Chatgpt is too slow to be Neuro, whatever he uses as a backbone is far faster and more specialized but dumber.

At best it is GPT-3 levels, Neuro is outdated in a fast changing field like AI but people like her not because she is the most advanced but everything else. Vedal outsources the hard parts like voice recognition, TTS, singing and etc. to AWS but without the infrastructure he has built up, no AI Vtuber is going to come close to dethroning him. That being said, Vedal is basically right now saddled with tech debt and is just coasting and not trying to solve that issue. Someone will eventually dethrone him and make something better than Neuro given that, but I will give it 2-3 years, and most likely will happen after the AI bubble pops because all the knowledgeable people who can do it are making gangbusters of money doing actual work instead of trying to compete to make a bot to milk Vtuber simps.
>>
>>87572300
I bet Neuro/Evil could be even more successful if they could get new models and outfits from an artist other than Anny. Vedal kind of messed up by making her such an integral part of the Neuroverse.
>>

How does Neuro actually work?

>>87572592
I doubt anyone is ever going to replicate the success of Vedal in that field, slop will never sell without something resembling a soul behind it.

vedal glued together 50 different API’s other smarter software engineers created and she is the sum of that

It's too bad the Taiwan yab means we'll never get to see country-level analytics for EN. Most of the big Twitch indies/Vshojo that have revealed them have overwhelmingly NA audiences that actually pay for shit. The best we have for Holo is updoots on member posts, but even that is at best a proxy.
On the other hand, merch sales are basically all leaked for Holo, whereas we have no idea what sales are for most of the Twitch side.

Catalogfags don't quite understand that Dooby vs. filian or VShojo vs. Indies doesn't really work. In the end it's always people who actually value the vtubers for the people they are vs. people who value Japanese business men owning and taking 50% of their oshis money while hampering them with a shitload of restrictions in the name of the brand. Every successful vtuber that owns their own brand is another victory against Japanese corpos.

The best thing you and other /swarm/fags can do is not "shut thet shit down" and instead completely ignore catalog bait like this - whether it's baiting you or using Neuro to bait others, just let the catalogfags argue amongst themselves. They'll get bored of falseflagging eventually and move onto another community that will respond to them.

I've heard that Vedal has started streaming to Bilibili but did the popularity come from him testing the waters over there or did he start because there was already Chinese interest in Neuro somehow?

>>87574217
Neuro had a huge fanbase there previous, lots of clippers with hundreds of thousands of views. They more or less forced him to come over there, as it was there were a lot of Chinese with VPN on Twitch and the discord. Plus all the fanworks they made, it was hard to not notice.
>>
>>87574177
Some holo sperg already tried cancelling him on twitter because he was communicating with Kiara. Doubt he is interested in interacting with that fanbase anymore.

>>87574279

She has an enormous fanbase there but Vedal streams during CN rat hours at 4am or something.

It feels like there's been a shift these last 5 months. Normally you would have holo/niji/phase threads 24/7 but now, especially after the Ame thing, there's a lot of post about indies and Vshojo.
I guess numberkeks realized that holos numbers are worthless and that the new hotness is twitch indies like Neuro and Filian.

There's also the fact that it's not just white people that have money. As that pic shows, a lot of Hololive's audience is from Japan and they spend way more than Americans do, at least in Hololive.

I don't think youtube processes russian credit cards.

I would never take literal redditor in fedora seriously but the thing is no one has ever win a debate with him or presented good arguments.

I don't know if music stats would be representative of stream viewership since as far as I know most Holos release music in Japanese, and the company actively encourages pandering to JP. You can look at stuff like superchat data for any of these girls which is always overwhelming NA.

That's consistent with the claim, which is that Holo has a large, non-paying Asian audience. It may still be that song numbers aren't representative, but even if NA is a 2-3x larger part of stream viewers that would still be well below Twitch indies.
>>

>That's consistent with the claim, which is that Holo has a large, non-paying Asian audience.
The data in that pic shows a large Asian audience from Japan/Taiwan etc which have historically paid more than the NA audience. The claim was about poor SEA people making up a large portion of the Holo audience when that data seems to show they make up maybe 10-15% at most.
>>
>>87582602
Did you read the post I'm replying to? They're saying that almost all of the supas/membas on EN streams are in USD. It may be that Asians pay for stuff in other way though, particularly buying merch.

I'll answer as a one off and since I'm being nice. As someone working in the weeds here in Silicon Valley and doing some research and practical development in my offtime, I think the dooming is pretty dumb without any conclusive evidence this technology can scale. My own conclusion is barring another paradigm shift, the current technology will never scale up to AGI. At best, someone will come up with a way to chain together several thousand expert large language models into something resembling AGI but without resolving hallucination problems and integration which even GPT-4o isn't the greatest at and etc., I really doubt it will come to pass. We're due for another AI winter before AGI passes the sniff test IMO.
That is not to say everyone's talk of what would happen and etc. without alignment and programming in an Asimov type style rules is unfounded. But I just don't think we need to answer it immediately and urgently given the above.

I don't work in the field unfortunately so I am not a definitive source but I am fairly grounded as a fair few of my friends and former coworkers do work in that field right now. Just to give you some more peace of mind and context. Even if it was possible to reach AGI with this, the costs are going to stop you before anything. Pic related is a chart someone made on how much it costs to train a model. It already costs 100m+ to train the latest models. At best, we have another singular magnitude increase in costs we can afford, going to 1-10 billion before you outstrip in training costs the GDP of the countries which can't afford it. Remember you have to pay staff and etc. too which is another bunch of money. The USA GDP per year is 20 trillion, there is only so much room you can scale and no country is going to convince its citizens that spending the entire year's budget on an LLM is worth it.
>>
>>87585054
So it's basically the opposite of Moore's law - as LLMs get more capable, they become more expensive at an exponentially increasing rate. There is no company in the world that can spend $100 billion to train an AI, it's basically the domain of states, and only great power states at that.

I hear he lost weight in the end

don't get sucked into worshipping a gay jewish autist

Honestly you barely even need to work out, if at all. Don't eat garbage and eat smaller portions. Once you've memed your body into feeling full after a single, moderate portion, you're basically gold.

I see Phasefags are jealous because they are friends.

Your kind is even dumber than the number monkeys.

I honestly don't get Neuro or why you would want to watch it beyond than 5 minutes as a tech demo.

Cope. I’m going to have 40 AI wives that suck my dick every day

then you've never watched her streams. she's hilarious in collabs, even her solo 'boring' streams are fun
>>
>>87604866
You wouldn't. It's uohfags.

>she
>her
There's no sentience so no 'hilarity'. You wouldn't call a program that randomly fetches a joke from the internet hilarious.
>>
>>87606946
AI algorithms have already surpassed human’s in many area’s. Chess. Generating undergrad level essays. Protein folding. It’s true that there is no sentience, merely statistical associations, but it’s not crazy to think neuro could be as or more entertaining than any other streamer.

>>87572300
Huh why is froot that low? Weren't there so many people supporting her?
>>
Matara isn't very interesting alone
Why do you think she tweets replies so often?
>>
>>87606946
Almost anything can be hilarious. A funny shaped rock can be hilarious. Hilarity doesn't require sentient intention.
>>
>Neuro already had a collab with phase and vshojo
who is this bait thread even for?
>>
>>87598270
I want to molest Vedal
