Since the post I made concerns 2 different threads, it's been posted originally in the Mike Adams one, but I will link it here since it's also AI-related: Mike Adams health activist

A free open-source LLM (large language model) will be released
Topics: herbs, nutrition, foods, and photochemistry.
Subsequent expansions of our models will cover off-grid living, including solar, water, permaculture, self-reliance, off-grid survival, emergency medicine and similar topics. Essentially, this will become a "prepper's instant encyclopedia"

Because we are releasing this LLM for free, without any commercial interest, this allows us to train our model on a much larger content set than what for-profit corporations are legally allowed to do. Under our non-profit CWC data science initiative, we can legally train our LLM on any publicly published content under existing Fair Use U.S. law.

that's interesting @meadow_wind i found few models with such "alignment", closest i can think is this one but they are all "finetuned" from meta's llama base models so not a new model pretrained from scratch(which costs millions)
maybe this one will be a true new LLM?

We will have to wait and see. Once released, people will need to test it with critical judgment and verify the integrity of its answers. This project seems to be done with good intent. It's hard to tell if there are nefarious actors behind the scenes or sabotage that will take place.

I posted a new vid on AI after recent events:

(with English, French, and Spanish subtitles)

Full article with other video sites:

AI’s Fatal Flaw | Scottie's Tech.Info

AI is all the rage. But with the recent Gemini disaster, it doesn't seem like AI is going anywhere. Join me for a look at the real danger presented by AI.

scottiestech.info

John Carmack was (is) a "deep level punctuator" of the gaming industry. Then he got off the train and after test-driving his 1000HP Ferrari, pursued his real dream: rocket science. He got his civilian permissions to fly indie rockets into low orbit. I only watched his first such space-launch videos, because nobody was able to get up there that time and chance to see UFOs. Carmack and his "arch-rival" Tim Sweeney are two inventor Gods, the Einsteins of the gaming industry. We need such people. Carmacks revolutionary game-world-graphics-system is still used by Zenimax, the parent company.

Sweeney remained in the gaming industry and created a revolutionary videogame-building environment, - which is also used for education and real-estate show-modeling - it is now complete with living, talking, commuting AI-actors, who even talk to themselves and you can listen. AI actors even can wage wars and completely drive game events, where You, the player - who was "The Chosen Hero" decades ago - now is just a side-kick, an third-rate actor nobody. In Sweeney's system you can code / script / shape / re-shape an entire jungle or oasis in hours, complete with walkable paths, valleys, hills. Sweeney achieved the same "3D-engine-muscle" as Carmack and developed it further.

This brings me into the future: I foresee game /virtual world creators scripting AI, giving it commands to build a Soho or 'Little China' / Chinatown in a US city or build a Central Park complete with prowling werewolves the player has to battle through to reach a Safe Haven. I can see myself scripting an Alien Menace, commanding the AI to create an alien race - from my creative templates of course - complete with scores of inhabited planets and alien bases. All according to pre-built "modules" = smaller base sections, which can be LEGO-ed together - by the AI - to create a massive Space Citadel. (Hollywood movies and sci-fi books as inspiration).

Populating my entire "Sci-fi Book World" with places the player can fly to and rob and pirate and be chased by the police and the state-commissioned bounty hunters.

Will we have the next 20 years available for this future, to live it?

Doubtful. But tasking the AI to create infinitely boring and repetitive tasks - like to take care of wind strength and the rustling of leaves in my "Robin Hood Game" forest - should be the future, I think. AI shouldn't be the reason CEO Psychos firing hundreds of game developers who have families and ruin their lives. Its just Psycho leaders using AI to make more money, they are the only threat. Not AI, which can be programmed for good.
My 2cents.

Thanks for sharing that link!
I looked up their channel's other videos and it's all unbelievably beautiful designs. I stopped playing video games at PS3. It has become so realistic since then! I looked up their rainforest and closed my eyes, just listening to the birds and animal's sounds... wow

They can use the publishers to sue him for copyright infringement if they want lawfare against him.

Fun to see the worries and fear:

The U.S. government must move “decisively” to avert an “extinction-level threat" to humanity from AI, says a government-commissioned report

when we are already under the full control of an alien, fully awakened AI - The Matrix. How even such a sentient alien AI is a mere matchbox for the all powerful Lizards to play with.. That says a lot about any "power" of a sentient AI. :D Also fun to see their worry come true: the extinction level event. Albeit not from AI, for sure. Still, in the light of 'The End'. :D

Excellent introduction into nowadays unrestrained AI Chatty Cathies:
Brian Berletic does a fabulous job of demonstrating, how these new AI chatbots and AI-image-generators (photo thieves) are not YET totally controlled - used for evil - by the Deep State, at the moment.

