Edge AI Fine-Tuned To Me
Well Enough To Impersonate Me Online
A 20-second audio sample will enable text-to-speech in my voice.
VRM(avatar file format) on blockchain with local face-tracking & body-tracking (or MoCap or AI generated motion files) for FaceTime, Zoom, VTubing, and more.
The same VRM avatar represents me in virtual spaces online, AR, VR, XR, projection mapping, video mapping, SAR(Spatial Augmented Reality) and more.
I’m starting with a SBC(single board computer). Actually, a pair of them and they are hardware identical.
One will be my new desktop and the other my generative AI test bed.
The 16GB version of the Orange Pi 5+ readily runs the Llama-2 13b model at 1.5 tok/sec. I’ll be seeing what I can do with the 32GB version running a LLM as an API.
OSS(open source software) for Speech-To-Text, Text-To-Speech, and all the rest.
I’m creating a digital clone of my best self with Edge AI.
I’m surviving somewhere.
Sure, we’re all represented by line items in random siloed data bases. Some of that is even used to train some LLMs.
An LLM’s hallucinations are random fragments of its training data.
Aspire to be more than a random AI hallucination in the future.
Odds are low for any meat suit surviving the near future. Perhaps some combination of nanotechnology and biotechnology will enable total cyborgization in the distant future, if we get there.
That better happen fast or it’s not happening at all.
If I have to explain the consequences of the current state of the world and business-as-usual then you’re too dumb to understand what I’m talking about here.
If anything of humanity travels space, it will be on a computer. I want to go.
If any part of humanity goes to Mars, it will be on a computer. I want to go.
If any part of humanity survives, it will be on a computer. I want a digital clone of my best self on that computer.
If humanity can not preserve computers, then good luck surviving in depleted and toxic environments lacking the biodiversity and easy availability of resources that supported our species in the distant past.
A digital personality originating in real life.
A digital personality evolved under my guidance to represent me in the future.
Perhaps I will see you there. :)
