So I asked #ElevenLabs for "a ham radio operator calling CQ on the busy 20-meter band". As a #ham myself, this is absolutely correct; we all eventually just trail off into unintelligible growling noises. #AI
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.
In this lecture, Lawrence Lessig will discuss the impact of artificial intelligence on the 2024 American election, and the implications that this will have for democracy in the future.
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
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".
There is a sudden explosion in the popularity of AI Hawk — a program that uses bots to let applicants apply to multiple jobs on LinkedIn. This means that we now live in a world where people are using AI-generated resumes and cover letters to automatically apply for jobs, many of which will be reviewed by automated AI software, creating a bizarre loop where humans have essentially been removed from the job application and hiring process.

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.
Fun experiment, but yeah, don't pipe an #LLM raw into /bin/bash
Buck #Shlegeris, CEO at #RedwoodResearch, a nonprofit that explores the risks posed by #AI , recently learned an amusing but hard lesson in automation when he asked his LLM-powered agent to open a secure connection from his laptop to his desktop machine. #security #unintendedconsequences

In the early part of the 20th Century, there was a fad for "Radium". The magical, radioactive substance that glowed in the dark. The market had decided that Radium was The Next Big Thing and tried to shove it into every product. There …
Independent test of #OpenAI’s o1-preview model achieved near-perfect performance on a national #math exam (landing in the top .1% of the nation’s students).
o1 also outperformed 4o on the math test, but took about 3 times longer to do so (10 minutes vs. 3 minutes).
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 #AIblog.google/technology/ai/note…
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:
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?

Znáte produkty digitoo.ai? Kamarád uvažuje o vytěžovacím OCR sw na faktury do účetnictví a první s čím se u jejich trial verze setkal je, že MS ten instalátor nepovažuje za důvěryhodnou binárku. 🤣 Data prý na Azure Cloud, šifrovaná, hmmm hmmm.

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.
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.
