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

  • @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 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…

    @crazycells yes, I think so too. But, even frameworks require some form of basis and to not provide even a synopsis of that makes me wonder if it even exists yet.

    This is interesting. Who knew that Deep Fake images also were the victim of poor Photoshop skills 🙂

    On a serious note, these AI generated images can be hugely damaging. Just look at the amount of times these fake images have been shared across social media sites. They say a picture speaks a thousand words - yet in this case, none of those words would have any true bearing or be factual.

    @phenomlab I agree… as once one of the greatest AI, internet and technology expert Abraham said…

    @phenomlab I guess there might be ways to solve this problem…

    Most logical way is that people should stop using social media as news site… But we all know that this will never happen… So, easiest solution could be tagging each shared caps or photo on the picture (not in the instructions) as “real”, “art”, “satire”, “ai-made” etc…

    @crazycells Exactly. A great analogy.

    @crazycells Great ideas, but people read news outside of social media? 😄

    @phenomlab this sounds like a technical error; because I have seen the same story being headlined as if “robot attacked human”…

    @phenomlab

    billions of dollars in damages are owed for “unlawful copying and use of The Times’s uniquely valuable works”.

    so, they create “valuable work” but they can only earn money out of this by suing others… lol…

    @crazycells interesting indeed! I do agree actually - it does say in the article that it was a programming error, and one machine out of three was left running when the other two were shut down.

    Yes, exactly. I’d be questioning the “valuable work”

    @phenomlab this reminds me old times when Uber came out… and arrogant NYC cab drivers complaining about Uber, how it is very bad for them…

    eventually public benefit should be taken into consideration by the court…

    @crazycells UK cab drivers did exactly the same!

    @phenomlab yes, I personally believe this version of the story… I am quite sure the accident is technical error… but you know how media is… they “love” spreading fear… so they intentionally spreading this news as “robot-uprising”… lol…

    This is brilliant. A chatbot encouraged to swear and bring its own company into disrepute.

    I’ve been using this service for a couple of days now, and it’s made my internet access so much faster. That alone is a plus, and I never thought there would be a contender for Cloudflare in this area.

    @pobojmoks Do you see any errors being reported in the console ? At first guess (without seeing the actual code or the site itself), I’d say that this is AJAX callback related

    Here is an update. So one of the problems is that I was coding on windows - duh right? Windows was changing one of the forward slashes into a backslash when it got to the files folder where the image was being held. So I then booted up my virtualbox instance of ubuntu server and set it up on there. And will wonders never cease - it worked. The other thing was is that there are more than one spot to grab the templates. I was grabbing the template from the widget when I should have been grabbing it from the other templates folder and grabbing the code from the actual theme for the plugin. If any of that makes sense. I was able to set it up so it will go to mydomain/blog and I don’t have to forward it to the user/username/blog. Now I am in the process of styling it to the way I want it to look. I wish that there was a way to use a new version of bootstrap. There are so many more new options. I suppose I could install the newer version or add the cdn in the header, but I don’t want it to cause conflicts. Bootstrap 3 is a little lacking. I believe that v2 of nodebb uses a new version of bootstrap or they have made it so you can use any framework that you want for styling. I would have to double check though. Thanks for your help @phenomlab! I really appreciate it. I am sure I will have more questions so never fear I won’t be going away . . . ever, hahaha. Thanks again!

    @justoverclock yes, completely understand that. It’s a haven for criminal gangs and literally everything is on the table. Drugs, weapons, money laundering, cyber attacks for rent, and even murder for hire. Nothing it seems is off limits. The dark web is truly a place where the only limitation is the amount you are prepared to spend.

    @Sala impressive. That’s actually a lot harder than it looks. I once worked for a trading firm in the 90s and a trader came to me with a corrupted floppy disk demanding I get it to work. Evidently, it had all of his trading positions on it and he had no backup and he wasn’t impressed when I told him that the chances of data recovery were less than zero.
