USP, Universal Space Parcel (tm)
Hats off to a Silent Hero of the Internet revolution. And to all the others out there that did amazing stuff no one knows about.
Whoever dies with the most toys wins.
