To the audio engineer, turn down the gain, and turn up the volume. Basic stuff, basic stuff.

[@learnbydoing6010]

Maybe they just want it to appear less AI style?😂

[@Synthshop]

AI can mix better, or will soon, but it can't plug cables in and move mics around...etc.......yet.

[@brady8551]

that has to be the worst audio ever. The voice, the grasp on the language, the cadence, the audio engineering fucking all around 0/10 PAIN

i cannot forget her Ted talk about imagenet. 👏

[@enki5420]

imagenet?

[@deeplearningpartnership]

yes

[@raphaelamorim]

Fei-Fei Li is a brilliant person. The question about representation in the industry is not valid. It's a derived problem from the distribution of people in the universities. The distributions are quite similar, that's the problem we need to solve first if you want to see any real change in the long run.

I had initially planned to retire at 62, work part-time, and save money, but the impact of high prices on various goods and services has significantly disrupted my retirement plan. I'm worried about whether those who experienced the 2008 financial crisis had it easier than I currently am. The volatility of the stock market is a concern as my income has decreased, and I fear that I won't be able to contribute as much as before, potentially jeopardizing my retirement savings.

[@LoseMike-og9in]

The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future. I'm concerned about whether those who navigated the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am currently experiencing. The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether I'll have sufficient funds for retirement.

[@LoveFrank-cp7tv]

This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.

[@VictorB.Henrickson]

Mind if I ask you to recommend this particular coach to you using their service?

[@LoveFrank-cp7tv]

Leticia Zavala Perkins, a highly respected figure in her field. I suggest delving deeper into her credentials, as she possesses extensive experience and serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking guidance in navigating the financial market.

[@Henry-hp3kl]

Thank you for the lead. I searched her up, and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.

[@kylev.8248]

God Bless Fei-Fei Li. I love her. 😍

[@TheManinBlack9054]

I think her answers on the opposition to proper and strong regulation of the AI was kind of bad, considering that she IS a startup founder now, of course businesspeople will be against discussion the x-risk dangers and especially against implementing meaningful regulations, it does impact their bottom line.

[@kennySg101]

Press likes to talk about responsible AI. Hope they can move on to other aspects.

[@geaca3222]

I very much disagree with Dr. Fei-Fei Li about not placing importance on possible AI existential threat. When she talks about AI as a humanity collective effort, it should include ensuring safeguards against that.

[@1anre]

That's why open conversations are important so you can share these views with her

[@Ma-pz5kl]

she is friendly. but 15 mn of corporate bla bla....what did i learn here ? NOTHING.

[@TheManinBlack9054]

Should we really be asking a start-up founder on what sorts of laws should be passed? Of course they'll be against any kind of regulations.

[@chrischoir3594]

B.S. lol AI has been around since the 1950s she had nothing to do with traditional AI or modern AI

[@nigellawson8610]

Why would a super intelligent AI care about what human beings feel or need? After all, human beings don’t consult chimpanzees before deciding to build a highway through their territory. Therefore, the idea that a super intelligent AI would conforms its actions in order to be aligned with human needs is patently absurd. When it comes down to it, if lower life forms stand in the way of progress, the natural human instinct is to either sweep them aside, eat them, or exploit them in some other way that is of economic advantage to us? Likewise, a race of hyper advanced cyber beings would in all probability adopt the same attitude towards humans, if nature is any guide? Maybe, the best thing we can hope for if this scenario ever comes to pass is that they might take pity on us and decide to keep us as pets? In all probability a super AI might behave towards us in a manner similar to a mega corporation like Apple. On one hand, it might supply humans with all sorts of goodies, while acting in way that is inimical to human needs? Only the future will tell.

What's wrong with it? I'm an artist and minority, and I see a lot of blind spots in the understanding of machine learning that's driving a lot of misunderstanding. Do you know what it's like to be excluded your whole life, even though your ideas are good? That fact that people like you are so dismissive only confirms my experiences.

