Ai Read_005 – Here Lies the Internet, Murdered By Generative Ai

“All around the nation there are toddlers plunked down in front of iPads being subjected to synthetic runoff, deprived of human contact _even in the media they consume. There’s no other word but dystopian.”
~ Mike Hoel

What happens when the internet is so overrun with awful ai generated content, that it becomes too overwhelming to even find anything of value? And this is happening now, not in the future. What happens to a generation of toddlers who are watching incoherent, plotless, inhuman videos over and over again that are completely ai generated from beginning to end and are devoid of human meaning or depth of any kind? Millions of views on these videos poison the minds of kids all over the country while parents have no idea what the content actually is. Are we headed into a dystopia, and experiment with the minds of our children? And what on earth could we do to fix this? Find out in today’s episode of Ai Unchained.

“The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can’t be any large-scale revolution until there’s a personal revolution, on an individual level. It’s got to happen inside first.”
~ Jim Morrison

Ai Read_004 – Building a Language Model (Part 2)

“it’s important to step outside of the hype and critically-analyze what is and is not useful. It’s very easy to get caught up in “potential” applications, and allow the imagination to go all exponential on
you. It’s a very human thing. Turning that imagination into something tangible is what a business and an entrepreneur does. It’s our hope this report will be useful along that path.”
~ Alek Svetski

Today we dive into Part 2 of the Bitcoin & Ai Industry Report to learn the intricacies and challenges of building an Ai model from scratch! We delve deep into the process, discussing the complexities of data collection, transformation, and the critical integration of human feedback.
Then to complete it, we take that knowledge to address many of the AI myths and misconceptions. Will AI replace humans? Is it going to take my job? Can I train my own AI? Is AGI around the corner? And much more! This is such a great episode for those who want to know and understand the process, of building AI…

Ai Read_003 – The Nexus of Bitcoin and AI (Part 1)

There are so many myths and misconceptions around AI models. What they can do, how they are trained, even the fundamentals of how the data for them is even collected and formatted to make sense. The idea that we can “train our own model” by just feeding it a ton of conversation or notes is unrealistic, but why exactly is that?
Today we get into a 2 Part read which will be one of the most value dense we have covered on the show yet. It breaks down the entirety of the process of identifying the core value, and then sourcing, qualifying, and prepping the data, and then training, fine tuning, adjusting, and testing an AI model built from it, from beginning to end.
The Spirit of Satoshi project is an incredible open source endeavor and the team reveals tons of great details about the complexities and challenges of building an LLM, as well as the incredible work they are doing in building novel tools for crowdsourcing the hardest part of the process, and of course, how Bitcoin and Lightning enable better tools to make this all possible.
