I remember reading an article on here by one of the founders of MPEG about why he was leaving MPEG after several decades, and part of it was that modern AI is indistinguishable from compression and he wanted to explore new compression algorithms using the recent explosion of knowledge

I didn’t either until i started playing but its length and size isn’t just for the sake of it. It’s that size because it’s that complex. It’s like The Witness dialed up to 11

The fear of the general populace is itself a propaganda campaign

In the agricultural era, which was the most violent time in human history, we accepted any beggars that came to our front door. Now we live in the safest time in human history and were so terrified of the masses that we disempower them completely

I agree, but the reaction to AI is making me realize that there are a whole bunch of people who don’t know how to find meaning in their lives

The reason why anyone argues against local and free AI is because they want corporations to have control over the general population.

America is a corporate hellhole.

The discretization of those tokens can be manipulated to get any result you want. If it meaningfully benefits the AI to have a more fine-grained discretization, then you can do that. AI only compresses as much as we want it to. I understand your sentiment, but the logical conclusion of what you’re saying is that no form of compression is ever valuable. That’s just not a defensible argument.

All information gets compressed. Even your own perception of reality gets compressed.

The fact that machine learning can learn highly detailed patterns is the very reason why AI is so useful. So what you’re saying doesn’t really make much sense

So I guess the Chinese government will decide what model I use next

Looking through these it’s crazy to find out that The Iliad is only 1 of like 5 original texts on the Trojan war. We’re reading book 2 of a 5 book series
