🧬👶🔥 The egg used to be the start of life. Now skin cells step into the ring. Scientists in Oregon stripped them down, rewired the code, and made early human embryos. The promise is kids for the infertile, even for same-sex couples. But the road is long, the risks heavy, and the debate is only starting. #FutureOfLife https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4g2vyee0zlo

US scientists testing the technique say it could help people overcome infertility and potentially allow same-sex couples to have a genetically related child.

I had been waiting for a public conversation between these two.

4h is not enough ; I know their time is precious, but this is a good use of it.

They both gloss over the fact that our nervous system is bigger than just our brain, but I'm nitpicking.

How much energy could be saved by making our neural networks with numerical specs more efficient than IEE 754 (aka. José) ?

Perhaps there is hope. Using this medical case as an example, how explicitly do we limit AI's dominance, while still reaping the benefits?

"GPT-4 si è rivelato essere un sistema chiuso, nonostante lo spirito «open» che ha da sempre ispirato l’azienda – e il suo stesso nome. A colpire è stata soprattutto l’assenza di informazioni riguardo ai contenuti sui quali il nuovo modello linguistico è stato allenato e formato: le dimensioni dell’archivio, la provenienza dei documenti e la loro natura."

As of today 2825 persons signed #FutureOfLife petition to #PauseAI
No one noted that this website uses (a so called) #AI to 'fix' #accessibility. 🤡

We know in our community how these #overlay tools and the companies behind them are harmful

The #AI pause letter signed by #ElonMusk has fake signatures, and been denounced as unhinged.

That's physicist #MaxTegmark's reputation buggered. His #FutureOfLife institute behind the open letter should have known better, and its incompetence will hinder credible criticism of AI/Machine Learning.

Das #FutureOfLife Moratorium für 6 Monate #KI Stop spiegelt in erster Linie den harten Wettbewerb um Vormacht der Konzerne bei #LLM wider. "Waffenpause" bedient eher dystopische Reflexe statt über #BGE & Möglichkeiten von #KI für soziale Wissensgesellschaft zu reflektieren.
