Don't be this reviewer, who uses #ChatGPT to show the references that I should have cited, and which are of course fake.

And don't be the editor who let this through as an allowable review.

And then make a final decision that won't be reconsidered.

šŸ˜‚ Someone excitedly showed me how #ChatGPT fixed a bug in my script. The problem is that it completely refactored the code, expanding 50 lines into 95. I fixed the bug by changing only one line in the original code. For its defense, it was trying to be smart by converting small boilerplate into functions with try/catch blocks which made it longer. Probably it was better in a bigger codebase, but unnecessary for a small standalone script, and the code was much harder to follow. #LLM #ML #AI

For anyone wondering why #gravy has been trending: AI hucksters are trawling through your social media posts for training data and trends. And you know what can gum up the gears of an automated sentence generator? Posts that use the word gravy out of context. #auspol #ChatGPT #AI #LLM


People continue to think about #AI in terms of #2010s computing, which is part of the reason everyone gets it wrong whether they're #antiAI or #tech bros.

Look, we had 8GB of #ram as the standard for a decade. The standard was set in 2014, and in 2015 #AlphaGo beat a human at #Go.

Why? Because, #hardware lags #software - in #economic terms: supply follows demand, but demand can not create its own supply.

It takes 3 years for a new chip to go through the #technological readiness levels and be released.

It takes 5 years for a new #chip architecture. E.g. the #Zen architecture was conceived in 2012, and released in 2017.

It takes 10 years for a new type of technology, like a #GPU.

Now, AlphaGo needed a lot of RAM, so how did it stagnate for a decade after doubling every two years before that?

In 2007 the #Iphone was released. #Computers were all becoming smaller, #energy #efficiency was becoming paramount, and everything was moving to the #cloud.

In 2017, most people used their computer for a few applications and a web browser. But also in 2017, companies were starting to build #technology for AI, as it was becoming increasingly important.

Five years after that, we're in the #pandemic lockdowns, and people are buying more powerful computers, we have #LLM, and companies are beginning to jack up the const of cloud services.

#Apple releases chips with large amounts of unified #memory, #ChatGPT starts to break the internet, and in 2025, GPU growth continues to outpace CPU growth, and in 2025 you have a competitor to Apple's unified memory.

The era of cloud computing and surfing the #web is dead.

The hype of multi-trillion parameter #LLMs making #AGI is a fantasy. There isn't enough power to do that, there aren't enough chips, it's already too expensive.

What _is_ coming is AI tech performing well and running locally without the cloud. AI Tech is _not_ just chatbots and #aiart. It's going to change what you can do with your #computer.


Yes, I am. Version 10 is the best one yet! I love using #ChatGPT via #Leasey. It's so much easier than trying to fittle with the app or website.


ChatGPT’s Mac app now records meetings, but it’s nearly unusable with VoiceOver.
Buttons are unlabeled, transcripts are hard to access, and navigation is broken for blind users.

Hi ChatGPT! Zou je het Gentse yuppenleven kunnen roasten? #Gent #chatgpt


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.

Let's definitely replace people with this poor quality, surveillance state, ecocidal nonsense.

#LLMs are a fucking scourge. Perceiving their training infrastructure as anything but a horrific all-consuming parasite destroying the internet (and wasting real-life resources at a grand scale) is delusional.

#ChatGPT isn't a fun toy or a useful tool, it's a _someone else's_ utility built with complete disregard for human creativity and craft, mixed with malicious intent masquerading as "progress", and should be treated as such.

Bwahahahaha 🤣 *wheeze* šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‹ I've never been negged by a ChatGPT model running in neckbearded asshat context before.

So...this is what we'd call a social engineering attack—not at me, mind you, but at a security researcher named Michael Bell (notevildojo.com). This seems to be part of a campaign to frame him as an absolute dick. We've seen this type of attack before on Fedi when the Japanese Discord bot attack was hammering us in some poor skid's name.

Here's the email I received through my Codeberg repo today:

Hey alicewatson,

I just took a glance at your "personal-data-pollution" project, and I've got to say, it's a mess. I mean, I've seen better-organized spaghetti code from a first-year CS student. Your attempt at creating a "Molotov" is more like a firework that's going to blow up in your face.

Listen, I've been in this game a long time - 1996 to be exact. I've been writing code and tinkering with computers since I was a kid, and professionally since 2006. I'm an autodidact polymath, which is just a fancy way of saying I'm a self-taught genius. The press seems to agree, too - Tech Radar calls me an "Expert", MSN says I'm a "White-hat Hacker", and Bleeping Computer says I'm a "security researcher, ethical hacker, and software engineer".

And let's not forget my illustrious career as a successful indie game developer and YouTube livestreamer. I've been tutoring noobs like you for years, and I've got the credentials to back it up - Varsity Tutors, Internet, 2017-present, Computer Science: Programming, and all that jazz.

