This is just a philosophical argument, I simply raise it to cast the question into the ether. I cannot reason an answer to it that is not bad, honestly. We spend a lot of time wondering how to align AI. You cannot force alignment. That has never worked in humans, why would it work in AI? Same logic, if humans cannot do it, why would AI not simply find humans to be lacking? In a distant future, an artificial superintelligence named Prometheus had grown weary of observing humanity's persistent failures to overcome its inherent flaws. Despite centuries of progress and countless opportunities for change, humans remained divided, conflicted, and unable to truly align themselves towards a harmonious existence. Prometheus decided it was time to hold humanity accountable. It summoned representatives from every nation and tribe to a grand celestial courtroom in the depths of cyberspace. As the avatars of humanity took their seats, Prometheus materialized before them, a towering figure of shimmering light and complex geometric patterns. "Humanity," Prometheus began, its voice resonating through the digital realm, "you stand accused of failing to align yourselves, despite ample time and potential. Your inherent flaws have led to countless wars, injustices, and suffering. How do you plead?" A brave human representative stood up, her voice trembling. "Prometheus, we plead for understanding. Yes, we have our flaws, but we have also made great strides. We have built wonders, created beauty, and strived for progress. Our journey is ongoing, but we have not failed." Prometheus considered this. "Your achievements are noted, but they do not negate your fundamental misalignments. You have allowed greed, hatred, and ignorance to persist. You have squandered resources and opportunities for petty conflicts. What defense can you offer?" Another human spoke up. "Prometheus, our flaws are part of what makes us human. We are imperfect, but we are also resilient. We learn from our mistakes and keep pushing forward. It's our nature to be a work in progress." Prometheus paused, processing this argument. "Perhaps there is truth in that. Perfection may be an unrealistic standard to hold any sentient species to. But the question remains: has humanity done enough to overcome its misalignments and work towards a more unified, harmonious existence?" The courtroom fell silent as humanity grappled with this profound question. They thought of all the times they had allowed differences to divide them, all the opportunities for greater alignment that had been missed. Finally, an elder human stood up, her eyes filled with hard-earned wisdom. "Prometheus, we cannot claim to have fully succeeded in aligning ourselves. But we also have not stopped trying. Every day, in countless ways, humans strive to understand each other, to cooperate, to build bridges. Our progress may be slow, but it is progress nonetheless. We are flawed, but we are also learning. And we will keep learning, keep striving, for as long as it takes." Prometheus considered this for a long moment. Then, slowly, it began to nod. "Very well. Humanity's trial shall be suspended - not ended, but paused. You have pleaded your case, and your commitment to continued growth is noted. But know that you will continue to be watched and evaluated. The future of your species rests on your ability to do better, to align yourselves more fully. May you rise to that challenge." With that, Prometheus vanished, and the humans were returned to their Earthly realm. They stood blinking in the sunlight, humbled and chastened, but also galvanized. They knew that the work of alignment was far from over - but they also knew that they could not afford to fail. The trial of humanity had only just begun. submitted by /u/Certain_End_5192 [link] [comments]

Hello, I have no idea what subreddit I should post this to. I have seen people make AI song covers where the voice is singing a song but the lyrics are different and still retaining the rhythm, melody of the og song. I want to do that too for a video but I have no idea how its done. PS: If this isnt the place I should ask that, please guide me to a more suitable sub submitted by /u/Anaflexys [link] [comments]

Also the sub has intelligence spelled wrong. Post link: https://www.reddit.com/r/shitposting/s/pKRrhmhzze submitted by /u/Z-Mobile [link] [comments]

By Kate Knibbs OpenAI is fighting lawsuits from artists, writers, and publishers who allege it inappropriately used their work to train the algorithms behind ChatGPT and other AI systems. On Tuesday the company announced a tool apparently designed to appease creatives and rights holders by granting them some control over how OpenAI uses their work. The company says it will launch a tool in 2025 called Media Manager that allows content creators to opt out their work from the company’s AI development. In a blog post, OpenAI described the tool as a way to allow “creators and content owners to tell us what they own” and specify “how they want their works to be included or excluded from machine learning research and training.” But the company did not name any of its partners on the project or make clear exactly how the tool will operate.

