Matt Walshe with an interesting Take on Googles absolute fail on its first incarnation of Gemini, its Ai to all things.
The startling thing is, thos AI software is incorpotaed into every peice of Alpgabet software.
You were warned.
Mick

What a terrifying video. I can't believe the massive fail of Gemini with its depictions Black and Female Popes. The interviews with the Google woman who apparently is responsible for this bollocks is equally disturbing. Truly madness.

This offers a very dense overview of what AI and robots are achieving at the moment. The rate of advancement is exponential.
All interviewees accept the genie is out of the bottle. The consequences of such powerful forces being unleashed ?

A different take on where AI is going in 2024. Can you imagine AI being far more effective than pilots in flying Fighter planes and in dog fights ? It's happening for real.
How about AI influencers on Instagram with hundreds of thousands of followers ? Ditto. And much more.

yes, one of the great advantages of Robots/AI is that they can pull as many G's as the structure can handle, they don't black out, they dont get fatigue, don'r need oxygen or pressurisation, don't need ejection seats and are expendable.

Not sure if a career as pilot would be a good call these days, although I am sure that no matter how safe and effective unmanned aircraft prove to be, CASA and the FAA will insist that real pilots sit in front of RPT aircraft just in case. For safety reasons of course.

And to take the blame when something goes wrong.

Much easier to blame "pilot error" that AI error.

AI isn't the problem. It's the greedy psychopaths that are in control of some of these companies.

Smart folk are just inventing ways to ensure most can't participate in the economy. Anyone can be a janitor, McDonalds worker, truck driver, or canned tuna packer. Not everyone can be a doctor or engineer. We need an economy where everyone has the opportunity to find available work at their IQ level.

By the time there are no low income, menial tasks left for a large percentage of humans, they'll revolt and kill all the engineers, doctors, lawyers, bankers and rest of the ruling class.

AI robots are just about putting people out of work.

AI robots are just about putting people out of work.

This right here sums up the AI revolution in reality. It's basically perfect slavery.

this quote in a chat sheet today resonates:

Nvidia reports earnings on 22 May, and if you listen to what Meta, Microsoft and Google said this week, then Nvidia’s forward order book is going to be off the scale.

Incidentally, the three Tech Titans above are Nvidia’s largest clients. The amount they are committing to AI is astonishing and historic.

An excellent use of AI and technology. The big deal on fires is detecting and dealing with them very quickly

Fire towers have long relied on humans sitting and waiting with binoculars. Now AI is taking over

Bushfire detection cameras that use artificial intelligence to recognise smoke are being installed at some Australian fire towers. They are replacing human fire spotters, scanning the horizon 24 hours a day.

AI is totally stuffing up human perception of physical reality. The AI created pictures of people challenge our view of what a person looks like.

How modelling agent Chelsea Bonner is taking on artificial intelligence to avoid 'cataclysmic step backwards' for industry​

Chelsea Bonner's fight against AI(Australian Story )

Link copied


Chelsea Bonner uploaded a swag of images of herself to an artificial intelligence (AI) app, asked it to dress her in lingerie and, hey presto, out popped "cartoonish anime pr0n version Chelsea".

AI Chelsea had none of the wrinkles or curves that Bonner, 50, embraces as part of the confident, savvy woman she is, a woman who has been at the forefront of promoting diversity through her modelling agency for 21 years.
This hyper-sexualised AI Chelsea was about size eight, with flawless skin, incredible abdominal muscles and faker than a knock-off handbag.

"It's sort of like the anime version of what men think women should look like," Bonner tells Australian Story. Even when Bonner prompted the app multiple times to put more flesh on the bones, more pores in the skin, AI Chelsea still looked foreign to the real one.

Meet the woman taking on AI, its 'fake' models and alarming beauty standards

Chelsea Bonner has been fighting to change unrealistic perceptions of beauty for decades. Now she's taking on her biggest foe yet – artificial intelligence.

Indeed.. There are thousands of websites with AI created content. As it gets "better" the challenge to separate AI from human will be practically impossible.

It's quite likely that very creative,original ideas by humans will stand out. But the reality of the WWW is that there is very little such content. Most human generated content is banal or just dumb or outrageous . Most people follow such content. The interesting creative stuff doesn't get many ticks.

If one wants to get content viewed and ticked by an audience just mimicking the banal, dumb and outrageous is spot on.

This story is scary. A bunch of cheerleaders and their families accuse a woman of creating deep fakes that cast the cheerleaders in a bad light.

But they weren't fakes at all. The cheerleaders were just lying to cover their xsses. So why did the police believe these were deep fakes?

She was accused of faking an incriminating video of teenage cheerleaders. She was arrested, outcast and condemned. The problem? Nothing was fake after all​

The moral panic following Raffaella Spone’s ‘deepfake’ video spread around the world. She talks for the first time about being the centre of a story in which nothing was as it seemed …

Madi Hime is taking a deep drag on a blue vape in the video, her eyes shut, her face flushed with pleasure. The 16-year-old exhales with her head thrown back, collapsing into laughter that causes smoke to billow out of her mouth. The clip is grainy and shaky – as if shot in low light by someone who had zoomed in on Madi’s face – but it was damning. Madi was a cheerleader with the Victory Vipers, a highly competitive “all-star” squad based in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. The Vipers had a strict code of conduct; being caught partying and vaping could have got her thrown out of the team. And in July 2020, an anonymous person sent the incriminating video directly to Madi’s coaches.

Eight months later, that footage was the subject of a police news conference. “The police reviewed the video and other photographic images and found them to be what we now know to be called deepfakes,” district attorney Matt Weintraub told the assembled journalists at the Bucks County courthouse on 15 March 2021. Someone was deploying cutting-edge technology to tarnish a teenage cheerleader’s reputation.
