If only they would let people turn things on and off when they want to
Den_VR··on Root shell on Samsung TV
There’s a meaningful difference between ML algorithms and the Grail that is (general) AI. Many of us spent years arguing that words matter and now with the VC backed hype train just about everything is AI, under penalty of stock market collapse

The tile references on-board ai. “On-board ai” here is automatic content recognition. Imagine my disappointment

Den_VR··on Dust: Pretraining Transformers Without Backpropagation
Orders-of-magnitude improvements in compute efficiency are needed to become a practical replacement for backprop… but those improvements are coming.

As a mixture, could activation-space search produce useful teaching targets for backprop?
