Soon after OpenAI released #GPT-4o on Monday, May 13, some Chinese speakers started to notice that something seemed off about this newest version of the chatbot: the tokens it uses to parse text were full of spam and porn phrases. The problem, which is likely due to inadequate data cleaning, could lead to hallucinations, poor performance, and misuse. #AI#tech
Modern #AI text generators create randomized output with no prior planning. They resist to be quality-checked by tools and processes established in the software industry.
Given this, the results are amazing. However, companies are selling the idea that these assistants will do quality checking themselves soon™.
This is mass delusion. But hey, the perks for managers/investors are worthwhile 🤷.
"Cox said that Emu can make “really amazing quality images” thanks to “Instagram being the data set that was used to train it” which he described as “one of the great repositories of incredible imagery.”"
This is a great reason for people to switch over to alternatives like #Pixelfed
Excellent piece in #NoemaMagazine by Professor @ShannonVallor of #UniEdinburgh on the moral and experiential poverty of #AI - and what it means for us if we reduce the meaning of "human" to "producer of economic value".
A nuanced, thought-provoking and beautiful piece that argues for us to restore humanity to discussions of AI.
It provides ways to cut through the current hype cycle of #AGI and "super-human" AI, and leaves us with the fundamental question - "what does it mean to be human?".
I read it while brunching on scrambled eggs, buttered toast and hot coffee while outside on the patio, enjoying the late autumn sunshine - and I thoroughly recommend you do the same.
🇪🇺 EU Approves Historic AI Act: Pioneering Comprehensive AI Regulation | vcsi.org
"One of the key aspects of the AI Act is the enforcement mechanism, which includes substantial penalties for non-compliance. The EU Commission is vested with the authority to impose fines of up to €35 million ($38 million) or 7% of a company’s annual global revenue, whichever is higher"
Had a chat with various MOLE* chat demos over the last few weeks. I'll be more impressed when they can run on our personal devices with no dependence on remote servers ("the cloud"). But as far as most people are concerned, we now live in the world with talking computers that can understand human speech and follow our instructions. Like in 90s Star Trek or before that, Star Wars and Blakes 7.
Ich bekenne mich, liebe #CDU. Ich alleine habe mit einem Shell Script auf meinem Raspberry Pi und einer von mir programmierten #AI die ganzen Umfragen von euch, t-Online und der BILD zu eurem Thema #Verbrennerverbot manipuliert. Ohne kriminelle Energie. Einfach nur weil ich es kann. #SarcasmButOnlyHalf
Google is taking “swift action” to remove some of the bizarre AI-generated answers appearing at the top of its search pages. “A company once known for being at the cutting edge and shipping high-quality stuff is now known for low-quality output that’s getting meme’d,” one AI founder, who wished to remain anonymous, said.

I haven't worried about #ai taking over the world but it just occurred to me that some countries elect truly stupid leaders, so perhaps it'll just get elected.
The hilarious thing about Microsoft going all in on AI with #CoPilot and #Recall, they threw Intel and AMD under the bus. The whole last year of "AI PCs" won't get features like Recall.
The consumer reaction to Recall has been overwhelmingly negative, but all these companies are afraid of shareholders and investors wanting more AI hype to make stock prices look good.
But #AMD and #Intel have all these chips made that are falling in price fast.
You can find some CRAZY deals on computers right now that WONT run Recall, but are over-kill powerful for home systems.
Mini PC's used to sell chips that were two or three years old. This Geekom is using AMD's current laptop chip, with 32GB of RAM, and 2TB of storage for $899!
It's a REAL good time to shop a NON Recall compatible PC.

I asked ChatGPT another #AI BS engine to calculate Google’s BS engine’s failure cost and it came up with about $10.4 billion. Is that accurate who knows? Hilarious ? 💯
Cost calc below from ChatGPT
“Total Estimated Financial Impact:
• Ad Revenue Loss: $2 billion
• Increased Operational Costs: $300 million
• Legal and Regulatory Costs: $600 million
• Brand Damage: $7.5 billion
Total Estimated Loss: $2 billion + $300 million + $600 million + $7.5 billion = $10.4 billion”
Hello Mastodon, I know that a lot of you discuss the high environmental cost (such as energy use and water use) of AI and I hope that some of you could reply with authoritative publications/links regarding this problem! I want to try to convince an environmental science colleague #climatechange#AI#chatgpt#energy#technology#machinelearning#llm
"It’s telling that the #AI advisory council is composed entirely of businesspeople and entrepreneurs, not ethicists or anyone with an academic or deep research background..."
