Click on the Recollections page, it has a bunch of real vintage Unix (etc.) computers you can log into.

Just pretending that AI doesn't exist or doesn't matter is one way to go. I think we might be getting close to an era where some people section off areas of land or the internet and ban AI and humanoid robots in that area. I know

Maybe check out Mastodon, Matrix, (new) Freenet, etc.

1. Popularity != Merit and this site is not different. A lot of worthy posts get ignored. 2. Even though I find most of the AI posts interesting, I agree that tags and the ability to filter by tags would be really great. But it's proba

He was extremely skeptical of the capabilities of AI for years but eventually came around to calling it truly capable after testing advanced LLMs. He is still an AI skeptic in as many ways that he can reasonably be, but doesn't deny th

Try Qwen 3.8 27b or the antirez ds4 0731 quants Can run on MacBook m5 or new m5 studio or m5 studio ultra or rtx 6000 pro.

This is really interesting and a fun read, but the way they mix in dated psychology around this historical figure in a serious way without much reference to subsequent work adds up to pretension.

They're not weird at all given his worldview. It's Nazism. From his book to his public statements and actions, he consistently expresses this. The only thing he does not do is use the literal language that is not accepted. But the

What task do you think that humanoid robots can't do? Also, we don't need fully equivalent touch to get useful performance. If you look you will see a really broad range of tasks accomplished already, including thing like manipula

There is rapid progress in generality in humanoid robotics though. I think within the next year or less we will get the ChatGPT moment for humanoid robots. If you look at progression of capabilities such as the recent Skild AI demos.

I agree that LLMs are unlikely to be the final form for AGI, but what you are talking about is orthogonal to the IQ and for most cases general utility. It's like looking at a savant chained to a workstation reading tasks from a conveyo

Gemini 3.8 which just came out sounds like it's very good and a great deal though.

One big issue actually is that HF has the llama.cpp team, which is (was?) arguably the biggest threat to Nvidia's dominance through it's closed CUDA software.

Edited to say "I think". I think that because I have been looking hard for developments in humanoid robotics generalization and new impressive demos and capabilities keep popping up all the time. For example the recent Skild AI fa

Unless the model watermarks text, it will become increasingly difficult to tell the difference between human legalese and AI legalese. Especially if they make it illegal, that will create a strong incentive to find-tune to imitate human law

They can use human writers and also LLM-based multi-step scoring systems with analytical guidelines.

They just haven't got to it yet. It's not a high priority but eventually they will make a solid effort on easier style guidance and more humanization. They will probably drop the most worn ou constructs like "not X, not Y, bu

I think the ChatGPT moment for humanoid robotics is coming within a year or two.

It's just a really fascinating topic in general and in a well known publication so the article gives us a good excuse to discuss it despite it's flaws. Maybe the flaws make it more engaging because it's less intimidating.

You need to break down what type of consciousness or qualia. To me it's maybe feasible that a vision language model or LLM has some type of maybe very limited qualia, but it's very different from what an animal like a human experi

Why do they keep letting Tyson's frozen garbage through? The processed chicken "honey tenders" are great but most of the supposedly less processed frozen chicken I have bought from them recently has been nasty.

Yeah but is it really even as good as Rubin? Seems just competitive.

Some technologies will definitely be much faster and much more power efficient. They haven't come out of research or if they have they have not been scaled yet, so it's not 100% proven. But it looks likely for multiple options to

Those are amazing accomplishments but I am more interested in research developments in things like In-Memory (Analog) or other different approaches. Companies like EnCharge, Mythic, etc. And much more efficient devices like RRAM, MRAM, and

Google is telling me it doesn't support Nvidia drivers out of the box. That functionally defines it as a vanity project. Aside from the more surface level vanity.

I really want a good local LLM setup. It's kind of funny now that the best deal for LLMs is an M5 Macbook, Macs have become very uncool, especially I have been running Linux on my computers for over a decade. I guess people who aren&#x

This is not a normal small model. It's in a different category of tiny.

This is not an LLM obviously , it's just for generating random names. But interesting to think of the possibilities of truly tiny language models if there were connected together.
