"I console myself with the normal excuse: If I hadn’t done it, somebody else would have," said Hinton, who had been employed by Google for more than a decade. "It is hard to see how you can prevent the bad actors from using it for bad things."
#AI pioneer and Turing Award winner Geoffrey Hinton quit #Google and is now speaking about the dangers of his life’s work. Right now his biggest concern seems to be #disinformation, as people will “not be able to know what is true anymore.” On the companies involved in developing this technology, he said, “I don’t think they should scale this up more until they have understood whether they can control it.” https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/01/technology/ai-google-chatbot-engineer-quits-hinton.html
The first segment is live! It was great to chat with @rustybrick in Princeton about several important SEO topics. This is part one covering AI content, Bing Chat, Bard, publisher impact, citations, and more. There are several more videos that will be released, but you can check out part one today. :)
Tech giants #Apple, #Microsoft, and #Google each fixed major #security flaws in April, many of which were already being used in real-life attacks. Here’s everything you need to know about the patches released in April. https://tchlp.com/41O7tGj
I keep getting motorcycle POV police getaway videos in my #YouTube#shorts feed and I keep reporting them for containing dangerous acts. Wtf is wrong with people. #report#contentmoderation
#Tiktok and #ShortVideo content is a cancer regarding this. People are just rrying to go viral and do the same stupid stuff over-and-over and just hope they get the next trend. Whether it is to get others to drink tidepods orbto steal a Hyundai belinging to someone just as a joke.
But companies like #Meta, #Google, #Youtube, #Instagram, and #Tiktok are exploiting this because they are generating clicks, and they can show people ads. This is why they don't moderate these things.
The messed-up thing is that they then moderate and remove legit creators for stupid reasons and false copyright claims.
Social media is broken because it now has longer existed. It is just a bunch of advertisement companies with extra steps.
Yesterday, unfortunately, my main #smartphone was stolen. #Essen-#HBF, when picking up the daughter....
Should someone be offered a #Google#Pixel6a, with #GrapehenOS and small #Linux#Penguin sticker (hard to get off), please report. This should be my beloved #Phone.
Thanks.
Transferred two numbers yesterday, from Cricket. The process was much easier and quicker then I thought. So that was great. Hoping to transfer the other two lines this evening, from Mint.
Did a speed test at a rural park near me and got speeds of 393.8Mbps⬇️ & 41.5Mbps⬆️
I really don’t understand why #Google or #Meta or #Amazon or #Microsoft or #Netflix or especially #Apple haven’t spun out an ultra reliable affordable notification network just for government and public service announcements. Owning that market and being a good steward of it would be such a huge public benefit and PR boost.
Many iOS users report losing their 2FA codes after updating their Google Authenticator app. Meanwhile, Android users took to Google Play reviews to complain about the lack of end-to-end encryption.
What is the state of notifications on #matrix#element (android) without #google push service? I mean by that havin own matrix server and no google play service on the phone (only frdoid, no microg)
Noniin ihmiset. Kertokaapas mulle, mikä juttu tämä #nachosalaatti on? :thinking_hard:
Pyysin #Google'a listaamaan #Tampere'en keskustan alueella olevista vaatekaupoista ja sain kyllä listan, mutta tuo listan otsikko on erittäin hämmentävä.
#Google has obtained a court order in the US to disrupt the distribution of the information-stealing #malware CryptBot that has infected over 670,000 computers.
Is your primary e-mail account #gmail? As in the e-mail account we would use to communicate, so not necessarily your job related e-mail. Feel free to share widely.
@vfrmedia@jwildeboer I not only refuse to patronize #Google & #Microsoft; I also refuse to send #email to #gmail & #outlook recipients. I go as far as an MX lookup in case their vanity address points to the server of a surveillance capitalist. It’s not perfect though b/c sometimes forwarding masks the role of google & ms. I also do not share my email address w/such users. So I rarely #email anymore.
Not only do they have one of the most private search engines, it is now fully independent. Search engines not tied to either Google or Bing crawlers are good for the web in general. 👍
