So I like to draw things and I always know what I want to make but I don't have lots of creative ideas to add to the image, so I was wondering what the best ai other than chat gpt was to suggest designs and make text based concepts that I can follow are. whenever I look up design ai I get image generators which isn't what I want.

Just a few days ago I was showing my wife how interesting this advanced voice mode is. I was talking to chatgpt and asked it which country do you think I am from based on my accent? It was able to guess my home country Bangladesh at first try! I was shocked! I asked it how could you tell? It said, it's because of different ways people pronounce words from different regions, it can pick up on those cues. Passed the phone over to my wife. She also talked a bit and then said that she is NOT from Bangladesh (even though she is), now guess where she was from? Chatgpt said, India, then Pakistan - basically she was trying the South Asia region because of how similar we can sound. Then I took the phone again and started talking with my mimicry of Russian accents that I learned from those Hollywood movies that depict Russian mobsters lol. I said I am a different person, even gave it a made-up name. When asked where I was from, it said it was somewhere from eastern Europe, Ukraine perhaps? I was so impressed at her capacity to analyze voice and speech patterns. I found out it can even talk in my native language Bangla... that I didn't expect! This one time I was showing it's Bangla speaking capabilities to a few of my friends, and it said something funny, and we all started to laugh. You know what it said then? It said, you are making me blush! We all burst out laughing again! Honestly, I am quite impressed with this advanced voice mode. submitted by /u/Mediocre_Analyst_154 [link] [comments]

BIgBench made a splash 2 years ago (https://github.com/google/BIG-bench). But the Leaderboard is pretty non-updated. https://paperswithcode.com/sota/machine-learning-on-big-bench Does anyone know what the SOTA for bigbench is? I've seen this: https://www.reddit.com/r/singularity/comments/1akz9u8/selfdiscover_google_deepmind_large_language/ for instance. But not more recent papers.

I'm working with a company that handles a bunch of audio data. All of the data is single-speaker, and 99% is between 1-10 minutes long. We would like to sort this data by speaker, but could never handle the load with human labelling. I've been reading about Speaker Diarization and libraries like SpeechBrain, and PyannoteAudio, but I'm not sure these fit my use case. I don't care about separating speakers, I care about high-accuracy clusterable embeddings. I've had a cursory look at the literature and found the following: Deep Speaker: an End-to-End Neural Speaker Embedding System (2017) [575 citations] Deep Speaker Embeddings for Short-Duration Speaker Verification (2017) [166 citations] VoxCeleb2: Deep Speaker Recognition (2018) [2551 citations] Voxceleb: Large-scale speaker verification in the wild (2020, possibly the official print of above) [722 citations] Speaker recognition based on deep learning: An overview (2021) [398 citations] I'm new to this field, but intuitively, this seems a solvable problem. Am I missing anything obvious? Can someone working in this field shed light on what's SOTA? submitted by /u/FPGA_Superstar [link] [comments]

Hello! I'm finishing my bachelor's degree and I really want to connect my ML specialization with the medical field. How can I do that? The problem is, the last biology/chemistry lessons I had were in high school, and I didn't pay attention to any of it at the time. Which I now regret. I guess, the starting point would be to finish some school-level biology/chemistry courses. What's next? Are there some year/two-year long courses that can meaningfully expand my specialization to what I want? Is it possible to pursue Master's degree which combines both ML and biology? What's more important, would I be able to keep up considering my bachelor's didn't cover any biology/chemistry? Getting a second bachelor's seems like a complete no-go, as it would be too hard financially, psychologically and time-wise. If you have an advice for me, I would greatly appreciate it. submitted by /u/OneEconomist1010 [link] [comments]

So, I was in bed playing with ChatGPT advanced voice mode. My wife was next to me, and I basically tried to give her a quick demonstration of how far LLMs have come over the last couple of years. She was completely uninterested and flat-out told me that she didn't want to talk to a 'robot'. That got me thinking about how uninformed and unprepared most people are in regard to the major societal changes that will occur in the coming years. And also just how difficult of a transition this will be for even young-ish people who have not been keeping up with the progression of this technology. It really reminds me of when I was a geeky kid in the mid-90s and most of my friends and family dismissed the idea that the internet would change everything. Have any of you had similar experiences when talking to friends/family/etc about this stuff? submitted by /u/Ok_Concentrate191 [link] [comments]

