Fairphone has variant with classic Android, which I have, so paying over NFC with Google wallet worked. I tried it, but do not use anymore by choice. Have you looked for alternatives? I heard about some, but since I do not use it, haven’t searched for them.

But where else are they hiding? Definitely not in the sky, right?

Okay, it is easy to see -> a lot of people point it out

I guess because it is easy to see that living painting and conscious LLMs are incomparable. One is physically impossible, the other is more philosophical and speculative, maybe even undecidable.

I would say that artificial neuron nets try to mimic real neurons, they were inspired by them. But there are a lot of differences between them. I studied artificial intelligence, so my experience is mainly with the artificial neurons. But from my limited knowledge, the real neural nets have no structure (like layers), have binary inputs and outputs (when activity on the inputs are large enough, the neuron emits a signal) and every day bunch of neurons die, which leads to restructurizing of the network. Also from what I remember, short time memory is “saved” as cycling neural activities and during sleep the information is stored into neurons proteins and become long time memory. However, modern artificial networks (modern means last 40 years) are usually organized into layers whose struktuře is fixed and have inputs and outputs as real numbers. It’s true that the context is needed for modern LLMs that use decoder-only architecture (which are most of them). But the context can be viewed as a memory itself in the process of generation since for each new token new neurons are added to the net. There are also techniques like Low Rank Adaptation (LoRA) that are used for quick and effective fine-tuning of neural networks. I think these techniques are used to train the specialized agents or to specialize a chatbot for a user. I even used this tevhnique to train my own LLM from an existing one that I wouldn’t be able to train otherwise due to GPU memory constraints.

TLDR: I think the difference between real and artificial neuron nets is too huge for memory to have the same meaning in both.

As I said in another comment, doesn’t the ChatGPT app allow a live converation with a user? I do not use it, but I saw that it can continuously listen to the user and react live to it, even use a camera. There is a problem with the growing context, since this limited. But I saw in some places that the context can be replaced with LLM generated chat summary. So I do not think the continuity is a obstacle. Unless you want unlimited history with all details preserved.

I saw several papers about LLM safety (for example Alignment faking in large language models) that show some “hidden” self preserving behaviour in LLMs. But as I know, no-one understands whether this behaviour is just trained and does mean nothing or it emerged from the model complexity.

Also, I do not use the ChatGPT app, but doesn’t it have a live chat feature where it continuously listens to user and reacts to it? It can even take pictures. So the continuity isn’t a huge problem. And LLMs are able to interact with tools, so creating a tool that moves a robot hand shouldn’t be that complicated.

I meant alive in the context of the post. Everyone knows what painting becoming alive means.

Okay, so by my understanding on what you’ve said, LLM could be considered conscious, since studies pointed to their resilience to changes and attempts to preserve themselves?

Except … being alive is well defined. But consciousness is not. And we do not even know where it comes from.

Gray hair have better signal to heaven

I think that the software is specialized, but the hardware is not. They use some smart algorithms to distribute computation over huge number of workers.

I have to admit, it feels like I have much more free time now then during studies. Now I finish my 8 hours and I do not have to worry about nothing. No assignments, no tests, no thesis… I even had the opposite problem, what should I do during the evening.

U.S. retail coffee prices rose as much as 40%

Weren’t Brazilians supposed to pay for it?

We shoud be proud they are supporting local artists

Huh? Are you surprised that movies made in US are mostly about US? I am from Czech Republic and surprisingly, all our movies are about czech culture and none about Brazilian slave trade.

Isn’t McDonald’s in general a luxury you shouldn’t have?

What do Germans have against classic CO2 consuming oxygen producing plants?

That’s one of the most stupid reasons. Why should anyone push people out of their homes because 4000 years ago someone said so?

Thanks for your replay, it was very insightful. I have to say that I do not have anything against your tool. I think it’s wonderful that you created it and allowed anyone to use it. Also, I do not create comics, I just came across this post, so I don’t really care about the rules in this community. I just hate that so many people are refusing any AI tool because it is AI. I also don’t like how everyone is pushing AI into their products, but in my opinion there are places, where these tools are really useful. That said, I understand, that people want to ban AI generated comics. It only seemed interesting to me that as an alternative, you suggested using another tool for generating comics by computer (although there are some similarities, I know that AI tools are very different from codecomic). So lwt me repeat, codecomic sound awesome and I only wrote my comment to start a discussion.

I have one question, would it be okay to create codecomic source code with LLM?

And one final note on AI tools. Some of them are really complex. I don’t use them much, but some of them allow user to edit only parts of the image with a prompt, or create an image based on user sketch, etc.
