"Embrace AI or be left behind" is a condescending and heartless ultimatum. A false dichotomy that reeks of debunked social darwinist horse-fuckery.

Tech should adapt to people's needs.

Not the reverse.

@shiri @mmby @Daojoan I haven’t seen any reason to be optimistic about . Under all I see are dead arts, replaced jobs, and the loss of humanity. I think it’s naive to believe otherwise.

That’s not even getting into its impact on

"I haven’t seen any reason to be optimistic about #ai."

How about the possibility that it could make much higher quality legal, medical, etc. advice available to people who cannot currently afford it?

That it gives people new artistic tools?

Good news for folks who enjoy AI embarrassing itself with nonsensical answers!

"Well, according to an interview at The Verge with Google CEO Sundar Pichai published earlier this week, just before criticism of the outputs really took off, these "hallucinations" are an "inherent feature" of AI large language models (LLM), which is what drives AI Overviews, and this feature "is still an unsolved problem.""

Is anyone collecting examples of ? Because here is a particularly pernicious one.

This appeared in my YouTube suggestions as a song from Lana Del Rey's hotly anticipated Lasso album. But ut it's AI music, backed up with dozens of bot comments saying it's great.

It's not great. The voice, lyrics, melody and production are a horrible empty imitation of LDR as is the album 'photo'. It's a glimpse into how meaningless collective culture could become.

In this week’s roundup, the couple who’ve made themselves the face of pronatalism keep their kids in a freezing home (they say by choice) and slap them to teach them right from wrong because they saw tigers paw their cubs in the wild.

Plus, Google’s AI fail, Kenyan workers write letter to Joe Biden, and more!

Zmiany algorytmów Google

W wielu miejscach ludzie narzekają, że Google zmieniło algorytmy, ich strony spadły w rankingu, choć stosowali się do zaleceń Google, a biznes upada. To oczywiście smutne, tylko nie do końca widzę w tym winę Google. Oparcie biznesu o jednego partnera było świadomą decyzją. Stosowanie się do zaleceń Google w sprawach SEO nigdy nie dawało gwarancji, że zawsze będzie

KI generiert kein Wissen, sondern setzt gemäss voreingestellten Parametern und Algorithmen Wörter in eine in erster Linie grammatikalisch richtige Abfolge - in neuer Zusammensetzung.

Was darüber hinausgeht, bleibt am verfügbaren Datensatz an Informationen hängen. Sind die Informationen (aka der Datensatz) Müll, dann gibt KI grammatikalisch korrekten Müll in anderer Zusammensetzung wieder.

Soon after OpenAI released -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.

Modern 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 🤷.

The Trilemma: or why AI won't be as revolutionary as we expect.

We are in the midst of an AI revolution... or are we? As business leaders around the world scramble to integrate AI into their products and business practices, the cracks are beginning to emerge. We've seen GPT4 fail at basic reasoning, Google's AI search telling people to jump from a bridge, Microsoft's copilot inventing quotes from Vladimir Putin, and recidivism algorithms that continue to send the wrong people to prison.

Why does this remind me of an old way to rise in the ranks of search engines?

It was possible to influence search engines by having text that's colored the same as the background color in the early days of automatic indexing webpages.

If this is true, then history is repeating.

I think one of the biggest fears people have about AI is that it isn't perfect as assumed, but that, like us humans, it takes the given information, assumes the most likely outcome, and presents it plausibly.

: "In this conversation, we discuss how Herndon collaborated with a human chorus and her “A.I. baby,” Spawn, on “PROTO”; how A.I. voice imitators grew out of electronic music and other musical genres; why Herndon prefers the term “collective intelligence” to “artificial intelligence”; why an “opt-in” model could help us retain more control of our work as A.I. trawls the internet for data; and much more."

Someone needs to tell stock photography websites that 'photography' means something... take a hint Shutterstock, it's right in your name.

generated images are not photos - and allowing me to 'exclude AI images' is pretty pointless if so many of these images are not labelled as such.