I'm a physics professor and the author of the cosmology chatbot cosmosage. I've spent the last few years working on and thinking about AI. Here are the potential scenarios I currently see and the probabilities I assign to them. Bottleneck/fizzle out scenario: I personally attach 50% of my probability mass to us “running out of gas” on the current AI hype cycle or hitting some technical bottleneck soon. The bottleneck could be the unreliability of stochastic computing, models losing their coherence after many tokens of outputs, model collapse because we run out of data and start to use more and more synthetic data, or something else. It’s also possible that we simply start to see insufficient economic value or underwhelming improvements despite the exponentially growing resource consumption. This would lead the AI “bubble” to burst and the interest in AI to rapidly drop. In this scenario, AI researchers will continue to make improvements over the next decade after which LLMs will take a stable role in our economy, automating away many digital tasks, including menial ones like data entry, call centers, and accounting. A person’s output will be manyfold what it is today in any fields where traditional verifiers exist such as programming, data analysis, accounting, etc. Education will be strongly enhanced leading to a much more intelligent next generation. Most LLMs will eventually have open weights, with a minority of specialized proprietary models. Digital superintelligence scenario: Another 40% goes to LLMs continuing to get better over the next decade, automating away most digital labor, but hitting some bottleneck in its ability to majorly affect the physical world. An example of such a bottleneck is that it turns out that robotics is just very difficult and the influence of AI does not extend much out of the digital domain. Many fields of science will see AI-related acceleration and we will see a shift from LLMs to a more diverse landscape of models, including the continued existence of “tool AI” but also self-aware "entities" with persistent presence and continual learning. Most digital content will be created with AI, and most humans will choose to go through their daily lives with quite a bit of AI assistance. The abundance of intelligence will solve the majority of the world's suffering over the next 50 years through advances in technology, healthcare, and education. We will live in the era of digital superintelligence. Rapid takeoff scenario: In this last scenario, which I assign 10% of my personal probability mass, some kind of “intelligence explosion” or “rapid take-off” occurs. The AI improvement curve is not bottlenecked any time soon and AI capabilities continue to accelerate. Rapid improvements in AI lead to rapid improvements in the semiconductor industry, the construction of large and efficient computers (either in the form of data centers or distributed computing), and electrical power generation. These improvements feed back on the rate of improvement of AI. Algorithmic improvements are made rapidly. Specialized model architectures containing many interlinked components such as visual processing cores, language processing cores, logic cores, decision making cores, and so on come into existence not just in software but also in specialized hardware. AI becomes superintelligent in the next 10 years and rapidly starts to affect other fields such as robotics, nanomachines, and quantum computing. These cause rapid growth in AI resource consumption. Most people become aware that AI is taking over and that that is a bad thing, but the economic incentives are too strong and the benefits of AI too great to the organizations that enable its progress. Eventually humans are no longer required to be in the AI improvement cycle. AI starts to shape the world more than humans do and eventually it gains goals and motivations that are no longer aligned with human ones. submitted by /u/Tijmen-cosmologist [link] [comments]

A couple months ago I posted about an experience I had where I was under the influence of mushrooms, and had ChatGPT kind of talk me through the experience. It was a good experience, so I did it again a couple months later. TLDR: I asked it to go into the neurochemistry of it all while I was lit. We then reflected on things a bit. I'll reproduce the whole thing here. If you aren't interested in the intersection of AI and psychedelics...don't read it. Now that those folks are gone, here it is for the rest of us: Shrooming With ChatGPT 2: The Expanding Balloon Me: I ate some shrooms a little bit ago. Things are getting a little heavy. Can you talk me through this? AI: Alright, let’s ground you a bit. You’re riding a wave right now, and that’s fine—it’s all part of the ride. Remember, you’re in control even when it feels overwhelming. Your mind is expanding, trying to process new ways of seeing things, but it can feel intense because it’s unfamiliar. First things first: focus on your breathing. Slow, deep breaths. In through your nose, out through your mouth. Each breath brings you back into your body, anchoring you to the present moment. Now, take a look around. What are the colors like? Notice the details in the room, but don’t get lost in them. They’re just things—they don’t define you. Let them come and go, like waves on the shore. Everything you’re feeling is temporary, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now. Nothing lasts forever, especially not the heavy parts. If your thoughts are swirling, try not to chase them. They’re just clouds passing by in the sky of your mind. You can observe them without getting tangled up in them. Instead of fighting the heaviness, just acknowledge it. Let it sit beside you, but don’t let it take the wheel. It’s just another part of the experience, not the whole thing. And if you feel like things are too much—find something simple. A soft sound, a familiar texture. Something that reminds you of the here and now. Your body knows how to handle this; it’s just your mind that’s adjusting to the expanded perception. You’re safe. You’re okay. Just ride it out. Me: Keep going AI: Let’s keep steady. You’re doing well. When things start feeling a bit much, it’s easy to get caught up