AI generated video keeps getting better. Here is an example from OmniHuman-1 by ByteDance. Why do we even need human actors anymore? https://www.reddit.com/r/singularity/s/UBlqfPyCwq
China has also ported DeepSeek to run on Huawei 910x accelerators that are banned in the US, UK, and EU. V3 is priced at 1 yuan $0.13) per million tokens of input and 2 per output through SiliconFlow. R1 is priced at 4 and 16. https://www.yahoo.com/tech/beginning-end-deepseek-goes-100-183100522.html China is investing heavily in building its own chips after US export controls on NVIDIA and advanced lithography from Dutch ASML under US pressure. Prior to 2020, US and Chinese scienctists worked together and shared data freely, but both Trump and Biden put an end to that. You can see where this is going. China was way ahead of the US on controlling Internet content to suppress dissent, and it is clear that the rest of the world will follow. The bipartisan ban on TikTok and proposed bill to ban Chinese AI like DeepSeek is just the beginning. It is clear that social media content will be AI moderated and generated, run by tech billionaires beholden to whoever is in power. It's not uncontrolled, self improving AI that we need to worry about. The goal is not intelligence, it's modeling human behavior. All you need to pass the Turing test or to create an upload of your mind is predicting your outputs and carrying them out in real time. But the money is in predicting what you will want and selling it to you. Prediction is the key to control, and AI is better at it than you are. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T15cb7b094ac2a18c-M8438a2e841abaa9ed3b5aa26 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
