"A 61-year-old man is suing Macy’s and the parent company of Sunglass Hut over the stores’ alleged use of a facial recognition system that misidentified him as the culprit behind an armed robbery and led to his wrongful arrest. While in jail, he was beaten and raped, according to his suit."
"Police and private companies should 'immediately stop' the use of facial recognition surveillance, says a group of politicians and privacy campaigners. They have raised concerns around human rights, potential for discrimination and 'the lack of a democratic mandate. It comes after the government announced plans for police to access passport photos to help catch criminals."
"New York state banned the use of facial recognition technology in schools Wednesday, following a report that concluded the risks to student privacy and civil rights outweigh potential security benefits."
I say, this made me laugh; I'd just been mulling over how #LLM#inference models were really just #compilers, and all the #data that went into them was the #code.
If you are curious about AI but don't have a fancy PC or graphics card, I forked and modified this repo to run a small open source #LLM from #Mozilla. It uses a bunch of great libraries and the CPU for #inference.
All you need is 8 GB ram, tested on #ubuntu. Your mileage may vary on other OSs.
“You can take pretty much any #LargeLanguageModel you want and put it in this and it will inference like crazy.
The #inference cost of large language models will drop significantly.”
Time for our #introduction !
We are a group of researchers in #archaeology at #CambridgeUniversity (something called #CDAL ). We are challenging scientists from every fields & every level to infer what happened in an artificial world where a group of #Farmers replaced a group of #HunterGatherers . Its a game, open to anyone, using any #inference method as long as we can re-run the analysis ourself ( #OpenSource tools only, we won't pay a matlab licence to re-run your code 🙃 )