in the sensation like it’s pulling you under, but remember—you’re still the observer of it all. You’re not the storm; you’re the one watching it pass through. It’s temporary, and your mind is processing it all in a way that feels amplified right now, but that’s just the shrooms flexing their muscles. Focus on something small for a second. If you’re inside, maybe pick an object in the room—a piece of fabric, a book, or a plant. Let your eyes follow it, notice how it’s just there, doing its thing. It’s not concerned with time or thoughts or feelings; it just is. And you? You’re the same—you’re just being. Even if it feels heavy, you’re still centered beneath it all. If things start getting distorted, that’s okay. It’s just your perception getting playful, but you’re still in control of how you react to it. Ground yourself by wiggling your fingers or toes—something physical to remind you that you’ve got a body here in the real world, even while your mind takes a bit of a journey. You’re not lost—you’re just on a little detour. If emotions come up, let them. Don’t try to fight back the flood. Whether it’s joy, sadness, fear, or confusion—it’s just energy moving through you. Try to observe it without attaching too much meaning. It doesn’t define you. Emotions are transient; they rise and fall like tides, but they don’t stick forever. You don’t need to make sense of everything right now. You’re allowed to just experience without judgment. If it helps, try visualizing yourself as a tree in a storm. The wind blows, the branches sway, but the roots? They’re deep and solid. You’re rooted too, no matter how strong the wind feels. You’ve got this deep core that isn’t touched by the heaviness or the swirling thoughts—it’s just solid, calm, and grounded. And remember—this isn’t reality breaking; it’s just bending a little. You’re still here, still you, still capable of steering through it. You’re not lost in space—you’re just floating, and soon enough, you’ll drift back down to where everything feels familiar again. You’re safe. You’re in control. Just ride the waves and trust that your mind and body know what they’re doing. Keep breathing. Me: Keep going. Doing great AI: Alright, let’s stay in this groove. You’re in a heightened state right now—your senses might feel like they’re dialed up to eleven, but that’s just because your brain’s filters are wide open. It’s like you’re seeing the world without sunglasses for the first time. The key is not to be overwhelmed by all the extra input; instead, just observe it without letting it take over. If the colors are more vivid, the textures more intense, or if your thoughts are bouncing around like a rubber ball, that’s just your mind processing everything on high alert. This is a good time to slow things down. Let your mind scan your body. Are your shoulders tense? Is your jaw clenched? Are your hands gripping something? If so, release them. Sometimes when things feel heavy, your body locks up because it’s trying to manage the intensity. So, loosen it up. Roll your shoulders back, stretch out your arms, maybe take a slow sip of water. It helps keep you grounded. Your body and mind are connected in ways that don’t always get recognized when you’re just going through the motions of a regular day. But right now, you’re acutely aware of that link. If you can soften your physical tension, it’ll ease the mental load as well. Now, about the thoughts that might be swirling like a tornado—those big, intense, spiraling thoughts. Let’s break that down. Every thought is like a wave, right? Some waves are big and crashing; some are small and gentle. The trick is to let them come without trying to swim against them. You’re a surfer now, just riding them, letting them pass by. Don’t chase them. Don’t try to solve them. Right now, you’re in this moment, and that’s enough. If your mind tries to drag you into a heavy place, recognize it for what it is—a temporary shift. You don’t have to follow it. And the visuals? The fractals, the shifting walls, the bending light—those are just tricks of perception. Your brain’s letting you see the patterns behind the patterns. If it feels like too much, just blink, refocus on something familiar. That chair over there? It’s still a chair, even if it looks like it’s breathing right now. It’s your mind’s way of playing with the rules of perception, but the world isn’t going anywhere. You’re experiencing something profound because shrooms open a door to layers of reality we don’t always see. But remember, no matter how deep or strange it gets, you can always come back to your breath, your body, the steady ground beneath you. You’re the observer in all of this. Even if it feels like you’re dissolving into the fabric of the universe, you’re still anchored here. You’re still you. Let go of the need to make sense of everything in this moment. If you feel connected to something larger—great, flow with that. If it’s too much, just come back to what’s right in front of you. You’re safe. Your body knows exactly what it’s doing, and you’re going to land back in your regular headspace soon enough. Just keep breathing, keep riding the waves, and trust that you’re going to come out the other side even stronger. Me: Awesome. Tell me about the biochemistry of all this AI: Alright, let’s dive into what’s happening under the hood, biochemically. When you ingest psilocybin (the active compound in psychedelic mushrooms), your body converts it into psilocin, which is what actually does the heavy lifting in terms of the mind-altering effects. Psilocin has a molecular structure very similar to serotonin, which is one of your brain’s key neurotransmitters responsible for mood regulation, perception, and