tech bro CEOs tweets are like the bad guy monologue in movies detailing their evil plan

Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus"

Can't believe @MKBHD still hasn't watched Her...

Shoutout to dave for stopping the spoilers. I just watched it after he did that on the original episode

The future is basically an entire season of Black Mirror.

In Her the AI can emote and talk like a human. That’s the whole reason.

When "her" review coming? At least early impressions?

Text data that gets fed into an LLM can presumably be weighted but the model is specifically built to predict what comes next in a block of text so it has no meaningful way to distinguish between "text that only shows how people talk" and "text that contains useful facts". The only way in which it can is if you feed in a prompt that looks like the training data that contained the knowledge you want. The multimodal models might be more sophisticated than that but I highly doubt they've got some secret system to have multiple completely independent datasets since the entire point is that it works on a single stream of data

Thanks guys, i'm gonna watch this movie now :) Right now. I mean Her. Not total recall, nor inception for now. Today is time to watch Her.

Take a shot whenever someone says " like " or " literally "

The sky voice released 10 months ago on the old voice mode the new thing is the voice modality that enables the ai to have emotions and low latency

[actualtorgo]

Ha! "Big tech for some reason has an obsession with recreating things in movies that are extremely dystopian and go terribly wrong." Yes! 💯

[kamel]

The thing is.. if “sky” was actually a real actress that sounds like Scarlett Johansson, I don’t think Scarlett could win the case. She doesn’t have copyright over someone else’s voice

[moresignal]

The Sky voice was the flagship voice launched in Sep 2023, not the new one.

[elessartelcontar]

Opinions. I do not need more. The underlying problem with the movie Her, Scarlett Johansson and voice actors was not discussed. What if Johansson‘s voice sounds like that of another person who is a voice actor? The problem is, that an actor can claim that using a voice similar to theirs may harm their income. But it is obvious that many people will have similar voices. Voice actors can mimic how others speak and even change the sound of their voice. If, however, the natural voice of two actors is very similar, it will be difficult to find the right judicial approach.

Yup y'all right, i haven't watched it but now im going too!😆 Respect for not spoiling it though i wouldn't have minded that much haha

12:13 : "The funny thing is even is not hallucinating and just making things up is also potentially being wrong" ... Ok, interesting how we are entering this era of the increase probability that most people is getting technical references from non-technical people.

a consequence of a hallucinating model is to make things up, by definition. Now, to be fair, "making things up", because it is Hallucinating, is not necessarily be wrong depending on the context and/or goal of the conversation.

what exactly do u guys do ? What is this channel for ?

[younes]

Her is a great movie that i recommended alot. Finally maybe the movie will get the love it deserves
