VideoWhat Most People Get Wrong About Evolution | Akarsh Kumar
A lot of people in AI treat evolution as a dumb fallback, basically random search for when you can't take a gradient.
I expect rapid progress but not towards general superintelligence
I’ve often been surprised when I hear from top researchers in industry that they think AI will be better than them at their job in a few years, and I didn’t really know why I doubted it.
I built a free anime character & prompt library for AI art creator
I'm an AI art creator, and for a while now I've been wanting a better way to organize character prompts, find inspiration, and experiment with different scenes without having to dig through a bunch of different sources.
