Nvidia changed EULA - no deep learning on geforce gpus in datacenters • r/deeplearning
I feel as if this could be a good thing. It would keep the price down for the general consumer market. Else I'd fear supply/demand could drive the GTX1180 to be a $1000 card. It sucks because their price to performance ratio is way higher, but consumers can't afford the same as what corporations can.
Sick of the same old Christmas Carols? AI can write you a new tune
It's Christmas Day!! How many carol singers have you encountered so far this? Or how many times have you heard Michael Bublé on repeat? Whilst there's a new Christmas Number One every year, they're never particularly festive thanks to the X-Factor, and no one seems to be dedicating their time to creating a new generation of Christmas classics. What to do when humans are failing at a task? Last Christmas, Researchers from University of Toronto developed an AI system that composes and then sings a Christmas song through analysing an image that you upload.
AI Has Been Creating Music and the Results Are...Weird
In late May, a small crowd at St. Dunstan's church in East London's Stepney district gathered for two hours of traditional Irish music. But this event was different; the tunes it featured were composed, in part, by an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm, dubbed folk-rnn, a stark reminder of how cutting-edge AI is gradually permeating every aspect of human life and culture--even creativity. Developed by researchers at Kingston University and Queen Mary University of London, folk-rnn is one of numerous projects exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence and creative arts. Folk-rnn's performance was met with a mixture of fascination, awe, and consternation at seeing soulless machines conquering something widely considered to be the exclusive domain of human intelligence. But these expeditions are discovering new ways that man and machine can cooperate.
New Religion Created to Worship Artificial Intelligence God
A Church has been developed by a Silicon Valley engineer Anthony Levandowski to worship an Artificial Intelligence God. His aim is to bring together people who believe that Artificial Intelligence is surpassing human capability, knowledge and intellectual & cognitive skill. Mr. Levandowski said, "I …

How AI can make us better at arguing
The ability to argue, to express our reasoning to others, is one of the defining features of what it is to be human. Processes of argumentation run our governments, structure scientific endeavour and frame religious belief. So should we worry that new advances in artificial intelligence are taking steps towards equipping computers with these skills? As technology reshapes our lives, we are all getting used to new ways of working and new ways of interacting. Millennials have known nothing else.
[MON 25 DEC 17] UNDERSTANDING AI (5)
Marco Ribeiro, a graduate student at the University of Washington in Seattle, probes DNNs using what are called "counterfactual probes" -- a trick related to that used by the MIT researchers to spoof DNNs. The idea is to give the DNN inputs carefully varied over a wide range, and see which way the outputs of the DNN jump. For example, consider a neural network that reads in the text of movie reviews, and then flags those that give a movie a thumb's-up. To do this, the DNN would first be trained by being given reviews flagged as being positive, plus reviews flagged as being negative, with the DNN's ability then using the training from these examples to flag reviews appropriately itself.
