>>34727 >trusting a corporation with your waifu
>>34749 >>trusting a corporation with your waifu I didn't say that exactly. It could help, maybe, with modeling. Testing to see the strength of actuators, all sorts of stuff. It could help with software for walking and movement coordination. At some point all of us will likely have to use some AI trained by others. They are spending multiple billions of dollars to train these so I find it unlikely that anyone can independently create their own or at least at our level of funding. You may be able to modify another created one but the source will likely for the foreseeable future be large corporations. And in the end my primary usage for it will be to write software to facilitate construction.
>>34765 It is guaranteed one must stand on the shoulders of giants. Even if you refined the ore to build all your motor components you still have yewrs of ore refining experience and techniques found by others. I just don't trust cloud subscription services because they can change and you have no recourse. There are already stories of folks going mad because their ai service nerfed/deleted their waifu. Easily preventable if it was a local waifu.
>>34768 so i tried a bash script for ai tts with ai with a computer mic and it was super slow. Whats frustrating is that people saw that video and then they see someone else using openai API which is real time yeah but itd be talking to chatgpt. Although ive seen chatgpt in janitor ai so maybe theyve loosened up.If chatgpt or claude, gemini can do nsfw id roll with that cause realistically youll be hosting the ai on the cloud either way. Even if you got a 4090 itd take over a minute just for a respinse without including the transcribing and tts for 70b parameter model. Graphics cards are also not getting cheaper.
>>34769 no looks like chatgpt still has restrictions. Also im personally picky about the voice i played around with moetts but thats a load spagghetti.

CNC Machine Thread Robowaifu Technician 05/12/2020 (Tue) 02:13:40 No.2991 [Reply] [Last]
Many of the parts needed to build our robowaifus will need to be custom made and they will need to be metal. For parts that have a high tolerance for imperfections a 3d printer can print a mold and then a small scale foundry can be used to cast the piece with metal (probably copper or aluminum). BUT there will be pieces that need a higher degree of precision (such as joints). For these pieces a CNC machine would be useful. CNC machines can widely range in size, price, and accuracy and I would like to find models suitable for our purposes. I know there are CNC machines available that can cut up to copper for under $300, but I don't know if that will be enough for our purposes. (https://www.sainsmart.com/products/sainsmart-genmitsu-cnc-router-pro-diy-kit?variant=15941458296905&currency=USD&utm_campaign=gs-2018-08-06&utm_source=google&utm_medium=smart_campaign) Some CNC machines can be used to engrave printed circuit boards and that may prove useful for our purposes as well. Are there any anons that know more about CNC machines? Anons looking to buy one ask your questions here.

Here's something related to parts building I've been thinking about, a lot, lately. Isogrids. Here's a killer link that I ran across talking about these. It's where I first heard of them. This guy made a surfboard out of quarter Isogrids of cardboard and then fiberglassed it. Now I'm not saying make waifus from cardboard. I'm trying to point out the extreme strength of these Isogrids. I read they have in some cases an order of magnitude strength to weight increase. That's 10 times or 10,000 percent better strength to weight. Now this is for traditional Isogrids noted in the last paper I linked. In a ballistic missile case they got, "...built by the Air Force Research Lab on the Combined Experiments program. This grid structure was 61% lighter, 300% stronger, and 1000% stiffer than the aluminum structure it replaced..." That is some serious improvement. But the real winner is this Quarter grid Isostructure that the surf board guy came up with. He says he thought it up but after looking around he found he was not the first. He's very humble because the idea is a killer good one that he stumbled on all by himself. Have a look at this super easy to build, high strength structure here, https://www.sheldrake.net/quarter_isogrid/ The key and big takeaway is this just a bunch of flat pieces with notches cut in them. So you could make this out of whatever flat stock you could get your hands on and have a super strong structure. One thing I noticed is that it's somewhat one dimensional structurally. But there's no reason at all you could not cut slots in three sides so that now you have a structure with slats providing strength in three dimensions made out of nothing but flat pieces with slots cut in them. A good search for stuff they are making of them is "quarter Isogrids" and "Isogrid furniture". They're making all sorts of stuff from them. More traditional Isogrids below. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isogrid Grid Stiffened Structures_A survey of fabrication, analysis and design methods https://iccm-central.org/Proceedings/ICCM12proceedings/site/papers/pap357.pdf

>>34311 Intredasting, thanks Anon! Still uncanny af, but it's pretty good progress if that's the route the devs want to go with their waifu headpieces. Also, it's clearly a phenomenon that otherwise seemingly normal adults will revert to childish antics when testing controlling a waifu -- even destructively so. We should expect this type of juvenile behavior and plan for it accordingly when displaying our prototypes to the public at conventions, etc., in the future.

