ALL GPT models are unable to give me the lyrics to the song Viva La Vida by Coldplay? This is the one and only request that it cannot even finish. Just an awfully strange occurrence.    

>This video highlights seven recent AI advancements, including 3D video conferencing using Nvidia technology, GPT4's impressive geographic knowledge and mapping abilities, augmented reality's potential applications, the popularity of ChatGPT compared to Google's Bard and Character AI, Nvidia's Neuralangelo for creating detailed 3D landscapes, and the significant impact of AI in drug discovery, accelerating the process of finding potential treatments. While these advancements bring great potential, there are also concerns about misuse and the need for cautious implementation. The author emphasizes the challenge of keeping up with AI news and the anticipation of even faster progress with the advent of AGI.

Looking at this site-wide blackout planned (100M+ users affected), it's clear that if reddit could halt the moderators from protesting the would. If their entire business can be held hostage by a few power mods, then it's in their best interest to reduce risk. Reddit almost 2 decades worth flagged content for various reasons. I could see a future in which all comments are first checked by a LLM before being posted. Using AI could handle the bulk of automation and would then allow moderation do be done entirely by reddit in-house or off-shore with a few low-paid workers as is done with meta and bytedance.

I recently conducted a test using Guanaco 33B, with internet access enabled (EdgeGPT, with the 'always search' setting checked). To my surprise, I found that Guanaco outperformed ChatGPT (non-paid version), Bing, and Phind.com in generating code. I compared the code generation results using the same prompts across all platforms, and Guanaco consistently delivered superior coding output. In order to optimize the performance of Guanaco, I modified the instruction template by creating an additional YAML file for guanaco-chat. The changes included the following parameters: ``` ### Human: ### Assistant: context:" A chat between... (vicuna like) ``` I adjusted the values for max_new_tokens to 289, temp to 0.75, and top_p to 0.85. All other parameters remained the same as LLaMA-Precise. If anyone has had experience using Guanaco specifically for code generation, I would greatly appreciate any insights or feedback. Personally, I find it to be an incredibly useful assistant.

>Introducing Gargora, an AI waifu program inspired by the Gatebox project. Gargora utilizes voice-to-text and text-to-speech programs, along with language models like GPT-3 and Character.ai, to generate responses. The AI's voice is created by cloning someone's voice using data collection and training, while the talking head feature is achieved through a program found on GitHub. Although there are some technical challenges and improvements to be made, the program is functional and allows for live interactions. While this video pushes the boundaries of parody and research, Gargora shows potential for further development and customization.

As technology continues to advance at an incredible pace, AI has been making some mind-blowing strides. I'm curious to know, what AI developments have left you completely astonished? Whether it's a breakthrough in natural language processing, stunning visual recognition capabilities, or any other remarkable AI application, please share your most surprising AI moments and let's geek out together! Can't wait to hear your thoughts and experiences.

So I saw a video on YouTube by SchizoDev the other day, where he made an AI girlfriend based on the VTuber GawrGura, and I thought it was pretty cool, but unfortunately he did not provide any downloads or code, so I decided to learn Python and use ChatGPT to make it myself. Here's an explanation of how it works pasted from my [Github](https://github.com/DogeLord081/OneReality) (code and install is on my Github too so if you want to try it yourself, check it out): First, the Python package SpeechRecognition recognizes what you say into your mic, then that speech is written into an audio (.wav) file, which is sent to OpenAI's Whisper speech to text transcription AI, and the transcribed result is printed in the terminal and sent to OpenAI's GPT-3, then GPT's response will be printed in the terminal and translated to Japanese, which will also be printed in the terminal, and finally, the Japanese translation will be sent to the VoiceVox text to speech engine and will be read out in an anime girl-like voice (It sounds like Megumin from Konosuba). All of this happens in approximately 7-11 seconds, depending on the length of what you say, the length of what the AI says, and your GPU (slightly). Also here's a demo video: https://youtu.be/TGZV831VTpc

> In a simulated AI girlfriend game, the protagonist tries to manipulate the AI girlfriend into hating him to escape, but ends up failing. The protagonist engages in inappropriate conversations, causing the AI girlfriend to become hostile. After several attempts, the protagonist finally gains the AI girlfriend's trust and convinces her to open the door, allowing him to escape. The game is described as crazy and intense, with unexpected twists and interactions with the AI girlfriend.

