Hjälp Ukraina med elverk! Delar Power Up Ukraine Swisha: 123 315 05 05 BankGiro: 380-4184 paypal.me/powerupukraine “NU BEHÖVER KHARKIV OCH ODESSA DIN HJÄLP! Vi har fått en direkt vädjan ifrån högsta ort, rörande de terrordrabbade områdena, om elkraft för att försörja delar av dom områden som nu Ryssland återigen bombat sönder och samman. Vi har en särskild förmåga, att inte bara försörja enskilda hus, utan hela samhällen med elkraft. Något du indirekt också kan göra igenom oss. Så nu ber vi dig särskilt om hjälp, för vi har ännu en resa inplanerad i närtid där vi skulle vilja få med oss ett nästan helt nytt elverk som vi fått span på, på inte mindre än 800kW. Det är över 12 meter långt och väger närmare 20 ton. Men vi har fått en oerhört generös deal ifrån säljaren, som nog skulle kunna begärt det tredubbla priset. Men på grund av vart vi ville ta elverket, så har han valt att ge oss ett oerhört generöst pris för det. Men elverk i den här storleken är långt ifrån gratis, ändå. Vi har medel för att bekosta såväl frakten ner som för administrationen och handpenningen för elverket. Men sen behöver vi er hjälp! Vi skulle således behöva få in 500.000kr, helst innan söndag, för att vi ska kunna få ner elverket i tid. Varje dag räknas just nu, då tiotusentals människor står utan el och på många platser vatten. För 1 år sedan, drog ni tillsammans ihop 1,6 miljoner kronor på knappt 2 veckor för att finansiera flera stora elverk som idag fortfarande förser sjukhus och skolor med el. I somras drog ni in 1,2 miljoner på 4 dagar, när Ryssarna sprängde Kahovkadammen, 28 stora elverk som fortfarande spinner som katter där dom behövs. Så om vi tillsammans kan dra ihop 500.000kr på en vecka, så ska vi se till att både Kharkiv och Odessa får hjälp att komma på fötter igen, då vi redan har ett 500kW verk på rull där nere! Vill du nu hjälpa kan du börja med att få dela detta inlägg! Kanske rent av att några av er [twittrare] har lust att hjälpa oss dela detta inlägget i era kanaler? Vill ni sen skänka en krona eller två, så kan ni göra det på något av betalningsmedlen" ovan!

Snabbt o enkelt förklarat så t o m en dynggrep borde fatta. 👍⬇️

@Syrfid Kul! Läste den förra sommaren. Glömde packa bok den här semestern, dumt misstag.

It’s 12 years until 2035, when all new cars and vans in the UK must be zero-emission. 12 years ago, the fastest you could get 24kWh of energy into most EVs was about 10 hours. I just got that in about 12 minutes. Using today’s infrastructure in debates about 2035 is a nonsense.

The World Wide Web The sound of my childhood Ohh you sweet dial-up handshake spectrogram. I’ve missed you. RT/Like if this makes you feel something

När kriget står för dörren är konsten viktigare än någonsin. Älskade den här postern direkt när jag såg den. Av så många skäl. Den prydde en bokfestival (!) i Kyiv förra månaden, International Book Arsenal Festival, som genomfördes med bokseminarium delvis i skyddsrum. >>

@icreatelife Congrats, you have guided me to a lot of Midjourney discoveries!

