@AndrewYNg As the potential for both good and bad of AI grows rapidly, it only makes sense to apply the same guardrails

[David Benoit @davidxbenoit]

@AndrewYNg Most if not all other fields with potentially harmful outcomes are heavily regulated. Look at healthcare, nuclear or aeronautic just to name a few. All of these fields were not initially regulated but you may agree today that regulation has greatly improved safety for society

Pessimism for humanity's future is everywhere.

But beneath it all is evidence that humans will not only survive, but thrive deep into the future.

Proudly presenting THE HUMAN FUTURE: A Case for Optimism.

How would a nuclear war between Russia and the U.S. affect you? Who would survive?

Watch and share our most realistic nuclear war simulation yet:

@ylecun Vraiment impressionant d'un point de vue technologique. Cependant, cela permet très facilement la création de deep fakes, qui est le plus gros risque du AI à court terme...

Added a bending constraint to the strings and meshed them 🙂#b3d #geometrynodes

@Faceplants00 @tegmark Like every institution, they are probably far from perfect and big companies most likely have lobbying power.

My argument however is we are safer with this oversight than having none. People cut corners in every field.

[David Benoit @davidxbenoit]

@Faceplants00 @tegmark I don't keep up with every approval but it does sound like a joke.

My experience with the FDA is it has taken 2 years to my team to demonstrate a surgical implant was safe for use. A lot of eng in my field believe the burden of proof is actually greater than it needs to be.

[David Benoit @davidxbenoit]

@Faceplants00 @tegmark And to answer your question about how much confidence it gives me, the answer is more confidence than if there was no oversight.

Open source can only get you so far when you are on the outer edge of technology and no predicate.

[David Benoit @davidxbenoit]

@Faceplants00 @tegmark What are you referring to for the zero human trials? To get something approved, you have to provide substantial proofs that your device is safe/will improve QoL. You can never demonstrate that something is 100% safe. You can however demonstrate that the benefits outsize the risks

[Seanterelle @seanterelle]

2 experiments: Add a collider and crank up to 100k particles. Turning on motion blur appears to insert additional updates during rendering so these are 4x speed. The more particles, the more collision steps are needed to maintain a stable simulation, so simulation time takes off.

In this project, I challenged myself to create characters that were different from my usual style. It's always great to step out of your comfort zone and take on new projects!✨

@bradyajohnston @Bbbn192 Take a look at this video
They explain an alternative method to loop for every node in the model.

@seanterelle Thanks for the tutorial!

[David Benoit @davidxbenoit]

@JesseMiettinen Very impressive work. Would be interested to learn how it is done

[David Benoit @davidxbenoit]

@musicalscience True, the progress has been impressive. Looking forward to being proven wrong in my lifetime. Once it starts solving real physics/biology problems, i could see a glimmer of hope. Alphafold is a pretty good start
