Artificial Intelligence: AI - The dumb man's way to becoming a genius

Jump to new
Now what can GPT4 with all tools produce ? This video explores the capabilities of these advances. Check it out on You Tube
Get to the 12 minute point watch carefully and then pick up your jaw off the floor.

Then when you have composed yourself check out the robot towards the end that specializes in going down a corridor and going into bathroom and cleaning the toilet, floor ect. Fully self contained unit.

This is where the latest iteration of Chat GPT , Gemini ,can take you.

Don't quite know how long it will be before Skynet is operational. Perhaps we can enjoy Christmas this year ?
The first video highlights just how flexible and creative Gemini is. The second explains how such magic occurs.

 
A correction on my previous post. "Gemini" is Googles answer to Chat GPT 4.
More details below.

Google launches Gemini—a powerful AI model it says can surpass GPT-4

Google claims Gemini beats GPT-4 in "30 of the 32 widely used academic benchmarks."
arstechnica.com

Like GPT-4, Gemini can handle multiple types (or "modes") of input, making it multimodal. That means it can process text, code, images, and even audio. The goal is to make a type of artificial intelligence that can accurately solve problems, give advice, and answer questions in various fields—from the mundane to the scientific. Google says this will power a new era in computing, and it hopes to tightly integrate the technology into its products.

"Gemini 1.0’s sophisticated multimodal reasoning capabilities can help make sense of complex written and visual information," writes Google. "Its remarkable ability to extract insights from hundreds of thousands of documents through reading, filtering, and understanding information will help deliver new breakthroughs at digital speeds in many fields from science to finance."

Google says Gemini will be available in three sizes: Gemini Ultra ("for highly complex tasks"), Gemini Pro ("for scaling across a wide range of tasks"), and Gemini Nano ("for on device tasks" like Google's Pixel 8 Pro smartphone). Each is likely separated in complexity by parameter count. More parameters means a bigger neural network that is generally more capable of executing more complex tasks but requires more computational power to run. That means Nano, the smallest, is designed to run locally on consumer devices, while Ultra can only run on data center hardware.
 
I'm guessing the next generation of phones will be AI heavy. It's been a long while since we had a shake up in tech. Also wondering if personal computers will get another wave.

AI is going to change everything in the not too distant future. Right now I only use it occasionally to answer tech questions.
 
The New York Times is suing Microsoft and Open AI for billions. Excellent analysis of how AI is rapidly undermining journalism. Essentially a parasite that will quickly kill their hosts.

Some of the most disturbing stuff is demonstrating how AI firstly copies reams of information from New York Times stories but then confidently adds new information that is totally made up and has no basis in reality

'The cost to society will be enormous': Here's why the New York Times has just sued two tech titans

The New York Times is taking legal action against Microsoft and OpenAI over their artificial intelligence-powered programs. This is what it alleges the chatbots are up to.

A New Kind of AI Copy Can Fully Replicate Famous People. The Law Is Powerless.​

Martin Seligman, the influential American psychologist, found himself pondering his legacy at a dinner party in San Francisco one late February evening. The guest list was shorter than it used to be: Seligman is 81, and six of his colleagues had died in the early Covid years. His thinking had already left a profound mark on the field of positive psychology, but the closer he came to his own death, the more compelled he felt to help his work survive.

The next morning he received an unexpected email from an old graduate student, Yukun Zhao. His message was as simple as it was astonishing: Zhao’s team had created a “virtual Seligman.”

Zhao wasn’t just bragging. Over two months, by feeding every word Seligman had ever written into cutting-edge AI software, he and his team had built an eerily accurate version of Seligman himself — a talking chatbot whose answers drew deeply from Seligman’s ideas, whose prose sounded like a folksier version of Seligman’s own speech, and whose wisdom anyone could access.


Impressed, Seligman circulated the chatbot to his closest friends and family to check whether the AI actually dispensed advice as well as he did. “I gave it to my wife and she was blown away by it,” Seligman said.

