The funny thing about this is that the consensus hypothesis was that an AGI would get near-human performance on all tasks.
But instead we got super-human performance on most tasks, with sub-human performance on a few narrow tasks.
does anyone else remember when the goalposts for agi were at vaguely human level performance rather than outperforming the best humans at everything

Even if LK-99 turns out to be impractical, the collective willpower of humanity armed with new theory and focused on leveraging this effect to the max, will likely lead to production of a material in the high field, high current scenario.

If LK-99 is a room-temperature ambient-pressure superconductor, there are three distinct possibilities depending on its eventual engineering properties.
Here is a straightforward explanation of each scenario and estimated total…

Worth remembering that the HF part of RLHF is what gave us everything from the chihuahua to the great dane.
My guess is that MidJourney has been doing a massive-scale reinforcement learning from human feedback ("RLHF") - possibly the largest ever for text-to-image.
When human users choose to upscale an image, it's because they prefer it over the alternatives. It'd be a huge waste not…

Lmao we posted a video of 20 or so robots doing fully autonomous tasks, not teleoperated. Teleoperation is just how we collect the data.
It’s not perfect, but it’s certainly not a lie.
Old-hands can be so bitter…
Tele-op robots presented as autonomous. Tesla Optimus humanoid folding a shirt. 1X humanoid robots. Misrepresentations of what robots are actually doing can also be called LIES. Note that the Stanford robot cooking and cleaning videos are also tele-operated.

So monkeys, like man, show sex-typed preferences visually as newborns. What about among monkey children, what toys do they like?
One notable difference is that female Vervets like dolls and male Vervets like cars.

Was just looking at this a couple of weekends ago
SpaceX has reduced the cost to get to orbit by 100x.
This has quadrupled the space industry which is now on track to $1 trillion in size by 2030.
What if we could reduce this cost by another 100x, and put a kilogram in orbit for $10?
