Outre la douleur et le dégoût bien compréhensibles exprimés ici par Zelda Williams (fille de Robin Williams), je trouve sa définition de l'IA générative particulièrement bien trouvée :

"Human Centipede of Content".

#ai #generativeAI #genai

Capture d'écran d'une "story" de Zelda Williams (fille de Robin Williams) sur Instagram, dont voici la traduction française : "S'il vous plaît, arrêtez de m'envoyer des vidéos IA de Papa. Arrêtez de croire que je veux les voir ou que je vais comprendre, ce n'est pas le cas et ça ne le sera jamais. Si vous essayez juste de me troller, j'ai vu bien pire, je vais vous bloquer et passer à autre chose. Mais s'il vous plaît, si vous avez un minimum de décence, arrêtez de lui faire ça, à lui, à moi, à tout le monde même, point final. C'est stupide, c'est une perte de temps et d'énergie, et croyez-moi, ce n'est PAS ce qu'il voudrait. Voir l'héritage de personnes réelles réduit à « ça leur ressemble vaguement, donc ça suffit », juste pour que d'autres puissent produire d'horribles vidéos TikTok en les manipulant comme des marionnettes, c'est insupportable. Vous ne faites pas de l'art, vous fabriquez des hot-dogs industriels dégoûtants à partir de la vie d'êtres humains, de l'histoire de l'art et de la musique, puis vous nous en gavez de force en espérant qu'on vous donnera un petit pouce levé et un "J'aime". Ca me dégoûte."
Seconde capture de la "story" Instagram de Zelda Williams, dont voici la traduction française : "Et pour l'amour de TOUT, arrêtez d'en parler comme de « l'avenir ». L'IA ne fait que recycler et régurgiter le passé pour qu'il soit consommé à nouveau. Vous ne faites que reprendre ce que vous donne ce "Human Centipede" du contenu, et vous vous trouvez au bout du bout de la chaîne, tandis que ceux qui sont au début rigolent bien, et consomment et brûlent tout."

Here is a way that I think #LLMs and #GenAI are generally a force against innovation, especially as they get used more and more.

TL;DR: 3 years ago is a long time, and techniques that old are the most popular in the training data. If a company like Google, AWS, or Azure replaces an established API or a runtime with a new API or runtime, a bunch of LLM-generated code will break. The people vibe code won't be able to fix the problem because nearly zero data exists in the training data set that references the new API/runtime. The LLMs will not generate correct code easily, and they will constantly be trying to edit code back to how it was done before.

This will create pressure on tech companies to keep old APIs and things running, because of the huge impact it will have to do something new (that LLMs don't have in their training data). See below for an even more subtle way this will manifest.

I am showcasing (only the most egregious) bullshit that the junior developer accepted from the #LLM, The LLM used out-of-date techniques all over the place. It was using:

  • AWS Lambda Python 3.9 runtime (will be EoL in about 3 months)
  • AWS Lambda NodeJS 18.x runtime (already deprecated by the time the person gave me the code)
  • Origin Access Identity (an authentication/authorization mechanism that started being deprecated when OAC was announced 3 years ago)

So I'm working on this dogforsaken codebase and I converted it to the new OAC mechanism from the out of date OAI. What does my (imposed by the company) AI-powered security guidance tell me? "This is a high priority finding. You should use OAI."

So it is encouraging me to do the wrong thing and saying it's high priority.

It's worth noting that when I got the code base and it had OAI active, Python 3.9, and NodeJS 18, I got no warnings about these things. Three years ago that was state of the art.

Screenshot of a code editor. There are a bunch of CloudFormation YAML lines here, creating a CloudFront distribution. There's a pop-up warning with a red "High" badge (I assume it means high priority, not that we were smoking weed when writing this error). The description of the problem says: CloudFront Distribution Resources have an S3 Origin configured without an Origin Access Identity (OAI). An origin access identity is a special CloudFront user identity that is used to secure access to the origin server associated with a CloudFront distribution. By enabling the cloudfront_origin_access_identity_enabled setting, you are indicating that you have configured and activated an origin access identity for your CloudFront distribution.

I watched someone "vibe code" for an hour and now I think "slot machine coding" is a more appropriate name. "Let us pull the lever again and see if the code gets better with this prompt."

#PSA Heads up: Soundcloud will use your content to train AI

ETA: Lovely news! The change to SoundCloud's terms of service happened in February 2024; they've been stealing your intellectual property for a whole-ass year.

SoundCloud Quietly Forced Artists to Let AI Feast on Their Music

SoundCloud, a music-sharing platform loved by new and independent artists, updated its terms to allow it to use artists' work for AI training.

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.

This generative model allows you to sketch out a scene with a few words, it then leverages an LLM to flesh out the details, with the ultimate goal of feeding those details to a downstream visual image generation model.
It is almost, but not quite, entirely the inverse of image captioning models.
This offers the closest experience to an image generation tool that's usable by people with visual impairments.

While the #GenAI news cycle keeps announcing new models, cost and evaluation continue to be crucial for both developers and businesses.

This post showcases #OSS tools that help evaluate models while keeping costs low. We include Prometheus by KAIST AI; @MozillaAI's very own lm-buddy; and llamafile.

Davide Eynard @mala shows how these components can work together to evaluate LLMs on cheap(er) hardware.

New bookmark: React, Electron, and LLMs have a common purpose: the labour arbitrage theory of dev tool popularity.

“React and the component model standardises the software developer and reduces their individual bargaining power excluding them from a proportional share in the gains”. An amazing write-up by @baldur about the de-skilling of developers to reduce their ability to fight back against their employers.

Like many other technologists, I gave my time and expertise for free to #StackOverflow because the content was licensed CC-BY-SA - meaning that it was a public good. It brought me joy to help people figure out why their #ASR code wasn't working, or assist with a #CUDA bug.

Now that a deal has been struck with #OpenAI to scrape all the questions and answers in Stack Overflow, to train #GenerativeAI models, like #LLMs, without attribution to authors (as required under the CC-BY-SA license under which Stack Overflow content is licensed), to be sold back to us (the SA clause requires derivative works to be shared under the same license), I have issued a Data Deletion request to Stack Overflow to disassociate my username from my Stack Overflow username, and am closing my account, just like I did with Reddit, Inc.

policies.stackoverflow.co/data…

The data I helped create is going to be bundled in an #LLM and sold back to me.

In a single move, Stack Overflow has alienated its community - which is also its main source of competitive advantage, in exchange for token lucre.

Stack Exchange, Stack Overflow's former instantiation, used to fulfill a psychological contract - help others out when you can, for the expectation that others may in turn assist you in the future. Now it's not an exchange, it's #enshittification.

Programmers now join artists and copywriters, whose works have been snaffled up to create #GenAI solutions.

The silver lining I see is that once OpenAI creates LLMs that generate code - like Microsoft has done with Copilot on GitHub - where will they go to get help with the bugs that the generative AI models introduce, particularly, given the recent GitClear report, of the "downward pressure on code quality" caused by these tools?

While this is just one more example of #enshittification, it's also a salient lesson for #DevRel folks - if your community is your source of advantage, don't upset them.
