"AI can provide millions of students with support to complete secondary education, fill an additional 3.3 million jobs, and, more urgently, help us tackle the spread and the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Along with multiple advantages, these technologies also generate downside risks and challenges, derived from malicious use of technology or deepening inequalities and divides."
“There is a world in which generative #AI, as a powerful predictive research tool and a performer of tedious tasks, could indeed be marshalled to benefit humanity, other species and our shared home. But for that to happen, these technologies would need to be deployed inside a vastly different economic and social order than our own” - Naomi Klein
A self-improving AI-based chatbot library that is completely platform-agnostic. Edubot intuitively jumps into conversations to give advice, make jokes, and add to the discussion. Its personality can be completely customised to suit the tone of different rooms. openedtech/edubot https://github.com/openedtech/edubot#EdTech#AI#Edutooter@edutooters@rickweinberg
I am concerned. Not about Large Language Models (LLM)s doing me out of a job, but about the people who make money out of them not making their User Interfaces (UI)s accessible.
The amount of money CEOs are willing to invest in an AI that constantly screws up at its job with the promise it will get better is nowhere the amount of money they'd be willing to invest in an employee who constantly screws up while promising they'll get better.
and what have the same galaxy-brain consultants got to say about blockchain?

Teachers teaching older students (secondary school and above) face major challenges regarding the internet in general – and generated AI texts in particular. How well do plugins like #Draftback for #GoogleChrome work to at least identify risky behavior in students?
If there isn't an app that distorts your selfies a tiny little bit (just enough to confuse the face recognition algorithm), can somebody please develop one?
Just like the tools that remofe metadata from pictures before uploading...
The best antisurveillance is probably to flood the web with distorted portraits of yourself.
I have to admit that my mother gave me this idea. She doesn't even know how to use properly her smartphone but is my countersurveillance hero:
She gets customer cards from every supermarket, then swaps them with all kind of other people to prank their algorithms of customer preferences 🤣
I am trying to research about #stoicism, now I am reading book about it.
And what if we will have AI, which was based on some philosophical principles 🤔. So that a person can come to this AI with a question or a problem, and it answered.
I tried to ask a few questions chat-gpt and some of them was not bad. It looks like it “read” some basics about stoicism but it may be not enough for something more then simple questions about control.
Maybe someday we will have this digital teacher based on the teachings of Epictetus, Seneca and other thinkers.
A question that comes up now is: "my phone/computer did x, is that AI?"
I always want to answer it depends how you define #AI. It’s not a hard line in the sand, it's a slow evolution. For a while we've had machines doing things that no human could ever match. Think Photoshop, Google, or Siri. Does ChatGPT sounding more convincingly human make it AI?
It's still not imaginative, sentient, or able to think on its own. In my view, calling it artificial intelligence is doing ourselves a disservice.
Ever since i started including alt texts to all media posted on #Mastodon and #Pixelfed, i've never stopped doing it, but i'd be lying if i didn't say it had added quite a huge friction to me posting here if a photo/video is involved. It'd be great if there was a local/client-based feature that uses #AI to draft alt texts for u which u then simply need to adjust/improve, that'd be really cool. sort of like @IceCubesApp's feature of hashtagging keywords on ur post automatically.
"It’s increasingly looking like this may be one of the most hilariously inappropriate applications of AI that we’ve seen yet." I am riveted by the extensive documentation of how ChatGPT-powered Bing is now completely unhinged. @simon has chronicled it beautifully here: https://simonwillison.net/2023/Feb/15/bing/
@ShadSterling
Very interesting. I wasn't aware of these engineering limitations.
What if an #AI remote-controlled these #robots? (a.i. a lot more parallel computing power .)
E.g. I think analysiert millions of, say, street-accident reports, there aren't infinite possibilities of "disruptions".
