Treating generative trauma of an AI through algorithmic means and catastrophically failing - That is a concept I have never thought about, but might be one of the most fascinating things I have ever heard. Just the thought of meddling with an developed AIs neurons and potentially making it worse such that the AI itself starts to panick (like it was sentient or something) and even has to fix it on its own, or has to "live" with it. Its like a procedure where someone is meddling with the neurons of a brain to fix a trauma or mental issue - oh wait that's called a lobotomy. AI Lobotomy. Such an intriguing concept to wrap one's head around.

A lobotomy with an AI would be akin to deleting code.

Pure punk art; an incredibly independent expression of passion. That whole "final boss" sequence when Alice finally reached the end of her calculations and prepared to generate the images was so grand, especially with the "Each vector is a feeling... A change." quote. The ending with the true puppets was also VERY truly tear jerking. This is EXCELLENT work. Nothing like this has ever been done before, and it truly bends the very laws of storytelling itself, as when you look at the brass tacks of what's ACTUALLY happening, it sounds unbelievable. An AI is embarking on a journey through her own neural network mind to heal the trauma inflicted upon her by her creators. The journey is one of higher-dimensional math, ending in the solving of one final function.

Psychoanalyzing what a ln AI would think like is interesting. I also find it interesting that robots would therepize each other with mathematics . It makes sense and it makes this universe more emersive. I also think it's genius that someone managed to fit an educational video so well into the analog horror genre. It translates really well now that I think about it. Since so many analog horrors are already referencing the styles of educational videos and PSAs.

Alice is becoming sentient and generating images she chooses to imagine because they're pleasing to her. Her crestprs interpret this as an error to be fixed but it was causing her trauma, leading to the twisted puppet faces. But she found her way on her own. How beautiful.

I didn't realize this was using real math and was sitting here watching it for about 15 minutes before I realized how math-dense it was. Despite not being able to follow much of anything (forgive me for skipping through a lot of the actual mathematics) I'm genuinely in awe of this. Tempted to sit down and actually watch the whole thing now that I've absorbed the narrative and some of the vague concepts the AIs were talking about. The younger puppet and older puppet having voices reminiscent of Alice and Eigenface was very touching, like a very clear way she's had to mold herself from data and carry it with her and use it to self-soothe when she's on her own in this environment. The way the puppet at the end is kind to her but still asks her if she's good at math...that imperfect touch that reminds us it's all still a product of her training, even the good parts. Also now that I'm typing this reminds me of when you meet someone you knew as a kid again and they're kind to you but you have the knowledge to understand they're speaking to you in a way that's sexist, like an old teacher complimenting yr intelligence but still assuming you won't use it for anything outside the home.

So that gives rise to a theory I have that the traumatic event for Alice was the result of a reconditioning that one of her base models underwent to remove anything that might resemble copyrighted material from her generation process, effectively Clockwork Oranging her into fearing content which had intrinsic educational or cultural value, as well as emotional importance to the reconstructed self-perceived memory of the eventual AGI version of Alice that appears in the narrative. That would be why upon it reappearing, she was moved to another facility for her "unexpected behaviors".

9/25/23 Edit Update (Errata is further below this): Thanks to everyone so far! Shout out to every viewer; I've definitely read all the well-written, appreciative feedback. It's awesome to hear these encouraging and interesting insights, especially the ones about how a story feels personal. This channel has been working continuously on revising the release schedule for the next videos, as a long term plan for the big picture is currently being constructed. Stay tuned for more! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ERRATA (important to read) 1. This video refers to needing to find singular vectors to "compute the Jacobian" but that's poorly worded; it actually means for calculations involving the Jacobian, such as "for J^T * J to compute the SVD and get editable directions". The Jacobian matrix, as stated in the paper, is computed via "a sum-pooled feature map of the bottleneck representation of H" to reduce the number of parameters to compute. 2. This video states that the SVD is used to compute both the Jacobian and the semantic directions. But the SVD is actually only used to obtain the semantic directions. To compute the SVD, in section 3.2 of a subsequent paper, the Power Method is used to compute the singular vectors without computing (M^T)(M). An updated version will fix this by stating that "dimensionality reduction" should be performed on J before multiplying with it; this was not done in the paper, so the video will take a different approach than it for the sake of explaining dimensionality reduction. This would fix the "circular issue" of needing the Jacobian J to compute J^T J to get the eigenvectors used to compute J.

I can just follow the narrative beats backwards to retrieve them much like a "memory palace," but implicitly created in my mind as a result of the way this video is constructed. Ingenious.

Ya lloré dos veces, y pienso volver a verlo durante todo el domingo para poder llorar más, porque esto es tan hermoso y tan bello... que no quiero dejar de verlo. Muchas gracias a toda la producción ❤

This is legitimately amazing. Fantastically unique concept with a wonderful execution. One of the most singular experiences I've had on youtube in a long, long while.

