"Although I'm no longer with you in person, my darling, I love you so much. I remember the day we met as clearly as if... You can now make purchases in Bitcoin; visit our storefront now... it were yesterday. The yellow dress you wore was so... Get 10% off the new Apple iPad. Say 'PADOFFER' after this memory..." #AI#dystopia
My two cents on how #AI will change our #work in the future. It will not make us better, it will reduce the quality of our work. Because people are lazy and AI is not that smart and creative yet. People will try to "outsource" their work to algorithms and accept the mediocre results.
Yay, I too got my 7-day suspension badge from Stack Overflow from adding an #LLM#AI disclaimer back after it was first reverted to my four (4) answers!
A study that confirms what I’ve been suspecting for a while: fine-tuning a #LLM with new knowledge increases its tendency to hallucinate.
If the new knowledge wasn’t provided in the original training set, then the model has to shift its weights from their previous optimal state to a new state that has to accommodate both the previous and new knowledge - and it may not necessarily be optimal.
Without a new validation round against the whole previous cross-validation and test sets, that’s just likely to increase the chances for the model to go off the tangent.
"Consumer AI is just the new search" anecdote: [1/3]
Casual non-techy coworkers yesterday were talking about using excel reports to analyze data & turns out two of the people use #ChatGPT to know how to do something in excel.
So, before this #AI stuff, if you were like, "how do I do X in Excel" in google, you'd get a bunch of hits and then have to wade through the results to see which link was actually what you were looking for, then test out if their solution works.
“Why is it that so many companies that rely on monetizing the data of their users seem to be extremely hot on AI? If you ask Signal president Meredith Whittaker (and I did), she’ll tell you it’s simply because “AI is a surveillance technology.””
New on the OpenCV blog, an OpenCV 5 development progress update from the core team. Recent work includes new samples, ONNX improvements, documentation improvements, HAL and G-API work, and a lot more.
This is anecdotal, but I now personally know two employees of #AI-related companies whose valuations have imploded within the past month, and they are now looking to bail. One company lost 73% of their (publicly traded) value in a month. The other one is a startup whose founder (according to my friend) has “finally snapped”, and the company is now in freefall.