Hand Development Robowaifu Technician 07/28/2020 (Tue) 04:43:19 No.4577 [Reply] [Last]
Since we have no thread for hands, I'm now opening one. Aside the AI, it might be the most difficult thing to archive. For now, we could at least collect and discuss some ideas about it. There's Will Cogleys channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/WillCogley - he's on his way to build a motor driven biomimetic hand. It's for humans eventually, so not much space for sensors right now, which can't be wired to humans anyways. He knows a lot about hands and we might be able to learn from it, and build something (even much smaller) for our waifus.

We'll have to come up with some very small GelSight-like sensors. F3 hand (pneumatic) https://youtu.be/JPTnVLJH4SY https://youtu.be/j_8Pvzj-HdQ Festo hand (pneumatic) https://youtu.be/5e0F14IRxVc Thread >>417 is about Prosthetics, especially Open Prosthetics. This can be relevant to some degree. However, the constraints are different. We might have more space in the forearms, but we want marvelous sensors in the hands and have to connect them to the body.

Papercraft waifu Robowaifu Technician 09/16/2019 (Mon) 06:21:35 No.271 [Reply]
Thoughts on making a paper waifu then adding robotics? I want animu grills but, most robots have uncanny 3DPD faces that aren't nearly as cute as a real waifu. With paper/screens, at least the face can keep the purity and beauty of 2D.

>>33827 >papercraft wifu shell Just in case you forgot or someone else wants a good source. I found the mother of all paper mache recipe sites by this Grandmother. It's a great resource for making things from paper. She has all sorts of recopies. Some have various additives so you can get better dimensional stability. For prototyping I don't think paper can be beat. Fast, cheap and once you have the shell or a paper positive you can create molds from more solid materials while keeping prototype cost to a minimum, It's at this link, >>33318
>>34113 Thanks kindly, Grommet! My plan ATM is simply to unfold my 3D models from Blender into 2D flats, print & cut them out, then assemble them all together /po/ -style. After coating or two, I can see using some type of papier-mâché coating to fashion a mold perhaps (as you seem to suggest)?
>>34131 That's seems like a super fast way to get results. And yes I do mean using P.M. for molds. I was thinking about doing this for fiberglass and boats. I got the idea from the "concrete fabric formworks" guys. Type that in search and look at some of the images. It's wild what they are doing. Low cost, high quality(most of the water drains out leaving far stronger concrete due to compaction) and they can do structures that the loads are designed in the form to be exactly where they are needed. Due to the curvature of the form it automatically forms the correct reinforcement where needed.
>>34147 >And yes I do mean using P.M. for molds. Yeah, thanks I thought so. >and they can do structures that the loads are designed in the form to be exactly where they are needed. We certainly need to take advantage of similar approaches, for similar needs within our robowaifus. For example, mounting these shell pieces on internal endoskellington struts, etc., could use some beefing up on the attach points. Thanks for all the good ideas, Grommet! Please keep them coming, Anon. Cheers. :^)
>>34131 I have a great link for those interested in flat structures to make 3D structures. The first link I messed up a little. I started reading in the thread farther down and people were talking about cutting flat stuff and materials and I commented before I realized the thread was machine tools.

