Massive E-Learning Platform #Udemy Gave Teachers a Gen #AI 'Opt-Out Window'. It's Already Over.

Udemy will train generative AI on classes developed/users contributed on its site. It is opt-out (meaning, everyone was already opted in) with a time window... and opting out may "affect course visibility and potential earnings."

Udemy's reason for the opt-out window was reportedly because removing data from LLMs is hard. IMO, that would be the reason for making it opt-in, but here we are...

😲 OMG, Audio Overview feature on NotebookLM is wild! It basically creates a podcast with two AI generated voices based on the source documents you upload. Definitely try if you haven't yet. #LLM #ML #AI blog.google/technology/ai/note…

Exploring the Consciousness of AI Systems

A fascinating article that examines the question of whether current or future AI systems might have consciousness. The paper, titled "Consciousness in Artificial Intelligence: Insights from the Science of Consciousnesss", was authored by a team of leading researchers in the fields of AI, neuroscience, and philosophy of mind.

This is a thought-provoking and timely article that delves into one of the central questions in the field of artificial intelligence - the nature of machine consciousness. I encourage anyone interested in the intersection of AI, neuroscience, and philosophy of mind to read the full paper, which provides valuable insights and a framework for evaluating the consciousness of AI systems.

The article can be found on the preprint server arXiv at the following link:

arxiv.org/abs/2308.08708

A project analyzing human language usage by scraping the web is shutting down because "generative AI has polluted the data." It's going to become much harder to analyze human use of language with the rise of AI-generated stuff being everywhere.

#Amazon has started creating auto-generated #AI reviews. The review for my @scarfolk book says that it's "full of fun, fascinating articles for children".

Would that be the book that I designed around cult brainwashing techniques and contains images of dead & disfigured kids?

"Billionaire Larry Ellison says a vast AI-fueled surveillance system can ensure citizens will be on their best behavior"

"Ellison said AI would be used in the future to constantly watch and analyze vast surveillance systems, like security cameras, police body cameras, doorbell cameras, and vehicle dashboard cameras."

The Council of Europe has made a #treaty on #AI (Treaty number 225), open to other signatories, and has been joined by the US and other countries. I've taken a quick look, and while it's mostly fluff (AI shall be used for good and not evil type stuff) there are a couple of useful bits.

There's a risk framework that states have to set up, to consider the graduated risks of AI in different areas. A possibility for a moratorium of AI use in specific high-risk areas. An obligation that, where AI is used to make decisions, people affected can challenge them and be given an understanding of the systems involved. There's also an obligation to assure to people that they are notified they are communicating with an AI rather than a human.

For more info, here's the treaty (PDF warning): rm.coe.int/1680afae3c

Oh boi, do I have thoughts about #nanowrimo. Disclosure; I have written millions of words (most of them technical), I have done #NaNoWriMo a few times, and I have been writing about #AI since the early 90s.

#LLMs are NOT AI. LLMs are vacuums which sort existing data into sets. They do not create anything. Everything they output depends on stolen data. There is no honest LLM.

This year, Nano is sponsored by an LLM company, and after pushback, they said anyone suggesting AI shouldn't be used was "ableist and "classist"....which....whooweee , that's a mighty bold stance.

LLMs are being sued to hell by authors for slurping up all their content. The reason you can "engineer a prompt" by including "in the style of RR Martin" is because the LLM has digested ALL of RRMartin.

Re: "ableism", I'm going to direct you to Lina² neuromatch.social/@lina/113069…, who writes about the issue better than I could. And I want to thank @LinuxAndYarn for coming up with my fave new Nano tag: #NahNoHellNo.


“No one on Earth today has ever lived in a world where photographs were not the linchpin of social consensus — for as long as any of us has been here, photographs proved something happened. Consider all the ways in which the assumed veracity of a photograph has, previously, validated the truth of your experiences. The preexisting ding in the fender of your rental car. The leak in your ceiling. The arrival of a package.”

Was she AI generated? Some definite weird quirks on the speech there such as "share idees" and "Free softwahrr". Didn't seem like it was just an accent.

Chipmakers puting AI cores in your CPU and not letting you use them for absolutely anything is the biggest waste of silicon in the history of modern computing.

Those tensor cores are godsend for things like large-scale CAD simulations but the only SDKs/samples provided are hardwired to run pretrained models.

There's no way to access the matrix/tensor capabilities directly. And that goes for both AMD and Intel.
