39: The One with the NOKIA Ringtone
Are you missing the sound of a modem connecting to the internet, a Nokia phone ringing with its signature mono ring-tone or the boing of an old TV when it is switched on? Then you should check out "Obsolete Sounds", a library of soon-to-be-forgotten audio pieces. And why is Minecraft such a popular game for AI developers? OpenAI used Minecraft for their approach to imitation learning. And can a computer be a better negotiator than a human being? Ask CICERO!
00:00 - Intro
01:30 - Check out this library of obsolete sounds, including plenty of clips of old tech
12:32 - A bot that watched 70,000 hours of Minecraft could unlock AI’s next big thing
16:56 - Metas neuer Diplomacy-Agent kann verhandeln, überzeugen und kooperieren
Summary:
Obsolete Sounds is a new project that its creator Cities and Memory claims is “the world’s biggest collection of obsolete and disappearing sounds.” It consists of over 150 sounds that are increasingly rare, ranging from sounds used in retro video games, recordings of old-fashioned transport, and plenty of mechanical sounds from outdated hardware. As well as the sounds themselves, Cities and Memory has also published remixes of each of them from a collection of over 150 musicians and sound artists.
A bot that watched 70,000 hours of Minecraft. The result is a breakthrough for a technique known as imitation learning, in which neural networks are trained to perform tasks by watching humans do them. Imitation learning can be used to train AI to control robot arms, drive cars, or navigate web pages. The next step was to use this model to generate action labels for 70,000 hours of unlabeled video taken from the internet and then train the Minecraft bot on this larger data set.
With CICERO, Meta introduces a new AI system that can negotiate with humans in natural language, convince them of strategies and cooperate with them. According to Meta, CICERO is the first language AI that can play in the board game "Diplomacy" on a human level. CICERO has been optimized for Diplomacy and the game also serves as proof of performance for the model's language capabilities: In 40 online games over 72 hours of play at "webDiplomacy.net," CICERO achieved more than twice the average score of human players and was among the top ten percent, according to Meta.
