Oh I can just see it. A fire. A desperate resident. A plea for help. "Fucking help me!!!" screamed out. Rather than activate the sprinklers, ChatGPT admonishing the on fire, burning person, for language, and a lack of respect. This is the AI is see currently. A hazard. A menace. A joke.

It's getting cheaper: https://coral.ai/products/ $20 for the SMD TPU isn't bad, but it's definitely at the top end of the BOM for custom PCB projects. Ideally we'll see some competition with on-package options.

If you see a usb one for sale somewhere in Canada near msrp please let me know!

"Internet of Things will not happen until LAN of Things arrives", to paraphrase someone. This already happens in the industry, like heavy industry. At home, it's held back by absence of an adequate server. Often a router box or a NAS would be fine to host something like OwnCloud. But to run ML middle, different and much more expensive hardware is required, which would sit idle 99% of time.

Any idea if anyone will spin a board with a bunch of these and 12G of VRAM for loading LLMs?

> If I say "it's too chilly in here" in a house with only lights, it will turn them on as a way of "warming things up". is it bad that I'm on GPT's side on this, i mean if they are incandescent lights they are small electric heaters and what else do you expect it to do

It would probably be more useful to report to the user that it doesn’t have any control over than aspect of the environment. I’d be curious to see what it does if it is told the sun is too bright…

With given access to more resources, it might try to permanently solve skin cancer.

I have been using chat GPT to control my light colours for about a month now. It's too tedious to properly set the colours and temperatures of our lights manually and too complex to consider all factors like activity, weather, music, time of day and season. Chat GPT is now our personal lighting DJ, giving us dynamic and interesting light combinations that respect our circadian rhythm. Here's my prompt - the output of…

FWIW, I just tried the same prompt with open assistant

> {"primary_hue": 345, "complementary_hue": 55, "reason": "For bedtime, warm orange tones at 345 create relaxation while paired with cool green at 55 helps prepare your body for sleep."}

You can absolutely replace this with something self hosted, this was using the `oasst-sft-6-llama-30b` model on https://open-assistant.io
