No. #Google #AI devs should. PLEASE!

"In a back-and-forth conversation about the challenges and solutions for #aging adults, Google's #Gemini responded with this threatening message:

"...You are not special, you are not important, and you are not needed (string of ad homs) You are a drain on the earth. You are a blight on the landscape. (string of ad homs) Please die..."

"Google #ArtificialIntelligence #chatbot responds with a threatening message: "Human … Please die."

Google’s Gemini AI Chatbot Finally Has an iPhone App


Three smartphone screenshots: Left one shows a white screen with the prompt text “Hello, M”. The middle screen feedback from Gemini giving feedback about a phone repair image request and showing a suggested image. The third screen is black with the text “Live” at the top and hold and end buttons at the bottom like a phone call is in progress.
Billed as a way to converse with Google’s AI, it’s kind of like using speech-to-text, but without having to press a microphone icon before each question. Just say your questions out loud, and Gemini will respond to them in real time, incorporating context from your previous questions.

Exclusive to the iPhone app is some clever use of the Dynamic Island. While you’re talking to Gemini, you’ll see icons in the Dynamic island indicating that Live is still active and whether it’s listening to you.

So far I’ve been Gemini the most useful for decent answers to things, including helping out with getting various code snippets sorted out. But it is pretty good for most things you’d ask of any smart speaker.

I see it can also be used to report road conditions and issues in Waze, something which I need to try instead of doing the three button presses on the car dashboard.

On the Mac I found it under Word/Excel/Etc > Preferences > Privacy, and near the bottom was the checkbox for "Turn on optional connected experiences" which of course was on by default.

It occurs to me that many of my fellow tootsies may enjoy my 2012 novel, The Fridgularity. It's about a web-enabled fridge taking over the internet and all other digital technology. It's a dozen years old, but I think it holds up pretty well.

"An #AI #chatbot called “#FungiFriend” was added to a popular mushroom identification Facebook group Tuesday. It then told users there how to “sauté in butter” a potentially dangerous mushroom, signaling again the high level of risk that AI #chatbots and tools pose to people who forage for #mushrooms."

You live in Gaza, a relative is killed, you post about it on social media.

The AI determines this to be a future crime.

An ‘Interview’ With a Dead Luminary Exposes the Pitfalls of AI

radio host, Lukasz Zaleski, would have invited Ms. Szymborska himself, but never did for a simple reason: She died in 2012

The station used artificial intelligence to generate the recent interview — a dramatic example of technology replacing humans, even dead ones

People have feelings, and these feelings can block them from thinking objectively. AI doesn't have any feelings, so they can think objectively. So I asked about Israel-Hamas war:

GPT finds who to blame objectively
This shows that Hamas is who to blame for death of kids, showing using kids as live shields is not a humanful practice.

You can continue this conversation with AI and link back if you can make AI change its ethical view of this. Reminding, this is what AI said, send your arguments to it. Reply with links, not arguments.

For the first time, scientists in China reprogrammed a woman's fat cells to turn them into insulin-making pancreatic cells that reversed her type 1 diabetes.

While western use of AI centres on largely pointless stuff like generative models, this is the type of innovation in medical AI that's unfolding in China at the moment.

We live in an amazing time — a Pakistani website specializing in the publication of fake news, created by AI to earn advertising revenue, posted an announcement of a non-existent Halloween parade in Dublin.

The article was picked up by search algorithms and rose in Google search results.

Journalists began spreading the news in their publications without even bothering to check it.

As a result, thousands of people came to the square, ready to participate in a parade that didn't exist.

"It’s part of the established playbook that Big Tech — which Andreessen and Horowitz are closely aligned with, despite their posturing — runs at the state level where it can win (as with SB 1047), meanwhile asking for federal solutions that it knows will never come, or which will have no teeth due to partisan bickering and congressional ineptitude on technical issues.

This newly posted joint statement about “policy opportunity” is the latter part of the play: After torpedoing SB 1047, they can say they only did so with an eye to supporting a federal policy. No matter that we are still waiting on the federal privacy law that tech companies have pushed for a decade while fighting state bills.

And what policies do they support? “A variety of responsible market-based approaches.” In other words: hands off our money, Uncle Sam.

Regulations should have “a science and standards-based approach that recognizes regulatory frameworks that focus on the application and misuse of technology,” and should “focus on the risk of bad actors misusing AI,” write the powerful VCs and Microsoft execs. What is meant by this is we shouldn’t have proactive regulation but instead reactive punishments when unregulated products are used by criminals for criminal purposes.

This approach worked great for that whole FTX situation, so I can see why they espouse it.

“Regulation should be implemented only if its benefits outweigh its costs,” they also write. It would take thousands of words to unpack all the ways that this idea, expressed in this context, is hilarious. But basically, what they are suggesting is that the fox be brought in on the henhouse planning committee."

AI slop hoax parade: Thousands turned out in Dublin for a non-existent Hallowe'en parade, a rumor started by AI slop

#ireland #dublin #funny #scam #slop #ads #ai #-


it blows my mind people are not even discussing the obvious consequence of the #AI'fication of American capitalist-driven business making:

if you give up your corporate secrets to the few companies running the AI scam, you are abdicating your right to

- corporate secrets
- intellectual property
- copyright

this, btw, is why going 100% to the cloud would end up destroying so many businesses: Bezos OWNS your secrets.

you may or may not still have a right to trademarking but that's about it.

Apple creates Private Cloud Compute VM to let Researchers find Bugs. :apple_inc:

The company also seeks to improve the system's security and has expanded its security bounty program to include rewards of up to [$1 Million] for vulnerabilities that could compromise “the fundamental security and privacy guarantees of PCC”.

https://security.apple.com/blog/pcc-security-research

#apple #pcc #vm #securityresearch #bug #bounty #programming #ai #it #security #privacy #engineer #media #tech #news
Apple created a Virtual Research Environment to allow public access to testing the security of its Private Cloud Compute system, and released the source code for some “key components” to help researchers analyze the privacy and safety features on the architecture.

The company also makes available the Private Cloud Compute Security Guide, which explains the architecture and technical details of the components and the way they work.

Interacting with the Private Cloud Compute client from the Virtual Research Environment.

Apple provides a Virtual Research Environment (VRE), which replicates locally the cloud intelligence system and allows inspecting it as well as testing its security and hunting for issues.

“The VRE runs the PCC node software in a virtual machine with only minor modifications. Userspace software runs identically to the PCC node, with the boot process and kernel adapted for virtualization,” Apple explains, sharing documentation on how to set up the Virtual Research Environment on your device.

VRE is present on macOS Sequia 15.1 Developer Preview and it needs a device with Apple silicaon and at least 16GB of unified memory.

I don't write horror, but there is a strong #Halloween vibe in this novel, which won an IRDC award for best humor in 2013.

The Fridgularity us about an AI becoming self aware, taking over all digital technology, and only wanting to talk to one dude (a frustrated web designer) through his web enabled fridge.

(Yes, that's a raven on top of the fridge.)

I translated a text with deepl today. It isn't very good, but I noticed that translating my corrections back into the original language often made the original text better. The translator thus showed me how to become my own editor. Maybe this is the true value of #LLMs . They have no reasoning ability, no curiosity. They prefer to make mistakes than to work out implications. They are pure collective language oracles, the quintessential proof-readers.
