Saleh Al-jafarawi was just killed, despite a ceasefire, by a militia group affiliated with Israel.
Friends of his are coming out saying he's been a target of this group for a while, and he suspected they would come after him.
Rest in peace, martyr of Palestine. 🇵🇸

It's comically easy to be an AI influencer.
You get to say the most outlandish things about how AI is going to revolutionise a field you have no expertise or knowledge in, and people eat it up and celebrate you.
There is no game engine here, Jim Fan does not even know what a game engine is.

This round of layoffs reminds me of last year's layoffs, which gave us this truly awful interview with the "CVP for Xbox gaming ecosystem".
She awkwardly tries to justify the shuttering of the studio behind Hi-Fi Rush, but the zoom out at the end kills any point she might have had.

They let the Claude LLM control a vending machine in their office, and people could ask it to order custom inventory.
The fact that they're "not sure why this happened" implies they have no clue how LLMs work, yet they are the experts in making AI.
It's a text correlation machine, not sentience!

I love how the arbiters & influencers of this tech have no idea of how the tech actually works. Like YEAH, the statistical extrusion machine trained on Ghibli movies & prompted with ghibli frames IS going to generate frames that are statistically similar to the movies.

The Trump admin is currently committing an AI coup, trying to seize all powers they need to go uncontested, and firing anyone who resists.
They want to replace democracy with AI decision making. Centralizing power in their hands.
Call your representatives!!! Do not allow them to ban AI regulation!

I tried condensing it to a skeet, but found my description is too simple.
it identifies what is in the image, then makes subtle adjustments to pixels that trick AI during training time to learn the wrong content from the image, with the wrong keyword.
The goal is to increase the cost of training AI

Dexerto is a slop machine. While clickbait is a fact of life for outlets, I believe Dexerto are actively making the web worse and people less informed.
They fan the flames of discourse and contribute to the right-wing outrage machine.

Pro tip: When you first open up Krita, go in to the upper right corner and click the square button. It's a layout picker, it might make it feel more like your setup by hiding the unimportant bits.

Fatima Hassouna, heroic photographer killed by Israeli airstrike.
Though no malice was intended, News websites like @theguardian.com and @vg.no have subtly whitewashed her etnicity by using an AI Upscaled image.
Rest in power. You can find her real work here:

People who claim "AI Training in Japan is legal" are spreading missinfo.
There's a LOT of nuance to Article 30-4 & the Copyright exception doesn't apply "in cases that would unreasonably prejudice the interests of the copyright holder."
This is echoes the international Berne Convention Article 9(2)

Humans care for the rich, robots are forced on the poor.
The neoliberal fantasy of the oligarchs is coming to fruition by the way of austerity measures and spending cuts.
Why pay for actual human support if a robot can tick the checkbox.

I read the government cost/benefit analysis, & 1 of 3 supposed "benefits" of the opt-out scheme for creators is just "lower legal costs".
Yeah no shit, you removed their legal rights! Of course they won't be able to pursue legal action! 😂
Also, benefit 1 & 3 are just the same worded differently?

The absolute hubris of OpenAI employees.
Not only do they train their AI models on Wikipedia, but they also suggest we should replace Wikipedia with their privately owned costly models.
And because people are hard to align?! Double-whammy of lowering humans to the level of AI.

Things in the legal world move at a snails pace 🐌, but we keep seeing government action slowly but surely being taken against AI companies.

Whenever Sam tweets something like this, a raving section of his fanbase becomes fearful that we are on the precipice of AGI. Altman loves to stoke those flames.
The remaining fans just copy-paste what ChatGPT regurgitated about the topic (in this case, the singularity). 😅

This take from her is correct: a bunch of problems of this AI paradigm is how it enables corporations to throw money at a problem in a way that doesn't necessitate humans: compartmentalizing human labour into a box that can scale up and down. We'll see how well it works in reality.

If you're worried about AGI and the o3 model, don't be.
This new series of models by OpenAI seem to be built on an architecture which takes exponentially more time to compute answers: notice the X-axis is on an unlabeled logarithmic scale 🤥.
They use deceptive tactics to hype the crowd.
