AI... A new dawn, or the demise of humanity ?

With all these serious articles, I thought it was about time to post some humour relating to the same subject

yeah, we have not seen any consequences yet
Let’s wait and see in 10-15 years when the “tablet” kids and “smartphone” kids are more active in politics…I have seen this on the news before… for “normal” (and I believe “better”) development of their kids, Silicon Valley tech workers are sending their little kids to schools where technology is forbidden. So, they can use their hands and play with the soil.

You know what, I’d fully support this notion. When my daughter was at school, they had interactive white boards, but everything else was from books and physical teaching. if you look at the kids now, it’s all technology, and whilst this does indeed prepare them for a world where technology dominates, it means they lack the basic skills that we (well, I…) had as kids where you were taught practical things like how to wire up a plug (in the UK, everything comes with a plug now because there were so many accidents because of incorrect wiring), repair something that is broken etc. - now, it’s much simpler to send it to landfill rather than repair it.
The kids of today have everything and nothing in my view. If the internet as we know it completely crashed out for a week (something that will likely never happen of course) and they couldn’t use social media apps etc., then how would they cope? The university of life tends to teach at a much slower rate, and without those fundamental basic skills, how would they survive?

Somehow, I knew it wouldn’t be long before AI was was being used extensively to produce indecent images of children. I find this sickening to the core.
The transport medium for this is WhatsApp, which, given it’s encryption, is a cause for significant alarm in the sense that tracking the perpetrators of these images is almost impossible. According to the article
Meta has defended the plans, insisting it has “robust safety measures” to detect and prevent abuse while maintaining security.
No, it doesn’t - it can’t even stop the most simple of things such as ensuring personally identifiable information doesn’t land up being provided to an unauthorized source.

An interesting take from Sky News from one of their own reporters asking if AI could actually do their job

@phenomlab wow that is very sad… they should add something like this to the handlers, so the moment it touchs human flesh, it stops immediately

@crazycells Yes, you seriously have to wonder about the existence of health and safety controls. That specific machine shouldn’t have even been powered on!

@crazycells That is an incredible creation. 5000 RPM, yet stops on 1/1000th of a second? I guess the only downside is that the saw blade and module are destroyed by the 10G impact, but given the $60 price tag, it’s effectively nothing.
And the fact that this guy is willing to use himself as a demo means he has every faith in his own creation, and there aren’t many people who can claim that.

@phenomlab I agree, actually it was the first time I have seen someone using their finger, previously I only saw similar videos with hot dog sausage as finger.
$60 is definitely no brainer. According to US congress, a human life worths $10 million, if financing a regulation is less than $10 million per life it will save, the proposition can pass as a law.

@phenomlab I wonder the specifics…
Article does not give much info except this paragraph…
Generative AI systems such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT have become increasingly ubiquitous in recent months - wowing users with their ability to create text, photos and songs but also causing concerns around jobs, privacy and copyright protection.
So, I guess it is mostly related to copyright protection and privacy etc.

@crazycells it does seem that way, yes. Although Sky News frequently update their articles so worth checking back periodically.

@crazycells I think the most concerning part of that article is this
Officials provided few details on what will make it into the eventual law, which will not take effect until 2025 at the earliest.
If that truly is the case, then how do we gain any comfort that what does make it into law is for for purpose?

@phenomlab I think this is thought to be main frame and base for future rather than comprehensive instructions. I wonder if it will change anything at all…
By the way, aren’t most of these AI repo open source? So anyone can use it the way they want?.. It is like saying “do not share copyrighted material” but they cannot prevent piracy… So, I guess it will be something similar with AI… I mean people will use the copyrighted books to train their algorithm and will not acknowledge this…