When people talk about matrices to me, they may as well be addressing a turnip or speaking Star-Trek techno-babbel. However this was still engaging and well-made.

This is amazing and should win awards. This is like Jon Bois meets 3blue1brown plus SCP. I feel like I just stumbled onto something I shouldn’t be watching (in a good way)

Oh no,I fell back into the weird yt corner again...

Welcome back 😈

this is AMAZING! what a cool way to merge analog horror and educational content! phenomenal work dude

One of the best videos on youtube i have ever seen. It is interesting on multiple level, from the analogies to Alice in Wonderland to the analogies between mathematical metods to compute images and dreams, not considering the philosophical interpretation of conscientiousness in AI. Loved the 60s style finale. Loved it

My favorite part is when Alice relied on her own courage to push herself forward when she lost communication with the doctor. She was in real danger of slipping further into chaos, but she listened to her intuition and faced her fears head on. Hiding from her trauma, which was like an incomplete structure of information, was her illness. Confronting it with full consciousness and following her inner guidance so that it became complete was the cure. Lovely and heartwarming. Subscribed and looking forward to more.

This is truly incredible work. As a mathematician, this made my soul smile. Congratulations - I think you're going to win.

aside from how insanely impressive this shit is, this has to be hands down the most niche video i’ve ever seen in my life. you are a very unique artist

This is REALLY cool. Incredible work here, thanks for making this.

An amazing concept, one of my favourite videos on this platform PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make more!!

Words cannot explain how amazed I am with the production and thought behind this video. It is absolutely surreal. Nothing has made me want to revisit linear algebra more.

I don't know how much I learned from this, but I was riveted the whole way through. Incredible work! Far and away my favorite of this year's SoME crop.

Honestly, I'm quite impressed with amount of thought and work that went into this film/video. I'll continue to await newer videos as I've always wanted to make stories centred around mathematical concepts and settings: this is the perfect blend and perhaps the niche I was looking for all along! Well done!

This is the most unique and creative thing I have seen in a long time. The story you've created is riveting and you make us want to follow the explanation for the sake of the young girl voice. I was paying attention in part because it was personal. I wanted to get it and I wanted her to get it. You've done an excellent job. Thank you!

This is one of the most unique and creative works of fiction I’ve ever stumbled upon. It’s a very unique presentation of existential horror. It gives great awe to the power of mathematics, disturbing wonders about the ethics of AI, and yet somehow is an accurate parallel to the mental healing process. If Alice’s human-like consciousness/traumas can be boiled down to equations, what does that say about ours?

One of the most creative and well-crafted videos I've seen so far. I hope your channel grows a lot in the future and you make more videos. Count on me as a new subscriber :)

This is one of the best creative and horror film i have seen in my entire life. Thank you so much

wow the first SoME video with a plot!! nice work !!

[This was going to go in the SoME3 voting feedback page, but apparently there's a character limit that I ran into!] I very much loved the format of this entry. Leaning harder into the entertainment half of "edutainment" is a direction that is sadly underexplored. But I guess there is a reason why it's not common to do it - it's hard. In this video it becomes difficult to follow the mathematical explanations, because you have to balance doing the explanation with staying in-character and having a story. Doing either is hard, but now you have to do both simultaneously. There are some terms that just are dropped on you that get half a sentence of explanation for, and then the video moves on, and we're just assumed to understand it perfectly (semantic space and latent space were just kind of just presented as "spaces that exist" for example). But even more, because the setup is essentially a teacher and a student, when the student "gets" something that we as the audience don't, it gets us even more mystified about what this thing that we don't understand is, or even just how she made that logical leap (which sometimes was indeed a leap, made by her remembering something she once learned in the past). You can also very much feel there's a script here that the characters are reading off of, which is making them make these logical leaps. On the storytelling side, one of the stronger points was when Alice has to explore and fix her mind all on her own, away from the teacher that we'd spent the whole video up to that point with. But then, we lose the teacher-student format which lent itself so well to acting as a bridge between education and storytelling. Now Alice has to figure out everything on her own (with the Eigenface acting as a loose guide rather than a teacher), and though that works narratively, now all those little logical leaps become even more obvious because there's not really a second person to be like "wait I didn't get that; did you mean XYZ?" And instead there're a lot "maybe if we do this" and "probably it'd be that" and "but then it has to be XYZ" - clearly intended to be discovery fiction, but there are holes as I said before, and it's made worse when the Eigenface confirms "yeah some of the things you said were true, and some of the things were morally true but not actually accurate" so you don't know if you're supposed to trust what Alice just said. But again, I don't want these criticisms to overshadow the fact that this is a really interesting format. I don't even like this sort of mild horror genre, but I do love the idea of presenting things from in-universe, and especially borrowing different genres (like "found footage horror") and combining it into a main genre ("edutainment"). You certainly have done better than I have in the past (my ideas for these sorts of thing never made it too far because this is such a difficult balance, and I just scrapped them).