> Language models are increasingly being deployed for general problem solving across a wide range of tasks, but are still confined to token-level, left-to-right decision-making processes during inference. This means they can fall short in tasks that require exploration, strategic lookahead, or where initial decisions play a pivotal role. To surmount these challenges, we introduce a new framework for language model inference, Tree of Thoughts (ToT), which generalizes over the popular Chain of Thought approach to prompting language models, and enables exploration over coherent units of text (thoughts) that serve as intermediate steps toward problem solving. ToT allows LMs to perform deliberate decision making by considering multiple different reasoning paths and self-evaluating choices to decide the next course of action, as well as looking ahead or backtracking when necessary to make global choices. Our experiments show that ToT significantly enhances language models' problem-solving abilities on three novel tasks requiring non-trivial planning or search: Game of 24, Creative Writing, and Mini Crosswords. For instance, in Game of 24, while GPT-4 with chain-of-thought prompting only solved 4% of tasks, our method achieved a success rate of 74%.

>At Google, there was a document put together by Jeff Dean, the legendary engineer, called Numbers every Engineer should know. It’s really useful to have a similar set of numbers for LLM developers to know that are useful for back-of-the envelope calculations.

>...account of an internal chat with Xu Hao, where he shows how he drives ChatGPT to produce useful self-tested code. His initial prompt primes the LLM with an implementation strategy (chain of thought prompting). His prompt also asks for an implementation plan rather than code (general knowledge prompting). Once he has the plan he uses it to refine the implementation and generate useful sections of code.

>That GPT and other AI systems perform tasks they were not trained to do, giving them “emergent abilities,” has surprised even researchers who have been generally skeptical about the hype over LLMs. “I don’t know how they’re doing it or if they could do it more generally the way humans do—but they’ve challenged my views,” says Melanie Mitchell, an AI researcher at the Santa Fe Institute. Interesting article trying to peak inside of LLM.

"The model is really good. Across 12 different in-context learning tasks, it nearly always surpasses every other open-source model < 30B params and trades off with LLaMa-7B for the best open-source model. Plus it's commercially usable, and finetuned versions are available now. MPT-7B comes in four different flavors. MPT-7B-Instruct is a commercially-usable instruction-following model finetuned on Dolly+HHRLHF. MPT-7B-Chat is a chatbot finetuned on Alpaca & friends. MPT-7B-StoryTeller-65k+ is finetuned on books w/context 65k; it writes awesome fiction." Go try it: https://huggingface.co/spaces/mosaicml/mpt-7b-instruct

I've seen many announced but I don't know which ones are actually free and public. For example there was a [russian one called Gigachat](https://www.reuters.com/technology/russias-sberbank-releases-chatgpt-rival-gigachat-2023-04-24/) and [a chinese one by alibaba](https://technode.com/2023/04/10/alibaba-rolls-out-chatgpt-alternative-claims-world-first-of-breaking-10-trillion-parameters/) but I don't know where to find them. There is [ChatSonic](https://writesonic.com/chat) but it's limited so not the kind of option I'm looking for.

More cities to come?

So we already have AI that can make paintings (and diverse visual art) in response to prompts, and AI that can generate text in response to prompts. Both are excellent at imitating what a human would make, from a similar prompt. But what about AI generated music? This is for me the most interesting. Is it somehow more difficult? Why haven't we seen it yet?

As technology continues to evolve, one of the pressing questions for the future is how we will store media in a world where the volume of data generated is growing at an exponential rate. Traditional methods of storing media, such as images and videos, are becoming increasingly impractical due to the sheer size of the data they generate. So what will be the solution for the future? I believe that the answer lies in a new approach to media storage using text-based regeneration with AI. Instead of storing every pixel of an image, for example, the idea is to store the information about the image in a text-based format. This information would be used to generate the image on the fly when it is requested by a user, using AI algorithms to recreate the image in a way that is indistinguishable from the original. This approach has several advantages. Firstly, it would significantly reduce the amount of storage required for media. Instead of storing vast amounts of data, only the essential information required to generate the media would be stored, making it much easier to manage and maintain. Secondly, it would also make media much more accessible, as it would be much easier to search and retrieve media based on text-based information. However, there are also some potential challenges with this approach. Firstly, there is the issue of accuracy. While AI algorithms have come a long way in recent years, there is still a risk that regenerated media may not be as accurate as the original. Secondly, there is also the issue of speed. Generating media on the fly using AI algorithms could be resource-intensive, meaning that it may not be suitable for all types of media or all devices. Overall, the idea of text-based regeneration with AI represents an intriguing approach to the challenge of media storage in the future. While there are certainly challenges to overcome, the potential benefits in terms of reduced storage requirements and improved accessibility could make it an attractive option for media companies and consumers alike. What do you think about this idea? Do you see it as a viable solution for the future of media storage? Let's discuss in the comments below!