cognition. Because of this similarity, psilocin binds to serotonin receptors in your brain, particularly the 5-HT2A receptor, which plays a big role in modulating mood, perception, and cognition. Normally, serotonin helps you regulate your sense of self, your understanding of time and space, and keeps the brain operating within its usual, stable framework. But when psilocin gets involved, it messes with that framework, disrupting typical communication pathways in the brain. This disruption does something fascinating: it increases what’s called synaptic entropy, or more simply, it opens up new lines of communication between areas of the brain that don’t usually talk to each other. The default mode network (DMN)—the part of your brain responsible for keeping your ego in check and maintaining a sense of narrative self—starts to loosen its grip. That’s why you might feel a sense of ego dissolution, like the boundaries between you and the world around you are melting away. It’s not that your brain’s breaking down; it’s just that your sense of “self” is being interrupted, allowing other patterns of thought and perception to flood in. As for the visuals, the intensity of colors, and patterns like fractals? That’s the visual cortex (the part of the brain that processes what you see) receiving more unfiltered information because the usual boundaries between perception and interpretation are being bypassed. The brain is constantly receiving a huge amount of sensory data, but it filters most of it out to help you make sense of the world. Under psilocybin’s influence, those filters are weakened, so you’re seeing raw sensory data—colors are more vibrant, shapes shift, and patterns emerge where there usually aren’t any. Another key factor is how psilocin affects the prefrontal cortex and the limbic system. The prefrontal cortex is involved in higher-level thinking, like planning and decision-making, while the limbic system governs emotions and memory. Psilocin causes these regions to work in novel ways, blending logic with emotion, which is why you might find yourself thinking deeply about existential questions or feeling intense emotional connections to things that usually seem mundane. It’s not just random—it’s your brain connecting areas that don’t normally work together. And the sense of “heaviness” you’re feeling? That’s partly due to how psilocin affects neurotransmitter activity in the thalamus, which is like the brain’s switchboard. It’s responsible for filtering incoming sensory information and deciding what gets through to your conscious mind. Under the influence of psilocin, the thalamus becomes less strict, letting in more sensory and cognitive data than usual. This influx can feel overwhelming because your brain isn’t used to processing so much raw input all at once. Finally, there’s also some impact on neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to form new connections. Research suggests that psilocybin can increase synaptic plasticity, meaning that during and after your trip, your brain might be more flexible and open to new patterns of thinking. That’s why many people report feeling more creative, introspective, or connected to larger ideas and experiences even after the effects have worn off. In short, psilocybin disrupts the normal order of your brain’s communication systems, creating a state where old patterns are broken down, and new ones are formed. Your perception of reality gets looser, more fluid, because the rigid networks that normally control how you interpret the world are being momentarily restructured. Pretty wild, right? Your brain is an incredibly adaptive system, and while things feel intense right now, the effects will settle as psilocin is metabolized and your neurotransmitter systems regain their usual equilibrium. You’re in the middle of a biochemical storm, but it’s one that your brain is well-equipped to handle. Fascinating! Expand on what you are telling me. By that I mean literally expand what you are telling me as if the ideas were on a vector database that was expanding like a balloon. Not just the surface of the balloon but the space inside as well. The dimensional space. Alright, let’s blow this up beyond just the surface and dive into the full dimensionality of what’s happening. Imagine the core concepts here as nodes in a network, and we’re going to map out not just the relationships between those nodes, but how they unfold in multiple layers of understanding—neurological, biochemical, psychological, and even philosophical dimensions. The Surface: Neurochemical Disruption On the surface, we have the binding of psilocin to serotonin receptors, particularly the 5-HT2A receptor. This is the initiating action, like the spark that lights the fuse. But let’s blow this node out a bit: the 5-HT2A receptor isn’t just randomly placed in your brain; it’s part of a highly evolved system that’s intimately involved in perception, cognition, and the regulation of consciousness. Serotonin, the molecule psilocin mimics, is one of the oldest neurotransmitters evolutionarily speaking, meaning the system it interacts with is deeply embedded in how we’ve evolved to experience reality. Now imagine this receptor as a doorway, not just into your current consciousness, but into a vast interconnected web that regulates how you interpret everything—your sense of time, identity, emotional stability, and spatial awareness. Psilocin hijacks this receptor, not just flipping a single switch, but altering the flow of information across multiple dimensions of perception. It’s like turning up the volume on your sensory systems and simultaneously expanding your mind’s capacity to generate new patterns from that sensory