DuckAI - An open-source ML research community
https://duckai.org/
DuckAI is an open and scalable academic lab and open-source community working on various Machine Learning projects. Our team consists of researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology and beyond, driven by our passion for investigating large language models and multimodal systems.
Our present endeavors concentrate on the development and analysis of a variety of dataset projects, with the aim of comprehending the depth and performance of these models across diverse domains.
Our objective is to welcome people with a variety of backgrounds to cutting-edge ML projects and rapidly scale up our community to make an impact on the ML landscape.
We are particularly devoted to open-sourcing datasets that can turn into an important infrastructure for the community and exploring various ways to improve the design of foundation models.

Is there anything actually useful or novel about "AI"?
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/2331707
> Feel like we've got a lot of tech savvy people here seems like a good place to ask. Basically as a dumb guy that reads the news it seems like everyone that lost their mind (and savings) on crypto just pivoted to AI. In addition to that you've got all these people invested in AI companies running around with flashlights under their chins like "bro this is so scary how good we made this thing". Seems like bullshit. > > I've seen people generating bits of programming with it which seems useful but idk man. Coming from CNC I don't think I'd just send it with some chatgpt code. Is it all hype? Is there something actually useful under there?

Yes, ChatGPT became dumber and I 2 days ago I cancelled my subscription
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/687651
> Title. myself and my colleague did notice that chatGPT (GPT4) started to answer very poorly in the recent month or so. For example, it was quite efficient at drawing mermaid charts, but not anymore. It fails to do a simple drawing. > > Also I've seen quote a lot of posts regarding GPT4 quality downgrade on r/ChatGPT subreddit. > > so I guess it's confirmed that OpenAI has downgraded quality of ChatGPT. Whatever that reason is - I stopped paying for ChatGPT and simply use GPT4 API with some ChatGPT interface for simple questions. It's going to be even cheaper for me.

> A Friday blog post details the Bluesky team's moderation proposals for “a shared public commons,” using things like lists, hashtags, and even “per-thread” tools that would give moderation power to each poster. The latter treats threads like a mini-forum: if you don’t like a reply, you can yeet that skeet (or just hide it). The post acknowledges why this might be problematic: Along with algorithms, hands-off moderation fits right into Jack Dorsey’s original concept for decentralized social media.

Hosting Lemmy with Traefik as a reverse proxy
cross-posted from: https://lmmy.tvdl.dev/post/259
> In light of the ongoing Reddit blackout, many users are seeking alternative platforms to host their communities. One popular option is Lemmy, a self-hosted federated link aggregator. However, most of the available documentation on running Lemmy involves using Nginx or Caddy as a reverse proxy. If you're utilizing Traefik with docker-compose and docker labels on your server, this guide will walk you through the process of setting up a working Lemmy instance without the need for Nginx or Caddy. > > Step-by-Step Guide: > > 1.
