Artificial Intelligence

Good quote at the end IMO:

The greatest inventions have no owners. Ben Franklin’s heirs do not own electricity. Turing’s estate does not own all computers. AI is undoubtedly one of humanity’s greatest inventions; we believe its future will be — and should be — multi-model

The author argues that "by encouraging the use of GenAI, we are directly undermining the principles we have been trying to instill in our students."

OpenAl saved its biggest announcement for the last day of its 12-day "shipmas" event. On Friday, the company unveiled o3, the successor to the o1 "reasoning" model it released earlier in the year. o3 is a model family, to be more precise as was the case with o1. There's o3 and o3-mini, a smaller, distilled model fine-tuned for particular tasks. OpenAl makes the remarkable claim that o3, at least in certain conditions, approaches AGI - with significant caveats. More on that below.

It seems that when you train an AI on a historical summary of human behavior, it's going to pick up some human-like traits. I wonder if this means we should be training a "good guy" AI with only ethical, virtuous material?

Hello, I have some letters handwritten by my great-grandfather from the Mauthausen concentration camp in 1943/1944. Few of them have been transcribed by hand. They are quite a lot and really not easy to read (you can understand the situation) also if the pen trace is good and well preserved.

I am wondering if some of these new AI tools can help me transcribe them. I don't expect an automatic transcription, but any help would be welcome 😊

The economics of how tech jobs get created and how layoffs happen is worth understanding if you're not sure how AI might fit into it.

Media Bias/ Fact Check.

Executive Summary:

• Researchers in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) have optimized Meta’s Llama model for specialized military and security purposes.
• ChatBIT, an adapted Llama model, appears to be successful in demonstrations in which it was used in military contexts such as intelligence, situational analysis, and mission support, outperforming other comparable models.
• Open-source models like Llama are valuable for innovation, but their deployment to enhance the capabilities of foreign militaries raises concerns about dual-use applications. The customization of Llama by defense researchers in the PRC highlights gaps in enforcement for open-source usage restrictions, underscoring the need for stronger oversight to prevent strategic misuse.

You heard me, I'm curious, I know there's all those dumbass deepnude programs but has anyone actually tried to make a model that takes images of nude humans and puts clothing on them? I guess they don't have to be nude but that does remove a lot of variables in the generation.

I think it would be an interesting little tool to try out new looks you never would really mess with before
