It's almost inevitable that it's going to happen, in a few months you won't be able to take a leak without an AI telling you to wash your hands. (Exaggeration)

Anyhow, technically doing this on the local machine is the way to go, checkout the 7b llama models that can be quantized down to 4bit. Something like that trained for games, run it on the background on a single thread.

It would not be super fast but it could chug away in the background analysing the game state and making decisions.

LLMs seem to be a top-down "reverse pipeline" method, form the intelligence from the interconnections of peoples intelligence through language.

it seems that jc is advocating more a classic bottom-up approach. ie create an artificial insect then mouse type brain and build up small modules.

the thing that stands out here is that it all seems to be with classical computer hardware and not some radical new hardware.

Started using chatGPT for code problems today, im working on updating an ancient Adobe actionscript app to latest flex. Yeah I know it's a dead tech but no choice. It's all new to me so it's slow going. My main Lang is C#.

chatGPT was crazy helpful, really obscure problems it pointed me in the right direction. Some of its answers were wrong but we got there in the end and lots of progress made.

All it needs is HAL9000s voice. Utterly amazing.
