This Chinese Startup Is Winning the Open Source AI Race
Kai-Fu Lee, an AI expert and prominent investor who helped Google and Microsoft get established in China, says his new startup 01.AI will create the first “killer apps” of generative AI.Meta shook up the race to build more powerful artificial intelligence last July by releasing Llama 2, an AI model similar to the one behind ChatGPT, for anyone to download and use. In November, a little-known startup from Beijing, 01.AI, released its own open source model that outperforms Llama 2 and scores near the top of many leaderboards used to compare the power of AI models.
Within a few days of its release 01.AI’s model, Yi-34B, rocketed to the top spot on a ranking maintained by startup Hugging Face, which compares the abilities of AI language models across various standard benchmarks for automated intelligence. A few months on, modified versions of 01.AI’s model consistently score among the top models available to developers and companies on the Hugging Face list and other leaderboards. On Monday, the startup launched a “multimodal” AI model called Yi-VL-34B that can process images and discuss their contents.

It could also fit perfectly in these other threads: UK is fucked, Europe is fucked, the world is fucked, signs of..., World War 3, tweet of the day, etc.

If AI can do your job and you're sad that's a personal problem.
If AI can do your job and you can't make a living that's a problem with the system.palimpsest - AI is not the problem.palimpsest
- Are you sure?OBBTKN
- 100% positive, chief.palimpsest
- Always positive! I'm just sad for many artists who have inspired me so far ;)OBBTKN
- And I welcome this fresh new look into "artists". I'm sad for them to. But it's argument I've been making before AI.palimpsest

The Cult of AI
How one writer's trip to an annual tech conference left him with a sinking feeling about the futureI WAS WATCHING a video of a keynote speech at the Consumer Electronics Show for the Rabbit R1, an AI gadget that promises to act as a sort of personal assistant, when a feeling of doom took hold of me.
It wasn’t just that Rabbit’s CEO Jesse Lyu radiates the energy of a Kirkland-brand Steve Jobs. And it wasn’t even Lyu’s awkward demonstration of how the Rabbit’s camera can recognize a photo of Rick Astley and Rickroll the owner — even though that segment was so cringe it caused me chest pains.
No, the real foreboding came during a segment when Lyu breathlessly explained how the Rabbit could order pizza for you, telling it “the most-ordered option is fine,” leaving his choice of dinner up to the Pizza Hut website. After that, he proceeded to have the Rabbit plan an entire trip to London for him. The device very clearly just pulled a bunch of sights to see from some top-10 list on the internet, one that was very likely AI-generated itself.

- sure its great... accelerate so fast it squashes your already dumbass mind right into further stupidity at the next curve...neverscared
- ffs - we're all doomed!utopian
- 1 in 10,000 people ACTUALLY need a personal assistant... the rest of us normies get by just fine.jonny_quest_lives

- It only costs $200 so I think it's more like a proof of concept of a different kind of device.yuekit
- It's certainly interesting from a UI design perspective (designed by the company that makes the OP-1 sampler).yuekit
- Does it make the trip to London in your place? If not, I don't want it.palimpsest
- is there a left handed user option?jonny_quest_lives
- Anything to declare?
Yeah, don’t go to Londonnb - What NB saidmaikel
- Combine this AI Rabbit with the other kind of Rabbit device and a whole new level of productivity.ETM

Every company seems to have quickly rolled out some kind of "AI feature" just to show they are keeping up with the trend.
A couple days ago I needed to how to figure how to do something on a CMS platform. The site now defaults you to an AI chatbot rather than a real person and the AI proceeded to tell me, in very detailed instructions, exactly the opposite of what I was supposed to do. If I had followed their advice it would have seriously messed up the client's site and potentially cost them tens of thousands of dollars.
Fortunately I noticed that in the actual documentation it said the AI was wrong. The real support person tried to laugh it off like "oh the AI is still learning, give them a break" but it's just weird how companies are apparently prepared to give their customers the wrong information just to promote this new technology.

Drove by this tonight and was thinking of the insane cost... people, equipment, taking over the street, catering, plus these union film crew dudes that do fuck all most of the time for a few minutes of footage that AI will be able to crank out in 2 seconds.
I give these scenes 5 more years max.
- "thinking of the insane cost" production costs aren't really that high studios usually inflate the cost to cut investors from net profit participationjonny_quest_lives
- where you see insane costs studios are like "it sure looks like a lot is going on mark up our production budget up 40% so we can protect our net profit"jonny_quest_lives

- 40 people, earning $30/hr, for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week is $48,000. 40 people is low, $30 is low, it takes longer than a week to make a movie, etc, etc...imbecile

The growing market for ‘pet communication buttons’ is leading to a rise in the number of extremely impressive videos and blogs from pet owners documenting how their animals – particularly canines – use talking pet buttons. I recently tried a couple of these button sets on my dog, Calypso, and she gave them a bit of a half-hearted chew before losing all interest, so we won’t be starting any TikTok trends just yet. What is more, recent headlines suggest that AI, and in particular large language models, can help us translate the sounds animals make to communicate with each other into human language. Wittgenstein's philosophy can help us understand why such far-fetched claims of animals communicating in a human language, and humans understanding animal language are misleading.
- always thought the dog was smarter in this regard, having to discern which phrase impressed their owner enough to feed, let them out etc.imbecile
- it comes across as communication because other humans understand what each other are saying. i could just as easily train my dog to sit when i say run.imbecile

Apple releases an AI model that can edit images based on text-based commands.
The model called MLLM-Guided Image Editing (MGIE), which uses multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to interpret text-based commands when manipulating images. In other words, the tool has the ability to edit photos based on the text the user types in.
Try it here...

AI Will Transform the Global Economy. Let’s Make Sure It Benefits Humanity.
AI will affect almost 40 percent of jobs around the world, replacing some and complementing others. We need a careful balance of policies to tap its potential.

I've watched this twice and can't make heads or tails of it mostly because I'm an idiot, but it seems like a scam, anyone care to take a Quick Look and let us know if this is legit/doable?

AI ‘resurrects’ long dead dictator in murky new era of deepfake electioneering
A once-feared army general, who ruled Indonesia with an iron fist for more than three decades, has a message for voters ahead of upcoming elections – from beyond the grave.
“I am Suharto, the second president of Indonesia,” the former general says in a three-minute video that has racked up more than 4.7 million views on X and spread to TikTok, Facebook and YouTube.
