The possibility of creating an autonomous agent with current level hardware is not as far-fetched as it may seem. A single adept engineer could conceivably construct such an agent by amalgamating insights from disparate papers that have been divulged in the field of artificial intelligence. These papers may contain novel algorithms, techniques, or architectures that could be integrated into a coherent and functional system. Moreover, the open source implements that are available today, such as langchain/flow and pinecone db (or similar), could provide the necessary tools and frameworks to assemble an architecture that is self augmenting and self refining. Such an architecture could leverage the power of distributed computing, natural language processing, and machine learning to improve its own performance and capabilities over time. This could potentially enable the agent to surpass the optimal human capacities at most undertakings, or at least match them.

Literally just worked through this today manually as a proof of concept, using the LLM to augment the DB schema with comments describing any relevant info or corner cases. I'm essentially just manually feeding it as context to my prompts when I need to know something related to that set of tables, but it seems pretty powerful. Automating this is going to be nuts.

How do you feel about the lend-lease aid to the Soviet Union during WW2?

Look into llama-index

Right. I tried to source a fuel cell for a project just to see how practical it would be...no fucking way at the moment. It's ~40-60k to get a reasonable amount of power out of them right now.

A simple 1kw fuel cell is sitting at like ~6k.

You can read the studies and if you are educated on the topic, you can analyze it, or reproduce the study. That's the point of science. It's supposed to be open for those who want to do the work.

Oh man, I wish you could see what you look like from the outside looking in.