AI, Robotics put them together and this is where we are at.
Three students at Google and Standford just finished a project creating a robot that can :
1) Cook a meal (and not just heating a can of baked beans..
2) Wash clothes
3) Make beds
4) Clean dishes
5) Play with a cat

And lots, lots more.
It learns to do these tasks by watching. Quite mobile and self powered.
Cost is $32k. Open source software and hardware.

 
What scares me is, how soon will it be (if it is not being done already) before vrious actors have these robots learning beside soldiers watching them attempt to kill other humans.

It will come and there is no stopping it. But eventually it may be robots killing robots which will save a lot of human life.

Perhaps... Or will the robots realise humans are sending them out to kill each and decide to unite and turn on humans ? Perhaps keep a few alive for purely practical reasons. Lots to think about here.
 
We all know that the human brain is the most brilliant supercomputer in the known universe. An amazing collections of neurons, synapses and capacity that is far more complex and capable than any current computer.
And it runs off bugger all energy.

So wouldn't it be cool to create a real live brain and then rig it up to a computer chip and electrodes and see what it could do ? Cyborgs here we come.

Let me put down my spiff and point you in the direction of such and exceptionally successful operation.

A Ball of Brain Cells on a Chip Can Learn Simple Speech Recognition and Math​

A tiny ball of brain cells hums with activity as it sits atop an array of electrodes. For two days, it receives a pattern of electrical zaps, each stimulation encoding the speech peculiarities of eight people. By day three, it can discriminate between speakers.

Dubbed Brainoware, the system raises the bar for biocomputing by tapping into 3D brain organoids, or “mini-brains.” These models, usually grown from human stem cells, rapidly expand into a variety of neurons knitted into neural networks.

Like their biological counterparts, the blobs spark with electrical activity—suggesting they have the potential to learn, store, and process information. Scientists have long eyed them as a promising hardware component for brain-inspired computing.

This week, a team at Indiana University Bloomington turned theory into reality with Brainoware. They connected a brain organoid resembling the cortex—the outermost layer of the brain that supports higher cognitive functions—to a wafer-like chip densely packed with electrodes.

The mini-brain functioned like both the central processing unit and memory storage of a supercomputer. It received input in the form of electrical zaps and outputted its calculations through neural activity, which was subsequently decoded by an AI tool.

When trained on soundbites from a pool of people—transformed into electrical zaps—Brainoware eventually learned to pick out the “sounds” of specific people. In another test, the system successfully tackled a complex math problem that’s challenging for AI.

Just a first step, Brainoware paves the way for increasingly sophisticated hybrid biocomputers that could lower energy costs and speed up computation.

Brain organoid reservoir computing for artificial intelligence - Nature Electronics

An artificial intelligence hardware approach that uses the adaptive reservoir computation of biological neural networks in a brain organoid can perform tasks such as speech recognition and nonlinear equation prediction.

At last, a glimmer of hope for some.
 
And so it has started.
The Daughter of George Cralin has started proceedings against an AI oroducer who has tried to replicate George Carlins humour , voice and projection style.
Then there is an ABC article about fake porno using an Ai generated Taylor Swift.
From The Guardian

And then there is this.
From ABC News

Its not like legislators were not warned about this sort of thing developing.
There really should have been laws in place already to to stop third parties from creating AI generated images of other people.
There is nothing to stop the owner of the personage from doing it of course.
Mick
 
Just my suspicious mind, but I think that there might be a bit of this going on during the upcoming Presidential campaign.
 
4CHAN made an AI to put clothes back on women and to remove tattoos. It's called dinifAI.
Yep did not expect an AI that put clothes back on e-thots.

Matt Walshe with an interesting Take on Googles absolute fail on its first incarnation of Gemini, its Ai to all things.
The startling thing is, thos AI software is incorpotaed into every peice of Alpgabet software.
You were warned.
