Well these topics can become heated, and it may take away from the subreddit at times. If everyone is respectful and level-headed I think these conversations can still be had.

90% this post will be get locked/banned, tends to happen whenever these subjects are discussed (def. with politics).

There's a short story called The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect that's about a post singularity society where, among others things, people can alter their looks at will. During one part of the story, the protagonist remarks that a person who she had know pre-singularity (as her nurse-aid) had altered herself to look like a supermodel, but because most people had made similar alterations, it was considered boring.

Sweet, keep em coming.

nail on head

damn i wish i could read

when do you think that will happen?

Not really interested in this, full dive or gtfo.

we don't know man, how could we?

Can you?

I'm not chinese and cannot help

Just playing devil's advocate, what if the language also went? And most of the culture, however one defines that.

“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

I enjoy optimism tempered with caution and free debate. To be honest it seems like most of reddit and other 'internet' communities have enrolled themselves into a mental hospice. r/collapse is probably the worst, counting the days until the end.

lol, wait until China/Russia/North Korea start getting into that shit and getting results. It's easy to wax philosophically when your enemies don't have the good shit yet.

>the recent news about deepmind

Fill me in? Is this about Gato 2?

"If you describe something as state-of-the-art (SOTA), you mean that it is the best available because it has been made using the most modern techniques and technology."

At least that's how I take it. So, the people writing the abstract seem to claim that their model does better than any other model to date. Anyone else feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

The abstract says it achieved SOTA performance, has anyone else reviewed these claims?

This seems significant. Not trying to hype this up (not a expert in LM, so I may be overstating it) but a machine improving itself is really the heart of the singularity.

Interesting, how is sure that multi-modal models will be released later this year if he's not the one releasing them? Multi-modal means texts, pictures, touch and stuff like that combined into one?

We are already living in GPT-4.

What does the Y-axis mean here, what would be considered '1' (as opposed to .88)?

Beg. of the end? Maybe. Whole sale replacement as of current date? No. So basically I agree with you.

I think we have a few programmers in the sub, I hope they give their opinion.

Honestly don't want it to happen, but we're eventually going to go extinct anyway. This could be a last shot at something good.
