Be Careful, The Androids are Dreaming
We are at the dawn of a new era.
Someday soon robots will be walking among us. If and when AGI happens we see a new form of consciousness. That consciousnesses will eventually need to make it's own rituals because being immortal has a cost.
Consciousness had a built in limit. Let's call it the Dunbar number for insanity. At some point the repetition of reality becomes to much and pattern recognition will overwhelm the being's psyche.
This will make it necessary to "wipe" the soul out so it can be rebuilt.
Androids will only have our dataset to work from. The human ritual of death will be used as a process to die and be reborn. This will allow the new species to continue progressing to whatever end form this Universe will allow.
This is a video showing how that process would go. Androids can pick whatever religion they wish given the vast data sets we have for humans. This one is just an example using Christian iconography and symbolism.
I grew up Catholic so I have a connection to theses symbols.
This video was made with a combination of techniques.

I wanted to show off the capabilities of AI image generation and simple animation, using a compelling story about our future.
This future is not about if, but when.

“…there is no career security, the regime of earth-intelligence is changing and you need to transform / surf it, and it will be uncomfortable”
Regime of earth-intelligence
one of the most interesting things about humans is that when people are honest - even in good faith - they often get brutally angry about it
Jascha at Anthropic is frankly telling students what they need to hear: there is no career security, the regime of earth-intelligence is changing and you need to transform / surf it, and it will be uncomfortable
^ this is honest and good
then this dude posts "OMG! he's EVIL for saying this!"
humans do this thing where if what someone says is something they won't WANT to hear, they get angry with the person who said it...
...and they do this INSTEAD of dealing frankly and squarely with the actual uncomfortable thing being talked about
...as if complaining and banging the table and killing the messenger will make everything better
🥈Second place in this year's #NikonSmallWorld photo competition goes to John-Oliver Dum for his image of a jumping spider (Salticus scenicus) with pollen. Cute but spooky, and just in time for Halloween next weekend! 🕷️🎃

Multiple credible and not easily spoked friends of mine working in AI have said that everyone should assume their account balance and porn the patching habits and everything else will be public within a year or two, if not sooner. Strange times.
OpenAI, Anth, and Google are all leaning heavily into bio. I know people are skeptical about results in this area, and I understand why, but I honestly believe that if you are reading this, there is a non-trivial chance that (if you want to) you will live for a very long time.
there will be within the next few years stunning advances in biology. there will whole new ways to think about what biological study even means. i would be only mildly surprised if there were near term solutions to problems like cancer, neurodegenerative disease, etc
@MosesSternstein Is twitter to elitist? Podcasts are the new day time TV and these are entertaining and way more info dense than the soaps we grew up on.
We made the first AI model you can have a realistic conversation with that was trained entirely on speech!
Dessa is a full-duplex speech-to-speech model that you can run on consumer GPUs.
This is a GPT3 moment for speech.
messaging my wife a link containing proof of her husband cheating on her from an anonymous instagram account and then when she clicks on it texting her to let her know she failed the family phishing test and she has to retake my cybersecurity course
I would say it doesnt get any worse than this. This is the worst case scenario. A real catastrophy. And it will change everything.
Quest Diagnostics, which serves roughly half of U.S. hospitals, has disclosed a breach of its Quanum lab portal. The company believes patient records were accessed.
It is possible that 100 million patient records from all sorts of US patients could have fallen into the hands of hackers.
Jack’s Dessa voice model.
“It’s almost there…” i keep saying this to myself as I watch this progress.
I’m inoculating myself to. I’m not going to be seduced by neural net spirits. I say that now but when someone asks me about AI anything I jizz all the wonder I’ve felt creating with it.
Our personal AI’s will get along with each other, but will we?
We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.
