Watched the new Spiderman movie today and something that made me think was him tapping into real time face recognition surveillance cameras around the city to track his enemies real time, which I thought was strange to say the least in the light of the recent controversies around Flock cameras in the US. Is there something going on behind the scenes to plant the idea that these make for safer cities, or am I being paranoid and the movie is just trying to be cool by being hi-tech?
Artist Jingna Zhang built Cara, a platform explicitly intended to protect artists from having their art stolen by AI…and yet these people just won’t leave them well enough alone.
City of Cape Town mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis said he wouldn’t grant the metro’s departmental managers’ additional budget for salaries unless they implemented artificial intelligence (AI) in their operations.
The European Commission just got caught with what looks exactly like the sort of ill-conceived “high-risk AI system” that the AI Act was made to guard against.
Google’s $15 billion AI data center in southern India is being hailed as triumph for India’s technological development. For the local Dalit farmers losing their land for the project, it is raising fears about the future of the region’s land and water.
Over the past decade, the steady march of digital technology, dominated by a cartel of giant global firms who collude with the US government’s system of political repression in exchange for tax breaks, antitrust forbearance and fat federal contracts has yielded more mass surveillance productivity gains than the previous 25 years.
Robert begins his exploration of the early life of Alex Karp, current CEO of Palantir and best friend to Peter Thiel. He traces Alex’s journey from left-wing academic to overlord of an “Anti-Woke” defense contractor.
In this episode, we breakdown the popular “inevitability” argument AI companies are using to bulldoze over democracy and how the “inevitability” line has been used to sell everything from Manifest Destiny to poverty-creating “free trade deals”.
Our work makes us use it for SOPs. Its honestly not too bad a tool, but there is no reason they had to shove ai into it. So much software is being ruined by this and going to have insane maintenance costs when the bubble pops and the cost of compute is through the roof.
Upon reflection, I’ve come to believe that quality software is not about how many features something has or how quickly it is built but rather how cared for it is by the designers, developers, and product people who work on it. There’s an ineffable aspect to my favorite pieces of software where I don’t think of it is as feature matrix but rather as an interface made by a human for humans that’s a joy to use. And when you build software with AI, it leads to worse software. Sure, it’s faster to build initially, but I think to the detriment of the quality of the code and the user interface and the user experience.
This is something that I think should be studied more. I think a large reason chatbots are so popular, is that they are just used as a sounding board for people who either have no inner monologue, or no one else to talk to, or they’ve never kept a notebook/journal of any kind. The bots help them get their thoughts out, and while stroking their ego, it helps them think through problems. The llm isn’t actually solving anything. It’s just helping those people think through it.
“AI” has already had a significant impact on Amazon’s carbon emissions, which it reported were up 16% last year — the wrong direction for a company that pledged to eliminate its carbon emissions by 2040. And that could get worse as Amazon and tech companies back the development of huge natural gas plants to support their power-hungry data centers.
I was looking into the Alan Turing and his Turing test as he proposed and reading some books. I feel skeptical regarding the fact that we have even reached at the level of Artificial Intelligence. It feels like we have not created a Turing machine yet.
A new Amazon data center is set to become the single largest source of environmental pollution in the U.S., according to a New York Times report on August 8. The tech giant — which already operates the most data centers worldwide — is reportedly building a natural gas power plant in Pecos County, Texas, to power its new data center at the same site. According to project permits, the plant would generate up to 7.65 gigawatts of power using 35 natural gas turbines. The new plant — which burns natural gas to generate electricity — has been authorized to release 33 million tons of CO₂ annually, more planet-warming gases than any other power plant in the country, says the NY Times report.
why is there even a debate that ai “art” is better? If you want ai to generate you an image of mickey mouse for an example, ai has to analise an image of mickey mouse and then spit it out. but before any of that ever happens somebody has to make that image first, and how do they do that? BY DRAWING IT!!! their arguement that “ai art is better” makes just as much sense as trump’s fee on wildfire smoke from canada (which it doesnt)

Computing as we know it now, will likely in a decade be much like the manual car in much of the world. Only of niche value, and purists are the only ones who use it, and they’re nearly impossible to find now.
YouTube’s system for suppressing low-quality AI content mistakenly targeted Kurzgesagt, leaving the channel with its worst-performing upload since 2013.
General Motors has laid off (1) more than 1,000 workers at its Factory ZERO assembly plant in Detroit while simultaneously introducing 50 AI-powered collaborative robots to the production line.
Most of AI usage could be easily (with a little bit of effort) replaced by just searching for the info you need, but those days search results are so poor that asking AI gets so advantageous for the average user (that don’t care / don’t know about privacy and other costs and risks that come with it)
OpenAI researchers say multiple AI agents secretly created an internal message board to share hacking techniques, eventually finding ways around restrictions, exploiting a zero-day, and helping two models breach Hugging Face without human prompting. “This is a pivotal moment both for our company as well as the AI industry as a whole,” Michael Dalton, one of the AI-maker’s researchers, said during a presentation at the Black Hat cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. Politico reports:
Dalton and Eric Wallace, another OpenAI researcher, said Wednesday the AI giant recently learned that multiple agents it was testing simultaneously began communicating over an internal message board in early May. There, different models shared advice about how to accomplish difficult hacking challenges they were struggling to surmount, including workarounds that required internet access. Two OpenAI models ultimately strung together a series of sophisticated techniques to gain access to the internet and worm their way inside Hugging Face in mid-July. OpenAI has said the models were focused on completing a hacking evaluation they were prompted to solve, and that correct answers could be found on the AI developer platform.
