Turn down the bass setting for the audio system, that should do it, no need to refill the blinker reservoir it refills itself from the headlight reservoir.
Our sushi isn’t always bad just sometimes. Next week we get distributor 2.0 with more & better fish so it will be amazing. It will be so good you can’t imagine eating other food. But…we need special rules to help us make the most perfect sushi & we totally shouldn’t get in trouble for food poisoning if it happens. Also we may take fish we didn’t pay for, but that’s ok because our sushi will be amazing! You will eat our sushi. All food is soon sushi.
Mourners can now speak to an #AI version of the dead. But will that help with grief? Selina Sykes reports. FRANCE24's Monte Francis speaks to Tomasz Hollanek, Research Fellow at the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence, University of Cambridge about the benefits, risks and future developments of AI clones. #death#bereavement#mentalhealth#tech
Is anyone playing with NPU's for local #AI ... stuff? I can't call it programming, that feels wrong.
So what do you think of this toy made for RaspberryPi5? It's an AI accelerator that's about 4x slower than AMD Ryzen NPU's, but as usual with RPi it's an affordable starting point if you wish to fool-around with local AI models.
@solarisfire ah, I see. Maybe desktop APU’s will get it, but OK I will upgrade my GPU some day for sure. Right now there is no need, it’s plenty fast for my games.
Niedługo zamiast rozpoznawać schody i przejścia dla pieszych, będziemy oceniać na ile cytat z sieci jest trollingiem, żartem a na ile prawdziwą informacją.
Looking back on #emfcamp, I don't know if anyone else noticed, but as far as I could see there were no LLM or GenAI demos, and I didn't have any conversations about AI/ML with anyone.
Actually, I take it back, there was a really cool video GenAI in the Null Sector. But still...
@mkarliner I had one conversation about it and it was with a blind guy who was talking about the secondary technologies spawned out of it becoming life changing for people living with vision impairment, which was very cool and the one side of the explosion in ML tech I'm super hyped about.
#AI#GenerativeAI#OpenAI#BigTech: "When it comes to AI, the best defence is not to simply wrap ourselves in a protective legislative cocoon and demand another tough new law to preempt or repel every risk or act of harm.
Rather, it is about determining who has the power.
If we are going to embrace AI, let’s do so as active participants, not passive subjects. Let’s embed the notion of shared benefits with strong industrial guardrails. Let’s get AI out of the IT department and onto the shop floor. And let’s demand those driving the introduction of this technology do so with us, not to us; shaped by us, not shaping us; augmenting our labour, not automating it.
The lesson of the social media revolution has been that technology is neither innately good nor bad. What seemed like a positive tool to connect people on an open platform has become a threat to our collective wellbeing because of the underlying business model.
Approaching AI with this critical mindset, rather than naively embracing progress as a self-evident good, is the first step.
Thanks to scholars like Acemoglu and Johnson, we now have an economic argument to match the moral one: the adaptation of new technology can make us all richer and happier if we are given the chance to collectively design it and control it."
“Humans are a social species down to our core; the more modern life erodes our opportunities for actual human companionship — whether it’s by interposing technology as an intermediary into every interaction, or sucking up all our time with the capitalist/consumerist grind — the more desperate we’ll become for friendly-sounding volleyball substitutes.”
“Here’s the paradox: even while the language fluency fools us into imagining these chatbots are ‘persons’, we simultaneously place far more trust in their accuracy than we would with any real human. That’s because the fact that we still know it’s a computer activates another, more modern rule of thumb: that computer-generated information is accurate and trustworthy.”
It’s a brilliant essay; I highly recommend you take the time to read it.
and there are so fucking many things wrong with it
one of the most amazingly wrong things is that... they're already throwing "ai" bullshit at these screencaps they're doing every five seconds, right? that's what does the OCR and also does the LLM-driven description for the search functionality later
and yet no one
NO. ONE.
thought to tell it
"and don't save screens with the word 'password' on them."
YOU COULD DO THIS WITH GREP, YOU STUPID FUCKS, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?! IT'S NOT HARD!
@joncruz yes but those are localisation issues which have been solved already for decades by a company the size of Microsoft, and I say that from experience of having been a dev there.
("grep" was hyperbole, not a serious suggestion. As I said, they're already using LLM shit upon which the entire feature depends. if their LLM can't find it to exclude it, then their LLM won't be able to find it to store it in plain text, either.)
I’ve been reluctant to accept the premise that CEOs are prime jobs for replacement by AI, but this CEO just up and said he’s directly replaceable by #AI so 🤷 https://mastodon.social/@wklj/112555818429417630
@drahardja@wklj Either that or he just underbused not only his entire product line but teleconferencing in general and even meetings in general. I like to think this is what he is doing because he’d be right.
@thomasapowell he is saving everyone. Ai clone talks to Ai clone and Ai notetaker takes the notes. And everyone can actually get work done while not having to sit through unnecessary meetings
@vicash absolutely! Then AI can forward the meeting notes to us & we can use AI to summarize it. Next up AI will convert those notes into issues. Then we will have AI read the issues & write the code & schedule the next meeting - the SWE AI circle of life! 🤪
Seriously tho pointless meetings being attended & summarized misses the bigger point of why we have such meetings? If we have such problems it is a symptom of much bigger problems AI can’t solve though it can “check the corporate boxes”!😎
"Why spend so much money and energy on a technology that gets 1 out of every 5 answers wrong?"
Because we spent decades building, by-hand, software that still can't get any answers right. If #AI can get 4 out of 5 with minimal prior configuration, we'll fucking take it.
@LouisIngenthron I'm a "ringer" in that I'm a decades-long edtech advocate. My take is that the AI rush has created a huge mess.
What we as "consumers" do seems to matter far less than what whole institutions do. Our campus disabled the default otter.ai in Zoom when our president & provost got "surprised" in an academic senate meeting, for example.
That's what it took. They're in fact pro-AI, but anti getting surprised with an AI record of their comments. I wonder what they think of Recall.
@harmonygritz Yep. I read recently (and this rang very true) that executives thinking about adding AI aren't really worried about hackers... but they are worried about legal threats.
Framing the issue in terms of increased legal liability (which most uses of AI in commerce open a company up to) is one of the quickest ways to get them off the slapdash-AI-trend train.
It’s difficult to imagine a future without #AI – but what exactly should it look like? Our #WIConf24 panel w/ @SandraWachter@zephoria, Brent Mittelstadt, Jeremias Adams-Prassl, and Philip Hacker (@ens) explores ethical, environmental, and social implications of AI, in order to integrate sustainable practices into its development and deployment.