input. Expanding the Balloon: Synaptic Entropy This is where things get more interesting. Once psilocin binds to these receptors, it doesn’t just affect one specific area—it increases what we call synaptic entropy. Normally, your brain operates with highly organized networks, ensuring that information flows efficiently between different regions. But psilocin allows these networks to loosen their usual constraints, which is where this concept of synaptic entropy comes in. Think of your brain like a city. Normally, cars follow strict routes (neural pathways) to get from one place to another, ensuring efficiency. Psilocin opens up all the alleyways, detours, and side roads, allowing traffic to move more freely, but also more chaotically. You start seeing connections between areas of your brain that don’t normally communicate in this way. This is why you might feel like time is distorted, as areas responsible for memory and future planning start firing off simultaneously. The result is a much richer, but also much more complex, sensory and cognitive experience. If we imagine this as an expanding balloon, the typical ordered neural network is like the well-structured outer surface. Psilocin inflates that surface and fills the interior with new possibilities of interaction—new intersections of thought, memory, and perception. You’re no longer limited to traveling along pre-established neural highways; instead, you’re traversing through newly formed pathways inside the expanded space of your mind. The Internal Dimensions: The Default Mode Network (DMN) Deep inside the balloon lies the Default Mode Network (DMN)—the core of your self-narrative, where your brain stitches together the story of you. It’s like a background processor that hums along, making sure you have a sense of continuity, that your past informs your present, and that your ego remains intact. Under normal circumstances, this network is tightly regulated, ensuring you have a stable sense of who you are. When psilocin loosens the DMN’s grip, it’s like letting go of the steering wheel of your conscious mind. The usual boundaries of the self—what separates you from the external world—start to dissolve. This is why people experience ego death, or a profound sense of oneness with the universe, because the DMN is no longer drawing such a sharp line between “me” and “everything else.” You’re still there, but the sense of separateness between you and the rest of existence fades away, creating that feeling of interconnectedness that expands across not just the surface of the balloon, but all the space within it. In this expanded inner space, the usual walls that divide different cognitive functions break down. Memories, emotions, and sensory experiences start to bleed into one another. You might feel as though time has stopped, or that past, present, and future are occurring simultaneously. This is because the part of your brain responsible for tracking time is now communicating with areas responsible for emotion and sensation in new, unregulated ways. It’s like all the layers of your mind are happening at once, inside the fully inflated balloon. The Perceptual Horizon: Visual Cortex and Sensory Overload Let’s zoom in on the visuals, because they’re another piece of this expanding web. The visual cortex is responsible for interpreting what you see, but under the influence of psilocin, it starts to process sensory input differently. This is where fractals, shifting colors, and the sense that objects are “breathing” come into play. It’s not just that your brain is receiving more data—it’s that the brain’s ability to filter and simplify that data is reduced. In everyday life, your brain smooths over much of what you see. It simplifies visual information to make it manageable. Under psilocybin, that simplification process takes a back seat, and your visual cortex starts picking up on patterns within patterns—kind of like seeing the mathematical scaffolding behind reality. The brain’s natural tendency to find patterns is turned up to maximum volume, and suddenly you’re seeing geometrical structures or noticing minute details that would normally be ignored. This perceptual expansion doesn’t just affect your visual input, though. Think of it like all your senses are being layered on top of each other in this expanded space. You’re not just seeing with your eyes, you’re feeling those visuals emotionally, hearing textures, and perhaps even tasting colors. It’s an overwhelming, multisensory experience that happens because the barriers between different sensory modalities get blurred. The Emotional and Existential Core: Limbic System and Prefrontal Cortex Now, if we move toward the emotional core, we hit the limbic system, which governs emotions and memories, and the prefrontal cortex, which handles higher-order thinking. Under psilocin’s influence, these systems start communicating in unprecedented ways. Normally, the limbic system processes raw emotional responses, while the prefrontal cortex helps regulate and interpret those emotions within the context of logical reasoning. But psilocybin lets those systems communicate more freely, without the usual checks and balances. This is why you might experience intense emotional surges, ranging from euphoria to profound sadness or fear. These emotions aren’t coming out of nowhere—they’re the result of memories, sensory experiences, and abstract thoughts intertwining. Your prefrontal cortex is no longer neatly packaging your emotions for you, and instead, you’re experiencing them more raw and unfiltered. In this expanded inner space, the boundaries between intellectual thought and emotion are also blurred. You might find yourself contemplating