Nice to be in robotics while everyone else is going crazy over language models

Are there use cases of GenAI people like that isn't generic AI slop? I've found short stories narrated on YouTube good if the content I written by humans and if the voiceover is good but bad if the stories are AI generated.

Sorry to hear that

Yeah category error. The traditions I study don't consider intelligence to be the ineffable mystery but consciousness or sunyata or nirguna Brahman. Intelligence in traditions like yoga are hardly mentioned maybe under name and form and considered the outer layers of the mind I believe.

I'm just surprised the spicy kind made it to that part of the world!

Huh I didn't realize paprika is chili that got adapted by Hungarians. It's amazing how the peoples of the world adapt plants to their local environment.

Netflix's Pantheon seems to borrow a lot of themes from non dual traditions interesting story

How does feed ranking work here? Without algorithmic ranking does that mean one has to have a separate account for each topic?

Does this mean 95% are now reviewer number 2s 🤣

Something weird is happening with LLMs and chess are they good or bad?

Why are some LLMs better at chess than others

We've released our paper "Generating 3D-Consistent Videos from Unposed Internet Photos"! Video models like Luma generate pretty videos, but sometimes struggle with 3D consistency. We can do better by scaling them with 3D-aware objectives. 1/N

Chaos Monkey (Netflix) but for government instead of compute

Oh that is a good tip!

Our upcoming SIGGRAPH Asia paper explores refining 3D shapes using text descriptions. For example, we transform the spheres and cylinders on the left into a detailed teddy bear! 🧸

Read on for more details in the thread! 👇

I don't like lists because it constrains people to only post on one topic. I hope they come up with some other mechanism for feeds that doesn't have this herding behavior.

That's a billion dollar question 🤣

This might only make sense under different axioms from physicalism such as yogachara mind only schools or Kastrup's analytic idealism where the brain is an organ of perception rather than a generator for consciousness.

I have sort of a related goal of exploring inner worlds using these models. For example the fire kasina phenomenology of the Theravada described in the Visudhimagga can be explored with a model of convolutional neural networks instead of biology. It's all a kind of psycho cosmology.

I like not skating where the puck is heading, be in strategic spaces is another alternative so whoever has the puck can redirect it to you when the time comes.

Haha as a recsys guy I of course want to play with my own ranking algorithms for my own feed

Quick start guide to building applications on AT Protocol - AT Protocol In this guide, we're going to build a simple multi-user app that publishes your current "status" as an emoji.

The quick start shows how to listen to the firehose. If you can listen you can sort and rank atproto.com/guides/appli...

AT Protocol

I am new to this platform too but it is built upon open protocols so in principle there might be something in the docs on how to run your own server and feed ranking. I don't know but the at protocol site is here atproto.com

Fascinating, Egyptian mythology combined with ideas of void. Reminds me of Josephine McCarthy 's concept of the abyss with all kinds of ancient beings in it.

I wonder if this is part of the AT protocol. Seems like a fun project to hack on, I might do it one day

It's in the feeds button

I'm up 1100+ followers on BlueSky in less than 3 weeks and down 150 followers on X posting the exact same content.

If you are working in data:

- BlueSky is the place to connect with other developers
- LinkedIn is where to reach industry contacts
- X is just not where your audience is any longer

The grand plan to regress the brain, which according to @tyrellturing.bsky.social, is working just fine.

So is this what understanding the brain means? The better the ANN fits the brain data the more we understand the brain?

Lol
