Ali Schwanke When faced with moral questions like this you should ask yourself “does this opinion seek to uplift or does it contribute to someone’s oppression / suffering” and you will have your answer

My husband found it very helpful when he was going through a very long period of job hunting. I don’t see what’s desperate about signaling what you’re looking for on a site that is built exactly for such purposes.

University land acknowledgements being put to the test.

Can't really think of a greater betrayal than calling militarized police on your students for doing their best in horryfing global circumstances.

Okay, I'm gonna stop doing things for other people and code now and no one can stop me.

Er, did this site remove the option to reject the bluecheck mark they marked people with? When I click through, it takes me to a generic FAQ page (help.twitter.com/en/using-x/x-p…) where it links me back to the Manage Subscription, in a circle.

By the way, if you want to analyze almost any current SOTA LLM, Hugging Face has a thing where you can super easily spin it up for a few bucks/hr, mess with it, then shut it down: ui.endpoints.huggingface.co
I'm kind of addicted.
Sorry clem 🤗 for the $20 bucks I've spent.

Everyone who keeps saying 'AI learns just like humans', as a sort of counter-argument to artists, realize that the 'AI' is controlled, operated and profited from, by another entity, right?

ICYMI Mozilla assembled an impressive set of voices - inlc. folks at Meta, HuggingFace, Github, EleutherAI, Linux Foundation, etc - to discuss the definitions & difficulties of AI openness.

Worth checking out - I still regularly reference the tech memo:

Sometimes I randomly think about how so incredibly *lucky* we are that Alondra was appointed OSTP Director when she was - the AI Bill of Rights came at such the right time & continues to inform everything from the EO & OMB guidelines to state and municipal legislation. Like, wow.

Meanwhile, in the Skies. Can anyone reproduce?
The foreseeable harm from this is a forager cook putting poisonous mushrooms in food they serve to you (and then the harm would be that you die). With GenAI, we must have special handling for poison & weapons, amongst other things.

Deepfakes are getting good. Like really good. I cloned myself for this story on Synthesia. It's soon going to be impossible to distinguish what is made by AI and what is not, and that raises some big questions about a world where we can’t tell what’s real. technologyreview.com/2024/04/25/109…

Ready for more Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000?
