One think we can concur is that each and everyone of us has hyperfixations, some have permanent ones, others have cyclic ones but it’s one of the things that makes us who we are and makes as happy.
My hiperfixations tend to be related to media, a tv series, a book series or about medical cases/diseases, etc. My 5 year hyperfixates (for now) on flags, countries, capitals and car brands and brands in general.
I try to stay away from some hyperfixations that cause me too much anxiety like true crime and real disasters (stampedes, wars, earthquakes, etc)
What are yours? And feel free to share some knowledge!
That sounds like a great situation to be in. What’s something on the leading edge of AI that most people aren’t aware but would likely find interesting?
I think the open-source Orca ai model created by Microsoft is the biggest thing right now. They trained it by using Chatgpt and Gpt4 to explain complex questions to it. Currently, it outperforms Vicuna-13b which is pretty powerful when it comes to open-source models but more importantly it’s comparable to Chatgpt and even outperforms gpt4 on some tasks. They said that there are still many things they haven’t tried yet which could increase Orca’s performance.
