I've now published my free AI Trial and Evaluation Worksheet, along with a walkthrough of its topic areas.
https://axbom.com/ai-worksheet/
« Many people are telling me how their companies are running tests of AI tools. This in itself is not strange at all. It's probably difficult as a leader today not to feel stressed by the manufacturers of AI promising revolutionary abilities that will radically change all of business as we know it. Promises that also tend to get big headlines in the news. There is an understandable sense of responsibility to get a handle on the situation.
However, these "trials" take place with varying degrees of instructions and frameworks. The "hurry-hustle-scurry" factor often leads to tunnel vision. Businesses become intimidation-driven rather than data-driven. The testing may, for example, lack the support needed to understand the tools â as well as any guidance on how the evaluation should be documented.
This template can help. Think of it as a way of taking a deep breath before making important decisions. »
Nu har jag Àntligen börjat skriva pÄ boken.
SjÀlvklart var jag tvungen att göra en mockup av omslaget först. Jag Àr en sÄ'n som behöver visualisera slutresultatet. Inte alls sÀkert att det blir sÄ hÀr, och underrubriken Àr jag inte hundra pÄ Ànnu, men det hjÀlper mig att tÀnka mig in i lÀsarens situation.
GĂ€ller bara att ro detta i hamn nu. đ
@bobmcwhirter This is an excellent question and I believe I want to see it but also easily show it. Which means in my mind I've been thinking forearm.
@LeoR1010 That is exactly my thinking. đ
Iâm becoming more and more resolute on getting a tatoo for my 50th birthday (in June).
As this would be my first one, I thought Iâd just pose an open question: is there anything I should think through regarding size, placement or other aspects. Happy to get advice from people more experienced. I expect there are many rookie mistakes to avoid.
The tatoo will be Africa-related and likely involve a map of Africa. So, yeah, I have not decided on the artwork yet.
@asbjornn Exakt, och det kommer knappast leda till billig energi under vÄr livstid.
Jag Àr personligen primÀrt motstÄndare till kÀrnkraft av sÀkerhetsskÀl (sÄvÀl nu som i en avlÀgsen framtid) men dagens reportage i SvD, om varför det gÄr sÄ lÄngsamt för regeringen i den hÀr frÄgan, belyser de galet höga kostnaderna pÄ ett sÀtt som jag tror fler behöver förstÄ.
"Och Àr det nÄgot som Àr svÄrt att rÀkna hem sÄ Àr det just ny kÀrnkraft.
Kalkylen strĂ€cker sig över Ă„tminstone 100 Ă„r. Först ska bolaget bygga reaktorerna, sedan driva dem i 60â80 Ă„r, dĂ€refter montera ned dem och slutförvara brĂ€nslet. Ett faktum som Anna Borg framhöll offentligt.
Det Àr i princip omöjligt att göra en vettig ekonomisk kalkyl över en sÄ lÄng tidsperiod."
"Medan regeringen tillsatte kĂ€rnkraftssamordnaren Carl Berglöf och elmarknadsutredaren Bo Diczfalusy kom EDF med dĂ„liga nyheter â igen.
Nu berÀknade bolaget att kostnaden för att bygga de tvÄ reaktorerna Hinkley Point C skulle öka till 620 miljarder kronor samtidigt som bygget skulle bli ytterligare försenat.
Prislappen för de tvÄ brittiska reaktorerna motsvarade nu runt hÀlften av den svenska Ärliga statsbudgeten. Och den svenska regeringen ville bygga ny kÀrnkraft i paritet med tio storskaliga reaktorer."

@danne Haha, tack! đ
â ïž AI targeting software used by Israeli army with civilians as collateral damage
âLavenderâ is the name of an artificial intelligence-based program developed by the Israeli army which has has played a central role in the unprecedented bombing of Palestinians.
It is âdesigned to mark all suspected operatives in the military wings of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), including low-ranking ones, as potential bombing targets.â
Thousands of Palestinians not involved in the fighting âwere wiped out by Israeli airstrikes, especially during the first weeks of the war, because of the AI programâs decisions.â
âDuring the early stages of the war, the army gave sweeping approval for officers to adopt Lavenderâs kill lists, with no requirement to thoroughly check why the machine made those choices or to examine the raw intelligence data on which they were based.â
âAnother source said that they had personally authorized the bombing of âhundredsâ of private homes of alleged junior operatives marked by Lavender, with many of these attacks killing civilians and entire families as âcollateral damage.ââ
âAdditional automated systems, including one called âWhereâs Daddy?â also revealed here for the first time, were used specifically to track the targeted individuals and carry out bombings when they had entered their familyâs residences.â

@iamdavidobrien I am completely on board with @fromjason's take.
I thought I had a non-meta policy too. đ
Back to it now.
Not gonna lie. I tried out Threads for a couple of months to get my own grasp of what it's about. The FOMO can be strong in me.
My personal conclusion is that it can't hold a candle to the Fediverse. It was a novelty for a week or two but once again the algorithm just messes everything up, wanting to "predict" and control what I should be paying attention to.
I've also (again) realised that this right here is where my peeps are, and that is likely the most important aspect of all.
So very happy and thankful for everyone who chooses the fediverse.
I truly doubt that Threads federating with ActivityPub is a good thing â the underlying raison d'ĂȘtre is just very different.

@PerryM
I'm not using Mastodon, but thank you for adding your reflection and perspective on how irony is related to the character count of plain text used for communication.
I'll consider the impact of adding a timeframe for auto-deletion of plain-text messages.
@KirstenAnne Thanks đ Good one.
@dymaxion @cartocalypse Wow. đźđ„ș
