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)?

Grommet 10/30/2024 (Wed) 12:25:46 No.34147

>>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. :^)

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.

Grommet 11/25/2024 (Mon) 05:23:35 No.34495

>>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.

Grommet 11/25/2024 (Mon) 05:28:11 No.34496

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.

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

Robowaifu Technician 11/16/2024 (Sat) 18:38:21 No.34386

>>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 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.

Theyve already done it with a worm and put the simulated brain in robots. A human version would also be theoreti ally possible https://www.humanconnectome.org/

>>34222 >digits There's about a Zeta of synaptic interconnections within the human connectome. AFAICT, we have the most sophisticated -- by far -- neural systems on the planet. So it probably stands to reason that there's much that could be learned by using human neural tissue for such experiments. Thanks for the information, Anon! Cheers. :^)

The Sumomo Project Chobitsu Board owner 11/24/2021 (Wed) 17:27:18 No.14409 [Reply] [Last]

So I've been working for a while at devising an integrated approach to help manage some of the software complexity we are surely going to encounter when creating working robowaifus. I went down many different bunny trails and (often) fruitless paths of exploration. In the end I've finally hit on a relatively simplistic approach that AFAICT will actually allow us to both have the great flexibility we'll be needing, and without adding undue overhead and complexity. I call this the RW Foundations library, and I believe it's going to help us all out a lot with creating workable & efficient software that (very hopefully) will allow us to do many things for our robowaifus using only low-end, commodity hardware like the various single-board computers (SBCs) and microcontrollers. Devices like the Beaglebone Blue and Arduino Nano for example. Of course, we likely will also need more powerful machines for some tasks as well. But again, hopefully, the RW Foundations approach will integrate smoothly with that need as well and allow our robowaifus to smoothly interoperate with external computing and other resources. I suppose time will tell. So, to commemorate /robowaifu/'s 5th birthday this weekend, I've prepared a little demonstration project called Sumomo. The near-term goal for the project is simply to create a cute little animated avatar system that allows the characters Sumomo and Kotoko (from the Chobits anime series) to run around having fun and interacting with Anon. But this is also a serious effort, and the intent is to begin fleshing out the real-world robotics needs during the development of this project. Think of it kind of like a kickstarter for real-world robowaifus in the end, but one that's a very gradual effort toward that goal and a little fun along the way. I'll use this thread as a devblog and perhaps also a bit of a debate and training forum for the many issues we all encounter, and how a cute little fairybot/moebot pair can help us all solve a few of them. Anyway, happy birthday /robowaifu/ I love you guys! Here is my little birthday present to you. === >rw_sumomo-v211124.tar.xz.sha256sum 8fceec2958ee75d3c7a33742af134670d0a7349e5da4d83487eb34a2c9f1d4ac *rw_sumomo-v211124.tar.xz >backup drop

>>33843 >Blender does a lot of relevant things to support high performance, hard and soft realtime requirements, and heterogeneous development. Not sure what you mean about realtime in Blender's case, but otherwise fair enough. It's a remarkable system today! :^) >Blender's design docs I've seen these in the past, but since I stopped actively building Blender 2-3 years ago, I kind of let it slip my mind. So thanks for the reminder. I personally like Blender's documentation efforts, though I've heard some disagree. Not-uncommonly, this is one of those tasks that get pushed to the 'back burner', and is often left to volunteer work to accomplish. Given the breadth & scope of the platform, I'd say the Blender Foundation has done a yeoman's job at the doco work, overall. Very passable. <---> Also, reading that link reminded me of USD. NVIDIA is currently offering developers their version of free training on this topic, and I've been pondering if I can make the time to attend. A huge amount of the DCC industry has come together to cooperate on Pixar's little baby, and today it's a big, sprawling system. Why it's of interest to us here is that most of what a robowaifu will need to do to analyze and construct models of her 'world' is already accounted for inside this system. While there are plenty of other (often higher-speed) ways to accomplish the same (or nearly the same) tasks, the fact that USD has become such a juggernaut, with a highly-regimented approach to scene descriptions, and with such broad approval, improves the likelihood IMO that other Anons from the film & related industries may in fact be able to help us here once they discover robowaifus in the future -- if we're already using USD to describe her world and the things within it. I hope all that made sense, Anon. https://openusd.org/release/glossary.html# >===

>>33845 >Not sure what you mean about realtime in Blender's case This page looks relevant: https://developer.blender.org/docs/features/cycles/render_scheduling/ Blender does progressive rendering, which starts by rendering low-resolution frames. If there's extra time left over before a frame needs to be rendered, it generates more samples to generate a higher-resolution frame. The equivalent for video generation at a fixed framerate would be running a small number of denoising steps for the next frame, and running additional denoising steps if the next frame doesn't need to be rendered yet. For text generation at a fixed token rate, it would be equivalent to doing speculative decoding for the initial response, then using (maybe progressively) larger models if the next token doesn't need to be output yet. For a cognitive architecture with a fixed response rate, I think the equivalent would be generating an initial response, then continually refining the response based on self-evaluations & feedback from other modules until the the response needs to be output. >USD Very nice. I hadn't heard of this. It looks like a goldmine of information. Your explanation does make sense, and it's a great example of the sort of design patterns that I expect would be useful, in this case for modeling the environment & context.

>>33850 OK good point, CyberPonk. Such UX optimizations can fairly be said to be in the domain of soft-realtime. And certainly, integrating GPU processing code into the system to speed the rendering processes of Cycles & EEVEE has had major positive impacts. I personally think the fact that Ton chose to create the entire GUI for Blender in OpenGL all those years ago has had many far-reaching effects, not the least of which is general responsiveness of the system overall (especially as it has rapidly grown in complexity over the last few years). <---> >It looks like a goldmine of information Glad you like it! It's fairly easy to overlook that describing a scene is in fact a very-complex, nuanced, and -- I'm going to say it -- human undertaking. And when you consider that task from the deeply-technical aspect that USD (and we here) need to accommodate, then you wind up with quite a myriad of seeming-odd-juxtapositions. Until D*sney got their claws into it, Pixar was a one-of-a-kind studio, and well up to such a complicated engineering effort. I doubt they could do it as well today. If at all. ~~DEI~~ DIE to the rescue!111!!ONE! :D Cheers, Anon. :^) >=== -fmt, minor, funpost edit

>>33857 I looked up that USD. "USD stands for “Universal Scene Description”". I hadn't heard of it. Wow, that's some super comprehensive library and format. Hats off to pixar for open sourcing this.

>>34201 >Hats off to pixar for open sourcing this. Well, it's a vested-interest, but yeah; you're absolutely correct Grommet. Sadly, I'm sure they couldn't even pull it off today; they've become quite afflicted with the incompetency crisis. >protip: competency doesn't cause a crisis, only incompetency does. :^)
