On june 5th, @yannis will show how to use #openai's GPT-4 and Embedding APIs to implement a semantic search system in #rubyonrails using the pg_vector #PostgreSQL extension and the neighbor gem.
🥗 He will illustrate this with concrete examples from MyFoodRepo, the application he is currently working on.
#UX#UserExperience#OpenAI#AI#GPT4o#GenerativeAI: "It is unethical to slap an interface, which convincingly simulates 100% confidence, onto a product which is anything less than 100% accurate, let alone a product that CTO, Mira Murati, calls “pretty good”.
No exceptions; no “it will get better”. If the house doesn’t have a roof, don’t paint the walls.
This does not mean that reduction or removal of complexity is inherently deceitful, but it does mean that the complexity which informs a person, not how, but why something works the way it does can be an important factor in them deciding to use it.
Nothing could make this more evident than the crypto/web3 community’s obsession with “mass adoption” which they generally resolve to being a UX problem. They know that the complexity of crypto is intimidating to non-technical people (crimes and scams aside) so they relentlessly try to remove as much of the complexity as possible.
The unfortunate thing about removing complexity is that you never remove it, but rather, you move it to another place. The other place is always what crypto people like to call a “trusted third party” the very thing that Bitcoin, was created to eliminate."
#AI#GenerativeAI#OpenAI#BigTech: "For years now, OpenAI told everyone that these were all secondary concerns — that its deeper ambition was something nobler, and more public-spirited. But since Altman’s return, the company has been telling a different story: a story about winning at all costs.
And why bother with superalignment, when there’s winning to do?
Why bother getting actresses’ permission, when the right numbers are all still going up?"
“(Sam A) felt that by my voicing the system, I could bridge the gap between tech companies and creatives... He said he felt that my voice would be comforting to people”
Johansson
Translation:
Trojan Hoarse Voice, hired for main assault, flees the stable.
So… Big Tech is allowed to blatantly steal the work, styles and therewith the job opportunities of thousands of artists and writers without being reprimanded, but it takes similarity to the voice of a famous actor to spark public outrage about AI. 🤔
OpenAI is jumping from scandal to scandal. But yeah sure, let’s use their products, we can safely and blindly trust them, what can go wrong?
Please wake up. All this is absurd.
OpenAI seems to be in a bubble where they think they can do what they want without consequences. They had been trying to get Scarlet Johansson to agree to voice a ChatGPT bot for a year. She said no. They used a very similar voice anyway. Cue lawyers and weaselly backtracking. A must-read from Casey Newton. #OpenAI#LLMhttps://www.platformer.news/open-ai-scarlett-johansson-her-voice-sam-altman/
Then they copy a woman‘s voice against her explicit wishes, because the CEO loves her performance in a movie.
Yeah, #AISafety is going great. The abusive ethics, the sexism and disrespect are inside the fucking house. These people can‘t train a responsible being if they even made an intelligent being.
This is a litmus test for the entire academic AI safety bubble. And I can guess how many will respond to this, as well. They won‘t.
Same Sam Altman that Biden tapped for the national AI safety and security board. Said several times a while back that decision was a mistake. Maybe she will sue, seems to be in the right here.
