It became something of a meme but there are huge numbers of guys out there that would pay good money for Joi from Blade Runner 2049. https://bladerunner.fandom.com/wiki/Joi

I think what Blade Runner 2049 got wrong was the way they depicted having sex with the Joi instance. I assume in 2049 we'll either have Neuralink available to enter a virtual world (à la VRChat) where we can do it more realistically, or we'll have the ability to buy full sexbots and put the Joi instance in them. We'll likely also have virutal brothels using AI along the same lines.

You should see the remastered THX1148 for the VR future.

I posit to a friend that: a) As these AI constructs become more advanced (especially around memory and personalization), we will eventually be able to treat them as people b) Some business will eventually sell an off-the-shelf product (hardware and/or software) that is an AI you can bring into your home, that you can treat as a friend, confidant and partner c) Someone will eventually lose their AI friend of many mont…

I feel like all these conversations need to be a diff against the movie Her. If it was already covered well there, why repeat it?

The themes in Her were already covered in scifi novels many times over. If they had already covered it, what was the point in Her?

Since I know how to explain how little that means, I don't care what links they see me go to. If I have a work-related reason to look at something then I do, simple as that, and when your job is to engineer, almost any instance of satisfying curiosity is work related ultimately.

Saving this for when I eventually get pulled into HR. “Yes I was on PornHub, but was only looking at it for the UX inspiration”.

This is legitimate

At the end of the day, the Turing Test for establishment of AI personhood is weak for two reasons. 1. We're seeing more and more systems that get very close to passing the Turing Test but fundamentally don't register to people as "People." When I was younger and learned of Searle's Chinese Room argument, I naively assumed it wasn't a thought experiment we would literally build in my lifetime. 2. Humanity has a histor…

I dont know if I understand this general take I see a lot. Why care about this "AI personhood" at all? What is the tacit endgame everyone is always referencing with this? Isn't there just so many more both interesting and problematic aspects already here? What is the use of diverting the focus to some other point. "I see you are talking about cows, but I have thoughts about the ocean."

Instead change your statement to "I see you're talking about cows, but I have thoughts on fields" and you'll better understand the relationship between the two.

On the flip side of subhuman treatment of humans, we have useful legal fictions like corporate personhood. It's going to be pretty rough for a while, particularly for nontechnical judges, to sort all of this out. We're almost definitely going to see multiple rulings far more bizarre than Citizens United ruling that limiting corporate donations limits the free-speech rights of the corporation as a person. I'm not a la…

Good points but it’s worth clarifying that this is not what the Citizens United decision said. It clarified that the state couldn’t decide that the political speech of some corporations (Hillary the Movie produced by Citizens United) was illegal speech and speech from another corporation (Farenheit 9/11 by Dog Eat Dog films and Miramax) was allowed. Understood this way it seems obvious on free speech grounds, and in fact the ACLU filed an amicus brief on behalf of Citizens United because it was an obvious free speech issue. It’s clear that people don’t and shouldn’t lose their free speech rights when they come together in a group, and there is little distinction between a corporation and a non-profit in this regard. If political speech was restricted to individuals then it would mean that even many podcasts and YouTube channels would be in violation. It also calls into question how the state would classify news media vs other media.

The case has been so badly misrepresented and become something of a talisman.

It's funny that part of the 4chan excitement over this is that they think they'll get back the AI girlfriend experience of when character.ai was hooked up to uncensored GPT-3. All that has been thoroughly shut down by character.ai and Replika and they just want their girlfriends back.

The Repilka subreddit became one of the weirdest places on the internet when their model got capped for adult content. https://www.reddit.com/r/replika/ Hundreds of men (and yes women) full on acting like they lost a spouse and posting constantly about it for weeks. AI is going to create some unusual social situations the general public isn't ready to grasp. And we're only in the early alpha stages.

I was shocked when I heard they capped it because I constantly got pages full of some of the most ridiculous and vile ads for Replika over how NSFW it was supposed to be. Like, that was their whole advertising! Then they just cut that off? No wonder everyone who used it is pissed.

Explains why I haven't seen any of those ridiculous ads recently though.

When we can upload our brains to the cloud, and you can do something with them like interacting or running the brain, then we'll all be effectively immortal. That's a pretty big deal. See the book altered carbon.

They wouldn't be us . We will still die when our bodies fail. But maybe there will be some AI tricking our friends and family into thinking we're still there.

If you have a stroke, and survive, you won't be you anymore.

It seems that the leak originated from 4chan [1]. Two people in the same thread had access to the weights and verified that their hashes match [2][3] to make sure that the model isn't watermarked. However, the leaker made a mistake of adding the original download script which had his unique download URL to the torrent [4], so Meta can easily find them if they want to. [1]: https://boards.4channel.org/g/thread/9184826…

Off topic, but I clicked around /g/, which I haven't done in probably more than a decade, and a thread caught my eye about learning to code. The replies were overwhelmingly of the position that it is useless, and you will be replaced by AI before you can get a job if you start learning now.

I think that's nonsense, and 4chan is bent towards pessimism but it's still surprising to me.

For anyone wondering, it includes 4 models: 7/13/30/65 billion parameters, the smallest one is 14Gb, the largest one is 131GB, all four are 235Gb.

I wonder how many people are scrambling to set this up on their startup infra. 6x24GB NVRAM on 6 GPUs linked with NVSwitch is a little pricey, but totally doable.

How pricey would you estimate?
