#SpeakingOutOfPlace welcomes #CarissaVéliz, author of #Prophecy: Prediction, Power, and the Fight for the Future—from Ancient Oracles to #AI
"[W]e talk about how both massive and intrusive invasions of privacy at all levels of society and false claims to be able to predict the future erode democracy, are corrosive to #ethics, and undermine people’s ability to think for themselves."

It suddenly struck me the other day that generative AI used in government and media has a very Memoirs Found in a Bathtub quality about it. One of the premises of Lem's (amazing) novel is that paper disintegrates for unknown reasons, leaving very few hard records of anything. The book is a mock diary of a person who lived through the disorienting chaos that ensued.

Nothing is more valuable than a clear-headed understanding of which particular lies are most likely to succeed in the present environment, and which are just evanescent byproducts of the generally mendacious atmosphere. Dodge the decoys, save the right kind of energy to counter the real blows. Turning up the heat in lamenting the current crisis risks mistaking a mere mirage for a more substantial threat.
I found this to be an excellent and orienting read for anyone concerned about the US right now.
While folks are understandably worried about this administration, which has already inflicted significant harms, it's important to stay level headed and aligned with the actual facts and truths. That's our primary defense against what's happening which, as Arendt argued in the 1970s, hinges on a process of defactualization. Shouting "fascism!" and drawing analogies with the Nazis, as this essay argues, is going too far, turning up the heat about a mirage. Much as we wish they'd do better--and they could do better--in point of fact we do still have a functioning judicial system and media ecosystem, and there are significant numbers of people, including politicians and judges, fully willing to challenge every lie the administration emits. As dangerous as these times are we are nowhere near as far along the authoritarian trajectory as shouting "fascism!" makes it sound, and we should really stop doing that. Doing so grants bluffs and bluster more power than it actually has, which is ultimately a form of surrender. We should recognize our own strength and save it for real threats.
This is one of many reasons why I relentlessly call BS on generative AI and the claims about it coming out of the technology sector. There is a defactualization process at work there that plays into the broader political one; some of the individuals enacting this defactualization in tech are personally involved in doing the same in the federal government. If you've been watching you probably know some of their names and the companies they came from. Generative AI is itself a defactualization machine; that's one of its primary appeals to this crew.
Dodge the decoys and save your energy for the real blows.

Ouço #podcast hoje pelo 💻️ #Kasts:
🎙️ #Fase2: Sandman e o Vale da Estranheza da inteligência artificial | T3E5
☎️💭 Escutava ainda o início do episódio, quando foi reproduzido um telefonema entre máquinas que teriam, sem intervenção humana, constatado essa condição e combinado de passarem o diálogo do inglês para um tal de #Gibberlink, anunciado como um "idioma" mais eficiente para as ditas "inteligências" artificiais conversarem entre si. Então tive que parar tudo para vir aqui comentar: será que estão reinventando a roda? O pessoal esqueceu que isso já existe desde os primórdios? Os moduladores-demoduladores (modem) por canais de voz faziam, no seu auge de popularidade, que os computadores trocassem cerca de 33 kb/s por áudio anaĺógico nas linhas discadas, o equivalente a 3 mil caracteres por segundo de texto. Desde muito antes até, nem narrador de futebol no rádio consegue falar, se muito, 100 caracteres por segundo, certo? Claro que isso até hoje seria muito mais eficiente do que todo o mecanismo de converter texto para voz e principalmente o inverso.

Existe um Vale da Estranheza ("Uncanny Valley") na Inteligência Artificial? Neste episódio, Kelson Douglas apresenta esse conceito criado pelo cientista japonês Masahiro Mori; aponta sua conexão com a ideia de estranheza, proposta por Sigmund Freud e inspirada no conto original “Der Sandmann”, de E. T. A. Hoffmann, e busca alguma aplicação do conceito também no áudio. Para isso, o conteúdo traz referências que vão desde vídeos do pessoal do Corridor Crew e do Anderson Gaveta, especialistas em edição e efeitos visuais (VFX), falando sobre o Vale da Estranheza em filmes, até palestras e apresentações de IA, como as do Google e do Gibberlink, um protocolo de comunicação desenvolvido durante um hackathon, para facilitar a troca de dados entre inteligências artificiais.

