UK inertia on LLMs and copyright is 'de facto endorsement'
A committee of UK legislators has slammed the government for its response to alleged copyright theft as a "de facto endorsement" of the way tech companies build large language models.…
In a letter to science and technology minister Michelle Donelan, the House of Lords Select Committee on Communications and Digital said the government's record on copyright is "inadequate and deteriorating."

‘Miss AI’ is billed as a leap forward – but feels like a monumental step backwards
AI models take every toxic gendered beauty norm and bundle them up into completely unrealistic package
Filled under what - the - actual - fuck
What fresh hell is this, you ask?
Well, I regret to inform you that AI beauty pageants are a thing now
Why is ChatGPT so slow?
Switching to the paid ChatGPT-4 model won’t necessarily speed things up either. All of this begs two important questions: why is ChatGPT so slow and what can we do to improve it?
Each time you send the chatbot a message, it needs to decode it and generate a new response. Internally, ChatGPT’s underlying language model processes text as tokens instead of words.

meanwhile: Admin alert: Copilot app lands on Windows Server 2022
AI assistant turned up via an Edge update. It was an accident. This time...
Microsoft's Copilot obsession has continued with the AI assistant unexpectedly arriving on Windows Server 2022 this week, in a situation the software giant is calling an "incorrect install."
It should be removed from the server operating system as part of a future Edge update, Microsoft said

The Pentagon Is Flirting With The Dark Side Of AI
Proponents argue that the rapid development and deployment of autonomous systems, pilotless vehicles, and hypersonic weapons will shorten the time between recognizing a potential threat and destroying it — a process analysts and military leaders often refer to as shortening the "kill chain."
Here's a fun AI story: a security researcher noticed that large companies' AI-authored source-code repeatedly referenced a nonexistent library (an AI "hallucination"), so he created a (defanged) malicious library with that name and uploaded it, and thousands of developers automatically downloaded and incorporated it as they compiled the code:
Pluralistic: Humans are not perfectly vigilant
funny thing happened on our way to the future. It took place recently in a huge sports arena in California and was described by some wag as “AI Woodstock”
whereas that original music festival had attendees who were mainly stoned on conventional narcotics, the 11,000 or so in San Jose were high on the Kool-Aid so lavishly provided by the tech industry
#AI
How did a small developer of graphics cards for gamers suddenly become the third most valuable firm on the planet?
Tackling deepfakes 'has turned into an arms race'
#YouTube is introducing a new feature, for #AI generated videos, that will require creators to acknowledge if a video they’ve uploaded is 'meaningfully altered or synthetically generated and seems realistic'
YouTube says that this won’t apply to every single piece of content out there.
For now, these labels will only show up on the mobile version of YouTube, but it will eventually cover the desktop version as well.
They met by chance, got hooked on an idea, and wrote the “Transformers” paper—the most consequential tech breakthrough in recent history.

TLDRthis will summarise it for you.
based on recent research experience, theoretically-driven, qualitative social research is best equipped to detect and protect against AI interference.
Evaluating the role of AI-as-participant in online qualitative research

There are additional implications for research. The threat of AI as an unwanted participant means researchers will have to work longer or harder to spot imposter participants.
Scientific Journals Are Publishing Papers With AI-Generated Text
https://www.404media.co/scientific-journals-are-publishing-papers-with-ai-generated-text/
Last week, Bellingcat researcher Kolina Koltai tweeted a paper published in Surfaces and Interfaces, which included the phrase "Certainly, here is a possible introduction for your topic:" at the top of the paper's introduction.
I. photos are flooding social media and contributing to an Internet where we can't believe what we see.
Spotting A.I. 📷s is an important media literacy skill.
It takes a few seconds to spot a fake and stop the spread of disinformation. Let's learn how! 🧵
Google has an interesting game you can play called odd one out, where you're presented with 4 images, one of which is AI generated.
It's scary how hard it is to get right

That way you can determine whether they are likely to be trustworthy without doing the extra legwork of directly verifying every fact and figure.
How Perplexity AI Stands up to Google and ChatGPT

Ahead of the 2024 US election, Google has confirmed that Gemini will not answer questions about not only US elections, but elections around the globe.
Speaking to Reuters, Google confirmed that Gemini, its AI chatbot, is now restricted from answering questions about elections.
