A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Bird: "I don't know man, shit's fucked"

Jeff Bezos: "Damn, you right. Pollution going down tonight!"

Wouldn't birds* mostly be like: "Get the fsck out of my forest you mofos, unless you're female and willing, then come here and bend over!"

( * and many other animals, but mostly birds)

Yes, this is very exciting, and AI that's being used for a valuable research.

I wanna be able to talk with cats, raccoons, possums, and (worship) octopuses

Maybe we should pump the brakes a bit, mr Deep

Give Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky (and its sequels) a read. Spiders, octopi, and... other.

Yes, I love billy and bunny, and all those speech buttons.

Given where we are with LLMs, it actually feels like AI would make communication with animals very feasible.

How talking with animals would change our world … by someone who has real expertise in this subject here to tell you what’s what. Not a topic to be discussed over joints and whiskey, nope this is a serious topic that only Mr Expert On The Sociology of Interspecies Chitchat is qualified to talk about.

Don't we need a validator of some sort? To teach the ai when it's doing something right? I wonder how you train an AI on something you can't do yourself.

I thought about ai talking to animals and i think at first level we will be limited to read behavior, mood, emotion but we will still miss their identity and potentially dreams, deeper opinions.

Note: i didnt watch the vid, would prefer to read an article about it.
