No mention of “AI” by Apple.They talked about “neural networks,” “machine learning,” mentioned “encoder-decoder” architectures and “Transformers” for language prediction but did not join the AI circus. I respect that.https://www.theverge.com/23749697/apple-wwdc-ai-machine-learning-new-features-chatbots-chatgpt

Tim Cook: “What people are now talking about are these Large Language Models. I think they have great promise. I do think that it’s so important to be very deliberate and very thoughtful in the development and the deployment of these because they can be so powerful that you worry about things like bias, things like misinformation, maybe worse in some cases.”https://youtu.be/YmOC7dK3rc0#AI #LLM #chatGPT

@StephZihms @Ruth_Mottram @thesiswhisperer Then again, most jobs are also mostly fancy algorithms and don't necessarily "generate things from scratch." I sympathise with this image, I even posted it myself recently (https://sigmoid.social/@chrisoffner3d/110479789229776370) but I just left an industry (visual effects for film & TV) where a lot of work that took many hours of human labour only a few years ago can now be done either entirely or 90% automatically, so I'm not ready to be too smug about the limits of LLMs.

@Ruth_Mottram @StephZihms @thesiswhisperer My whole life the narrative was that automation is coming for manual labour that requires less education whereas office-y mental labour is safe because it's "creative."Now we see that a lot of manual labour proves much harder to automate than many office jobs. I'm wondering if there will be a change towards highly skilled manual labour and craftsmanship becoming a safer career path while becoming, say, an accountant, will become a precarious choice.

@thesiswhisperer @Ruth_Mottram @StephZihms I think the overall trend isn't necessarily so much toward *less work* than it is toward *work that requires qualifications that are met by a larger number of people.*The more supply there is in a particular kind of labour(er), the more they compete on price, and the lower the wages employers need to pay them.

@thesiswhisperer @Ruth_Mottram @StephZihms If you can shift a lot of the work onto an underpaid and debased underclass, whom you constantly remind of their worthlessness because "anybody could do that job," you can save a lot of labour cost despite having potentially even increased the overall work required.

I can't be the only #Apple fan who finds their "This person is only alive today thanks to Apple." #AppleWatch ads a bit distasteful, can I?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b19w5cHUnPg#AppleEvent

Whoops! "Extracting Training Data from ChatGPT" shows how to get ChatGPT to leak thousands of examples of its internet-scraped training data.https://not-just-memorization.github.io/extracting-training-data-from-chatgpt.html#LLM #chatGPT #openAI #DeepLearning #AI #AIsafety

How reassuring that this needs to be stated explicitly to the machine learning community. 🫠

@kkarhan @vaartis Is that news to anyone? Valve has always invested much more into Linux gaming than Mac gaming.

Tested it myself and ChatGPT 3.5 refuses to answer it because it "is not directly related to [my] academic interests"? 😂 I guess penis-related questions are deemed irrelevant to computer science students. 🤓🥲ChatGPT 4 answers it just fine. A bit offensive that it uses inches instead of a civilised unit like cm though.#LLM #AI #chatGPT #chatGPT4 #openAI #GPT4 #censorship