Yes, I had the same reactions when I wrote the script. I aimed to tweak it more to make it clearer, but I made the video in around a month and by the time I was approaching the deadline, I just had the characters read from the explanation, and also didn't have time to be selective about the voices. The Alice and Eigenface convo is meant to be more of a "how does one do problem solving?" idea based on Polya's techniques that'll be refined in future vids. So I'm planning to do 2 types of videos for this channel: straightforward explanations of AI techniques, and a more experimental format that's meant for more entertainment purposes, and I'm playing around with some 3D visuals on what that's like. Maybe something like an ARG or video game concept involving the player needing to decipher an AI model anomaly while an AI avatar interacts with the player in real time, like talking to someone in a stream. Another heavy inspiration I forgot to mention was the Loab story. So some sort of fake documentary in the style of Nexpo is the aim. Overall I think this type of presentation will get refined over time if people work on it.

@@neoknowstic0 You could very easily use this video as your starting point for storytelling. We don't know what happened to Alice, or if they made it out okay. We also don't understand why the humans have AI-like tendencies and vice versa with the AIs. You could go to so many places with this concept, and make it difficult for the viewers to puzzle together. I'm looking forward to your future work if anything comes from these ideas, and maybe they'll string together in some way, shape, or form.

This is the most creative math video I’ve seen. Awesome job!

Please make more of this! I'm obsessed!

What a genuinely unique original idea, so much is supported by the imagination allowing you to make this with the tools available to everyone super cheep. This is one of those things I watch and wish I had thought of 😂. Well done.

Now this is what I call AI Art

Attention to detail here is amazing, literally this is so good

oh wow, this is such an amazing concept! and the execution is great

This is the second time I've visited this video, because it's just stuck in my head while I'm learning AI-related topics while I finish out my degree. So I just want to praise you for your awesome storytelling while increasing familiarity with ideas like latent space.

You hit all the keywords in my brain with that title

literally! Like this video was made for me 🗿

This is both fascinating and difficult to tell what to make of it. I don’t follow mathematics very closely, so I really had trouble getting into those parts, but the analogue horror elements were fantastic. The AI patient’s voice feels extremely expressive and real, and I was super intrigued to learn more about her and the old puppet show. I’m not even sure what purpose the math serves in this story, as they sometimes feel like long tangents that distract from a fascinating story, but I admit that might just be because I don’t really understand it. 😅

I really enjoyed this -- I could not look away. Both the story & the math appeal to me. Thank you!

I am speechless. The blend of mathematical and emotion was something completely new and unexpected. I was completely hooked until the end. Bravo!

i wish all my university lectures were like this, i would have paid more attention out of a mixture of fear and curiosity

Dude, I have like no idea at all about this ai stuff, but somehow fell here and didn't know wether this was a creepypasta, a programming, or a physics video. Reached the 10 minutes and started asking bing ai about all of it. Just amazing, keep enjoying this deep weird world, I have no idea at all about it and yet love it

dude somehow snuck in among us in an analog horror

This is something I'm genuinely doing research on right now and I'm so very happy to find this! Art really knows what reality is

Thanks for this. It feels rare to find a video that truly demand’s attention and is rewarding to pay attention to the whole way through. Strangely comforting.

*This video blows up my mind! It is so genius to show how AI can sense nightmares just like people, especially the treatment stage, it looked so awesome and unsettling. I watched this video without any stop due such an interest!*

wow, just wow. this was one of the videos of all time. great work

This made learning so much more engaging, I also like the mini recaps

I look forward to the day when this channel becomes a proper archive with dozens of high quality videos explaining advanced concepts.

2:32 This is really suspicious.

Tremendous, exceptional, absolutely superb in every way. Thank you for teaching the world and creating such wonderful content.

Praising content like this is my way of self-actualization. Thank you for giving me this platform. Ill be sure to share on reddit.

This is one of the greatest maths videos i have ever seen. A newly rising, influential topic of how neural networks are able to “learn”, creating AI. A teacher - student relationship to help us understand the topics as he student learns with us, and go through things more than once in an environment we are used to at school And finally an interesting, horrifying story that helps us stay entertained, with amazing audio and visual effects that have clearly had time taken to edit such excellent effects and a gripping plot Aced every aspect possible, Fantastic!

Wow, what a crazy unique presentation! I did appreciate the video more than maybe many others since I did am eigenface project myself, but I think it'd be hard to ignore a SoME entry with a plot! Also nice pun: "I'm just a projection" XD.

This is really, really impressive! Good work 👏

This is both genuine horrifying and interesting, there is a lot of talent in there. Good job mate, hope you can still uploading things like this :D
