AI chronicles
You need to understand how much companies abhor paying humans. They want nothing more than to pay for AI instead — because computers can’t unionize.
It doesn’t matter if AI gives the worst results ever seen — they’ll keep trying until they get something barely acceptable.
David • Coca-Cola’s New AI-generated Christmas Ad Is as Bad as You’d Expect
An LLM is trained by allowing it to adjust the connections in its neural network until it reliably gives good answers, a process that Hinton compared to “parenting for a supernaturally precocious child.” But because AI can “know” vastly more than we can, and “thinks” much faster, Hinton concludes that it might ultimately supplant us: “It’s quite...

Niantic’s data collection scale through Pokémon Go is immense, leveraging the game’s massive player base to gather an unprecedented amount of geospatial information. The company has processed over 30 billion images from players worldwide, creating a vast dataset that forms the foundation of their Large Geospatial Model (LGM). This extensive... See more

A coleta de dados de geo-localização feita pela Niantic, desenvolvedora do Pokémon Go, é, para mim, um exemplo de como somos o produto (neste caso, nossa localização em tempo real em um dado instante é o produto), e de como a privacidade de dados e dos seres humanos parece estar relegada a um segundo plano aqui.
What happens to our trust in media when our capacity to generate it artificially improves to the point where we can produce indistinguishable fakes?
This creates a wave of "Skepticism," leading to what I term "False Positive Reality." In this state, our pervasive skepticism makes us doubt even the real labeling it as artificial, simulated,... See more

You just need to use AI enough to get a feel for what you can use it for in your area of expertise. The most important thing to do is to get 10 or so hours of use with an advanced AI system. And to do that you just need to be a good-enough prompter to overcome the barriers that hold many AI users back. There are really two pathways to get started:

I guess I’m a little more LLM-skeptical than your average geek, but I read the list of features and thought: Would this sort of thing accelerate my mobile-device-upgrade latency, which at the moment is around three years? Um, no. Anyone’s? Still dubious.
Quite possibly I’m wrong. Maybe there’ll be a wave of influencers raving about how AI/GG

LLMs são mesmo necessários? E mesmo que sejam, seriam o selling point pra fazer alguém trocar de dispositivo?
