I need some #math / #machinelearning / #AI / #physics people to confirm for me that the topology of latent space shows non-Euclidean characteristics. This is not for a technical project; I'm trying to understand just how well cultural theorists are using their mathy metaphors. Thanks in advance!

Over the weekend, did you see the much-shared story on Reddit by a supposed whistleblower?

It started like this: "I’m a developer for a major food delivery app. The 'Priority Fee' and 'Driver Benefit Fee' go 100% to the company. The driver sees $0 of it. I’m posting this from a library Wi-Fi on a burner laptop because I am technically under a massive NDA. I don’t care anymore."

Well, it was a fake.

Recently, I spent a lot of time reading & writing about LLM benchmark construct validity for a forthcoming article. I also interviewed LLM researchers in academia & industry. The piece is more descriptive than interpretive, but if I’d had the freedom to take it where I wanted it to go, I would’ve addressed the possibility that mental capabilities (like those that benchmarks test for) are never completely innate; they’re always a function of the tests we use to measure them ...

AI slop is threatening journalism by churning out clickbaity versions of original stories, capturing web traffic, and destroying readers' trust in media. NiemanLab's Ben Paviour takes a look at how it's proliferating, with the help of Google.

I was just watching a YouTube video with I presume auto-generated captions, and the speaker said "the world doesn't trust the US" but the caption read "the world doesn't trust the AI".

So there's apparently a survey circulating in which Discord is asking about people's opinions on integrating AI.

AI 时代，真真假假，如何判断一张照片真的就是拍出来的，而不是 AI 生成的？

一个叫 ROC camera 的公司从相机角度来解决，主要机制是在相机传感器附近装一个东西，这东西能够和传感器结合，用 0 知识证明保证照片的数据是从传感器来的（也就是拍出来的），另外还提供 SDK 来验证一张照片是不是这个相机拍出来的真实照片。

其实这个东西不是最新的想法，记得有相机厂商为了防止篡改就有类似的技术。

一个相机卖 399 刀，着实不便宜，HN 评论区对玩意儿也不太看好的感觉。

关键还不好看

“Studenten aanmoedigen om #ChatGPT te gebruiken? Ik val van mijn stoel als ik dat hoor.”

Luc Steels – de "vader van #AI in België" – ondertekende net als andere Belgische academici de open brief “tegen het onkritisch invoeren van AI in hoger onderwijs” van @olivia en @Iris.

Ik sprak onder meer ook met taaltechnoloog Katrien Beuls en computerwetenschapper @wim_v12e over hun verzet tegen genAI aan universiteiten.

⭐️ Prolog by Example 🚀

Written specifically for anyone who struggled with Prolog at university or finds the traditional courses impermeable.

* concepts over language

* short chapters, avoiding jargon

* each chapter has a small illustrative example

Learning journey is gentle, starts from simple fact querying, and progresses through deduction, recursion, the cut, negation and meta-programming (which isn't hard in prolog).

Last boosts: since this trend has only accelerated, I figured I'd re-share.

I was reviewing some older notes of mine from the event. This one stood out at the time and still does:

Meghan Wiessner and Nathan Ensmenger talked about FORPLAN, a large linear programming model the US forestry service used to generate forest use plans. They both noted its complexity and its shortcomings, how it did not take account of local knowledge and otherwise oversimplified forestry, and how it was divisive.

If you've never come across FORPLAN I recommend looking it up (this is good if you're OK with technical reports). It went into use in late 1979 and was controversial from the beginning. It relied on (then) largescale linear programming methods to determine how to manage the US's forests. Like so many efforts before and since, it set aside expert and/or local knowledge of the domain, made horrendous miscalculations, yet was treated as if it were making divine proclamations that must be followed. One of the early critics of it started a libertarian blog called the Antiplanner to argue against government land-use planning.

Computer theorists thus form a neo-mechanistic school of philosophy. Their tenacious defense of some grossly exaggerated claims of what computers can and will do is more understandable if we realize that they represent a school of metaphysics.

Have you ever noticed #BigTech "shadow banning" open and free platforms like #mastodon? Billionaires and Oppressive Governments benefit from 3 rich dudes controlling the narrative. Corporate powers will never willingly move to the #fediverse.

If a single Mastodon instance had wide spread #CSAM and non-consensual #AI slop porn like the recent #twitter scandal #Apple and #Google would disable downloads instantly.

"Yet, it turns out no one is buying Copilot."

"But why is Copilot’s growth and/or sales so bad? Well, one study tested these ‘agentic’ AIs, including Copilot, and found that they flat out failed to complete even simple tasks 70% of the time, rendering them somewhere between useless and an active hindrance.
The same is true for Microsoft’s cash baby, ChatGPT."

No shit, sherlock?

Oh, I forgot: #windows #windows11

Speaking of #CES, you may have noticed my coverage is very thin this year. There's a reason for this: I'm doing my level best to *not* give the oxygen of publicity to large language models and related "AI" tech this year.

An #LLM is not #AI. It will never be AI, no matter how big. Its output is statistical mediocrity at best, confident falsities at worst. The only ones worth using are trained on stolen data. Their environmental damage is staggering and growing, as is their mental impact.