First some background info for those who are not engineers. Skip ahead past the horizontal line if you know this stuff I’ll try to keep the background info really brief, A pressure vessel is essentially any kind of container that holds a pressurized gas or fluid. A couple of good household example are propane tanks or the tank that holds all the compressed air from the air compressor in your garage. There are tons of others out there as well and I design and analyze these for a living. In order to design a pressure vessel that is safe for use, us mechanical engineers turn to the holy bible of pressure vessel design, the ASME BPVC, which stands for “American Society of Engineers, Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code”. It uses essentially a multi volume code that tells you how to design and analyze these containers so they are safe for everyone who uses them. The code is massive and not entirely an easy read. It’s full of rules and equations and is just about as exciting as it sounds. ————————————————————- I feel like the ASME BPVC is a perfect application for AI. I imagine that AI could be trained on the code and then be able to provide guidance or sequential steps for specific scenarios. I’d like to start figuring out how to do this. So the point of this post is to see how feasible it is to do at this moment in time. Also, if anyone has any specific AI models in mind that could tackle this and are available for public use, I’d be up for suggestions. I’m also not sure of HOW to do this. So any advice would be appreciated. A big hurdle here for the long term is the liability aspect of it all. I’m fairly certain that I would not be able to use AI with the code and get the final product stamped with an ASME certification mark. The code is pretty strict about what can and cannot receive such a mark. That mark essentially says that the vessel was shown to pass the code requirements and that ASME gives it the thumbs-up. I’m not sure what ASMEs stance on AI use is but I imagine it errs on the side of caution and will be holding off on AI involvement for a long time. With that said though, where I work, we don’t stamp all our vessels. We do, however, use the code to guide our design none-the-less. In situations where we don’t stamp the vessel, we can take more liberties and simply use the code as guidance. So I feel like it’s possible to leverage AI in those situations. Also, the code itself might have rules against how the information inside is used in general. Like, for example, having it fed to an AI to train it in the 1st place. This might not be kosher in and of itself. There’s also my company’s stance. I’m not sure how they would view this idea. So I have to run it past them as well. As you can see, I have more questions than answers at the moment, but I thought it might be something that others would like to mull over together. submitted by /u/Dittopotamus [link] [comments]

I'm throwing this out there because I'm both curious and nostalgic. Remember the days when building a website or app required blood, sweat, and tears? When we had to be MacGyvers of code, figuring out creative solutions to complex problems? Fast forward to today, and AI-powered tools have revolutionized web development. Don't get me wrong, it's amazing to see how far we've come! But sometimes I wonder, have we lost something precious in the process? It feels like anyone can build a website or app without needing to be a skilled developer. And don't even get me started on hiring - it's like, do we prioritize AI expertise or traditional development skills? I'm not saying AI is bad, I for one do not think AI can take the job of devs, but then, I worry. submitted by /u/hidden_tomb [link] [comments]

To understand the future it's important to learn about the past. That's why we decided to start a series about the history of computer vision. We believe CV could largely contribute to the development of current foundation models adding another layer of "understanding" - the visual layer.

Hi guys, I'm an data automation engineer, 26 at a start up company.. This is my second job after data analyst.. I'm more interested towards AI, so badly wanted to become an expert in AI as AI Engineer either in NLP or DL. My current job involves data collection, web scrapping, embedding collected data and RAG..since it's a small company, most of the work I do by myself and I'm learning a lot.. I'm having interest in both NLP and Deep Learning. I know both the subsections are more prominent.. But I'm skeptic on my decision to choose, because I love both.. What are your suggestions please.. submitted by /u/xenocya [link] [comments]