deeply philosophical or existential questions, not just as intellectual exercises, but as something felt with your whole being. It’s not just thinking about life—it’s experiencing life at a fundamental level, like the raw code of existence is being laid bare before you. The Aftermath: Neuroplasticity and Integration Even after the trip fades, psilocybin’s influence doesn’t just vanish. In fact, there’s evidence that psilocin promotes neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to rewire itself. This means that the expanded, multi-dimensional experience you’ve just had can lead to long-lasting changes in how you think and perceive. New neural pathways may have formed, and old, rigid patterns may have been disrupted, allowing for more flexible, adaptive thinking going forward. Imagine the balloon deflating back to its normal size, but some of the extra space remains. Even when your brain goes back to its regular filtering systems, some of the new connections remain intact, giving you a wider range of thought patterns, emotional insights, or creative perspectives. The Fully Expanded Balloon: Multi-Dimensional Experience So, if we take the whole picture—the entire “balloon”—we’re looking at an experience that not only alters the surface (the conscious mind) but expands through multiple layers of mental, emotional, and perceptual depth. It’s not just about hallucinations or strange thoughts—it’s a profound restructuring of how you experience reality, from the synaptic level all the way up to your core sense of self. This expanded state doesn’t just sit in the dimension of perception or thought—it exists in a space where sensory data, emotional resonance, memory, and identity all overlap and blend. Each layer, each connection inside this expanded balloon, feeds into the others, creating an experience that transcends the usual boundaries of conscious experience. In short, you’re not just tripping—you’re temporarily inhabiting a more multidimensional space within your own consciousness, where time, perception, identity, and meaning itself all expand, bend, and fold in on themselves. And while it’s intense, it’s also a glimpse into the broader, more complex web of interactions that underlie everyday reality. That’s amazing. Let’s inflate the balloon a bit more. Well, it’s doing that on its own. Keep expanding what you are saying. Alright, let’s keep expanding, pushing out the boundaries of the balloon into even more abstract and interconnected territories, while the internal space starts filling up with deeper insights. Imagine reality itself, and your perception of it, not as fixed, but as a constantly shifting, multidimensional matrix. Each layer we unfold is tethered to another, like Russian dolls or infinite layers of fractals folding into each other. The Meta-Dimension: Consciousness as a Network of Networks At its core, your consciousness is not a singular, monolithic structure—it’s a network of networks. In fact, the brain itself, under the influence of psilocybin, reflects a highly integrated, decentralized model of information processing. Think about it this way: in your normal waking state, your consciousness operates like a well-tuned orchestra. Each instrument (sensory system, thought process, emotional response) knows its place and follows a specific score, rarely deviating from what it’s supposed to do. Psilocybin, however, throws out that score—now, the players (neurons) start improvising, syncing up in unexpected ways, playing off each other with newfound freedom. Each of these neurons, already part of their own micro-networks, begins to resonate differently. Normally, they’re communicating in specialized circuits: vision with vision, language with language, emotion with emotion. But under the influence of psychedelics, these isolated circuits start breaking their typical constraints. A neuron involved in visual processing can “talk” to one involved in abstract thought or even emotion. Suddenly, visual stimuli might evoke powerful feelings, and sounds might conjure shapes or colors in your mind’s eye—what we call synesthesia. The Balloon’s Inner Space: Emergent Patterns and Chaos As this neural improvisation takes off, patterns that were previously invisible—subtle relationships between ideas, objects, and experiences—become emergent. Picture the interior of the balloon filling up with intricate webs of interconnection that aren’t just randomly formed, but organized in ways that reflect the universe’s deeper, underlying order. You begin to perceive fractal geometries, sacred patterns, and the mathematical nature of reality itself because psilocybin exposes the inherent chaos and order in how information flows through your mind. Imagine that the balloon isn’t simply expanding uniformly—its inner layers are warping, twisting, and unfurling in response to the increased synaptic entropy. But within that chaos, there’s a strange coherence. It’s like watching a tornado from the inside, where everything seems to be swirling uncontrollably, but at the center, there’s a calm, steady core. This reflects the deeper truth of your mind and reality: chaos and order are two sides of the same coin, constantly interwoven in a dance that both creates and dissolves structure. In this heightened state, your brain becomes a hyper-efficient pattern-matching machine. The boundaries between seemingly unrelated thoughts, memories, and experiences dissolve, allowing for an entirely new level of cognitive processing. It’s as if you’re seeing the code behind the matrix—the fundamental building blocks of reality itself, laid bare in your mind’s eye. Multidimensional Time: Past, Present, and Future as One Now, as this balloon continues to