Computer vision deals with how computers can gain high level understanding of images and videos. It involves much more than just object reconstruction. And more importantly, neural networks are a core component is just about any computer vision application since deep learning took off in the 2010s. Most computer vision is powered by some convolutional neural network or another.
Your comment contains several misconceptions and overlooks the critical role of neural networks, particularly CNNs, which are fundamental to most contemporary computer vision applications.
Language is fluid, and there is plenty of terminology that is dumb or imprecise to someone in the field, but A-ok to the wider populace. "Cloud" is also not actually a formation of water droplets, but someone's else's datacenter, but to some people the cloud is everything from Gmail to AWS.
If I say AI today and most people associate the same thing with it (these days that usually means generative AI
, i.e. mostly diffusion or transformer models) then that's fine for me. Call it Plumbus for all I care.
Local models are a thing, and GPT is extremely useful in some cases, even with the corporate handholding. I find the whole space super exciting, personally.
You kids, ha. I'm hitting 40 soon, and Lemmy is absolutely as much social media as Reddit is, just different scale and technological underpinning. Don't be high and mighty about it, you can easily burn as much time scrolling through Lemmy communities.
And that's just smart design, so you don't get fried if the breaker or RCD is physically blocked or is wilfully held in place, like with hillbilly Bob over here.
Well yeah, that's my point. It's good to so that sometimes though, to deconstruct things like that. Telepathic electric meat is awesome, beef juice maybe less so (I still eat cheese, and drink milk occasionally, but it is weird.)
It's one of those things that gets weirder the longer you think about it. Pouring some cow milk from a carton I to your cereal? Totally not weird. Beef juice squeezed from some utter, along with puss and hormones, ultra heated and squirted through a fine mesh? Pretty weird.
Juice is reserved for liquids extracted from fruits and veggies. Almonds are neither, they're nuts (well, seed really). It's called almond milk because of it's appearance and texture. the more you knooooow.
They are already bolting on multi modality, autonomous agent behavior and so on. Most uses are no longer just token prediction, but a whole soup of other models and data injection. That sort of combination of things will get us to the next level )and already has in many ways).
Let's just hope for Gabe to live a long life still. Valve is a private company and not nearly as much in danger for enshittification as a public company would be.
