Is Scout Just a Fancy Addiction Machine like Social Media?

The surprising part is that someone put the word in a memo. They wrote it down. (Or maybe Copilot wrote it and they didn't catch it?) What's not surprising is that this is the market strategy for an AI tool. Microsoft has a ton of money invested in AI. In many ways, they bet the company on the success of AI generally, and Copilot in particular, and the market just hasn't developed the way they expected. So, what's the next step?

Hallucination Is a Property of Deployment, Not of Language Models

Hallucination is not a defect. It is the predictable output of a training regime built to reward fluency over accuracy. The fix is not a better model. It is a different architecture.

Hallucination Is a Property of Deployment, Not of Language Models

Hallucination is not a defect. It is the predictable output of a training regime built to reward fluency over accuracy. The fix is not a better model. It is a different architecture. A researcher in Bamako, Niamey, or São Paulo opens Gemini and asks for a literature review on the Alliance of Sahel States — […]

Bright and early this morning I popped onto @BBC5Live's Wake Up to Money programme to chat to @seanfarrington about Anthropic's new AI model Claude Fable 5, which launched last night 🎙️

Is it safe to use, since it's technically a Mythos-class AI model, and there have been lots of cybersecurity concerns?

Also, this is kind of a full-circle milestone moment for me, as over 3 years, from 2017 to 2020, I would be on early shifts with @bbcbusiness transcribing interviews with guests for the BBC Business Live Blog (until the blog was retired), and now I've appeared on the show. Thanks for having me on! Younger me would be proud⭐😊

Kennt ihr Fedimap?
Eine Karte, auf der man sich als Fediverse-Freund freiwillig selbst verorten kann. Datensparsam, werbefrei, ohne Tracking, und man wählt einen ungefähren Ort, nicht die eigene Haustür.
Das Schöne ist nicht die Karte selbst, sondern was sie zeigt: dass wir hier mehr sind, als es auf den ersten Blick wirkt. Noch tragen sich leider erstaunlich wenige ein, gemessen daran, wie lebendig gerade das deutschsprachige Fediverse ist.

Eintragen läuft per privater Erwähnung an @[email protected], Befehl !in mit den Koordinaten, die du dir vorher auf fedimap.de geklickt hast.

Und wenn ihr im Großraum München auf der Karte nachseht, werdet ihr natürlich auch mich finden.

Von meiner Stelle ein danke an @Lioh!

One Community. One homelab. One less excuse.

the general vibe of this seems to be as of a good news story

https://www.wired.com/story/china-opens-worlds-first-wind-powered-underwater-data-center/

but i as usual clearly see & declare the glass half empty, not full

the Gaia virus species, humans, has already created the raging & escalating climate crisis, whose symptoms are not solely atmospheric heating, but also ocean heating... dramatically so. thus the bulk seawater #enthalpy is already much higher now than it was say 42 years ago. any plan to start adding additional heat energy directly to the oceans, as this plan entails, is merely compounding the existing problem... infinitesimally maybe for a single datacentre, but the arseholic techbros, oligarchs, & their puppet govts seem hellbent on squillions of new d/c all over the rock. be they atmospheric, or submerged, they all contribute further to climate crisis

the solution is obvious... repudiate this bullshit scourge of gen-ai shitfuckery, then channel all that ingenuity, money, & enterprise into urgently arresting the crisis

Fuck Generative AI, coz:

- largest theft of private IP in human history
- generates authoritative bullshit via unsolvable hallucination
- massive water & energy demands as climate crisis intensifies
