#Slop is low-quality media - including writing and images - made using generative artificial intelligence technology.

Quelle: Wikipedia.

Open source projects have to deal with a growing number of low-quality vulnerability reports based on AI. See for example this comment from Daniel Stenberg, maintainer of #Curl:

I'm sorry you feel that way, but you need to realize your own role here. We receive AI slop like this regularly and at volume. You contribute to unnecessary load of curl maintainers and I refuse to take that lightly and I am determined to act swiftly against it. Now and going forward.

You submitted what seems to be an obvious AI slop "report" where you say there is a security problem, probably because an AI tricked you into believing this. You then waste our time by not telling us that an AI did this for you and you then continue the discussion with even more crap responses - seemingly also generated by AI.

看 #特斯拉 #TESLA 季營收趨勢圖

相比於 #NVDA 的季營收趨勢，特斯拉季營收趨勢更顯得維持時間很短就產生另一條趨勢線。確實如此!!

除了季營收趨勢持續時間短，產生多條趨勢線外，季營收扣除銷貨成本和營業費用所產生的指標差距也非常大銷貨成本占超過70%，營業費用也占了超過10%。

換句話說，特斯拉的季營收指標趨勢僅供參考，不能成為投資人的信任的指標。因為當你看著季營收，以為特斯拉很賺錢，其實扣除成本後........

總歸比台廠的毛三到四還要好很多 🤣

看輝達 #NVIDIA 的季營收趨勢圖
清楚的三條趨勢線，很穩定。最新趨勢上升速度非常快，代表產能穩定擴張並且快速擴張。

這可以說是製造業的特性，穩定，如果訂單滿員，那麼就看產能擴張速度。所以這樣的季營收趨勢其實是產能擴張速度。

AI spurs 'revolution' for some visually impaired people

"Microsoft Office, like many companies in recent months, has slyly turned on an “opt-out” feature that scrapes your Word and Excel documents to train its internal AI systems. This setting is turned on by default, and you have to manually uncheck a box in order to opt out.

If you are a writer who uses MS Word to write any proprietary content (blog posts, novels, or any work you intend to protect with copyright and/or sell), you’re going to want to turn this feature off immediately.

I won’t beat around the bush. Microsoft Office doesn’t make it easy to opt out of this new AI privacy agreement, as the feature is hidden through a series of popup menus in your settings:

On a Windows computer, follow these steps to turn off “Connected Experiences”: File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Privacy Options > Privacy Settings > Optional Connected Experiences > Uncheck box: “Turn on optional connected experiences”"

Nvidia ( $NVDA ) reported Q3 earnings of $0.81 EPS on $35.1 billion revenue, surpassing expectations. The Data Center business hit $30.8 billion, up 112% YoY, while gaming revenue reached $3.3 billion. Nvidia's stock fell 1% post-announcement.

What do you think about Nvidia's future in the AI-driven market?

Nvidia ( $NVDA ) is set to present earnings after markets close on Wednesday, with all of Wall Street eager to see if the AI bull market continues. Founder Jensen Huang is expected to set the tone for the industry, as Nvidia supplies roughly nine out of ten AI training chips to data centers.

Will Nvidia's results reaffirm investor confidence in the AI boom?

The concern here is that old search engines can give you links and you can go into them to verify the content. AI taking over our search engines hides the sources of information, forcing us to blindly trust the AI and wherever it got its information from.

Happy birthday to ARPANET, the forerunner of the modern internet! 53 years ago, the first message was sent over this pioneering network, paving the way for a world of interconnection and innovation.

As a tech enthusiast, I am constantly amazed by the ways the internet has transformed our lives, allowing us to communicate, learn and share ideas across boundaries and borders. From social media to e-commerce, from telemedicine to remote work, the internet has become an essential part of our daily routines, enabling us to connect with others and access a wealth of information at our fingertips.

What do people think of this response to ‘generate detailed Alt Text’ by Gemini:

Here is some detailed alt text for the image you provided:
Alt Text:
A large, menacing grey cat, reminiscent of a monster, stands on its hind legs with its front paws raised. It has glowing yellow eyes and a wide, toothy grin. The cat is surrounded by a fiery aura as it emits a powerful beam of energy from its mouth. The beam is directed towards the Empire State Building in New York City, which is engulfed in flames. The city skyline is visible in the background, with tall buildings and smoke rising from the destruction. The overall tone of the image is chaotic and destructive, evoking a sense of fear and awe.
Additional Notes:
• You may want to adjust the description of the cat's appearance based on its specific characteristics.
• If the image is part of a larger context (like a movie poster or book cover), you could add a brief reference to that context.
• The alt text should be concise and informative, providing a clear description of the image without being overly detailed.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Did you know IBM helped Hitler carry out the Holocaust? Is it in any way surprising that we can’t do anything about Big Tech and toxic oligarchs like Elon Musk when even those who helped carry out one of the worst tragedies in human history remain unpunished? Should it come as a shock that the very same bastards are funding and pining for fascism today?

Disabling #Windows #AI features organization-wide using #GroupPolicy.

This will turn off #Recall (the periodic screenshot service) and #Copilot (the AI assistant service).

1. Download and install the Windows 11 24H2 administrative template files: microsoft.com/en-us/download/d…

2. Add the files from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Group Policy\Windows 11 Sep 2024 Update (24H2)\PolicyDefinitions to C:\Windows\SYSVOL\domain\Policies\PolicyDefinitions on the domain controller.

3. Start Group Policy Management on the domain controller.

4. Create a group policy object with these values:

User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows AI > Turn off Saving Snapshots for Windows = enabled

User Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Copilot > Turn off Windows Copilot = enabled

5. Link the group policy object in at an appropriate level in your domain.

I'm a little puzzled at the salience that is being given to the Apple conclusions on #LLM #reasoning when we have lots of prior art. For example: LLMs cannot correctly infer a is b, if their corpora only contain b is a. #Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2309.12288

#AI #MachineLearning #logic

The Reversal Curse: LLMs trained on "A is B" fail to learn "B is A"

We expose a surprising failure of generalization in auto-regressive large language models (LLMs). If a model is trained on a sentence of the form "A is B", it will not automatically generalize to the reverse direction "B is A".

Sam Altman believes #AI is using a trivial amount of energy.

"The energy use of AI, I think relative to the value it's creating, is quite tiny today. I don't want to minimize it too much, because it's going to go up — like we will use gigawatts over time, out of, you know, terawatts on Earth."

I guess this depends on if the energy use of small countries is trivial and if you believe Earth can sustain producing terawatts of energy indefinitely.
