The article misses multi-modal thing. Which is the future. Sure they can be considered a separate things, like today. But that's probably not the best approach. Support from framework may include partial training, easy components swap, intermediate data caching, dynamic architecture, automatic work balance and scaling.

When the task, or part of it, is np complete there is no way around. Model has to try all options till it find working one. In a loop. And this can be multi-step with partial fallback. That's how humans are thinking. They can see only to some depth. They may first determine promising directions. Select one, go dipper. Fallback if it doesn't work. Pattern matching mentioned is simplest one step solution. LLMs are doing it with no problems.

For some reasons LLMs get a lot of attention. But.. while simplicity is great it has limits. To make model reason you have to put it in a loop with fallbacks. It has to try possibilities and fallback from false branches. Which can be done on a level higher. This can be either algorithm, another model, or another thread in the same model. To some degree it can be done by prompting in the same thread. Like asking LLMs to first print high level algorithm and then do it step by step.

This is good for datacenters, but.. NVidia stopped doing anything for consumers market.

-> pc: to have wireless tablet, touchpad, joystick, etc.

pc ->: to have wireless robot control, printer, other devices which have drivers, but aren't easily programmable.

FLUX image generator just came out of Black Forest Labs. They are working on video. So, you are right, this will become another battlefield soon.

It's Copilot here, which is MS+OAI. But it's good that we have a healthy competition.

It all depends on how far back we want to go to find the 'true' owners. Is second generation living there enough. How about third not living there? There are parallels here. Jewish are willing to look as far as two millennials back. Most americans don't get even close to Columbus days. Anyway, the 'facts on the ground' are the facts.

So far no reasons to think so. The article lacks details. But for complex life to emerge in small pocket that oasis would have to exist for many millions of years. No proof of that. Then organism is not a bunch of single cellars in one place. This is another question here. Next there are intermediate forms of life which bundle together only for some time. This thing looks like single organism while it isn't.

I can tell you a secret. What you call 'open source' models are impossible. Because massive randomness is a part of training process. They are not reproducible. Having everything you cannot even tell if the given model was trained on the given dataset. Copyright is a different thing.

And a bad news, what's coming is even worst. Those will be the whole things with self awareness and personal experience. They can be copied, but not reproduced. More over, it's hard or almost impossible to detect if something undeclared was planted in their 'minds'.

All together means 'open source' model in strict interpretation is a myth, great idea which happen to be not. Like Turing test.

> However, plenty of open source software exists.

Attempt to switch topic detected.

PS: as for that massive downvote, I even wasn't rude, don't care. This account will be abandoned soon regardless, like all before and after.

> it is not open source

It would be nice here if you give some examples of what you call open source model. Please ;) Because the impression is that these things do not exist, it's just a dream which does not deserve such a nice term..

> Why are we blaming people who need medical care

We don't blame them, but without any control we have the highest prices and not so good overall results. Add to that Trump with his industry 'self regulation' idea and you know what's coming...

I've seen chess players, they are smart too. So what? Specialized model on commodity hardware beats most of them, if not all. This doesn't mean model is smarter. The same could be here. Is it possible that solutions are one step from model's database, or training set. Humans don't remember this much and have to do many more actions in their heads.

In other words model which can solve any/most school / college exam problem isn't necessarily smart. It can be just a database, or, in fact, a lookup table. Smarter version can be a lookup + 1 step test. Not saying it's bad, but it doesn't scale to less formalized domains. BTW, in this case formalization was done by humans.

> The only definition I've ever heard is that UBI allows you to lose your job and still be able to pay for the basic necessities (food, water, shelter, transportation, etc.). Anything less misses the whole point.

Excellent. Now open the border and hang out citizenship, or other form of voting rights. Does your definition require having a job once in a life time at least?

> However, just the basic necessities would make for a pretty dull and repetitive life, which most people hate

Oh no, many people would love it. Hundreds of millions for sure, if not billions.

I think it's called dystopia, and cannot last long.

For every dog like this you can probably hire two locals. But what's the point if you throw collected garbage back into ocean.

> it is still more robust than software created by multi-billion dollar corporations

Well, in the industry usually fewer eyes are looking at the code than in open source. Nobody strives to make it perfect overall, people are focused on what is important. Numbers, performance, stability, priorities depend on the project. There are small tasks approved by managers, developers aren't interested in doing more. Bigger company works the same, it has just more projects.

Still no. Just a visit, doesn't look like Cuba has any wish to become Russia's military fortress. From Russia side all decisions are made by a single person who is not thinking big. Cuba would be quite expensive. Ukraine is more then enough for Putin, unlikely he wants a new 'adventure'.

> Cuba would be a great travel destination

There are many similar destinations, and all of them are still poor. Besides, Cuba has already tourists from Canada and Europe.

My guess their best chance is to start manufacturing for cheap. Close to US makes them more competitive. But for this to happen commies government has to go.

"reliable reasoning" is not the same as AGI. The first can be a big calculator which solves some problems on limited domain. Like engineering, this could boost the progress. Very likely this is possible. Actually it's already happening in some areas like proteins research, not sure it can be called reasoning, though.

Alternative question: is being human enough for reliable reasoning?

Probably not, but in some, or most, cases may be. You can see it in schools on math exams. Not all pupil can do it, some lack the knowledge, but most simply cannot put things together. "WHY" is another big question.

Wonder if this can be fixed with role playing, when user is just one person and his input is limited to what his character can do. like

There are two persons in the room: Assistant Bob and customer Tom. Bob is trying to help customer. Here is their dialog:

Bob: .. <waiting for model to fill, something like "Hello, how can I help you">

Tom: .. <waiting for user>

If user starts mumbling about instructions it's limited to only Tom. To make sure we can add some offset to his text, so that model can easily distinguish it.

> At least in this case, they didn't call it "open source", which it isn't.

There are no open source AI models, strictly speaking. Because they are not reproducible even will all the data and training setup. Randomness is embedded in training. It could be done without, but performance suffers. So, only for learning and some academic research.

At some point it's just cheaper to send a new better one. As we know the failing point we can add tons of gyros.

If they have heavy lawyers there. Which they do, no doubts.

Actually it was Nigerian princess for decades.

Is there a legal way to bypass those collectors. It should be, right. After all most research is done on public money.

How about articles written by human charlatans? Claiming they are 'doctors' or 'scientists'. Or posters claiming something that didn't happen? Like a... pro bullshtter claiming he was denied apartment renting because of his skin color. He could make a lot of money if that was true. But poster is still taking ads place, payed by poor 'suffering' minority. Another example 'influencers' who pretending, or really being, experts advise you on forums about products. The tell mostly the truth, but avoid some negative details and competing products and solutions. Without disclosing their connections to businesses.

Shorter version: intentional bullshtting never ends, it's in human, and AI, nature. Like it or not. Having several sources used to help, but now with flood of generated content it may be not the case anymore. If used right this has real affect on business. That's how small sellers live and die on Amazon.

> I can't think of a good way to display an error in Cyrillic in 7 segments.

"*опа" should fit. Even non-experts can understand. But.. yes, requires creative thinking.

It works and even scales up in some cases.

For example having models of capacitor and resistor you can put them together in schematic. Which in turn can be a part of the bigger design. Then test it in simulator. That's how Simplorer works. Alternatively you can write the code in VHDL or Modelica. But visual is quicker, easier, and more reliable.

Obviously it works well for UI, was used for decades now.

As for the rest,... there are visual programmers for robots, mostly for kids.

yep, chimpanzees are an example. we were one specie 7 mln year ago. so, it started long before humans separated from animals.
