Interesting "McKinsey and Company, the global consulting firm with more than 30,000 employees in 67 countries, is embracing new generative AI tools in a major way: Nearly 50% of the firm’s workforce is using ChatGPT and similar technology."
Also Mckinsey mentions how people are using generative AI (4 Cs): Coding, Customer engagement, Creative content generation, Content synthesis.

The most pressing research problem in #AI is how to embed ads in LLM chatbots. If they had a solution for this there would’ve been much less talk of existential risk.

I find it interesting to watch the look on folks faces I explain that using #ML / #AI coding tools (#copilot, #android #studiobot, etc.) is like giving access to your code to an unhelpful coder;
It won't sign a company specific employment contract, NDA, etc., and so it has little accountability for what it gives you.
It can not help you learn about the problem domain, or what trade-offs and alternatives it considered.
It won't mentor you to be come a better programmer.
It is a tool.

On the topic of fear... I like to say that "where there is fear, there is profit". Because it's a powerful tool to drive impulsive behavior.
I invite you to read this researcher opinion on a talk that Sam Altman gave on an event:

She states that the fearmongering of AGI seems to be used as a way to drive attention away from actual risks. Therefore, attempting to drive public behavior in the way that interests them.

The Three Laws of AI
AI doesn't do things. Corporations will use AI to make money for shareholders. That's how we need to frame it.
AI doesn't think or feel. It's a category error to anthromorphise.
On principle, automation should lift burdens and encourage human flourishing. Stripping joy from creation is a particularly toxic use of AI.

Whoever thinks "document translation" can "easily be done by chatbots" and continues to describe #translation as an "entry-level job to break you into a field where you do something kind of useful, but it’s also sort of a steppingstone to the next level" is clearly hallucinating.

Why #AI Will Save the World a16z https://a16z.com/2023/06/06/ai-will-save-the-world/
So lately I'll be reading something -- maybe a blog post, maybe a press release, etc. And I come across a sentence that seems perfectly acceptable but just immediately strikes me the wrong way. I feel it viscerally, like a punch in the gut.
When I've been able to ask the author about the sentence in question, it turns out they've had help from chat GPT and the sentence is AI-generated.
Has this happened to anyone else?? I think I must have a highly attuned AI-dar. 😂
For the very niche community of friends who are both Gravity Falls fans and skeptical of #AI doomsdayism, this one's for you.
@ernie Well, I use Midjourney occasionally to create illustrations for blog posts (I've attached one I made for a post about the meeting industry and the Dobbs decision).
But I'm cautious about using the term #AI because it coopts the concept of "intelligence" in a way that is seductively misleading. LLMs & generative art software only exhibit a sliver of what I think of as intelligence.
There are deep reasons why we're so fascinated by what it means to be human.

I have a complex stance on #AI, and it should be familiar to anyone who has ever worked in a career in graphic design: It is a tool that can make things better, and I’m optimistic about it, but if you use the same tool for everything, the tool defines your work. 🧵

Seeing the recent rush of money into “#AI” I’m a bit disappointed I didn’t continue my joke “dog detect” “AI as a Service” website.
You could upload a photo and it would tell you if the photo contained a dog. Excellent for deciding whether to keep or delete a photo.
I was using Keras to train a model and I fed it a hand crafted collection of photos from my own doggie cam (Python running on a Pi).
The older bash + ImageMagick had a very similar accuracy to the fancier GPU model.

Most strikingly, despite enormous problems, people are a lot more upbeat, optimistic, and have taken their destiny in their own hands (they are not expecting our handouts, or our "help" to solve their problems) lest their lives are altered by catastrophes not of their creation. Contrast that with us in the West, we seem to wallow, and whine in catastrophism and pessimism. Where's the sense of optimism that literally made the US what it is? If we are ever going to change the world, we better start there, changing our mindset and being more proactive and having a sense of public commitment and not lease that off to the privateers.