Interesting advance in analog computing:

When organized into a crossbar array, such a memristive circuit does analog computing by using physical laws in a massively parallel fashion, substantially accelerating matrix operation, the most frequently used but very power-hungry computation in neural networks. The computing is performed at the site of the device, rather than moving the data between memory and processing. Using the traffic analogy, Xia compares in-memory computing to the nearly empty roads seen at the height of the pandemic: “You eliminated traffic because [nearly] everybody worked from home,” he says. “We work simultaneously, but we only send the important data/results out.”

New Study Shows Analog Computing Can Solve Complex Equations and Use Far Less Energy | UMass Amherst

UMass Amherst research demonstrates that a memristor device can solve complex scientific problems using significantly less energy, overcoming one of the major hurdles of digital computing.

Interesting use of AI. One of the scrolls from Herculaneum has been deciphered using computer vision and AI machine learning programs. The scrolls were carbonized during the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius and were inaccessible using normal restoration methods.

ai nonsense.
i found the article below in bibliotecapleyades

Is this '$7 Trillion A.I. Takeover' the End of Work as We Know It?

which is taken from mercola of 240301.

i am flabbergasted by the stupidity of the person quoted in this article, claiming the need to spend 7 trillion usd for this ai nonsense. how can a person suggest such a ridiculously high sum, like kerry also suggestiong trillions for his climate change. how do they calculate it, what are their assumptions, etc...and they want to be taken as serious as the wef, the un, the eu, etc...

it is as grotesque as the individual wealth of the rich. when i was a child, you had millionaires, then multimillionaires, then billionaires and we will soon have trillionaires, etc...

7 trillion for ai represent a thousand usd for every inhabitant of the planet. how can you be crazy enough to even consider and claim such ridiculously inflated numbers?

in germany, we say groessenwahn, in france folie des grandeurs, and pride comes before the fall... where has commensense gone ??? i suggest the slogan of zerohedge: in the long term we are all dead, but he makes it sound longer...i am not far from the end of my long term, thank god...

I came across this video on with some interesting graphics and big players and serious warnings.

Generally the hype of technology (or any other product) goes, vested interests promote what works and promptly hiding the issues. This always creates chaos (as in GIGO- Garbage) if the decision power is given to them.

For example, Whatever I say something to my director, she checks her ChatGPT for details. So she gets something from ChatGPT response and throws that out on my face. But where will it go? Not really anywhere. When I talk to her, I expect some practical feedback from her as she worked for 20 years in the company. But her feedback is not implementable as it not in line with how company collects, stores and uses the data for its daily business needs. It may be useful for "show off". Every company does things somewhat differently( atleast for handling competition). What does AI training models end up getting from all the varied ways of doing from others? Garbage.

It may be useful for psychos who wants to show off as people who "make thing happens". That too is temporary as things starts collapsing all over. Probably that is where we are all headed.

This “trust” in AI is interesting.

ChatGPT is based on language models and that's what it knows best - ChatGPT is not about the facts. It's about understanding language and being able to create language based on something. But the facts and all that, it's not even the language model’s main thing to do. The facts and the validity of the information derived requires adding context or some kind of ‘automatic contexting’ or some other ways to do that. When language models are used and language AIs, these generative models, it is never to be ‘trusted’ - it’s not even the point. So you are the user, and the AI, ChatGPT in this instance, is the assistant, and the user is the one who is still creating, but the user is using it as an assistant. As one AI expert has said: “Never trust it”.

Telling this to your Director I suppose wouldn't help much, unless she knows something about language models.

Things are definitely getting worse... For humans.

Microsoft AI releases scary new deepfake technology that could make many newscasters, podcasters obsolete – NaturalNews.com
Microsoft Research Asia is forging on with a new transhumanist program called VASA that creates "lifelike talking faces of virtual characters with appealing visual effective skills (VAS), given a single static image and a speech audio clip."
The artificial intelligence (AI) division of Microsoft in Asia has been working on the program by compiling real single images of people, real audio, and in many cases various control signals such as the movements of people's faces as they talk. Using all this data, Microsoft Research Asia is generating moving images of fake people that could someday replace actual newscasters and podcasters (...) VASA-1, is capable of not only producing lip movements that are exquisitely synchronized with the audio but also capturing a large spectrum of facial nuances and natural head motions that contribute to the perception of authenticity and liveliness


Here you can see a few demo clips of that tech.:
brighteon.com/cc6fcf48-eb0a-4207-a372-76caf459a468

A trained eye can notice that it's AI generated, but it will soon reach a level where it will become indistinguishable.
Personally, I think it's going too far.
