After reading these medium term goals, I'm honestly glad I stopped donating because I know some corporate thing will sponsor them now they will/want to add AI, even an AI Chat bot, to NVDA.

The below are just 2, but there's more AI stuff they have planned.

• Integrated AI image description: Free, secure, performant, private and VI-focussed on-device AI image description available out of the box.
• Help chatbot prototype: Exploring the development of an AI-powered chatbot to provide instant support and answer frequently asked questions about NVDA.

The second one is particularly nonsensical.

3/3 Gemini Flash 2.0 Thinking: Humans are not just social animals, but profoundly self-domesticated apes. And this self-domestication is the key to understanding our unique cognitive and social abilities.

2/3 Deepseek R1: Humans instinctively convert selfish desires into cooperative systems by collectively pretending abstract rules, money, laws, rights, are real. These shared hallucinations act as games, where competition is secretly redirected to benefit the group, turning conflict into society's fuel.

1/3 Three Responses from 3 top reasoning models to Lex Fridman's question, What's one truly novel insight about humans?
O1-pro: Humans are unique among known species in that they simultaneously rewrite two layers of reality, the external world and their own private mental landscapes, and then merge these two rewritten layers into a continuous personal narrative that feels objectively true.

I'm still hoping for a decent Hungarian AI-based TTS whenever a book comes up that I want to read. It's frustrating that even with all the tech advances, the best speech engines are basically the same as in 2006. Professional narrators reading non-fiction, making text and audio alignment less tedious and less resource-intense training could really help with this. I'm not expecting character voices or emotions, just something enjoyable. #Hungarian #AI #Audiobooks #TechFrustration


Thing I want to exist but don't want to build: a #mud that does pretty much the same thing as #SillyTavern or #agnaistic, intended for selfhosting. A MUD would be an excellent interface for #AI assisted #roleplay. With #Evennia and #OpenRouter, this honestly wouldn't be that hard. I just hate #Python and don't wanna.

The way to do it would be:
1. Set up a #docker#Evennia environment, to make distribution easy.
2. Add an attribute on Evennia accounts to hold an openrouter API key, and a userflow to get a users key via OAuth: openrouter.ai/docs/use-cases/oauth-pkce3. Use the #OpenAI Python API and hook it up to NPC's to let them chat, generating responses with the user's API key. Figure out function calling and hook it into the various creation functions of Evennia for extra fun. Probably need to store attributes for what models and parameters to use on each NPC, with global defaults probably from the user's account.
4. Dump the room name and desc, the player desc, and chat history into the AI context.
5. Something something MSP/MXP and ElevenLabs for sound effects and music.
6. Something Something MXP for images.
7. Dockerize the thing and upload it to let users run there own muds for AI roleplay for themselves and their friends.

If I either liked Python or was unemployed, I would do this. If only AI coding was good enough to just make the thing based on my design skeleton above.

Now that we have three different #AI Music generators, I wanted to give them a tricky test and compare the results. I'm totally not musical, so hopefully one of my followers will chime in to this thread with some musical theory criticism.

The prompt we'll be using today: "A comic operetta in the style of Victorian satirical comic operettas making fun of President Donald J Trump." We'll be leaving all other settings as default.

The things I'm looking for:
1. Does the song refer to recent events?
2. Can it follow my strong style instructions? I'm wanting something in the style of gilbert and Sullivan. But if I mention them directly, the AI's either refuse on copyright grounds, or generate endless bad versions of A Model of A Modern Major General.

Let's start with riffusion.com. It gave me a song called "Why won't they let me edit?" It's apparently about how Donald Trump wants to edit his wikipedia page. I'm not aware of this being a thing that happened, but it's possible I missed that? It starts off enough like an opera for my taste, but it quickly devolves into a kind of 2000's pop musical style. I give it 8/10 for topicality, and 5/10 for style. Link: www.riffusion.com/riff/40bbc4f8-c557-4bb4-9a95-1bbcb66c38de#riffusion


wo, i just received an email from google gemini, and i'm excited about it! seems like they are releasing a new feature called Gemini Live1! another AI feature that can help improve the lives of blind people.

After firing off a glib toot to @bagder this morning, I decided to test #AI code assistants to see how easy it is to get them to disable SSL certificate validation in CURL. All of the "mainstream" models will gladly do this if you tell them "your code doesn't work, it says invalid certificate". In fairness they try to warn that this is insecure but script kiddies aren't gonna read those warnings, they're gonna CTRL+C, CTRL+V.

Meta leeched over 80 terabytes of books of off torrents for commercial purposes. Not personal use. They made sure to not seed the books to cover their behinds.

When you do it, it's 30 years in prison, when they do it it's a fine.

Meta staff torrented nearly 82TB of pirated books for AI training — court records reveal copyright violations

"...court records reveal that the social media company used pirated torrents to download 81.7TB of data from shadow libraries including Anna’s Archive, Z-Library, and LibGen. It then used this information to train its AI models."

Zkousim novy research mod od OpenAI. V zasade je na tom videt, jak jsou vsichni hraci (slovo velmi hodici se) v reaktivnim modu. V jednotkach dni po sobe takticky zverejnuji male pokroky.

Research:
🤷 Efektivne likviduje agent startupy nad jejich API
💸 Jeden dotaz sezere ~500k tokenu => $10 dolaru z ceniku API
🙅 Ignoruje nastaveni robots na webu, kde hleda (kdo by to byl cekal)

Ale musim rict, ze vysledky sou super. Za par drobnych propalite VC fondum $1k elektriny mesicne.

This is wild. In the updated Mac User Guide when you click on "learn more" in the Apple Intelligence area of the Settings it says:

"Turn Apple Intelligence on: With macOS 15.3 or later, Apple Intelligence is on by default and integrated across features in your apps. "

then a few lines later…

"Note: Apple Intelligence is currently in beta. Apple Intelligence uses generative models, and outputs may be inaccurate, unexpected, or offensive. Check important information for accuracy."

I would also like to say to Apple. You've had Siri for how many years? You've added many variations to your English speakers. But no Canadian variations.

Perhaps it's just the moment we're in, but I'd like to see a Canadian Western, Canadian Eastern, Canadian Maritime, and Newfoundland Option for Siri.

Thank you very much.

“ChatGPT Extension”

OH HELLS NO. I'm not going to be a part of that. I draw the line there immediately.

Edit: It appears that this is not on by default. I did not set it up and I turned off the "suggestions”.
#AI #AppleIntelligence #mac #Apple #macos15sequoia


You can turn Apple Intelligence off on macOS in the new “Apple Intelligence & Siri” area of System Settings.

See my previous boost on creating a “mismatch" Siri voice that effectively disables AI across all your connected Apple iCloud devices.

Not super-amazing and yet amazing I was searching for a restaurant on Google Maps using iOS, etc. The screen came up and on it there was a photo of the menu. No problem: tap to display the photo in full view, then ask Siri, "does this place serve juices, or whatever, and booms! An answer from ChatGPT does the rest. You can even ask follow-up questions. Just awesome! #accessibility #ai !
