(1) methods to identify and
(2) measure AI harms?

Self-plugs are always welcomed. Bonus points if papers include ways to "quantify" said harms.

I believe many execs (& many of their enablers) are evil & diabolical, & they only care about their bottom line, esp. , , ...:

"Paul Graham wrote an essay in 2010 about how the best founders are naughty because they break the rules.

Then he has an interesting anecdote about Sam Altman...

Interesting lens through which to view why OpenAI keeps showing up in the news for doing obviously bad things."

Interesting… notification in Facebook telling me I can object to my data being used to improve AI at Facebook and that if my objection is honoured then that will be the case going forward.

I submitted the form and just got an email saying they will honour my objection.

I see all sorts of blogs and marketing materials claiming things are "open source" because they used llama somewhere. Please do not take these claims at face value.

Just had to convince an #ai chatbot to let me speak to a human for my company's internal corporate it support desk.

It was, predictably, useless, just like every other automated support system I've ever interacted with.

But I earnestly wonder how much of that is because I, and people like me, independently troubleshoot and research before we try to bother a human, so we're just hitting the filtering function for people who refuse the read the instructions.

First and foremost, we had more than 20 wonderful participants at , ranging from Bachelor- to - level all modelling systems. Everyone had the chance to present their projects and methods and we had vivid question+discussion rounds afterwards. Although seems like a niche group already, we heard about a bandwidth of methods including mechanistic (-evo)-models, , and vegeation models, network models, , and much more.

so much of the promise of generative AI as it is currently constituted, is driven by rote entitlement.

Very nice analysis by Brian Merchant ( @brianmerchant ) here: https://www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/why-is-sam-altman-so-obsessed-with

He puts into clear terms what had previously been an unarticulated, creeping suspicion I had about . Clearly there are many angles from which to come at what's going on with , but I appreciate this one quite a bit.

Earlier this week, Scarlett Johansson released a statement that said she had been approached by OpenAI’s founder Sam Altman to voice a ChatGPT persona. The actress, who famously voiced an AI assistant in the 2013 film "Her," she said no, but OpenAI went ahead and released "Sky" anyway — a chatbot which Johansson herself stated sounded “eerily similar” to her.

The actress has hired legal counsel and demanded an explanation, but could she take it further and does she have a case? @WIRED has spoken to lawyers to find out how this could all play out in court.

The student cofounders of an AI studying tool that won them a $10,000 entrepreneurship prize from Emory University have been suspended, for building exactly what the school had given them money to build.

The school’s Honor Council claimed the AI tool, which helps students to generate revision flashcards and practice tests from course materials, “could be used for cheating,” and that it had been connected to a software platform used by the university without permission — even though this feature had been mentioned in the competition pitch. @404mediaco has more.

Physicists developed a new method to prepare quantum operations on a given quantum computer using a machine learning generative model to find the appropriate sequence of quantum gates to execute a quantum operation. The study, recently published in Nature Machine Intelligence, marks a significant step forward in unleashing the full extent of quantum computing.

I have an ominous sense of foreboding about the current direction of artificial intelligence in relation to civilian and consumer applications.

I am also disturbed by the hostile defensiveness and arrogance of it's current proponents.

Letting a bunch of venture capitalists, hedge-funders, tech bros, and libertarians profit from under-regulated use is dangerous.

IMO, AI should only be used for scientific research purposes for mapping genomes, modeling climate, etc.

my take on the bubble — there will definitely be some sort of decline at some point, but it’s not going to be a bubble pop as widely predicted. ML has been generally growing for 10 straight years, at an accelerating pace, also for 10 straight years. to predict a bubble pop is to ignore a whole lot of data, including the idea of AI is basically the culmination of computing in general, since its inception. it’s quite a different case from blockchain.
