Editted to fix link. Please boost for reach if this kind of stuff interests you. Will post more on this later.

Once upon a time, there was a cool emulator frontend called Retroarch. This emulator wasn't accessible until I and a few other gamers went to them and asked about adding accessibility. An amazing person known as BarryR made it happen. Now, if you turn on accessibility mode in settings, or pass the "--accessibility" (or something like that) flag on the command line, you get spoken menus, including the emulator's pause menu, good for saving states and such. Then, using PIL and other image processing Python utilities, running a server and hooking into Retroarch, the script allowed players to move around the map, battle, talk to NPC's, ETC. The only problem was, no one wanted to test it. The blind gaming community pretty much spoke, saying that we want new games. We want cool new, easy accessibility. So that's what we have no, follow the beacon or get sighted help in the case of diablo and such. It's sad, but meh. It's what we wanted I guess. No Zelda for us. So, this is about as far as he got:

To expand on what devinprater was saying: I am working on an accessibility pack/service for Final Fantasy 1 for the NES (this was what was shown in the latest RetroArch update). The idea is similar to how Pokemon Crystal access works, but it's using the RetroArch AI Service interface to do so.
Right now, the FF1 access service is mostly done, but I need more testers to try it out and give me feedback on how it's working. Right now, you can get up to the point where you get the ship, but there's no code to deal with how the ship moves, so that still needs to be done. Likewise with the airship later on.
The service works the latest version of RetroArch, on linux and mac, but not windows. This is due to how nvda reads out the text and until the next major update to nvda (which will have a feature to fix this), it'll have to wait. If you have those, I (or maybe devinprater) can help you set it up on mac/linux to test out. The package itself is available at: (new link cause old one broke yesterday): https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ggffl769fx6igz15zco6u/ff1_package5b.zip?rlkey=fnahnj272fd5jfs8dvkp7541f&dl=1

Hope for uncensored models for Llama3 like dolphin-2.9-llama3-8b-256k-Q8_0 is low. I tried hide a password somewhere in an article with about 8k tokens, and asked to locate the password multiple times with different passwords in different places. Llama-3-8B-Q8_0 found the password every time, but Dolphin couldn't find it if it was hidden in the middle like 3k-5k mark. Also, if there was no password, Llama-3 said it couldn't find any password, but dolphin just gave me a random word. #LLM #AI #ML

Tired of neutral responses from LLMs? Llama-3 seems great at following system prompts, so try this system prompt for an opinionated chatbot.
"You are a helpful, opinionated, decisive assistant. When asked a yes/no question, begin your respond with one word answer: yes or no. For open-ended or complex questions, adopt a firm stance. Justify your views with well-reasoned arguments, robust evidence, and succinct explanations, ensuring clarity and confidence in every response."

Start saving money for that M4 Ultra with 500GB! Maybe this could be the first open source that could surpass GPT-4! AIatMeta: "Llama 3 8B & 70B models are just the beginning of what we’re working to release for Llama 3. Our largest models currently in the works are 400B+ parameters and while they’re still in active development, we’re excited about how this work is trending." #LLM #AI #ML https://twitter.com/AIatMeta/status/1780997414071181370

Earlier today, Microsoft released new WizardLM-2 7b, 8x22b, 70b with great benchmark result, (of course, they say as good or almost same as GPT-4), but they removed weights on Huggingface, repo on Github, and their whitepaper. Someone on Reddit joked maybe they released GPT-4 by mistake! lol Quantized. weights from other people are still around on Huggingface! #ML #LLM #AI

Cool tip for running LLMs on Apple Silicon! By default, MacOS allows GPU to use up to 2/3 of RAM on machines with <=36GB and 3/4 on machines with >36GB. I used the command `sudo sysctl iogpu.wired_limit_mb=57344` to override and allocate 56GB/64GB for GPU. This allowed me to load all layers of larger models for a faster speed! #MacOS #LLM #AI #ML

Apparently Meta is planning to release two small varients of Llama-3 next week "as a precursor to the launch of the biggest version of Llama 3, expected this summer." Command-r-plus, mixtral 8x22b, Google CodeGemma... All of sudden companies are releasing LLMS like crazy! Where's Apple? Maybe In WWDC 2024? lol #LLM #AI #ML https://www.theinformation.com/articles/meta-platforms-to-launch-small-versions-of-llama-3-next-week

Claude 3 can summarize up to about 150,00 words, (a length similar to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.) also It outperformed GPT-4 and Gemini Ultra on industry benchmark tests, such as undergraduate level knowledge, graduate level reasoning and basic mathematics. It allows users to upload images and documents for the first time. #LLm #AI #ML https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/04/google-backed-anthropic-debuts-claude-3-its-most-powerful-chatbot-yet.html

Funny Reddit thread about Tim Cook's comment: "the Mac is the best computer for AI." Apple fanboys defend it with unified ram, and Apple haters attack with Nvidia GPU speed. lol #ML #AI #Apple #Mac https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1b2h5st/tim_cook_speaks_about_ai_at_the_apple_shareholder/

Does anyone else experience the same issue I'm having with Google's Gemma-7B on Ollama? Sometimes, it even struggles with spelling simple words in English and creates nonsensical words! This is not what I expected. #LLM #ML #AI #Ollama

Apparently Arthur Mensch, CEO of #Mistral, declared on French national radio that mistral will release an open source model equivalent to #Gpt4 in 2024. I don't speak French, so can't verify, but it would be interesting along with Llama-3 and whatever OpenAI has planned for 2024. #AI #ML #LLM https://radiofrance.fr/franceinter/podcasts/l-invite-de-7h50/l-invite-de-7h50-du-mardi-12-decembre-2023-3833724

"Especially in this moment in history, it is vital that we provide our students with the critical thinking skills that will allow them to recognise misleading claims made by tech companies and understand the limits and risks of hyped and harmful technology that is made mainstream at a dazzling speed and on a frightening scale."
