About the gen-AI hype

Posted on May 7, 2024 by Yµn ^…^ ƒ(x) aka. Yunus Emre Vurgun

There is too much hype, or should I say ‘hopeium’ going on around the generative AI field discussed in social media. Seeing x100 performance with a combination of previous technology with new processing methods and better hardware is quite impressive as most of us would never have imagined this much power, BUT, these innovations will NOT solve all the problems in the world, and no, evil robots will not come after you anytime soon.

Balancing AGI Expectations and Computational Resources

Posted on May 5, 2024 by Yµn ^…^ ƒ(x) aka. Yunus Emre Vurgun

There is a complicated balance between our expectations for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and the computational resources required to achieve it. In the pursuit of AGI (no one is sure how to define it properly), we envision systems that can perform any intellectual task that a human can (though we still don't know what we humans really can do).

Computer Vision and Our Biological Vision Algorithms

Posted on March 20, 2024 by Yµn ^…^ ƒ(x) aka. Yunus Emre Vurgun

This field is especially special in a way that it has roots in our own vision systems. Because in order to make sense of how it is possible to create a virtual vision, image recognition and such scientific tasks, we find ourselves needing to go to the roots of the desire to make the virtual version of a biological ability we automatically acquired at birth. Many theories are present, and some have been discarded, but let’s take “Geons” for example.

The company named "Cognition" has announced their new AI "software engineer" called "Devin," claiming it's an "artificial software engineer." The buzz is that we might not need programmers anymore! Sounds a bit dramatic, right?
