I've shared some ai stuff on Facebook and they are some of the least liked/interacted posts. People have no idea, the opensource community is sending a nuclear bomb level of effort through AI.

When stable diffusion was released it wasn't even a week before people got it running on cards 40% smaller than the original requirement and now in some repos that number is down to 2gb.

When models like adept.ai get released I wouldn't be surprised if open source beats academics/corps to the first general AI. It already seems like Google and others are making headway on the issues that are holding back a general AI (retaining memory, model size, efficiency, etc...)

I think the memory is the key. I suspect that we are conscious because we are a self-referential loop with permanent (until it's not) memory (that's why it "feels like something to be us"--we are constantly observing ourselves) and I think that's where consciousness for artificial intelligence will come from too--The self-referential loop that remembers, learns, evolves.
