I've wondered for a long time if we would have been able to make do without protected mode (or hardware protection in general) if user code was verified/compiled at load, e.g. the way the JVM or .NET do it...Could the shift on transistor budget have been used to offset any performance losses?

I guess the day that a corporate AI could easily fake all my online existence is drawing nigh.

TLDR: The video got VAEed, and we are the discriminators being fooled.

The same happens with whisper-large-v3 on Chinese transcription: silence is transcribed to something like "please upvote, share and favourite this video". I suspect they trained the model on some random YouTube video without carefully picking really useful data.

In Chinese, it always added something like "For study/research purpose only. Please delete after 48 hours." This is what those volunteers added in subtitles of (pirated) movies/shows.

Every few years, new progresses might remind me of this talk by Gary Bernhardt:

It's quite remarkable how much the goal posts have shifted when it comes to what is impressive with AI/ML. Things like this are a good reminder.

10 years ago the GAN paper came out and everyone was excited how amazing the generated image quality was (https://arxiv.org/abs/1406.2661)

The amount of progress we've made is mind boggling.

Looks like a variant of iron-air battery project to me.

Just an FYI,the Yi license is a custom license an is not what I would describe an "open license": https://huggingface.co/01-ai/Yi-34B/blob/main/LICENSE

It's non-commercial only: "If you plan to use the Yi Series Models and Derivatives for Commercial Purposes, you should contact the Licensor in advance" and "Your use of the Yi Series Models must comply with the Laws and Regulations as well as applicable legal requirements of other countries/regions, and respect social ethics and moral standards," which is all fine and good, but as defined in the terms, “Laws and Regulations” refers to the laws and administrative regulations of the mainland of the People's Republic of China.

I tend to refer to this type of license as NC/China and I don't even bother poking around with those. I'll wait for the next Mistral or other Apache 2.0 model to come out.

Note, for coding, DeepSeek Coder 33B is already stronger and released under a less restrictive license.

The model card for Yi-34B included benchmark scores in several Chinese-oriented evaluation sets, CMMLU, C-eval and GAOKAO.