I do have to thank #AI for one thing. Some bit of writing that is just obviously fun or a torrent of vast emotions? Something that was clearly written because the author really enjoyed it? I’m loving that kind of beautiful art even if it has plot holes. I read a #Romance book recently where it was a joy to feel where the author was going, even if they swerved the Grumpy character archetype a little. I just really enjoyed reading this thing that I know the author had a really good time creating. The #AIHype helped me appreciate fun more among all the generated text that is generated to just put content out there. The Cupid Chronicles

Reinforcement Learning is AI for playing games, planning actions, and doing things in the real world. It's extremely powerful, but also a fun and interesting topic to learn. I'm teaching myself now.
I was always intimidated by all the esoteric jargon and math in RL. The classic Sutton and Barto text clears that up nicely, though. It's one of the best text books I have ever studied, and it reveals RL is much less complex than it sounds.
I think the excessive mathiness comes from the question "is this policy optimal?" which is a natural place to start, and has been fruitful for the field.
Except, in practice it's rare we can find optimal policies for practical problems. Also, our mathematical formalisms often don't fit, which is why there are so many variations based on what information is available, and what you want to focus on. This produces the tangled mess of names and notations, but really it's just the same idea from subtly different angles.
A best-selling Vancouver author has launched a class-action lawsuit against Nvidia, claiming the multi-trillion dollar tech company illegally used his and other Canadian writers' works to train artificial intelligence large language models (LLM). https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/vancouver-author-leads-class-actions-against-ai-giants-1.7595962
J.B. MacKinnon is named as the representative plaintiff in the claim, which says his books, The 100-Mile Diet and The Once and Future World, were part of a 196,640-book dataset that Nvidia used without paying a licensing fee or securing consent to acquire or use the works. #cdnpoli #copyright #AI

I disagree with this update. Here is the follow up to the article I shared yesterday. Personally I think it’s OK if everybody is feeling a little bit emotional about their hero willingly using a technology that is rooted in a lot of all kinds of systemic oppression. To me, I hate this need for every figure people look up to to be perfect, but I do not expect anybody I actively promote to turn on a dime when it’s convenient for them. Anybody that calls this emotional response purity anything is missing the point. The point is about being frustrated because people appear to stop caring.

"I believe GPT-5 is part of a larger process happening in generative AI — enshittification, Cory Doctorow’s term for when platforms start out burning money offering an unlimited, unguarded experience to attract their users, then degrade and move features to higher tiers as a means of draining the blood from users.
With the launch of GPT-5, OpenAI has fully committed to enshittifying its consumer and business subscription products, arbitrarily moving free users to a cheaper model and limiting their ability to generate images, and removing the ability to choose which model you use in its $20, $35 and “enterprise” subscriptions, moving any and all choice to its “team” and $200-a-month “pro” subscriptions.
OpenAI’s justification is an exercise in faux-altruism, framing “taking away all choice” as a “real-time router that quickly decides which [model] to use.” ChatGPT Plus and Team members now mostly have access to two models — GPT-5 and GPT-5-Thinking — down from the six they had before.
This distinction is quite significant. Where users once could get hundreds of messages a day on OpenAI’s o4-mini-high and o4-mini reasoning models, GPT-5 for ChatGPT Plus subscribers offers 200 reasoning (GPT-5-thinking) messages a week, with 80 GPT-5 messages every 3 hours which allow you to ask it to “think” about its answer, shoving you over to an undisclosed reasoning model. This may seem like a good deal, OpenAI is likely putting you on the cheapest model whenever it can in the name of “the best choice.”"
