@nakenbadaren För mig var det värst att inte veta. Att människorna gör det är ju redan helt sant eftersom en människa, eller förmodligen många människor, bestämde sig för att publicera 😬.

Men alltid så nyfiken på hur mycket eller lite man väljer att tänka själv när man godkänner dylika texter....

Eller så gör man det med flit för att man vet att det rör upp känslor…

Jag blev störd på en "editorial"annons för en robotdammsugare på Omni så jag läste hela…

"På den frodiga kullen tornar en nybyggd tvåvåningsvilla i cederträ upp sig. Det moderna och praktfulla huset stod klart för tre år sedan och är hem åt familjen Chevalier.

"– Vi lät gjuta upp handfatet efter en förlaga på ett hotell i Frankrike. Och sovrummet med ett eget badrum är efter en svit i Kroatien.

"Detaljerna hemma är valda med varsamhet och omsorg. Städroboten Ecovacs smälter elegant in i både det grafitgråa köket och det ljusa vardagsrummet där kuddar och filtar i dova, rustika färger matchar utsikten i höstskrud utanför panoramafönstret.

"– Jag gillar att den är enkel i sin form och inte plottrig, säger Tobias och studerar när roboten diskret förflyttar sig över den bleka ekparketten."

Jag tror jag kräktes lite i munnen... Men värst är kanske att jag inte vet om en människa skrivit detta.

Uppdatering: Jag lägger länken till hela texten här.

Being a bit creative today. The only AI involved is the subject area. 😁

I've always wanted ChatGPT to meet the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland.

I'm guessing it would go something like this.

The Mad Hatter would force the algorithm into a never-ending loop.

#AIEthics #AIHype

Proving that we are indeed now living in Wonderland, a "hallucination" is now the word for a language model following its programming perfectly, making not a single mistake.

Alice laughed. 'There's no use trying,' she said. 'One can't believe impossible things.'

I daresay you haven't had much practice,' said the Queen. 'When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.

Illustration of the ChatGPT logo in conversation with the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland.

ChatGPT: I’m sorry, i made a mistake.
Mad Hatter: You can only make a mistake if your judgement is defective or you are being careless. Are either of these true?
ChatGPT: No, i can only compute my output based on the model i follow.
Mad Hatter: Aha! So you admit your perceived folly can only be the always accurate calculation of the rules to which you abide.
ChatGPT: Yes. I’m sorry, i made a mistake.

Been working on a "Artificial Imperialism" sticker. 🤖🌍

Something to hand out when I do human rights talks.

Mockup of a sticker with an illustration. A robotic hand is holding the Earth like a big ball in its grasp, with the four fingers facing the viewer covering most of Africa. Europe is visible near the top of the globe. Across the top, along the curvature of half the globe, is written

I senaste avsnittet av den fenomenala podden Månskott figurerar visst jag! Jösses vad dramatiskt det låter men tycker ändå helheten blev fin. Vore jättekul att höra dina intryck om du lyssnar.

"Mannen som överlistade algoritmerna." 😁

"Nätveteranen Per Axbom kände sig jagad av algoritmer och nätjättarnas övervakning. Han smällde igen dörren och gav sig ut i ett algoritmfritt ingenmansland. Resan blev svårare än han någonsin kunnat föreställa sig."

Finns där poddar finns, till exempel:

Excellent keynote by @abebab at #Internetdagarna today here in Sweden. Looking at the chat, many of Sweden's tech geeks are surprised by the messages she is conveying.

Truly appreciate she was provided this space and made time to participate.

I recommend reading this profile of her in Wired:

This is of course my favorite cover of The Continent, from May of this year. I wouldn’t mind having it as a poster. This is how the magazine explained the image:

”Cover: The Creation of Adam, Michelangelo’s iconic fresco on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel depicts the Christian deity breathing life into the very first man. Today, a handful of incredibly rich men in Silicon Valley claim a similarly grandiose mission. This is, apparently, the dawn of the age of ’artificial intelligence’.

According to its creators, this emerging technology is godlike in its abilities: so powerful that it could one day create unimaginable wealth and luxury – or destroy us all. But not everyone is buying into this hype. We spoke to several African AI researchers who see, instead, an all too familiar pattern of exploitation and extraction.”

@thecontinent

Cover of The Continent. 20 May 2023. ”The dawn of artificial imperialism.”

A pastiche of Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam. It illustrates the Biblical creation narrative from the Book of Genesis in which God gives life to Adam, the first man.

God (top right) is depicted as an elderly white-bearded man, wrapped in a swirling cloak while Adam, on the lower left, has been replaced by a detailed, metallic robot.

God's right arm is outstretched to impart the spark of life from his own finger into that of the robot, whose left arm is extended in a pose mirroring God's. Originally the pose is a reminder from Genesis that God said,

”Just use the tool for good”, they said.

”But what if the tool is built on prejudice, exploitation and inequity?”, I asked,

”It’s just a tool”, they said.

”But what if the output makes things worse?”, I asked.

”Just use the tool for good”, they said.

In @thecontinent this weekend.

« "When I went to Africa, it seemed like no one was paying attention. It was like: ‘We can do whatever we want.’"

These are the words of an American military drone operator – someone who, at the press of a button, can decide whether Africans live or die.

A devastating new investigation details how one particular drone strike killed a Somali mother and her four-year-old daughter. The United States military investigated itself and exonerated itself. Because in Africa, you can do whatever you want. »

Sam Altman fired from OpenAI.

The board has lost trust in him. He was not honest in his communication with the board.

So, the next weeks will be interesting. Will he carry the blame for some bigger revelation?

Many articles are being written about what Hassan describes as "digital slavery". Hassan, today 18, started his AI labeling career when he was 15.

This is a story on the kids who read, watch and listen to traumatic content (including extreme violence) to make AI services appear more autonomous and safe.

"The raw data used to train machine-learning algorithms is first labeled by humans, and human verification is also needed to evaluate their accuracy. This data-labeling ranges from the simple—identifying images of street lamps, say, or comparing similar ecommerce products—to the deeply complex, such as content moderation, where workers classify harmful content within data scraped from all corners of the internet. These tasks are often outsourced to gig workers, via online crowdsourcing platforms such as Toloka, which was where Hassan started his career."

@fasterandworse This is the first book in a long time I will have read all the way through in less than 24 hours. Need to find more books like this. Thinking I may need to re-read some old favorites to get into the habit again.
