This is an inspiring story of hope and courage. While it is important to understand that personalised cancer vaccines can have serious limitations and side effects, and are still very complex and difficult to create, personalised cancer therapy shall be a strong priority in our world, instead of wars. https://theconversation.com/a-man-used-ai-to-help-make-a-cancer-vaccine-for-his-dog-an-oncologist-urges-caution-278735
A man used AI to help make a cancer vaccine for his dog – an oncologist urges caution

One dog, one vaccine, one data point. The story of Rosie is fascinating – but it is not yet evidence that AI can beat cancer.

Tre ricercatori di sicurezza hanno scoperto 53 MB di codice sorgente esposto su un endpoint governativo FedRAMP di Persona, l'azienda che gestisce la verifica identità per OpenAI.

Cosa emerge dal codice:
• Il tuo selfie viene confrontato con foto di politici mondiali tramite riconoscimento facciale
• 269 controlli di verifica, inclusa "SelfieSuspiciousEntityDetection" (la tua faccia è "sospetta"?)
• Segnalazioni SAR inviate direttamente a FinCEN
• Database biometrici facciali con conservazione fino a 3 anni
• Tag di programmi di intelligence (Project SHADOW, Project LEGION...)

La stessa piattaforma, stesso codice, gestisce sia la verifica per ChatGPT sia un sistema governativo che segnala attività sospette alle autorità federali USA.

the watchers: how openai, the US government, and persona built an identity surveillance machine that files reports on you to the feds

53MB of source code leaked from a government endpoint. 269 verification checks. biometric face databases. SAR filings to FinCEN. and the same company that verifies your ChatGPT account.

@marquisdegeek I am not sure which code you are refereeing to. Do you mean AI is unable to use libraries and modules? AI can use them the same ways software engineers do. AI written code is certainly less creative and sophisticated, but the code it writes is worth to be written, as long as it gets (as often is the case) the job done.
@marquisdegeek well, if you put AI in the reasoning, but you think the same for humans, we can agree that is not really innovation, but still, working code solves a problem, hence it makes sense to write it. But I think you meant to say that generating code with AI should be pointless. If this is the case, we disagree, as I think both human and AI code are useful even if not innovative. Would mind elaborating what you meant?
@marquisdegeek I respectfully disagree. New code is nearly never “original“, i.e. innovative and creative. New code gets the job done with existing tools. It is engineering, not poetry. AI is bad at extrapolating, but good at interpolating (it is just ML on steroids). Hence, AI is relatively good at writing SW, as writing code means “interpolate” in the space of functions achievable with existing tools and given instructions. Often AI lacks a good prompt, rather than the potential.

Large AI datacenter projects, like OpenAI’s multi-state Stargate project, have such a massive demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM) – generating massive revenue at the same time -- that many semiconductor companies have reduced capacity for consumer-level DRAM and SSD storage. As a result, demand may outweigh supply for at least another four years. Read more from @Gizmodo:

Think the RAM Crisis Is Bad Now? It Just Keeps Getting Worse

With relief now not expected until 2030, PCs and smartphones will just keep getting more expensive.

@proscience not being the author, I can say that in this case the sharing if for a laugh, rather that for approval. We shall add a third dimension, of "terribleness", but a 3D meme might not be easy to render 😊