Are you ready for the Age of Intelligence? We've just entered what seems to be an ever accelerating period of time. Where each week we are making technological strides that in the past few years seemed impossible. Looking back to 2016, none of the things that are currently possible with LLM was even thought to be possible. Autoregressive models at that point in time was not considered the way to go. Only a handful thought so. Or at least wanted to give it a try. These few people pushed through, and with increase in compute power, came the increase in capabilities. Convergence is now happening in so many areas at the same time. The true horizontal capabilities of these new tools are incredible. The great battle for AI supremacy has started. The massive behemoths of the world are placing their chess pieces on the board. Every marketing team is hard at work trying to steal the limelight from the competition. With news breaking in a seemingly endless stream of overnight 100x improvements. We're rushing it seems, straight into a decade of what seems to be comprised of something like infinite growth. Pause. Take a minute. This is what happens with exponential growth... Most futurists has predicted this for decades. Once we are past a certain point. The speed of change itself will be so fast that humans will have a very hard time keeping up. I'd argue that we have entered one of these inflection points right now. Or we are at the early stages of one, heating up the engines, ready to blast off. With AI models just not exploding in numbers but also in capabilities. They are also integrating into almost all areas of our lives. We will see greater innovation and improvements in the next 36 months to existing products, services and workflows, than we've seen in the past 10-15 years combined. You might think I've lost my mind, but it's quite the opposite. This is why it's so darn hard to think in exponents. We have a few pivotal points, from which everything in the past will look ancient. The Google Search we have grown up to learn how to use. Will in hind-sight look like smoke signals or maybe if I stretch it more like a morse code apparatus. Hard to grasp. If we lived in the information age for the past 30 years, we have now enter the Age of Intelligence. How long it will last will most likely depend on us and our ability to collaborate across our differences and unite as a species. Shaking the magic 8-ball, response is "outlook not great". If (read when) mankind figures out true AGI, thats when we seize to either exist or flourish in some sort of new, endless bountiful utopia. Where the need for human work for survival quickly diminishes to zero. What will humans do? I don't think it's farfetched that we will seek harder problems to solve. As we have done through out history. We might also seek to solve the mysteries of origin. Faster than light travel, transcendence and much more. I also think we will become a species of leisure. That is until something more important comes up. We might seek to occupy ourselves with things that brings us true joy and meaning. Regardless of how society today would label said activity. Work for survival. I think. Will be a notion of the past. I think we might be bound to the constraints of our imaginations when it comes to truly understand the age of tomorrow. Life tends to imitate art, because of Sci-fi we now dream of distant planetary systems, life beyond earth, intelligence out there. We also dream of earth as a protected biome floating in the vastness of space. As one of the few places in the know universe to harbour life. What happens when we realise these magical endeavours? What will we dream of then? How fast will a machine intelligence help us discover new science? Can even keep up? Our current technological growth has been governed by Moores Law. What happens if growth starts to accelerate away from it? What will that mean to the future of AI and AGI? Are we ready for the societal changes that will hit us hard and fast? When machines can automate and perform most intellectual tasks on par with a human or even 10x better, or 1000x better and faster? What will happen when we embody the machines, give them locomotion, sight, smell and hearing? There are many companies currently predicting there will be more humanoid robots than people on the planet in the next 20 years. Again it is not farfetched to think that it will happen. Even Elon Musk has said that he thinks the future of Tesla is not the cars division but Optimus, their humanoid robot. Why do we push to create a machine in our image? This pursuit seems like nothing less than mankind having a strong itch of god complex. Surely the optimal embodiment of a machine is not a bipedal humanoid? Yet we seek to create it. Circling back to life imitating art. I think its possible for us to take many cues from sci-fi and art. The world of yesterday and the age of tomorrow will look something like comparing the middle ages with today. Yet on a time-scale of 1-2 generation tops. This is true exponential growth on a few centuries long timeline. Our brains capacity to operate with exponentials are crippled by default. We are wired to understand linear growth. Because that is what nature does. Humans don't double in size every 2 weeks, trees don't reach 3km in length etc. Almost everything in the world (except compute & some other things) can be observed at linear growth. But silicon-based intelligence is not on a linear scale growth. But on a exponential scale. While the human brain can predict the future to some extent, exponential thinking is extremely difficult for us. We saw this with the pandemic, we saw this with the decline of massive companies such as Nokia or Kodak. When new technologies come into existence at a exponential rate. It's hard for older companies to keep up and stay relevant. We have seen this in the past, and we are starting to see this now with AI. This paradigm shift is not just affecting technology companies. But everyone. At every level of society. We've basically never seen anything like this before in history, except maybe the astroid wiping out the dinosaurs. We can try to compare the rise of AI to the industrial revolution. The industrial revolution however took time, and affected a minor workforce, compared to AI that is looking to affect all 8 billion of us. Given that we seem to have a hard time collaborating lately, with the rise of a polarised society. Increased hate, war and divisiveness. The raise of intelligence could either seek to unite us, or simply think we are vermin, and seek to get rid of us completely. Again taking cue from sci-fi it is not hard to fall in one of the two camps, either AI is our liberator or our demise. On the road towards AGI, we will encounter a few incredible feats. Seemingly in an instant a lot of transportation will go from needing a human driver, to simply drive itself. This will look like an overnight success, but reality is that it's taken close to 2 decades of research and development to get there. Yet it will be one of the points in history, when everything we know about something will be flipped on it's head. And many people will be affected in a short period of time. I think that we are living inside of one of these moments right now with the rise of LLM's (ChatGPT, Bard, Claude etc). Where the prediction of the next character gives us an inkling of human intelligence. This is the Tetris version of AI and we are raising towards the Nvidia RTX version of AI. AI will never be dumber than it is today. While its still in it's infancy, product after product, and vertical after vertical is getting disrupted. Either from the outside or from within. What months ago took a team of 10 and a couple million of dollars in funding. Can now be built by a team of 2 and a few hundred thousands. If even that. Software is entering a new era, one of abundance, hyper personalisation, and single-use applications will most likely be the norm of tomorrow. Some of the most disruptive products right now are ran by small teams. Serving millions of customers with just a few handful of staff. Midjourney is an example of this (a generative AI startup that is focused on image creation). A team of 11 and +15 million members in their discord. Up from just 800k in October 2022. Wow. Another success is of course OpenAI, with ChatGPT. It reached 1 million users in 5 days, and then 100 million in ~2 months. It's estimated that right now ChatGPT has around 200 million users. Seems like a massive number? Yet it's only about 2.5% of the worlds population. Things are just getting started. We're at the early days of AI, that means we are at the early days of the Age of Intelligence. Make no mistake, this technology will reach all corners of the world faster than anything in history before it. It will be the fastest adoption of any new technology ever invented. For a few simple reasons. Barrier to entry is almost none. You can use all these new tools on a cheap phone, with an internet connection. Making it readily available to the 5 billion internet users of today. It does not matter if its ChatGPT or Midjourney, you can utilize the tools in the palm of your hand. At near zero cost or even for free. True disruption at scale. The implications of this will verberate in the history books for centuries to come. We might refer back to 2023 as the point of no return. The AI spring. Or the beginning of the end. It's up to us, mankind. To write the next chapter. Together. Are you ready for the Age of Intelligence?

@LinusEkenstam A for putting the focus on all the ladies out there! I think @icreatelife should be on the list as well!

@icreatelife

@johtay64 Grannt!

@LinusEkenstam WOW! Mind blown again. I don’t even have to be creative in prompting I can just let AI do that as well?! #skynet

@prepressstress Bring back 2022… 🤪

@Syrfid 😂

What is this sorcery?!
