There’s something very depressingly emblematic that Chrome Dev Tools’ annoying “Ask AI” sprinkles everywhere include one that pops up and *covers* the Accessibility Tree toggle.

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.

The future of communication in two panels.
#AI
A two-panel cartoon. Left: Person excitedly viewing a computer says, "A.I. turns this single bullet point into a long email I can pretend I wrote." Right: Another person responding to an email says, "A.I. makes a single bullet point out of this long email I can pretend I read."

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.

#AI #riffusion @Onj 🎶

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

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.

"...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."

Meta gebruikte naar verluidt ruim 80TB aan illegaal verkregen data om het Llama-llm te trainen. Werknemers van het bedrijf zouden onder meer ruim 35TB aan documenten uit Z-Library en LibGen hebben gedownload aan de hand van torrents.

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."

A screenshot of the help guide a portion of the text says: Apple Intelligence is the personal intelligence system built into macOS Sequoia. It combines the power of generative models with an understanding of your personal context to deliver intelligence that’s useful and relevant. Apple Intelligence is designed to understand and create language and images; prioritize and summarize notifications, mail, and messages; and draw from the personal information on your device to simplify and accelerate everyday tasks. And it does all this while protecting your privacy. Availability: Apple Intelligence is available with Siri and device language set to English in most regions around the world. For more information, see the Apple Support article Apple Intelligence requirements. Turn Apple Intelligence on: With macOS 15.3 or later, Apple Intelligence is on by default and integrated across features in your apps. If you have an earlier version of macOS 15 (or if you previously turned off Apple Intelligence), choose Apple menu > System Settings, click Apple Intelligence & Siri , then click Get Apple Intelligence. Turn Apple Intelligence off: Choose Apple menu > System Settings, click Apple Intelligence & Siri , then click the button next to Apple Intelligence. 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”.

Your regular reminder that AI (yes, including your fun art generators and silly ChatGPT questions and Google search) use more power than whole countries, and are speeding up climate change and the destruction of the environment.

Just finished the latest book by Richard Powers called "The Playground". Wow, if you are into #ai #philosophy and good fiction, you may want to read this as well... Those of you who read his earlier "The Overstory" may guess what you would be signing up for. His writing and snorytelling is absolutely amazing! #literature audible.com/pd/B0D3WKKT9B?sour…
