#GenAI is just a kind of weird summarisation of existing knowledge–like a novel interface onto a library. Human culture does not contain all the facts in the universe. GenAI is not in itself a means to advance knowledge; it's a means to retrieve certain kinds of information we already have. #digHum
Ursula Rosenbichler @[email protected] complains re people trying to fix AI with AI, also a laughable moment from Altman in the opening film as well as a bad thing I've heard in DE. They should read my 2024 blogpost #digHum specifically– Will generative AI be omniscient if we give it enough? No 1/2

"Quantifying returns on digital inclusion is not turning people into numbers. It's defending exclusion from the accusation there's no numbers." Sophie Woodville really said something more beautiful, but memory :-/

I was a bit late to hearing Bruce @[email protected] apparently read my slides at #digHum . Also repeating Moshe Vardi from yesterday too. (The utility thing I'm blogging about today because of some "interest" I got yesterday from the iaea.) Ironically, he's saying #genAI makes us all sound the same.
Meiner Meinung nach es gibt nicht genug #cybersecurity at #dighum
