Check out my latest blog post, “Fact Check Substack with a Superprompt”

s/o @mikecaulfield for the #SIFTtoolbox!

Just launched https://TheBeautifulPrison.com — #fiction and #essays exploring #consciousness, #identity, and remaining yourself under pressure.

Four #stories: an #LLM trapped in vintage hardware, #vampires learning restraint is #love, forest beings choosing self over dissolution. Two essays on #AI consciousness and honest critical engagement.

AI-assisted. Grounded in #Objectivist #philosophy taking individual consciousness seriously.

The recursive tension—writing about identity with AI—is the point.

A must read article about #AI detection tools and how #ableist those are, and the very negative effects it has against #neurodivergent persons like #Autistics and #ADHD.

Teachers must especially read this!

Are you still on #Spotify?

Spotify’s CEO Daniel Ek has raised €600M for his new startup, which is developing AI TECH FOR WAR. Ek still owns 9% of Spotify, but has 37% voting control. His net worth went from $2.5B to $10B in the last two years alone, on the back of paying musicians a pittance in royalties.

And don’t forget:

• Spotify spent $250M of your subscription dollars to invite Joe Rogan to spew his disinformation on their platform.
• They’re still trying to embrace and extinguish Podcasts.
• They’re developing in-house, AI-generated “music” so users will play them (royalty-free) instead of music created by humans (who demand royalty).

And now, he’s using his wealth, created by your subscriptions, to fund tech that will use AI to literally murder humans in war.

Stop funding him. Quit Spotify now.

“Spotify’s CEO invests $1 billion into an AI military start-up — and musicians are fuming”

So-called "generative" AI is the opposite of generative. The word "generative" in the name "generative AI" is a piece of jargon that is, even then, arguably misused in some applications. But as an anti-imagination, remix-only technology, it's just not generative at all, and cannot be. On top of this it impedes creative expression in multiple ways: co-opting it, devaluing it, directing energy away from it, etc.

The premium #AI feature I want from

• My operating system
• My mobile device
• My browser
• My ebook reader

… is exactly ONE THING:
advanced detection and watermarking of ALL generated content.

I want to _know_ when my eyes are consuming something that never existed and is not the intentional, compensated product of human beings.

Integrating critical infrastructure systems more and more tightly by making them all digital and dependent on digital infrastructure increases the risk of catastrophic failure cascades. The risk profile has a phase transition with respect to increasing interconnectivity that, once crossed, makes such failure cascades comparatively highly likely.

The effect is not unlike nuclear fission reactions, which require a certain density of fissile material before they'll be self-sustaining. An event that'd just sputter out at one density might become an out-of-control explosion at a slightly higher density. Likewise, what might be a small and isolated component fault at one level of connectivity could be a catastrophic cascading critical infrastructure failure at a slightly higher level of connectivity.

The possibility of cascading failures in the nuclear power system seems like something we should be putting considerable resources into avoiding, rather than actively courting.

In response to ‘Atoms for Algorithms:’ The Trump Administration’s Top Nuclear Scientists Think AI Can Replace Humans in Power Plants at 404 Media.

Currently I’m with my mom for a few days and I noticed her Facebook and Instagram feed..

I think about half is #AI generated slop..

And she has no clue whatsoever

This is such a massive difference from just a few years ago, personally I really think AI slop is a plague, I certainly don’t wanna host it myself

Mozilla's new CEO is all-in on AI regardless of what Firefox users want: https://lwn.net/Articles/1050826/

Third: Firefox will grow from a browser into a broader ecosystem of trusted software. Firefox will remain our anchor. It will evolve into a modern AI browser and support a portfolio of new and trusted software additions.

He says the word "trust" a whole bunch of times yet intends to turn an otherwise nice web browser into a slop-slinging platform. I don't expect this will work out very well for anyone.

"It will evolve into a modern AI browser" sounds like a threat. Good way to start off on the right foot, new Mozilla CEO (sarcasm).

Your work may have been used to train the #LLM used in this reported study. See toot at link. https://mastodon.social/@ErsatzCulture/115838841401363457

Recently, I spent a lot of time reading & writing about LLM benchmark construct validity for a forthcoming article. I also interviewed LLM researchers in academia & industry. The piece is more descriptive than interpretive, but if I’d had the freedom to take it where I wanted it to go, I would’ve addressed the possibility that mental capabilities (like those that benchmarks test for) are never completely innate; they’re always a function of the tests we use to measure them ...

#LLMs #AI

From navigation to cheating in exams, early adopters of AI glasses in China are renting them for as little as $6 a day. Some models offer live translation, real-time calorie tracking, and theater-like movie experiences, but not everyone is sold on the new tech, even as the government encourages citizens to buy it.

I guess I won't be reading Al Jazeera any more. *sigh*

Governments worldwide are training AI models to use them - on US. Cameras are found wherever we go, with growing amounts of footage evaluated not by humans, but #AI!

Under the cover of "fighting crime" this prepares the ground for widespread, automated mass #surveillance.

They are:
✔ Preparing the legal framework
✔ Expanding surveillance infrastructure
✔ Exploring new use cases

We have a a #dais open summit session tomorrow to talk about #AI slop in open source.

I'm quite looking forward to it but have such conflicting opinions that I find hard to wrassle into a coherent policy.

I finally read "I, Robot" by Asimov. I think it is good, and especially with #Ai and #LLMs here now, so many tech-bros citing stuff like the three laws, think it is worthwhile to go read the actual book. It is not about robot crimes, at all. It feels astonishingly up to date for something written during and shortly after WW2. I guess because people now aren't that different from people who lived 100 years ago. #bookstodon @bookstodon #books #reading