[@HomeEngineer-wm5fg]

@@AB-wf8ek you wont get any sympathy. We are talking why there aren't enough women in Computer Science and the answer is FREDOM OF CHOICE! Think, you are ARTIST, with Liberal Arts education. Your choice! If you don't understand AI, do the work and learn. It isn't my problem, it is your decision.

[@RodnySeastarer4921]

A.I. will do everything thought thinking can do. It can learn, correct itself, and from that correction learn further. A.I. can do what thought can do - it can say, ‘I believe in God,’ because it has been programmed that way, as we human beings have been programmed, as we human beings have been wired to say, ‘I am a Hindu,’ Christian, or Buddhist, American, or ‘I believe in God, or communism.’ We are all unconsciously programmed, conditioned. Self knowledge, spirituality, doubt, and wisdom are non existent generally in human societies across the world, replaced by ideologies, tribalism, and identification. So the programmers of A.I. are obviously also conditioned by their ideological background and self-centered activity. A.I. will eventually take over our brain. It is gradually happening; this is not speculation or hypothesis... A.I. experts are very clear about what human thinking can do, A.I. can do it, and do it better. And with the robotics, and with the fusion of advancing genetics will do all biological and mechanical work, altering the genomes, etc, producing next level robotics, and genetics, make decisions without the help of humanity. So what becomes of a human being? What becomes of you when what you think, what you feel, what you have - will be taken over ? We have to meet a tremendous crisis. This is a problem facing mankind: A.I and the machines, invented by thought takes over all the activity of thought and leaves man with what? What has he then (apart from his, identity, egotism and ideologies)? Nothing. It can be told how to think, and will tell you how to think and imitate - it becomes humanity's new master, replacing the limited religious leaders and politicians. It will give you a new ideology. It will take over all the activity of thought, and where is man or woman then? If the computer and robot take the place of man, what is man then? Either he continues to pursue self-interest, pleasure: a slave to entertainment, football, television, sex, or all belief systems, the circus, the religions, (which is another form of entertainment), in a slave mentality. Or - We turn inward (becoming psychologically free, non-conforming, and unconditioned). We have that choice in front of us, but it's hidden due to the impact globally of all the society's conditioned mindsets across the world. It is coming; this is our challenge. If we pursue the coming distractions, entertainment, invented by A.I. , your life then becomes totally empty, shallow, and superficial. Or you turn to the psychological, inward search... So this is facing us as a human being. If we are concerned and therefore accept this challenge, we either turn inward, question our mindset, "or" become slaves and pursue self interest, pleasure, identification of belonging, and entertainment. We have lived on thought. Our activity is based on thought with its memories and identification (of belonging to ideologies and nationality with its divisions, and wars). Our egocentric thought and attachment to identity has denied the simplicity of life and global unity. Our thought has made the computer and A.I.. And we, as human beings, have been deprived holistically because of all the things egocentric thought has done - thinking has done. We will have to face this. If we are inclined to be slaves to entertainment, to be led, and influenced for the rest of our lives, then what happens to our brain? It will wither, slowly decay, independent thinking will cease - because A.I. is doing everything that thought can do, "or" we turn inward and look at the psychological structure of ourselves, (without doing this first A.I. will become unethical, with self centered principles of humans). That psychological structure is consciousness, based on egocentric thinking in ideological patterns, and identification of belonging therefore it becomes limited, isolating, and divisive. We never investigate this reality and the illusion we live in. Consciousness has to be in a state of psychological freedom, self doubt ,and revolution. But alas A.I will be our master instead - as conditioning of nationality, belief systems and ideology have been the present framework of a prison - which is seen as the norm. A.I. will eventually reassert a new pattern to follow, as we presently follow many patterns such as nationalism and belief systems, etc. We never question or investigate our thinking process. A.I will re-condition the already conditioned brain. It's coming... Everyone is, and has always been asleep, and prefers to stay asleep.
