Hey all!
Want to know what's happening in the Australian AI regulatory landscape?

I just published a summary of the two new govt reports, with some opinions of course!

I'm organising a conference on ethics and impacts around LLMs and GAIs and it is looking EPIC.

Following from a conversation on bird I asked #ChatGPT Qs about knowing, understanding, and being aware (see pics)

When asked if LMs have these, response:
"They are not conscious entities, so they cannot "know", "understand", or "be aware" in the same way that a human can."

My Q
If those that believe LMs to have the kinds of skills like understanding, when given words from the LM saying they don't understand, does that make their head 🤯 or is their technorapture robust to such paradoxes?

Yeterday at the art gallery I saved some of the descriptions of the pieces. Tofay I fed them into chatGPT and Stable Diffusion. Here is the result.

The gallery text: Working together towards a certain state of mind creates a kind of cosmic landscape, a mind galaxy.

Yesterday #Sydney saw the opening of a whole huge brand new building of the state art gallery and it is awesome!!

The opening celebrations were capped off by a drone light show telling some stories of the Australian Indigenous people.

The opening celebration activities are continuing through to next weekend. If you're in Sydney I highly recommend a visit.

Current AI lacks world-building context and imagination for encoding and decoding symbols. An example of human excellence in this area lies in the imaginative symbols of protest under context of an oppressive environment.