I made a post on super strong structures called "Isogrids" but it's sort of in the wrong place. A link so that I'm not double posting. It has great utility not only in strength but a special form I linked is great for prototyping and production with less work or machinery needed. Good cost savings without sacrificing strength. >>34491 If you see the link imagine you made these quarter isogrids for bones and had hollow areas in them. Most of the strength would remain and you could channel wires, tubing, whatever through the holes.
>>34493 An idea for quick prototyping is to use cheap canvas cloth tarp. Lay this out on regular polyethylene sheets like you use for covering the floor in painting. Lay the canvas out and squeegee in titebond glue or regular elmers white glue. This makes a strong structure. Then you cut out the part/slats and cut slots in them. Connect and you have strong structures for super cheap. You could also cut out your structures first, stiffen with glue then use a cut off grinder to cut slots.
I mentioned leaving holes in the slats but you could also build the bones like hollow tanks. See the links in the above other thread. There's pictures of tanks make this way. They use them for missiles, rockets, etc. Saves a LOT of weight while gaining lots of strength.

OpenAI/GPT-2 This has to be one of the biggest breakthroughs in deep learning and AI so far. It's extremely skilled in developing coherent humanlike responses that make sense and I believe it has massive potential, it also never gives the same answer twice. >GPT-2 generates synthetic text samples in response to the model being primed with an arbitrary input. The model is chameleon-like—it adapts to the style and content of the conditioning text. This allows the user to generate realistic and coherent continuations about a topic of their choosing >GPT-2 displays a broad set of capabilities, including the ability to generate conditional synthetic text samples of unprecedented quality, where we prime the model with an input and have it generate a lengthy continuation. In addition, GPT-2 outperforms other language models trained on specific domains (like Wikipedia, news, or books) without needing to use these domain-specific training datasets. Also the current public model shown here only uses 345 million parameters, the "full" AI (which has over 4x as many parameters) is being witheld from the public because of it's "Potential for abuse". That is to say the full model is so proficient in mimicking human communication that it could be abused to create new articles, posts, advertisements, even books; and nobody would be be able to tell that there was a bot behind it all. <AI demo: talktotransformer.com/ <Other Links: github.com/openai/gpt-2 openai.com/blog/better-language-models/ huggingface.co/

>ctrl + F >no hits for "front end", "silly", or "UI" Without even digging into the thread, I was curious if there was any development of other front-end chat interfaces. Silly Tavern pretty much rules the roost in terms of utility last time I checked and there's not really anything else that comes close to it. I was honestly expecting some kind of software to come out on steam or a similar online store. That way, your chat interface isn't going through a web browser. Not that that's a bad thing, but in terms of accessibility, having a cmd prompt running down in your taskbar always felt offputting to me. Ideally, everything would be contained in a program. >code it yourself then if you're so great I'm not up to the task. I envision something you download off Steam, like VRchat. It would be a gateway to image generation, chatbots, and other AI tools. Maybe some integration of AI into VR chat would be the best option. I don't want VR goggles to be mandatory though. I want as few button presses as possible between the user and interacting with AIs. With SillyTavern or kobold, I feel like there are just enough technical hurdles to dissuade more casual users and scare them away from getting into it. With sites like Chub or CAI, there's a lot less in the way in terms of the user interacting with the AI. That ease of use is what I'm gunning for. Please forgive my ideas guy ramblings. >why build for such a casual audience? Exposure mostly. There are a lot of cool applications that AI chat has that aren't being explored because people simply aren't exposed to it. Kind of like how much you don't realize you need a smartphone until you have one and it becomes almost symbiotic.
>>34427 Thanks for the input Anon. I actually have to agree with Jensen Huang that simply talking to robowaifus will, in the end, turn out to be the most common way to 'program' them. Till such time however, it will take technicians like us here & elsewhere to lay the foundational groundwork to enable such a high-level to be effective. >tl;dr Better crack those books, Anon! :^) >B-but >I'm not up to the task!111!!11 Better crack those books, Anon! :^)
>>34453 I don't know if I'd want to reinvent the wheel on this one. I'd be fine porting Stilly Tavern or Kobold over to steam and other online distribution platforms. If I couldn't get the permission to do that, I'd make my offbrand version respectively.
>>34464 GPT4all is a relatively simple way to interact with a locally hosted LLM, but getting it in a normie-friendly format would be a bit of a challenge. I do know there are ways to get python stuff into relatively self-contained distributable formats that automagically download stuff (eg oobabooga & stable diffusion) but haven't looked into it.

