I hope this isn’t been posted before especially by me. I do have a bit of pre dementia but it’s not too bad. It’s from my TBI but they’re working on weeding out bias from AI and making it so it’s not bad for us or to us.

Thought-provoking TED Talk on how AI can unintentionally reinforce societal prejudices, perpetuate discrimination, and amplify toxic behaviors online. This talk is a call to action for individuals, tech companies, and policymakers alike. By addressing AI bias and toxicity head-on, we can pave the way for a future where AI systems are truly unbiased, fostering inclusivity and equality for all.

Just as Ray Kurzweil predicted in the book The Age of Spiritual Machines.

The analysts cited Timothy Papandreou, an advisor to Alphabet’s research and development organization, X (formerly GoogleX), who explained at a recent event that A.I. will lead to a transition from a generation of programmers to a generation of “perfect prompters” as kids learn to utilize generative A.I. “assistants” throughout their lives.

Gen A won’t need programming skills to use their A.I models, instead they will work to properly prompt these systems with simple text to get the desired outcome, whether that’s finding information about Kafka for a school paper or writing an email at work.

Artificial intelligence today is spreading like wildfire. New and more powerful applications are emerging almost daily, and people are interacting with AI more in their everyday lives.

All of this is very exciting for modern enterprises, which have reinvented themselves as digital powerhouses post-pandemic. Still, digital transformations don’t happen overnight, and tech companies—and SaaS models in particular—were the saving grace of businesses sprinting to align their customer experiences with new consumer expectations and data-driven capabilities.

But AI is a different animal. Not only does it require huge sums of data, but it also requires a new approach to how that data is obtained and managed within the enterprise. Businesses expecting a simple “build it and leave it” experience with AI are in for a shock, and many will undoubtedly ask, “Can SaaS deliver AI at speed and scale?”

An artificial intelligence targeting system is better than humans at identifying valid targets, claim its makers, though the full results are classified.

I think an AI girlfriend or boyfriend would mess up your social skills and emotions/mental health. The article mentions other issues as well. It could turn some into “incels” meaning feeling resentful towards real women and possibly violent, not just domestic violence in my opinion but I’m not an expert but I’ve read about that a bit.

Chatbots such as Eva AI are getting better at mimicking human interaction but some fear they feed into unhealthy beliefs around gender-based control and violence.

I thought you could already use it through the web on your phone? In any case, I have an account in Windows under Chrome.

Two months after launching for iOS, ChatGPT is available to “pre-order” for Android users who want to take the ubiquitous chatbot on the go. If it’s anywhere as popular as the iPhone version, expect to see some big numbers over the next few weeks.

Of course any mobile user can access ChatGPT or other OpenAI tools via the web interface, but the superior experience of a dedicated app has proven extremely compelling, to put it lightly. iPhone users downloaded it half a million times in the first week, impressing everyone until Threads came along and blew it out of the water.

This is the future huh? As Long as it doesn’t replace journalists. If it entrances them that’ll be great!

Tech giant says AI-powered tool is not intended to replace ‘essential’ role journalists play in covering the news.

Chinese company Unitree has opened pre-orders on its second-gen robot dog companion. The Go2 can follow you around at jogging speeds, perform some wild gymnastic feats, and even talk to you through a GPT-enabled system that writes code on the fly.

As far as basic stats, this little robo-dog weighs about 15 kg (33 lb), stands about 40 cm (16 in) tall, and is about 70 cm (28 in) from … where the nose would be to where the tail would be? Its aluminum/high-strength plastic chassis can carry more than half its own weight as payload if necessary, and it’ll run for an hour or two on a battery charge.

Generative AI is gaining momentum across various sectors due to its potential to streamline workflows, automate creative processes and unlock new opportunities. From art and entertainment to healthcare and manufacturing, industries are recognizing its transformative capabilities.

It’s clear that generative AI is on the path to becoming a commodity. However, not all generative AI is the same, and it’s expected to split into two distinct categories: horizontal and vertical. Horizontal AI models, such as ChatGPT and Google Bard, are becoming increasingly ubiquitous—finding applications across various industries due to their generalized capabilities. On the other hand, vertical AI models are designed to be more specialized and tailored to specific industries—offering significant and more immediate ROI.

This distinction between horizontal and vertical AI models highlights the growing need for industry-specific solutions as businesses seek to leverage the power of AI to optimize their operations and unlock new opportunities for growth.