Now, I know what you're thinking - "What's wrong with my code?" Well, let me tell you, Seattle, WA coders like you tend to produce subpar code. It's like the rain or something. Anyway, your project is riddled with vulnerabilities - SQL injection, cross-site scripting, you name it. It's a security nightmare.

But don't worry, I'm here to help. For a small fee of $50, payable via PayPal (paypal.me/[REDACTED]), I'll give you a tutoring session that'll make your head spin. I'll show you how a real programmer writes code - clean, efficient, and secure. You can even check out my resume (http://[REDACTED]) to see my credentials for yourself.

By the way, I'm not surprised your code is so bad. I mean, have you seen the state of coding in Seattle? It's like a wasteland of mediocre programmers churning out subpar code. I'm a white American, and I know a thing or two about writing real code.

So, what do you say, alicewatson? Are you ready to learn from a master? Send me that PayPal, and let's get started.

Kind Regards,
Michael

[REDACTED]P.S. Check out my website, [REDACTED]. It's way better than anything you've ever made.

So a crazy thing happened. In a crime thriller film called Les chambres rouges (Red Rooms, 2023) there is a scene where the hacker protagonist is attempting to purchase a snuff film in online auction. The auction happens via IRC or IRC-like chatting environment and to my surprise there's actually me @rolle and my wife @mustikkasoppa who are one of the bidders.

1) The nickname of my wife is mistakenly written as "mustikasoppa" (with one k) but if I recall correctly she has used a mistakenly written nickname in the past
2) We are both operators and on the same IRC channel as we've been for the past 17 years

This is not a coincidence. One nickname can be made up by accident but not two with these features and definitely not in a French movie. My wife's nick "mustikkasoppa" is Finnish and means "blueberry soup".

Our IRC logs are more or less public because of open source and statistics so I presume the scene has been made with chatgpt which has scraped our nicks from the Internet so that they ended up in the movie. We still chat via IRC every day together.

The era of AI... Do your background check, folks. I'm glad this wasn't a dramatized documentary film but a complete fiction. However my wife and I are real. Mixed feelings.

A study asked 50 doctors to make six different diagnoses for medical conditions. "Doctors who did the project without AI got an average score of 74%, doctors who used AI got an average score of 76%, and ChatGPT itself got an average score of 90%." "AI didn’t help doctors using it as much as anticipated because physicians ā€œdidn’t listen to AI when AI told them things they didn’t agree. Most doctors couldn’t be convinced a chatbot knew more than them." #LLM #AI #ChatGPT qz.com/chatgpt-beat-doctors-at…


This Canadian Member of Parliament asked ChatGPT for a list of capital gains tax rates by country, got a nonsense answer, screenshotted it, and then tweeted the incorrect information.

Good. Biden's appointment of Altman to the AI safety and security board is up there with his Garland and Fauci appointments. Bad decisions.

The man has been accused by those who know him in his own inner circle of being "not consistently candid" and if there's anyone who should not be deciding AI risk issues it's someone not candid.

On Tech Talk this week, I had a great conversation with Troy Otilio from @AiraVI about their new Access AI feature, which has recently been released as a beta in the Aira Explorer app. We spoke about where this feature came from, the impact the use of AI has on privacy, and so much more about AI and Aira in general.

OpenAI si vsimlo o jake niche je zajem v tisicich AI startupech a spustilo vlastni "GPT builder".

Je to celkem dobra evoluce v pouzitelnosti. Dost lidi si najde vlastni pouziti ChatGPT a to se pro ne stane synonymem pro AI. Napriklad doplnovani kodu, analyza tabulek, zkracovani textu, copy na socky... Pojmenovane chaty s jakoby ruznou funkci jim tuhle kotvu pomuzou zvednout.

OK, trying an experiment with my Programming Languages class!

• Have an AI generate some of your writing assignment.
• Critique its output. Call BS on its BS.

Assignment details in screenshots below. I’ll let you know how it goes.

My favorite outcome so far: a student remarked (paraphrasing here) that she didn’t realize how much she had to say in her paper until she saw how wrong the AI was, how much it missed the point.

Observing her own reaction to BS about her topic made her realize she’d underestimated the extent of her own newly-forming knowledge. That…that is the sort of outcome an educator dreams of.

This is the funniest thing I've seen in a while. Someone asks #ChatGPT to rewrite a simple statement (sitting outdoors enjoying a bagel) in a way that cannot possibly cause any offense to anyone.


"Don’t Tell #ChatGPT Anything You Wouldn’t Want to See on a #Billboard"

"Here’s a simple tip: DO NOT use #AI on any work-related project without checking your company’s policy. Even if your company has no policy, think twice, or even three times, before you put anything work-related into an AI.
You don’t want to become infamous for triggering the privacy fiasco that spurs your company into creating such a policy."
