After quitting Twitter in December, yesterday I closed my Reddit account, for a new digital home in the Fediverse: Mastodon It’s going to be intersting to see how the communities evolve, I’m already seeing some of the more devisive themes being represented. Meanwhile I’ve been playing more with Google Bard, OpenAI Chat-GPT, and Bard; their functionality impresses me on a daily basis. From having discussions with the bots, having them…

Playing around with ChatGPT & Google Co-lab, I have this working script, that trains a model using neural networks, to play Mario. I’m really keen to play with this more, just need more time in my days!

Alerted by my darling wife yesterday that Arlo had stopped working, this usually means that the Raspberry Pi that runs Pi-Hole needs restarting… never looked into the issue, as this is few and far between. Checked my Twitter feed @DataAugmented, as a couple of python scripts that I have running on the same Pi post & retweet there… no activity for over 24 hours, bugger :p Reboot Pi… it hangs…

Here we go, never before heard songs by The Beatles… written not by Paul & John, but an AI algorythm (see what I did there) 🙂 Data grabbed from here: Beatles lyrics and the words they used most Here’s the first song, inspired by the last question addressed the the William Gibson model; Who is Voytek? The song is named Heiress, although think it will go by the name of…
Hard to believe it’s actually the year 2020! It’s a date used historically in sci-fi, and particularly a Cyberpunk RPG game I loved as a teen… so excited for the Cyberpunk 2077 title that’s coming in September! Games I’ve been playing: Modern Warfare – today reached level 155 in Season 1; heaps of fun, but the updates have been a nightmare having to download DLC packs multiple times Sekiro –…

Here’s a copy of the code I have working for the OpenAI GPT-2 1558M model A couple of changes to the source code that were required to get it to execute: tensorflow-gpu==1.12.0 wouldn’t work, updated to: !pip3 install tensorflow-gpu==1.16.0 interactive_conditional_samples.py updated to: model_name=’1558M’ https://github.com/AmbiguousError/gpt-2/blob/master/GPT_2.ipynb

I had to see what the GPT-2 1558M model thought of Death Stranding, here’s a Guardian article I sourced the first couple of paragraphs from: Death Stranding review – Hideo Kojima’s radically tough slow-burning epic Model prompt Death Stranding defies convention, focusing on “connection” over combat and (almost) removing the notion of restarting a mission when things go wrong. Case in point: I failed to plan a delivery route and…

Excited to hear about the release of Open AI’s 1.5 Billion GPT-2 model, had to take it for a test drive. Couldn’t produce a trained model on my own text as yet, but I did manage to load the 1558M model into Google Colab and run a couple of conditional samples. I grabbed the text from a Guardian articles on the flooding in Doncaster: Severe flood warnings remain in Midlands…

My Raspberry Pi Python Twitter bot stopped posting last night. After I had strong words with it, and told it to pick up its game I deleted the cache database file and let it rebuild the history. This is something that I really need to fix, as my PiHole shows that my bot has made approx 191,383 calls to the twitter api in the last 24 hours… touch wood I’m…

… or partial ones at least 🙂 Firebase Auto ML I’ve managed to create a simple Android app using Firebase Auto ML, that now detects Paw Patrol pups with a decent success rate. This success would have blown me away a year ago, sad now given exposure to Auto ML and Google’s sophisticated tools I just think this is ok… but I do have a couple of hypotheses to test…
