A few ethics-related issues, among them:
- Fact vs Fiction: This is rewriting history. Minimally, needs mechanisms in place (C2PA and/or watermarking) so future handling of GenAI images can be marked as such
- Consent: Likeness edited w/o consent
- Disclosure: People need to know

Definitely seeing more takes from people that are written by ML and ooft they are terrible and don’t fit in the conversation.

Unpopular opinion: you are not going to be *left behind* if you aren’t using AI at every available opportunity. If you generate value/good work/make an impact in whatever way that makes sense for your life, it doesn’t matter how you got there.

Come join a fun event with me and Ekin Karabulut !

🍻 'MLOps to LLMOps: What do we keep, change or add?' with Andy McMahon 🇺🇦 👨‍💻 🚀 🧪 🍻

Today, Andy McMahon, head of MLOps at NatWest Group, and guest lecturer at Oxford University is joining us at Beers with Engineers. The core questions that we will discuss with Andy in this session…

If you use the Internet, there's a good chance that every single time you connect to it, you will be using something that Daniel J Bernstein created (e.g. ChaCha20/Curve 25519). Come and hear from him on 8 May 2024: edinburgh-napier.eventcube.io/events/59310/w…

I've written a piece on a topic I'm very passionate about, MLOps!

At least once a year I come across the argument that 'scale is all you need: the more neurons a species has, the more intelligent it is; humans have over 2x more neurons than gorillas and that makes all the difference; future AIs will have even more neurons than us! If we give…

We need to continually question the ever-present horizon, the fact that 'AGI' is always 'just five years away.' This isn't uniquely an AI horizon, but it's one that has marked AI from the beginning.

The content of that hype is what inflates bubbles.

NEW: We have the University of Rochester's 124-page investigation report. A committee of external reviewers made an unequivocal finding: Dias falsified and fabricated data, and he committed serial plagiarism—including in his 2020 NSF proposal.

But just remember that e/accs are extinctionists. They're not on the side of Team Human--indeed, a crucial part of their worldview is the eventual (perhaps near-term) usurpation of humanity by more 'intelligent' machines. Don't be fooled by their use of the word 'progress.'

She’s absolutely right that we must liberate our imaginations & stop pretending/assuming that technology has some kind of manifest destiny, & that such destiny advances the interests of humanity. Our job isn’t to get out of the way of higher powers!
