The #technology miracle of “#AI” is that the words generated actually form sequences which humans process as plausible formulations of sentences in language we know.
When I hear about #AI "augmenting" human labor rather than replacing it, I think about my local McDonald's experiment with an automated voice system taking drive-thru orders. Whenever it got something wrong, a human stepped in to take over.
But here's the thing: the human always took over INSTANTLY, with no need to get up to speed on what was happening. Meaning their job went from “talk to the customer" to “listen to the computer talk to the customer.”
🤖 NetBSD’s New Policy: No Place for AI-Created Code
— @linuxiac
“New development policy: code generated by a large language model or similar technology (e.g. ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot) is presumed to be tainted (i.e. of unclear copyright, not fitting NetBSD’s licensing goals) and cannot be committed to NetBSD.”
Overheard quite an elderly couple debating #AI in a beautiful spot in the #PentlandHills near #Edinburgh. He was all in on the successor species nonsense and she could see right through it. They walked off still talking about it.
Ciekawa propozycja powszechnych szkoleń oraz urlopów szkoleniowych finansowanych przez państwo. Tutaj w kontekście AI, ale nie miałoby to być ograniczone do tego tematu, bo każdy pracownik wybierałby tematy samodzielnie.
#AI#GenerativeAI#AIHype#AGI: "The reality is that no matter how much OpenAI, Google, and the rest of the heavy hitters in Silicon Valley might want to continue the illusion that generative AI represents a transformative moment in the history of digital technology, the truth is that their fantasy is getting increasingly difficult to maintain. The valuations of AI companies are coming down from their highs and major cloud providers are tamping down the expectations of their clients for what AI tools will actually deliver. That’s in part because the chatbots are still making a ton of mistakes in the answers they give to users, including during Google’s I/O keynote. Companies also still haven’t figured out how they’re going to make money off all this expensive tech, even as the resource demands are escalating so much their climate commitments are getting thrown out the window."
Am I the only one skeptical about modern developers focusing so much on making AI look and sound like humans? Is it god’s syndrome “create them to reflect their image” kind of thing? Because what I need from AI as an individual is do the mundane tasks and be recognizable. I don’t need it to be able to impersonate a virtual friend or anything.
On 7-8 May in #Washington DC, the city’s biggest convention hall welcomed #America’s #military industrial complex, its top #technology companies and its most outspoken justifiers of #warcrimes. Of course, that’s not how they would describe it
It was the inaugural “AI Expo for National Competitiveness”, whose lead sponsor was #Palantir, who are currently, supplying some of its #AI products to the #Israel#Defense Forces