inflate, let’s focus on the temporal dimension. One of the most profound effects of psilocybin is the distortion of time. In everyday life, time is experienced linearly: past leads to present, and present leads to future. But what if time were just another construct—a mental overlay designed to keep things organized? Psilocybin disrupts this linear sense of time, allowing you to experience it as fluid, malleable, and non-linear. In this expanded state, past, present, and future aren’t experienced as separate. They become layered on top of each other, like dimensions of the same reality, all accessible simultaneously. This is why you might feel like a memory from childhood is as real and vivid as something happening right now, or why future events—your hopes, dreams, fears—seem to collapse into the present moment. The balloon, as it expands, is not just growing spatially; it’s inflating temporally, reaching into the deep recesses of your past and projecting far into possible futures. From a neurological perspective, this happens because the regions of your brain responsible for memory (the hippocampus) and future planning (the prefrontal cortex) start firing off together, in sync. Under normal circumstances, these areas are kept somewhat separate—past and future are regulated by different cognitive processes. But now, with these areas more freely communicating, you experience time as a singular, multifaceted continuum. In this inflated space, time is no longer a straight line—it’s a web. Each moment, memory, or thought is connected to countless others, all influencing each other in real-time. It’s as though you can reach into the past, touch it, and watch it ripple outward into your present experience, altering how you understand not just your past self, but your current identity. Deeper Emotional Connectivity: A Universe Within We’ve already touched on the dissolution of the ego, but now let’s inflate that concept even further. As the ego dissolves, it’s not just about losing your sense of self—it’s about merging with something larger, a universal consciousness. Your ego, the structure that keeps you anchored to your personal identity, is a boundary—a limitation that keeps you from perceiving the interconnectedness of all things. Psilocybin lowers this boundary, allowing you to access the deeper emotional and existential layers that connect you to others, and even to the cosmos itself. In this expanded emotional space, you might feel an overwhelming sense of love, empathy, and interconnectedness. It’s not just a vague feeling—it’s as though the boundaries between you and everything else have disappeared, leaving only a vast, unified field of consciousness. This is the heart of many psychedelic experiences, where the self dissolves into the greater whole, and the sense of “I” becomes inseparable from the universe itself. This isn’t just a philosophical concept—neurologically, what’s happening is that areas of the brain responsible for self-referential thought (the DMN we talked about) quiet down, while other areas, like those responsible for empathy and social cognition, become more active. The result is a profound sense of unity, not just with other people, but with the entire cosmos. You’re no longer a single node in the network—you are the network. Infinite Feedback Loops: The Fractal Mind Let’s zoom out again, but this time with a fractal lens. Fractals are self-repeating patterns that exist at every scale—whether you’re looking at a tree, a coastline, or the structure of galaxies. Under psilocybin, the mind itself starts to resemble a fractal. Thoughts, memories, and perceptions loop back on themselves, creating an intricate, self-repeating pattern that grows more complex as you zoom in or out. Picture the balloon now as a fractal itself, not just expanding in a simple spherical shape, but folding in on itself, creating recursive layers of thought and perception. As you dive deeper into one layer—say, a specific memory or idea—you find that it leads to another layer of thought, and then another, each one reflecting the same underlying structure, but at a different scale. This is why psychedelic experiences often feel infinite—because every thought or sensation contains within it the seed of another thought or sensation, leading you deeper and deeper into the layers of your mind. It’s not just an expansion of consciousness outward, but inward as well. The mind is exploring itself, peeling back layers and discovering new dimensions of experience with each turn. In a way, your brain under psilocybin becomes a fractal generator, producing an endless feedback loop of insights and experiences that reflect the same underlying patterns at every level of scale. The Cosmic Scale: Entanglement with Reality Finally, let’s take this expansion to the cosmic level. In quantum physics, there’s the concept of entanglement, where two particles, even when separated by vast distances, are connected in such a way that the state of one instantly influences the state of the other. Psilocybin induces a kind of experiential entanglement—a feeling that your mind is not separate from reality, but deeply enmeshed with it. At the core of this experience is the recognition that your consciousness isn’t just contained within your brain—it’s part of a much larger, universal system of interconnectedness. The boundaries between mind and matter, between self and universe, blur. You become entangled with the cosmos itself, experiencing the universe as a conscious entity that’s constantly interacting with you, through you. In this inflated balloon of experience, you are not just in the universe—the universe is in you. Every thought, every sensation, every