OTC CatchUp #189

Date: 22-06-2024

Duration: 4 hrs 12 mins

Topics Discussed

  • We had a detailed discussion about AI, AGI and SSI.

    • Aniket Kadam talked about how AI is bad at consistency, while Rishit Dagli tried to counter the argument by suggesting that it is a math problem and can be solved eventually.

    • We had an interesting discussion about realism and how AI can replicate most of the already-produced art.

      • Building on the previous discussion, we tapped into the philosophical topic of what work is derivative and what is original.

    • jaden furtado shared a drawing that he made and asked the group to identify which was made by him and which one was made by AI.

  • Rishit Dagli discussed the out-of-distribution (OOD) problem, stating that models can only generate in-distribution (IID) data. However, he mentioned that it is mathematically possible to build OOD from IID by changing the conditions for the Gnedenko-Kolmogorov Central Limit theorem.

    • He also shared a blog post where he wrote about a part of this topic.

  • We talked about Windows Copilot+ PCs and the Recall feature and how it was ironically recalled.
