With LLMs becoming mainstream, CAPTCHAs are quickly becoming obsolete. AI agents from big tech, designed to book trips and buy tickets, will seal their fate.

Finding a durable bot detection system that can outsmart advanced AI while remaining user-friendly for humans seems increasingly unlikely.
‘Yes, I am a human’: bot detection is no longer working – and just wait until AI agents come along
Designed in the early 2000s to stop rogue bots, we could at least justify the infuriation when they did their job properly.

Ovis1.6-Gemma2-27B was just released.

I used the 9B version in the past for document understanding and it was similar to Qwen2 VL 7B, so this one should be better (it's also explicitly mentioned "Enhanced Document Understanding" as a key feature).

I gained a newfound respect for so-called 'prompt engineers'. Trying to approach the LLM with an engineer's mindset (impacting attention outputs, adding steering vectors etc.) feels like the wrong approach.

Each token I put in the prompt matters and I now focus more on that.

"Agentic AI" seems like pure hype to me.

Even when it will be functional and production ready, for real world tasks, RPA solutions will still be superior because: 1. Speed of execution and 2. Clarity of what the human desires and better control.

Dare is also in the house after a very long break here
Despite differences with Apple’s public stances, Tim Cook worked closely with Trump from 2017 to 2021, frequently meeting him and even giving gifts. In contrast, Cook rarely interacts with the Biden administration.

Thus Apple avoided tariff impacts under Trump and is expected to do so again.
Apple’s Tim Cook Has Ways to Cope With the Looming Trump Tariffs
With its heavy reliance on China, Apple remains vulnerable to Donald Trump’s tariffs. But Tim Cook likely has a plan to soften the blow. Also: A detailed look at Apple’s upcoming smart home device, an...

A very cool read with lots of potential market value. I suspect OpenAI is using something like this internally for their plugins.

We now have 3 ggml RedPajama models. They are quantized and some have ~2GB.

I'm going to try to use GPT4 to help me navigate and understand https://github.com/lucidrains/x-transformers .

This is going to take some time, but in theory is should be better than any internet course.

Over time we’re going to see more people who were once happy to share their work online look for ways to opt out of their writings, code or art being used to train AI.

This is on track to becoming the biggest threat the Open Web has faced in years.