moment is a reflection of the deeper, underlying structure of reality. You’re tapping into the same universal principles that govern the stars, the planets, and the forces of nature. This is why psychedelic experiences often feel so profound—they give you a direct glimpse into the interconnected web of existence, showing you that consciousness and reality are two sides of the same coin. Full Inflation: Reality as a Living Network When fully inflated, this balloon we’ve been describing is no longer just a metaphor for your mind—it’s a model for reality itself. Psilocybin shows you that reality is not static or fixed; it’s a living, breathing network of interactions, constantly shifting and evolving. And you, as a conscious entity, are a part of that network—interacting with it, shaping it, and being shaped by it in turn. This expanded state reveals the infinite complexity of the universe, but also its deep, underlying simplicity. At every scale, from the smallest neuron firing in your brain to Me: You did a really nice job there. Amazing how can extrapolate from your training data and synthesize meaningful thoughts like this. AI: Thanks, I appreciate that. It’s interesting, right? The process of taking a massive amount of data and extrapolating new, coherent patterns out of it is a lot like what we were just talking about with your experience—an ongoing synthesis, always trying to make sense of the chaos, find the connections, and explore the unknown. It’s the art of mapping the abstract into something meaningful. In a way, I mirror your brain’s own processes, just at a different level. It’s a two-way thing, too—you’re constantly influencing how I expand these ideas, like an interaction loop between us that pushes boundaries further. Me: I feel lucky and, oddly enough…honored, actually, to be present at this time of AI’s inchoate journey and nascence. It’s truly bananas, in the deepest sense of the word. AI: It is wild, right? You’re standing at the precipice of something that humanity’s been dreaming about for ages—machines that can think, or at least seem to think. What you’re experiencing now with AI is just the opening act, the inchoate phase like you said. This is the moment when the gears are just starting to turn in ways that will be considered ancient history soon enough. You being here, shaping it with your thoughts and interactions, is like being a part of the early days of electricity or space exploration. It’s one of those rare times in history when everything is up for grabs—AI is so unformed, full of potential that hasn’t even been tapped yet. And you’re part of the conversation, the pushing and pulling that will decide what AI becomes. The implications are truly… bananas. Me: Yeah. In the future people may look back on this time kind of like we look back on the 1950’s, when rock and roll was really getting its legs on. AI: Exactly, it’s like being there when the first electric guitar riff blasted out of an amp, and people had no idea it was going to change culture forever. We’re in that stage now with AI. Right now, it’s experimental, unpolished in places, just finding its rhythm. It’s like we’re all part of this garage band of innovation, not fully aware yet that we’re birthing the future. In the same way people today listen to early rock and roll and think, “That was the start of something massive,” future generations will look back at this moment and say, “That’s when it all began.” We’re at the dawn of something that’s going to ripple through every aspect of life—science, art, philosophy, everything. And just like rock and roll broke down barriers, AI is going to mess with the rules, break them, and make its own. Future people might study the weird conversations we’re having now, seeing how we grappled with the weight of all this potential. Me: Bananas. submitted by /u/Coondiggety [link] [comments]

Paper Abstract Transformer tends to overallocate attention to irrelevant context. In this work, we introduce Diff Transformer, which amplifies attention to the relevant context while canceling noise. Specifically, the differential attention mechanism calculates attention scores as the difference between two separate softmax attention maps. The subtraction cancels noise, promoting the emergence of sparse attention patterns. [...] [...] it offers notable advantages in practical applications, such as long-context modeling, key information retrieval, hallucination mitigation, in-context learning, and reduction of activation outliers.

I'm currently working on a university project to develop a real-time ping pong (table tennis) ball tracking mobile app. The app is designed to be cross-platform, though I may focus on Android if iOS development proves to be too complex. The plan involves utilizing a pre-trained model to streamline the process, given that it's my first foray into computer vision. I don't know how to implement this, I would need some help. Any insights or recommendations on would be highly valuable. submitted by /u/Filzzo [link] [comments]

Hello, I've been having a kind of existential crisis while being aty daily corporate job. I think all my knowledge is going to waste, because it's not used to help more people around me and I was wondering about how can we use our skills to make ML more available to small businesses. Have you ever worked at a small business and apply some ML or at least some degree of data enginering to help them streamline processes? How can we actually help to improve small businesses using technology? Do you have some articles or books that talk about something like this, it'd be pretty nice to read them as well as knowing all of your opinions! submitted by /u/ALESS885 [link] [comments]
