About:

This sublemmy is a place for sharing news and discussions about artificial intelligence, core developments of humanity's technology and societal changes that come with them. Basically futurology sublemmy centered around ai but not limited to ai only.

Rules:
  1. Posts that don't follow the rules and don't comply with them after being pointed out that they break the rules will be deleted no matter how much engagement they got and then reposted by me in a way that follows the rules. I'm going to wait for max 2 days for the poster to comply with the rules before I decide to do this.
  2. No Low-quality/Wildly Speculative Posts.
  3. Keep posts on topic.
  4. Don't make posts with link/s to paywalled articles as their main focus.
  5. No posts linking to reddit posts.
  6. Memes are fine as long they are quality or/and can lead to serious on topic discussions. If we end up having too much memes we will do meme specific singularity sublemmy.
  7. Titles must include information on how old the source is in this format dd.mm.yyyy (ex. 24.06.2023).
  8. Please be respectful to each other.
  9. No summaries made by LLMs. I would like to keep quality of comments as high as possible.
  10. (Rule implemented 30.06.2023) Don't make posts with link/s to tweets as their main focus. Melon decided that the content on the platform is going to be locked behind login requirement and I'm not going to force everyone to make a twitter account just so they can see some news.
  11. No ai generated images/videos unless their role is to represent new advancements in generative technology which are not older that 1 month.
  12. If the title of the post isn't an original title of the article or paper then the first thing in the body of the post should be an original title written in this format "Original title: {title here}".

We aim to curate content that truly contributes to the understanding and practical application of AI, making it, as the name suggests, “actually useful” for developers and enthusiasts alike.)

Note:

My posts on this sub are currently VERY reliant on getting info from r/singularity and other subreddits on reddit. I'm planning to at some point make a list of sites that write/aggregate news that this subreddit is about so we could get news faster and not rely on reddit as much. If you know any good sites please dm me.

With LLaMA V2, Meta may be trying to benefit from the open-source community, similar to what Google has done with Android.

The Financial Times, citing three sources familiar with the project, reports that Meta wants to launch a commercial AI model to compete with OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google. The model is said to generate language, code, and images.

It may be a new variant of Meta's LLaMA, a large language model used in numerous open-source projects. LLaMA v1 has only been released under a research license and therefore may not be used directly for commercial purposes. However, replicas exist.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has already announced that a new AI model is in the works, which could be LLaMA v2 or under a different name. Meta wants to use the model for its services and offer it to external interested parties, according to Zuckerberg. Special attention is safety.

It is fucking terrifying that people like Musk and Zuckerberg are in control of the most powerful systems to ever exist in human history.

Sorry, what is Musk in control over? He won capitalism in a way (with a lucky spawn) but hes not actually in charge of anything valueble or dangerous is he?

Now facebook has been involved in so many privacy scandals, uploading your contacts from emails and phones, reading whatsapp messages. collecting medical information from other apps. They must have the largest database of human behaviour in the world.

That + AI Is really fucking scary..

Musk is in control of an equally large database of human behavior through Twitter and just announced a few days ago that he's starting an AI company to build "the world's most powerful AI which aims to understand the nature of the universe itself". Facebook has been heavily invested in AI for years.
