[Robert Yang @GuangyuRobert]

Introducing Project Sid: the first simulations of 1000+ truly autonomous agents collaborating in a virtual world, w/ emergent economy, culture, religion, and government

Humans are the only species to land the moon, because we can cooperate at a vast scale

Can AI do the same?

I just posted the first of what will be several chapters about transformers, which in the last year has been the most requested topic for the channel.

MujocoでMPCを実行するデモコードを発見したので、実行までの手順をWeb記事にしました。
２足歩行,４足歩行,マニピュレーションなど色々な環境が用意されているので、研究の足がかりに良さそうです。

Hi everyone!

I am finding myself having more spare time than expected 😅(wink wink).

If your #robotic company needs some "extra muscle 💪" in their team to execute a project or delegate some work, let me know and I will be happy to help!

Reposts are greatly appreciated 😉!

ステレオカメラを利用しながら、#VisualSLAM を行いました。さらに、そのSLAMにおいて利用された画像の特徴的な点を可視化してみました。特徴的な点を探すために #ORB 特徴量を利用しています。
カメラの位置がうまく復元されていることがわかります。実行のために #MATLAB を利用しました。

We just got more details on Mixtral 8x7B from @MistralAI 🧠 Mixtral is sparse mixture of expert models (SMoE) with open weights outperforming existing open LLMs like Meta Llama 70B.🤯 💪🏻

TL;DR: ⬇️

People always ask me why I use @firefox . It's a philosophical choice, really.

Most of the prominent browsers out there, like Chrome, Brave, and Arc, are Chromium-based. There's a lot of innovation there, and I love the work they are putting into Arc; it's a solid product!

But when it comes to the web, there shouldn't be a monopoly, and Firefox is the only resistance against Google's monopoly.

It's about safeguarding the very principles that make the web an open and accessible place for all.

P.S.: Also, I love Firefox containers.

Altman, Hassabis, and Amodei are the ones doing massive corporate lobbying at the moment.
They are the ones who are attempting to perform a regulatory capture of the AI industry.
You, Geoff, and Yoshua are giving ammunition to those who are lobbying for a ban on open AI R&D.

If your fear-mongering campaigns succeed, they will *inevitably* result in what you and I would identify as a catastrophe: a small number of companies will control AI.

The vast majority of our academic colleagues are massively in favor of open AI R&D. Very few believe in the doomsday scenarios you have promoted.
You, Yoshua, Geoff, and Stuart are the singular-but-vocal exceptions.

like many, I very much support open AI platforms because I believe in a combination of forces: people's creativity, democracy, market forces, and product regulations.
I also know that producing AI systems that are safe and under our control is possible. I've made concrete proposals to that effect.
This will all drive people to do the Right Thing.

You write as if AI is just happening, as if it were some natural phenomenon beyond our control.
But it's not. It's making progress because of individual people that you and I know. We, and they, have agency in building the Right Things.
Asking for regulation of R&D (as opposed to product deployment) implicitly assumes that these people and the organization they work for are incompetent, reckless, self-destructive, or evil. They are not.

I have made lots of arguments that the doomsday scenarios you are so afraid of are preposterous. I'm not going to repeat them here. But the main point is that if powerful AI systems are driven by objectives (which include guardrails) they will be safe and controllable because *e* set those guardrails and objectives.
(Current Auto-Regressive LLMs are not driven by objectives, so let's not extrapolate from their current weaknesses).

Now about open source: your campaign is going to have the exact opposite effect of what you seek.
In a future where AI systems are poised to constitute the repository of all human knowledge and culture, we *need* the platforms to be open source and freely available so that everyone can contribute to them.
Openness is the only way to make AI platforms reflect the entirety of human knowledge and culture.
This requires that contributions to those platforms be crowd-sourced, a bit like Wikipedia.
That won't work unless the platforms are open.

The alternative, which will *inevitably* happen if open source AI is regulated out of existence, is that a small number of companies from the West Coast of the US and China will control AI platform and hence control people's entire digital diet.
What does that mean for democracy?
What does that mean for cultural diversity?

*THIS* is what keeps me up at night.
