An AI trained to psychoanalyze people analyzes Biden and Trump. Despite the AI system being called "Jung", it doesn't appear that it is trained on Jungian psychology specifically, but psychology generally. It gives Big 5 personality traits, with the addition of autonomy and altruism which he (Nathan Rice) considers not adequately captured by the Big 5. (There are a lot of traits that have been researched by psychology researchers that are omitted from the Big 5).

I suspect this is built by giving specialized instructions to a mainstream large language model such as ChatGPT, but I don't know.

Introducing Jung, your AI powered personality analyst!

This isn't important, just whacky. Two instances of Claude get connected together and asked to play "virtual CLI" (command line interface) to, uh, "explore the boundaries of cognition"...

"EyeEm, the Berlin-based photo-sharing community that exited last year to Spanish company Freepik after going bankrupt, is now licensing its users' photos to train AI models. Earlier this month, the company informed users via email that it was adding a new clause to its Terms & Conditions that would grant it the rights to upload users' content to 'train, develop, and improve software, algorithms, and machine-learning models.' Users were given 30 days to opt out by removing all their content from EyeEm's platform."

AI says: All your photos are belong to us.

In case you didn't realize the makers of GPT are just in it for the money,

ChatGPT maker OpenAI exploring how to 'responsibly' make AI erotica

People, even scientists, seem to think GPT and other LLMs are the shiznit. Many of my colleagues in cognitive science seem to think this and I am making myself very unpopular (probably losing colleagues) by speaking out against it.

But in case you needed any more evidence that GPT is a fundamentally commercial enterprise with no scientific merit, here you go.

GPT is business, not science, and not even real "AI". It is brute-force statistical learning whose database is practically the sum total of human knowledge.

Don't be surprised when it seems to know everything. It has been told everything.

Don't be surprised that people think it's "smart". People are fundamentally stupid.

#Artificial intelligence has already proven its ability to produce entertaining and sometimes surprising creations, from texts to images and even videos. But can it learn physics? Maybe even discover new laws of physics? Today, we will venture into the fascinating intersection of artificial intelligence and physics. Computational Fluid dynamics, machine learning and even computer game design are encountered.

Astribot S1: Hello World! 1x speed. No teleoperation. Stacks and unstacks cups. Pulls a tablecloth out from under stacked wine glasses. Puts away items into drawers and containers. Slices vegetables. Flips pancakes. Takes caps off drinks. Pours drinks. Irons shirt. Folds shirt. Hammers stool. Waters plant. Vacuums. Shoots trash into a trash can like playing basketball. Draws calligraphy.

No idea how this robot works. This comes out of nowhere from the Astribot company that seems to have just come into existence in Shenzhen, China.

Vidu is a Chinese video generation AI competitive with OpenAI's Sora, according to rumor (neither is available for the public to use). It's a collaboration between Tsinghua University in Beijing and a company called Shengshu Technology.

"Vidu is capable of producing 16-second clips at 1080p resolution -- Sora by comparison can generate 60-second videos. Vidu is based on a Universal Vision Transformer (U-ViT) architecture, which the company says allows it to simulate the real physical world with multi-camera view generation. This architecture was reportedly developed by the Shengshu Technology team in September 2022 and as such would predate the diffusion transformer (DiT) architecture used by Sora."

"According to the company, Vidu can generate videos with complex scenes adhering to real-world physics, such as realistic lighting and shadows, and detailed facial expressions. The model also demonstrates a rich imagination, creating non-existent, surreal content with depth and complexity. Vidu's multi-camera capabilities allows for the generation of dynamic shots, seamlessly transitioning between long shots, close-ups, and medium shots within a single scene."

"A side-by-side comparison with Sora reveals that the generated videos are not at Sora's level of realism."

AI may have a place in professional communications if used properly

For all its faults, ChatGPT “does a pretty good job” responding to customer complaints, Natasha said.

“One [response] was much better than what I would have done,” she said. But “it has to be checked ...you have to read through it.”
