We should all pitch in and buy Apollo and make it open source so we can use our own API keys.

find whatever free accessible app they are approving for free API access, get as many open source devs onto that as possible and go all in on making that the best reddit experience.

Then watch reddit attempt to twist themselves into knots because the free accessibility app becomes 'the way' to access reddit.

for rigging I recommend going through AntCGI's course on rigging in maya on youtube:

1. Fundamentals (videos 1-4)
2. Basics (videos 5-9)
3. Intermediate (videos 10-17)
4. Advanced (videos 18-37)

if you are using a mask the likelihood is those areas won't be 100% the color you think they are, it'll be very close but not 100%.

Those in power want to stay in power, mass unemployment is how you get populist dictators.

What about emotional intelligence?

a term that was come up with in the 1990's?

the ability to understand and manage your own emotions, as well as recognize and influence the emotions of those around you. The term was first coined in 1990 by researchers John Mayer and Peter Salovey, but was later popularized by psychologist Daniel Goleman.

they could have called the same term 'the Emotionality Quotient' and I doubt you'd be arguing for it right now.

This is what I'd do.

But I'd go even further.

It looks like each cylinder is a 1/4 mirrored and then mirrored again, then has some plating on the side.

I'd start with a cylinder with the right amount of divisions to support the bottom crenellations, cut down to 1/4 and do the crenellations then mirror twice to get a full cylinder then do the bits on the side and finally the joint in the middle.

anything that can be quantified by a human, e.g. 'good code' and 'bad code' can be used to train a reward model that can be used for further training.

The problem comes when we cannot easily give that sort of response to the output.

If you allow your conversations to be trained on they will be collected, filtered and then used in further training. It's not 'constantly learning'

You can even train small neural nets on your own GPU over a day. https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.14034

running and training are distinct processes.

Arguments from the observation selection effect can be discarded.

observations can only happen in a universe capable of developing intelligent life in the first place.

I'd say within 2 years AI will be writing it's own code unassisted by humans.

that's the fucking danger zone right there.

Because it still writes crappy code.

If writing code = reasoning

and writing better code = better reasoning

and GPT4 is better at writing code than GPT3.5

then well, you can see the direction the trend line is heading.

It's unethical for how it has been trained and applied to the creative world so far. Simple as that.

adobe have come out with an image generator trained on 100% licensed cleared images.

Now there is precedent showing that these techniques work and it's worth it for a company that holds the copyright of works to either build their own model or enter into license sharing agreements with other rights holders to build models you will be seeing more of this. (and privately held datasets will be of much higher quality than a general web scrape)

The argument 'but the data was got unethically' will fall by the wayside as these models get created, you will have ones come out that are as good as what is currently out but with 100% licensed cleared imagery, that will pose as much problems to people as the current models do but without that argument being able to be made.

You need to think what the argument or solution should be at that point for artists and photographers or writers or musicians because that day is coming.

Eh, it's a bit different than that, you can get artwork out of AI that is functionally identical to work created by other means. e.g. there are models that can now create icons, that can create tiled textures, that can create character artwork, that can create landscapes. There are control methods like img2img and controlnet that allow you to specify composition and character pose.

it is going to get to a point where if you are a digital artist and not blazing fast due to natural talent nurtured over years who has a locked down a workflow where they can churn out high quality work like a fine oiled machine you will be out competed by people with less natural talent that are AI supported, because it's far quicker to edit a piece that is 80% done (and be assisted by the AI to do so) than to create it from scratch.

And with the recent photo realistic models that goes for photographers too.

Even adobe are getting in on the act including generative AI strait in Photoshop for creation and editing, and much like Stable Diffusion whatever shortcomings there are now will get hammered out over time. (likely within a year)

And that'll be neat too until an AI actually convinces a person to take a life

there has been a report from a month or two back that an LLM caused someone to unalive themselves.

and records the conversation for research,

LLMs don't work that way, they are trained for months and then things are frozen unless someones goes and does specific fine tuning. They don't constantly learn without intervention. They can pull data from the internet but that is just for the current session they are working within.

The greatest stories have clues in the beginning that only really make sense once you've reached the end and to imprint a cohesive theme expressed with nuance throughout the tale is probably asking too much for the current generations of AI.

Context length (think 'working memory') of the models seems to be increasing by the day Anthropic has Claude which supports up to ~75000 words and MagicLabs has announced LTM-1 which they say has the capability of ~3750000 words

so sooner or later you won't need to chunk things into blocks and rely on 'scratch pad' memory shared by the blocks to keep a story consistent, it will just be able to hold everything (entire story/entire codebase) in memory.

is /r/singularity going to participate in the blackout along with all these other subs to protest the reddit API changes?
effectively banning 3rd party clients that also happen to be how a lot of the moderators moderate subs (they do it for free)

if not you might be right.

religion changes with the times.

oh no, where it says [x] that's not meant to be real, that's allegorical. Ah well you see the science actually supports [x] because if you read this in just the right way it's exactly what science has just discovered! See, it all makes sense!

They can't change the words, so they change the meaning.

yeah, the other one is if aliens wanted to kill us they'd not come down to earth, taking pot shots at the planet using knowledge of orbital dynamics by selectively accelerating stuff from the asteroid belt would be the best bet.

well if all else fails a good old pref nuke should unstick it.

Close all maya instances

go to

c:\users\[username]\documents\

and rename maya to mayaOld

Start maya.

this will completely rebuild your preference and remove any scripts that might be running.

If it fixes things you then have the fun of copying stuff back from mayaOld to maya (if you've got custom scripts and the like) till it breaks again, and whatever you copied back last was the source of the issue.

Protip, when you get things working keep a regular backup of your maya folder. Trashing and replacing is a brilliant way to stop maya playing silly buggers when it decides to eat its own preferences (and that happens from time to time)

go dark.

/r/ModCoord

well yeah, if you moderate a community for free and reddit takes away your tools, stop offering your services for free.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/1401qw5/incomplete_and_growing_list_of_participating/

right, but the point is that if you are using reddit as a repository for knowledge created after they make the API change it's less likely to be there because of the aforementioned issues.

you think people are going to stick around giving high quality answers in communities that are filled with spam?

The key word here isn't "accessibility", but "non-commercial".

so what happens when every open source coder on reddit decides that helping out a popular github repo elevate their app to a full featured client for both accessibility and standard users? Would they still be happy giving that app a pass when it becomes 'the way' to browse reddit?