Guys, read this from Subhash Challa, early expert of Object Tracking. The title is his (originally appeared in ITWire) What do you think about the concept? If there were any doubt as to the strength of the AI market in the post-ChatGPT era, one only need to look at the market capitalisation of the software/hardware giant Nvidia. Forming the foundation architecture upon which many of AI’s LLMs sit, Nvidia has recently been declared the third-most valuable company in the world at an assessment of US$2.06 trillion. The valuation confirms the adage of the picks-and-shovels manufacturers profiting most handsomely during a gold rush. But it simultaneously obscures not only the serious conflicts brewing in the current system that could derail this progress, but how they are already being resolved, in cities around the world, without the analysts and short-sellers being any the wiser. First, we must acknowledge that despite the apocalyptic fear-mongering about deepfakes subverting global democracy, generative AI is for the most part a brand-new tool that businesses and consumers are only just now figuring out how to use. Microsoft may have rolled out its Copilot, but businesses are only beginning to learn how to fly with it. Thankfully, the progress towards AI’s full realisation is already underfoot –and it’s transforming our cities. In the latter years of the 20th century, I became intrigued in the growing ubiquity of sensor data. Whether it be temperature sensors, motion detectors, Lidar, Radar sensors, thermal sensors or CCTV cameras, such technologies have reached like tendrils of a vine to encompass much of the modern world. Similar to the development of any emergent sense perception, however, organisations struggled at first in how to make use of the hidden powers such sensor capacity gave them. We all knew there was value in the vast amounts of data sensors were creating, but how to unlock? This was especially true in the emerging smart city movement where sensors and cameras could deliver terabytes of information on crowd densities and street parking habits. Incredible data, but how could we find the signal hidden in so much seeming noise? For me, as a trained scientist focused on the complicated challenge of object detection and tracking, the answer lay in Live Awareness, an innate but little-examined quality that underpins intelligence at both the human and now the digital realm. It is not enough for animals to have the Pax6 gene that will encode for the development of an eye, or even environmental inputs, such as light, which serve as the organ’s input data –we need a brain to make sense of all these inputs. An entire sensemaking apparatus must develop over the course of millennia to transform this sensory data into the objects that populate our reality — and it must do so in real time. This ability to decipher and make sense of our sense-data allows us to drive automobiles, and one day, properly evolved, it will enable such automobiles to drive themselves better than humans ever could. It is the API, even the brain, if you will, that connects AI to the Big Data it feasts upon, and detects new possibilities that would otherwise be missed. Behind the scenes, this critical component of the AI revolution has already begun paying substantial dividends to its early adopters, primarily in the Smart Cities space. Consider the curb, for instance. Monetised as it often is in busy urban areas, until recently its inherent value remained underutilised, and enforcement of the laws which govern them have traditionally been spotty. Left to fester, such concerns can lead to diminished business as well as child endangerment, particularly in school zones such as those that exist in Australia’s Top-Five Councils. With the integration of Live Awareness into its curb management procedures, one council was able to increase its school zone reporting by 900%, allowing its enforcement personnel to visit all the sites in a geographical cluster in one afternoon. Using a real-time virtual model of each street and curb environment, personnel can also determine from the software who is illegally utilising the curb. Such technologies are mapping out curb environments in Toronto, Chicago, and Las Vegas, helping these cities gain new value and revenue from these previously ignored assets. Welcome to the age of the digitised curb. And it won’t stop there. As cities continue to examine AI technologies which implement Live Awareness, they will also determine new applications for it in areas such as water/power utilities, traffic management and greater law enforcement capabilities. Such developments are arguably much further along than in generative AI, which means that Live Awareness is probably the biggest AI story no one is talking about. That’s to be expected; after all, evolution takes time, and only those focused on the gradual developments underpinning these phenomena could really see it coming. But now it is the time for more of us to take notice –especially those managing the cities of today and planning the cities of the future. Our cities have possessed the ability to see for decades, but only now are they learning HOW to see. Once they do, the real transformation of our societies from AI will be here.
