At my company we copied a cephalopod architecture back in 2019 and it was a lot better.
In my mind an octopus forest is the best chance at making something that looks and feels like AGI.
But personally I don’t think general intelligence is a thing, I think humans approximate to a stack of ~5,000 skillsets.
Yes, a forest of specialists is vastly more performant than a monolithic general model.
It means you can go much further with less data and also generate a much lighter model that is faster.
All that FOSS AI really needs, is a standard tool for selecting which model to run a given input.
The tech stack is…
> UI
> classifier / model selector
> specialist model
All 3 layers should consist of fully interchangeable and parallelisable modules.
🚨 Today in Open Source 🚨
Natural language to SQL 🤩
A 15B parameter model that outperforms GPT3.5 and outperforms GPT4.0 once schema tuned.
As I said earlier this year, FOSS wins the AI race hands down because of specialisation. AGI will be realised as a sprawling forest of lean specialist models and not a gigantic and monolithic general model.
I think it causes people who might have died of cancer, to never be conceived in the first place.
You could say lots of things about him, but “parasite” doesn’t seem like a fitting analogy.
I actually think if Steve Jobs came back from the dead for one week, he would be utterly aghast at the total ubiquity of smartphone addiction.
It’s 21st Century tobacco.
I see in the news Twitter has broken the url’s to all media / photo files between 2011-14.
Lots of people are upset, because they mistakenly thought they owned those photos.
🚨 You don’t own anything on web2.0 🚨
You surrendered all your property and your rights in the T&C’s. Your media, your network, even your own name, that stuff is not yours.
You gave it all away ‼️
It all belongs to the corp.
An “ecological nightmare” = 7,500 sticks / year moving a couple of miles, in a 3,000 square kilometre forest? 😂
Chronic low-yield agriculture is the only ecological nightmare.
Low land values = sprawling low yield farmland.
Higher land values = high yield farming.
Instead, governments go after energy companies because they have money and are easy to tax. 
The marketplace is an interesting one because a decentralised market is really superterritorial.
A lot of the most followed people on nostr increasingly post super esoteric niche stuff.
This “in-group” signalling doesn’t really help with network stickiness for newbs.
Stay grounded.
Why would anyone do that?
Just sounds like an identity theft bonanza for any disgruntled Twitter employees.
The instability of the clients is a bit weird seems unusually high especially if you miss an update.
Do you make these or your employer?
Surprised we don’t see more prosthetics purely for ergonomic advantage. Must be stuff to be designed that can help older folks get down on their knees, etc.
I know know.
In the UK, middle class people piss their money away on school fees and working class people piss their money away on cars.
Then people retire so early that they get dementia from lack of cognitive challenge.
Isn’t this a location problem rather than a company problem or market problem?
Can fly into most US cities and get the car in about 20 minutes.
I have an Ender 3 in my garage and whilst it was a decent entry point for 3D printing it has limited use, as the surface finish is not great for visible things.
OK for making little brackets, clips, fillers and load members for stuff around the house, but only if they are out of sight.
Why should any company own your social network? Why should a private corporation control your access to it?
It makes no sense?
The problem isn’t the ownership of the corporate equity, it’s the ownership of the users network.
The user should own their own network.
