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}".
  13. Please be respectful to each other.

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.

I think Meta has profited greatly from LLaMa being openly available to the FOSS LLM community. Recently I saw a post on r/LocalLLaMa that went like "Meta published a new paper, I immediately noticed a way to make it a lot better".

If they release a LLaMa V2 and don't fuck it up by lobotomizing it, we could very soon see open source models overtake GPT3.5 and I'm excited about that.

Between this and treads having activity pub integration, it is infinitely upsetting to me that the only company that seems to be interested in open tech is fucking meta...

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

Everyone's trying to break the dominance of openai's GPT4.

Exactly, everyone's goal is to 'be the best at X' so saying that LLaMA wants to usurp GPT-4's dominance is just stating the obvious.

I want an ai tool that automatically chooses the best titles for posts with no hype stuff. Current models are not capable to understand the full context of articles/papers to then choose the title that will work well in the real world.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There will never be a "best title" for things, since its all subjective and you never know what will gather more clicks or interaction than another- an algorithm for choosing the most likely relevant title may exist however its never guaranteed to perform better than another one.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nope, titles have qualities that could be considered universally good or universally bad so if you know your shit then you can make consistently very good titles.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sure but it's never going to be possible to know the absolute perfect title for any given topic, since public opinion and click through rate is a nebulous unknowable thing which could just as likely respond to a perfectly algorithmically selected title negatively as opposed to a joke title given on a whim could garner far more interaction.

And I'm not asking for that
