AI vs Humans vs Reality

Language models - Good Read

My Favorite lines

  • Just because a machine can talk about anything doesn’t mean it understands what it is talking about.
  • LLMs’ understanding of language, while impressive, is shallow.

What the systems miss

  • Contexts 
  • Deeper understanding
  • Listening/feeling the notes

My Perspective

Machines can text emphathetic replies but cannot express / feel/support unless they are trained on how to be genuinely emphathetic. We are multilevelled and our emotions/responses are more complex than classification/prediction models.

AR Hype - Good Read

  • Because people are still figuring out how it works and what interactions it supports, a lot of it is speculative

My Perspective

Except for Games, there is no potential need for the near future :)

Keep Exploring!!!

AR vs VR

Virtual Reality

  • Virtual Reality (VR) is a computer-generated environment with scenes and objects that appear to be real
  • Virtual reality (VR) is a simulated experience 
  • Three-dimensional, computer-generated environment
  • VR requires a headset device

Augmented Reality

  • Augmented reality (AR) is an interactive experience of a real-world environment
  • Augmented reality (AR) overlays digital content and information onto the physical world
  • AR uses a real-world setting while VR is completely virtual
  • AR can be accessed with a smartphone
  • AR - Exploring Hotels in Google maps, Exploring things inside a car, Keeping things in Home and visualizing how it looks

Keep Exploring!!!

Amazon Go /Big Basket Smart Machine - Tech Analysis

Amazon Go
  • QR Code for user account linking
  • Pick items, Auto detected
  • Multiple validation points (Video Object Detection, Shelf Weight sensor-based confirmation, RFID reads etc)
  • Multiple RFID readers to capture item movement across ISLEs
Cons
  • Massive surveillance 
  • Real-time computation
IMO, Big Basket Smart Machine is also similar to the implementation
  • QR Code for user account linking
  • Pick and Buy
  • Mobile App integration 
  • Weight Sensors used to detect Shelf Item Quantity
  • Unique Items in each row. It is not mixed
Since its a standalone machine, it will not need any tracking with RFID / Video camera. Only Weight sensors sufficient and it is a single person operated at a time.

Happy Learning!!!
