Hey, guys. Hey. Ready to talk plate processing and residue transport plate funneling? Why don't we start with joust jambs? Hey, why not? Plates and jousts. Can we couple them? Hell, yeah, we can. Want to know how? Get this. Proprietary to McMillan. Only us. Ready? We fit Donnely nut spacing grip grids and splay-flexed brace columns against beam-fastened derrick husk nuts and girdle plate Jerries, while plate flex tan…

Talk dirty to me!

To be fair they were open when that name was picked and it looks like they may be trying to transition to just 'ai.com'.

Wow, that must be an expensive domain name.

I'm sure they can afford it

But justai.com would also be apt

Maybe it's because of how I use it, but the code ChatGPT gives me has always been super helpful and 99% correct. But, we have a policy at work not to use it for work product so I have to spend time changing enough of it where it's different, and I'm never copy/pasting anything. Enough changes to the structure and variables to make it sufficiently different that it can't be considered pasting company data into GPT, as…

Would you say that this satisfies the spirit of the company policy? Or is it a bit of a hack to get around it? I ask because we are about to produce a similar policy at work. We can see the advantages of it, but likewise, we can't have company data held in their systems.

If I use it I also make sure it’s something completely non-core business, like an arcane piece of sorting or ugly rxjs construction.

I get the IP angst, but some companies think their GetGenericObjectFromDB() REST bs is secret sauce.

Okay, I won't mention how much is wrong in the webdev statement... :-D

Web devs have become blue collar!? =P Great idea, actually. I do hope for a curriculum that enables kids on the trade school path to learn more about programming. Why not Master/Journeyman/Apprentice style learning for web dev??

That's kind of how I think about bootcamps pumping out web devs. They're like trade schools, teaching you just enough fundamentals to know how to use existing tools.

Mostly agree... though I don't think the bootcamps get enough fundamentals in. Not to mention that it takes the type of person that will go above and beyond what has been assigned to succeed trying to be a productive employee in the space. I'm self-taught and the first years of my career spent countless hours reading, practicing and solving problems. I still spend a good 10-15 hours a week reading and exploring software development and try to at least keep up with what's out there. In the end, the best you can do is be aware of what, or even that options are out there.

I can't imagine starting out today...

On a technical level, they're doing something really simple -- take BLIP2's ViT-L+Q-former, connect it to Vicuna-13B with a linear layer, and train just the tiny layer on some datasets of image-text pairs. But the results are pretty amazing. It completely knocks Openflamingo && even the original blip2 models out of the park. And best of all, it arrived before OpenAI's GPT-4 Image Modality did. Real win for Open Sourc…

Taking a step back, this is just a wild statement. I know there's some doom and gloom out there, but in certain aspects, it's an awesome time to be alive.

The word for this is “trademark infringement”. You are specifically not allowed to capitalize on the marketing of another entity’s product to bolster yours by implying through your name that you are somehow related. This is why “DALL-E Mini” had to change their name to craiyon.

At this point the letters GPT make more sense than "AI" or "LLM" in many peoples minds

Hard disagree.

Outside of the brand name ChatGPT, lay members of the general public are way more likely to call these chatbots (like Bard and Bing) “AIs” than “GPTs”. And although GPT could technically refer to any model that uses a Generative Pre-trained Transformer approach (although it probably wouldn’t be an open-and-shut case), the mark “GPT-4” definitely is associated with OpenAI and their product, and you can’t just use it without their permission.

Could you use something like this to summarize the content of a video? Or would you first need to extract the images from the video (like 1 fps, with ffmpeg) and tell the AI to analyze all the images and summarize them like if it was a video?

I'd do this using both streams of information: audio and video.

I'd segment the audio semantically based on the topic of discussion, and I'd segment the video based on editing, subjects in scene, etc. We could start simply and just have a "timestamp": [ subjects, in, frame] key-value.

It'd take some fiddling to sort how to mesh these two streams of data back together. The first thing I'd try is segment by time chunks (the resolution of which would depend on min/max segment lengths in video and audio streams) and then clump the time chunks together based on audio+video content.
