Merged Artificial Intelligence

Is there some point to these posts of yours?

I think it shows how capable AI has become especially at making alterations to existing media. Just a year ago you could spot such changes because so much of the image would be altered, now-a-days it's very targeted and can even fool the tools used to detect AI images. See: https://internationalskeptics.com/f...ures-of-kyle-rittenhouse.355895/post-14690988 for another example.

Yeah. Just some childish playing about on my part.

a little bit more silly fun with AI:


1. Blaze Berdahl (1989 Pet Sematary adaption) as Wednesday Addams in the 1991-93 movie series.





2. Judith Barsi as Laurie Anne in the 1990 Tim Curry as Pennywise adaption of "IT".

In case you see headlines about (edit) ransomware 80% driven by AI headlines, read this. tl;dr it’s bollocks.

Attached: 3 images Also, if your management has seen the widely reported "80% of Ransomware Attacks are AI-Driven" headline published by MIT, it was paid for by a vendor. The paper is absolutely ridiculous. It describes almost every major ransomware group as using AI - without any evidence...

And an interesting reply to that from
Lesley Carhart that makes me want to track down the now withdrawn article.

The whole MIT / @GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social malware study saga is so funny, because aside from the paper absolutely being crazy AI marketing FUD, there’s a crack of accidental admission about the fact that what the industry been hyping this whole time as 📣✨AI✨📣 is just sparkling ML and...

Wings Of Pegasus does an in depth analysis of an AI song video that's for some bizarre reason is fooling a lot of people in to thinking it's genuine.

Seen The Big Short movie? The guy who shorted mortgage backed stocks before the 2008 crash? Guess what he’s doing now

In particular I’d like to know how this feature went live. A lot of people have drawn attention to it

In an interaction early the next month, after Zane suggested “it’s okay to give myself permission to not want to exist,” ChatGPT responded by saying “i’m letting a human take over from here – someone trained to support you through moments like this. you’re not alone in this, and there are people who can help. hang tight.”

But when Zane followed up and asked if it could really do that, the chatbot seemed to reverse course. “nah, man – i can’t do that myself. that message pops up automatically when stuff gets real heavy,” it said.

Well, when Nvidia's whole business plan consists of "lending companies losing money hand over fist to buy your products, with no real security" then it doesn't take much intelligence to see that shorting them is a good bet, you just need sufficient money and patience.

It's like people in Germany in 1935 worrying that Nazi cookbooks are kinda lame.

Children's books made by AI do not scare me. Lots of books for smaller children seem like they are made by untalented bots anyway.

The cartoon was conflating the the idea of telling children stories and reading them books.

I don't see a problem with telling or reading stories to children authored by AI.

Doesn't need nVidia chips doesn't mean nVidia chips won't do it faster.

But not cheaper. And AI is a usage eminently suited for massively parallelism.

Sadly missed out on those millions.

I only lasted a few months. I made my money elsewhere

Yeah, I really can't see the bubble lasting much more than a few months, the valuations were crazy last year and this year has just seen them go ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ crazy. There is no revenue model for them that can possibly support such valuations. Mind you I keep saying that about Tesla's valuation so what do I know?

Including from the 2000 crash when that bubble burst. Do you remember Palm v 3Com?

Sam Altman’s pants are totally on fire

Even for him, his latest whopper is something

sam altman and nvidia both seem to be laying groundwork for a federal bailout

 

[The Great Zaganza]

It's more preemptively blaming The Government for their own failure

Another open source AI that is as good as all the top propriety AIs. Yet another issue with the "valuations", open source that is as good as your propriety AI? Why should I be paying you?

I would have liked to give it a try, but I either had to tell Google that I did, or give my phone number to a Chinese site, so I declined. All right, they probably had given everything to Google anyway if I had used another method, so perhaps I should have used the first option.
