I've just heard from academics that the MIT piece was a pre-publication working paper that invited feedback prior to submission to an academic journal. It was not a final piece. They are baffled at the criticism. @gossithedog.bsky.social

This is very funny, obviously. But it sort of reads to me as though the password was Louvre in 2014 (maybe a custom default from the mfr?) Doesn't necessarily mean it was still that when the heist happened. But still.

arXiv, a preprint publication for academic research that has become particularly important for AI research, has announced it will no longer accept computer science articles and papers that haven’t been vetted by an academic journal or a conference. Why?
A tide of AI slop.

This is an especially worrying statement when facial recognition can be inaccurate, biased, and generally make mistakes. Basing whether someone should be in the US or not, and ignoring physical media like a birth certificate, is ripe for disaster bsky.app/profile/jose...
New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.