Philosophers interested in building an AGI? pygmalion 06/26/2021 (Sat) 00:53:09 No.11102 [Reply] [Last]
Why is it that no philosophers are interested in building an AGI? we need to change this, or at least collect relevant philosophers. discussion about philosophy of making AGI (includes metaphysics, transcendental psychology, general philosophy of mind topics, etc!) also highly encouraged! Ill start ^^! so the philosophers i know that take this stuff seriously: Peter Wolfendale - the first Neo-Rationalist on the list. his main contribution here is computational Kantianism. just by the name you can tell that he believes Kant's transcendental psychology has some important applications to designing an artificial mind. an interesting view regarding this is that he thinks Kant actually employed a logic that was far ahead of his time (and you basically need a sophisticated type theory with sheaves to properly formalize). Other than that he also thinks Kant has interesting solutions to the frame problem, origin of concepts, and personhood. CONTACTS: He has a blog at https://deontologistics.co/, and also has posted some lectures on youtube like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWDZyOWN4VA&ab_channel=deontologistics Reza Negarestani - this is another Neo-Rationalist. he has written a huge work (which I haven't read yet ;_;) called "Intelligence and Spirit". It's massive and talks about various grades of general intelligence. this includes sentient agents, sapient agents, and Geist. this guy draws from Kant as well, but he also builds on Hegel's ideas too. his central thesis is that Hegel's Geist is basically a distributed intelligence. he also has an interesting metaphilosophy where he claims that the goal of philosophy is the construct an AGI. like other Neo-Rationalists, he heavily relies on the works of Sellars and Robert Brandom Recc: Ray Brassier (recent focuses) - I dont think he is working on artificial general intelligence, but his work on Sellars, and in particular rule following is very insightful! Hubert Dreyfus - Doesn't quite count, but he did try to bring Heidegger to AGI. He highlighted the importance of embodiment to the frame problem and common sense knowledge. I personally think Bergson might have explicated what he wanted to achieve but better, though that guy is like way before AI was even a serious topic, lol. Murray Shanahan - This guy has done some extra work on the frame problem following Dreyfus. His solution is to use global workspace theory and parralel processing of different modules. Interesting stuff! Barry Smith - Probably the most critical philosopher on this list. He talks about the requisite system dynamics for try strong AI, and concludes that our current methods simply don't cut it. One of the key stressing points he points out here with a colleague is that our current AI is Markovian when fleshed out chat dialogue would be a non-Markovian task (you can find the arxiv link of his criticism here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.05833). He also has knowledge on analytic ontology (and amongst other thing has some lectures about emotion ontology). I think his main genius however is in coming up with a definition of intelligence that puts a lot of the problems with our current approaches into context (which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0giPMMoKR9s&ab_channel=BarrySmith) CONTACTS: He has a yt channel here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0giPMMoKR9s&ab_channel=BarrySmith

>>34337 Okay, by brainwaves, I mean a wave of *focus* Your hardware can only do so much multiplication and addition. Your hardware can only do so much matrix multiplication. When a "brainwave" travels over the torus, it distributes focus onto the neurons/spirits under it, bumping them up in the processing queue. When the processing occurs, outputs are dumped into buckets through weightings, and await processing. Neurons should give some of their focus to the neuron they fire into, and I imagine that neurons can be tuned to be more or less 'stingy' about how/where they share their focus. Neurons burn some of their focus when they fire. That way nothing can dominate the processing queue except the brainwave. Mind you, I want 'focus' and 'attention' to be separate resources. Focus is just for the processing queue; it's what the brain wants to do *right now*. Attention is just for keeping pointless neurons off of the network. An efficient pattern of behaviour would be strung out so that the brainwave travels over it in the direction that it it fires, so that it's just straightforward operation. The brainwave's direction, I believe, should double as a bias in the direction of firing, turning outputs into inputs, and in general encouraging processing to occur in the direction the brainwave is traveling. If the brainwave wants to go sideways, this means that the brain is experiencing 'lateral thinking' which crosses subjects, finding and processing interrelations between them. What is the brainwave? >It's just a region of the torus, of some shape. It has a center that moves, it has a breadth and a length, and a trajectory, and it commands some percentage of the brain's available focus. How does it originate?

