After 2 data leaks and countless fuck-ups, I didn’t stop using your email as a service, but the new version that you guys regurgitated is beyond redemption.

Now I have to go through the horrible process of changing email providers. Thanks @Yahoo

Just one more state variable bro. Just one more hook and the page will have everything it needs. Just one more state variable please bro. Bro? Add one more state variable please bro

@HireCorey That petition is not gonna do anything. I'm just gonna switch products till they add the "classic view" button

[Konstantin Stanoykov @Constantine996]

@SlackHQ the new UI is absolutely horrible! When you decide to have a complete UX overhaul, it's always better to have a switch for classic mode as fallback. Now I am stuck using this mess!!

This is a neural network flying a drone at extremely high speed, beating human champions in FPV drone racing.

- Reinforcement learning as a tool is so marvelously versatile. It's able to solve both fast, reactive tasks and slow, deliberate tasks (ChatGPT RLHF).
- Trained in large-scale simulation, finetuned in real world - I believe this is the paradigm that will get us to generalist robot some day.

Artificial intelligence vs. human brain - a love-hate relationship

As AI models (neural networks) have become more performant they have surpassed the human brain at multiple tasks

Neural networks are fundamentally modeled on the human brains.

Here is how they are similar

Neurons vs. Nodes -

Biological neurons - The brain receive signals from other neurons through dendrites, processes them, and then passes them on through axons.

Artificial neurons - Nodes in the network receive inputs, add some mathematical transformation and produce an output. So the fundamental workflow is the same.

Learning mechanisms are similar -

Brain Learning: When we learn, the strengths of the neuron connections (synapses) change. For example, if you touch a flame and get burned, your brain strengthens the "fire = hot & painful" connection.

Network Learning: Neural networks adjust their weights (connections) based on errors in prediction

Layered architecture -

Brain's Hierarchical Processing: The human brain processes information in a hierarchical manner. Different parts of the brain are responsible for different functions.

Layers in Neural Networks: Neural networks, especially deep networks, also employ a hierarchical structure. The initial layers often capture low-level features (like edges in images), and deeper layers capture high-level abstract features.

But while they share these basic concepts, this is where the similarity ends!

AI models excel at

Specific tasks - on narrow defined tasks, AI models can easily outpace the human brain. For example, AI can search the entire web and recollect information from the web way better than the brain

Games - AI models have outplayed humans in some games like Chess and Go

Processing Speed: AI models can crunch numbers and process data much faster than the human brain

However, they are still very behind the human brain in these key abilities

Learning and Generalization - The human brain needs very few examples to learn and can easily apply the learning from one context to another. AI needs thousands of examples to learn and can't easily generalize the learning

Energy Consumption - AI models consume way more energy than the human brain. Your brain only uses about 20 watts, which is like a dim light bulb. Yet, you still get bright ideas!

The Super Cool Stuff - No, GPT-4 is not secretly in love with you! AI models don't have feelings, dreams, consciousness or intuition. This is what makes us human, AI models have none of this!

In summary, the human brain is versatile, creative and adaptable while AI models are brilliant at specialized tasks.

Lately, there has been a lot of hate, fear and loathing of AI models, with some people claiming that AI threatens our very existence

In reality, the human brain is far more sophisticated and complex than AI and we should embrace and love AI models whose creation have been inspired by our brains. They can be great tools that can transform our lives for the better and unlock the mysteries of the universe
