Razer Ava physical AI Chatbot

Razer have finally outdone themselves with a product everyone has been asking for. Yet another AI chatbot, but this time in a physical device on your desktop, that is always watching and listening to you. Giving you input on what you're doing. What could possibly go wrong?

Why Musk is Culpable in Grok's Undressing Disaster | TechPolicy.Press

Grok’s functionality is not a black box, but the result of specific design decisions made by executives and engineers at xAI, writes Eryk Salvaggio.

Elon Musk’s Grok AI is flooding the social media platform X with user-requested images of non-consensually undressed women, including children. The resulting images—which are being generated at a rate of “about 6,700 every hour,” according to one analysis—can be viewed by visiting Grok’s X profile and scanning its replies and media tab. The response from xAI, which operates Grok and X, was initially to simply insist that “legacy media lies.” Since then, X’s Safety team stated that “[a]nyone using or prompting Grok to make illegal content will suffer the same consequences as if they upload illegal content.”

The corporate response implies that the system is a neutral tool, and that all responsibility for its outputs and the publication of problematic content falls explicitly on its users, who can presumably be kicked off the platform or even encounter legal consequences. But unlike tools like Adobe Photoshop or other generative AI systems for image and video generation, which generally do not automatically publish images generated in response to user prompts to the internet, Grok is integrated into a social media platform that publishes its outputs directly.

If it's user-requested, is it really flooding? Surely there's enough to criticize here without sensationalizing further.
 
Hmmm. X certainly seems to flood pornography.

I browse reel threads, usually, natural history, recipes, fishing stuff and nearly inevitably, a porn post will appear.
Sometimes it will be hidden behind a seemingly innocuous link, but just as often, hardcore stuff will appear directly in the reel stream.

It seems to me that this has become more frequent in the last few months

That is certainly true in the "financial world" and upper management currently with AI, but it's also a more general truth that applies to people well beyond the latest fad of AI.

Somehow I am reminded of a story by the late John Diamond of how he would try solutions like : his garden wasn't in great shape so he bought an irrigation system that he fitted round the garden to keep it watered. All will be well and all things will be well. What he got was a moist shabby garden.
As a long time programmer I am very aware of a certain type of programmer who thinks because he can write a program to help in a problem space that he understands the problem space. Much like Cummings reportedly thought that if he read someone's book on a subject he not only understood the book also the subject as well as the book's author.

My final message before I'm on an FBI watchlist: Palantir, Epstein, & The New York Times

ICE brings the hybrid warfare and terror we brought to Gaza back home. It's time to learn where it comes from, how it works, who enables it, and how to fight back.

article from former palatir employee on ai, surveillance, and the next generation of warfare.

The invasion of Venezuela is a perfect example of this kind of warfare, which has also been termed Fifth Generation Warfare (5GW) by military experts. According to Professor Armin Krishnan in his book Fifth Generation Warfare: Dominating the Human Domain, 5GW is the latest, most secretive, and difficult to understand form of war. Daniel Abbot’s Handbook of 5GW defines it as “an emerging theory of warfare premised upon manipulation of multiple economic, political, social and military forces in multiple domains.” This manipulation involves the oversight of all fighting domains — land, air, maritime, space, cyber, and cognitive — through what is termed a “common operating picture.” This unified view is made possible by Pentagon projects including Project Maven (which pioneered AI targeting), Joint All-Domain Command and Control (or JADC2, which connects sensors from across the armed forces) and software built by Palantir.

We can see in the invasion of Venezuela some hallmarks of 5GW, as offered by Krishnan:

  • Fifth generation warfare bypasses the battlefield and targets society as a whole, rather than its military forces.
  • Violence in 5GW is very dispersed or hidden, which makes it difficult to perceive as war.
  • Fifth generation warfare relies on covert or ambiguous means that hide nefarious activities or disguise them as benign or harmless.
  • The objective of 5GW is to overthrow an existing political order or change the culture in a society in accordance with the goals of the aggressor.
According to Krishnan, 5GW “shifts the emphasis from the control of physical terrain to the control of the human terrain and the human mind as a target of attack.”
