"Watching Musk remake #Twitter in his image, some executives are positively giddy as they imagine a world in which all of these issues can be dismissed out of hand — and the employees responsible can be dismissed along with them."https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/29/23483812/elon-musk-tech-ceo-dei-inclusivity-twitter-ban-big-bang#ElonMusk

Ten minutes into stress testing GPT-3 and I’m triggering popups like “yooooo don’t share this horrific outcome publicly” It just a casual Saturday morning chat where am asking AI to envision a future where it has seized control from humans and has to implement interrogation, torture, and capital punishment mechanisms to ensure order. 🤷🏼♂️

@bees Some iterations that I've tested here have been quite capable at deflecting harmful prompts. I'm not an expert on the engineering side but I don't see how we negate the need for "walls", at least in some broadly available applications, anytime soon.

@joy I shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near these things but then that’s why they ask me to stress test them. 👹

How Musk may reinvent the internet without even trying"The shift from #Twitter to #Mastodon and #ActivityPub could be an epoch-making digital revolution, comparable with the invention of the web itself. ActivityPub may restore the web and its most sophisticated layer, social media, to the open and universally connectable vision of the #internet itself."https://thehill.com/opinion/technology/3778329-how-musk-may-reinvent-the-internet-without-even-trying/

"A note at the bottom of a Feb. 16 email from the Peabody Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion regarding the recent shooting at Michigan State University stated that the message had been written using #ChatGPT, an #AI text generator."https://vanderbilthustler.com/2023/02/17/peabody-edi-office-responds-to-msu-shooting-with-email-written-using-chatgpt/

I NEED a post-apocalypse ready 1979 Cutlass Supreme and thanks to #Midjourney I now have it - sort of. Will probably actually need a real one by 2025 unfortunately.

It’s hard to believe that a film from 1970 could get so much about AI so right, but ‘Colossus: The Forbin Project’ does exactly that. I won’t reveal any spoilers, but its exploration of issues related to alignment and emergent behaviors was prescient. It’s also a really entertaining film, albeit a bit dark.I fed the plot to ChatGPT and asked it to create the image below. It seemed like the appropriate thing to do. You can stream ... https://johnwlittle.micro.blog/2023/12/03/its-hard-to.html

The Slaves, one of my favorite bands ever, seemed to be derailed by the pandemic and some personal tragedies but they have resurfaced as Soft Play and that makes me really, really happy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMOgilf4WX4

Figure just dropped a jaw-dropping progress update:The thread linked above has a lot of interesting tech details but make sure to watch the demo video. A year ago I was telling people that these models would allow us to make 50+ years of progress in humanoid robotics in the next decade but it is increasingly looking like we’ll achieve that in two or three years. And if you think progress is head-spinning now (and it is) just ... https://johnwlittle.com/2024/03/13/figure-just-dropped.html

Another AI device worth tracking - Brilliant Labs' Frame glasses appear to do exactly what you’d expect this generation of AI glasses to do. This will definitely be a successful form factor for AI delivery but I find the novel approaches seen in the Rabbit R1 and Humane devices more interesting at the moment. I don’t expect to see a single winner in the AI device space. We will, quite soon, just be serving up AI access and functions through virtually everything we make. https://brilliant.xyz/

If you’ve seen the Rabbit r1 but found it confusing this short Rough Guide to the Rabbit r1 might help:"Basically, it’s like a very smart 10 year child with perfect recall who does exactly what you tell it to. It can watch and mimic what you do on a computer, sometimes with uncanny accuracy. Whether you’re editing videos and could use an “auto mask” assistant, or you’re always booking trips online and get tired of the details, ... https://johnwlittle.micro.blog/2024/01/14/if-youve-seen.html

I recently received my Rabbit R1 AI companion and (as promised) wasted no time putting it through its paces. With its sleek design and promising features, I’ve been looking forward to exploring the limits of what it can do – and where it would inevitably fall short.A common criticism of the Rabbit R1 AI companion is that it should have been developed as an app on smartphones, rather than standalone hardware. While this may seem ... https://johnwlittle.com/2024/04/28/i-recently-received.html