Ever see PET Scan movies of the brain's activity? If not, I highly-recommend you do so. Contrary to the lie old wive's tale that we all only use 10% of our brains... practically 100% of all the brain's neurons are involved in processing every.single.stimulus. It's a fascinating thing to watch. Very, very amorphous wavefronts propagating through the tissues at all times in all directions; bouncing & reflecting around just like other wavefronts throughout nature. >=== -fmt, prose edit
Edited last time by Chobitsu on 11/16/2024 (Sat) 16:21:35.
>>34385 Yes I recall seeing a motion picture of how the activity of the brain moves in cycles. More specifically, I am drawing inferences from how I can feel the waves in my own brain working, and yes, I *can* feel them. Brainwaves for me have turned into an element of my mental posture. It feels like when I'm relaxed, it just cycles normally, but when I want to think something hard, the wave will jump around like how the read/write head of a hard disk might. I've become a bit of a computer myself in this way, because I can cut through very difficult philosophy using it this way. When I'm using my imagination, it will go backwards. When I focus on one sense, it stays in a sector. When I'm focusing my feelings, there's a stripe in the back which takes the focus. I believe that perhaps the white matter of the human brain won't broadcast from the entire brain *to* the entire brain all at once. I think there is a bit of a filter which can change shape, speed, and position, which will mix up the sharing of information according to the works of inner politics and habitual intelligence. In this way, a robo-wife brainwave wouldn't be the same as a human brainwave; but it would be close enough. Upgrading her hardware would just allow her to cycle around faster without skipping focus. Since I was a boy, I was always concerned with breaking down reality into the most efficient symbols I can manage using alchemy. Doing so gives me massive leverage to process reality. I hit some roadblocks in my mid-20's, but some mind-expanding psychedelics temporarily gave me enough room in my head to break free and gain superhuman understandings. The process of alchemy takes a lot of 'room' to work with, but ultimately creates more room when you're done; turning a mind into an efficient and well-oiled machine. For example, when I imagine a coin spinning, part of me pretends to be a coin; adopting the material properties of the coin (stiff, low-friction/metallic, resonant, rough edges, dense), and then gets to spinning helplessly in a mental physics sandbox. The symbols that I rely upon to do the spinning are gravity, angualr momentum (conserved), energy (conserved), air resistance, and equilibrium. Gravity pulls down, but the more flat the coin goes, the less it's spinning; it can't spin less without dissipating angular momentum/energy into the air, or into the table. Therefore the system is at a sort of dynamic equilibrium until it dissipates everything and falls flat. I am not pulling a memory of a spinning coin, I am generating a new, unique experience. If we want to build a robowife, we must take inspiration from nature. *I* want a robowife who is capable of some part-time philosophy like me; a sorceress. Nature never made one for me, for some reasons that fill me with bitterness and disgust. It occurs to me that a well-alchemized brain stripped/partitioned away from any objective memories of me may make a decent base for a robowife for Anon in general, and I may recruit Anon's help in my ambitions if I can make enough progress to show that I'm not just living in a fantasy.

I've gone down that route you describe to some degree, and can confirm it -- with a large dose of skepticism learned outside of that world. >tl;dr Staying clean & natural is certainly the better option. Just using some combination of caffeine/chocolate (or simply raw cacao)/vitamin b12 should be ample stimulation when that boost is needed, IMO. :^) >The first thing I'm going to try to do with a toroidal consciousness is to see if I can get it to dance to music. I'm going to write up a sensory parcel that contain these following attention fountains; 2 Input neurons that fluctuate up to 20 Khz to play the raw sound data, and 120-480 Input neurons (per track) which will fluctuate with the fourier transformation of the raw inputs (this is pitch sensation). I will give this stripe access to neurons which can wait for a set time, according to a base wait period they're set with, multiplied by their input. I expect for the consciousness to erect some kind of fractal clock construct which the alchemist will reward for its ability to correctly expect polyrhythm. Sounds awesome, I like it Anon. I too love dance and rythm, and just music in general. I envision that our robowaifus will not only eventually embody entire ensemble repetoires at the drop of a hat, but will also be a walking lightshow to top it all off. >tl;dr <"Not only can she sing & dance, but she can act as well!" :D <---> >pic I love that one. If we can ever get boomers onboard with robowaifus, then we'll be home free. Cheers, Anon. :^)