People are way more aware and mindful in the usage and disposal of resources (water, food, waste etc.,), build tree covers, less/no use of single-use plastics etc., without thumping their chest that they are "saving the planet". Maybe as a consequence of the pandemic or otherwise, the levels of public sanitation, and cleanliness were the best I have seen. For us, in the West, conservation seems to be an empty slogan to soothe our heartburns!

How about overhauling the MBTA in Boston (supposedly one of the better mass transit systems in the US that looks even more like a joke) for example?
Before people give excuses as to why it is hard: Chennai is even more chaotic, ten times more populated than Boston and way more densely so, with more traffic and pollution, with an old transportation system that already exists, with as much contestations about property and homeowner rights (and all the cacophony of a "democracy"), much less money than here, much more corruption than here, and a much much harsher weather in which everything has to be built. If Chennai can create a stunningly modern, efficient and squeaky clean metro that is cheap (which no US city currently has), then our excuse can only boil down to lethargy, NIMBYism, rabid individualism, indifference, and lack of any will.
6/8
#India #US #West #AI #ClimateChange #SiliconValley #Technology #Politics #GlobalWarming #Energy #Chennai #Boston
So what is it that they are doing there, and we are not?
For example, in the city of Chennai (it's true for other cities in India too), they believe, including some level of political will and intention, that a modern, extensive, cheap, and energy efficient mass transportation and metro system is a necessity. To that end they have built several new lines that are operational, including overhauling old ones, and will complete several more new lines in the next few years. Not to forget, just Tamilnadu, the state in which Chennai is, already generates more from wind energy than any Scandinavian country.
Meanwhile our solution in the US is to talk about individual electric vehicles, autonomous self-driving, hyperloops for cars, AI for mitigating climate change, web 3.0, or whatever gets cooked up by the geniuses at silicon valley.

#India #US #West #AI #ClimateChange #SiliconValley #Technology #Politics #GlobalWarming #Energy #Chennai #Boston
While the weather was brutal (at least for me, having lived almost all my adult life in the US), the environment and resources extremely precarious, the political landscape chaotic, high levels of unemployment and inequality, decimation of the countryside, intensification of existing hierarchies (caste and otherwise) through the import of gig and app economies (thanks to the previous iteration of the "revolutionary" gift from silicon valley), people are going about their lives, adapting (and surviving), being creative whether it be arts or sciences (my mind shuts down completely in that heat), and most of all finding their own solutions out of this mess that they neither created, nor are perpetuating.
It hit me quite viscerally that we in the West are entirely unprepared to change or adapt and not willing to have the slightest changes/disruptions in our lifestyle. If people still hold on to the idea that reversing the effects of climate change is a possibility and we can continue our ways of live, they better wake up from that dream!

#India #US #West #AI #ClimateChange #SiliconValley #Technology #Politics #GlobalWarming #Energy #Chennai #Boston
The breakthroughs necessary to provide for decent lives in the face of global warming and climate change (which is already here, and not some tipping point in 2027 or 2030 etc etc.,), and modernize such a society is quite different and far removed from the technologies for which much of capital, hype, and attention seems to be directed at. So in what sense are these world-changing technologies beyond the usual march of capitalism into newer territories? If consumerism is the heart of revolutionary technologies of our era, where are the low-cost, energy and resource efficient, sustainable HVAC units, refrigerators, washer/dryers etc., which will qualitatively change peoples lives? Last I checked, almost no elite academic/corporate entity in the West is working on any of these. Some world-changing tech we seem to be working on.

It was quite refreshing and a much needed reset for me to view from outside the hype-bubble of AI (as this purported revolutionary, epoch-making or world-changing technological breakthrough), and witness its almost irrelevance and even be a detriment/nuisance to the day-to-day lives of people there.
AI in its best-case scenario can be a useful tool, far from the world-changing tech constantly beamed on social media and elsewhere, and it hits you really hard when you see people living in 100+ F weather almost constantly. The feels like temperature was consistently between 45-50 Celsius during the daytime with high humidity for the entirety of my stay and this now lasts months in that part of the world!!.
