andrekorol··on AI Engineer Reading List
I appreciate the effort put into curating and maintaining this list, good job on that!

I’m curious, is there also some specific existing “AI Researcher Reading List” you would personally recommend? Or do you plan on making and maintaining one?

andrekorol··on Chrome, Firefox extension that blocks NSFW images using TensorFlow JS
This extension reminded me of that Black Mirror episode where a mother filtered what her daughter could see and hear.

Great work with TensorFlow by the way, can't wait to see this technology maturing over the years.

andrekorol··on A new funding model for open source software
If you're willing to move away from your proposed GitHub route, you could try implementing it on something like Gitcoin. The "wallet" you mentioned in the article could be a smart-contract that by the end of each month (or any desired period) would automatically make the donations directly to the crypto wallets of the projects that you chose to include in your sponsor pool.

That way, you jump over some of the implementational and regulatory hurdles. There would be no intermediary, such as GitHub, paying for the transaction fees. The transaction fees necessary for using the smart-contract on a given blockchain would be paid directly by the person making the donations.

I recommend taking a look at Gitcoin [0] and quadratic funding [1].

I can see this containerized future that you've envisioned solving a lot of the current performance problems of web apps.

That's a good use case for blockchain, in regards to the "consensus aggregation of data" that you mentioned.

"email as a replicating distributed database" sounds a lot like something that could now be approached with new blockchain technology.

I've never tried any psychedelic. But I am able to lucid dream sometimes, I just never got deep into it. I guess I should read more about it.

I agree with your second statement, this so-called dream machine sounds a lot like a future iteration of Facebook's Oculus Rift.

Yeah, now you almost got it right! Colab is a service provided by Google.

The funny thing is the high egress fees Google charges for transferring data between two of its services (GCS -> Colab).

The $10K/day was actually coming from the large egress fees they were getting for transferring the models and agents from Google Cloud Storage to the Colab notebooks. I think if you were to serve the game as a web app you definitely wouldn't need one instance of a 12 GB GPU for each user. But the thing about Colab is that you need a Google account to use it, and you run your own notebook, independent from the author's account.

After having read Rizwan Virk's "The Simulation Hypothesis", and playing this amazing new game, I can say that AI-generated text adventure games are an important step on the road to the Simulation Point (the point at which it would be technologically possible for us to construct a simulation that is all-encompassing as the one in The Matrix).

The game's GitHub page[1] states that you would need a "beefy" GPU ~12 GB and CUDA to play the game locally.

I think that's why the author was serving the game through Colab since the majority of users probably don't have a 12GB GPU.
