[l] Neulich, in meinem "KI"-Vortrag, erklärte ich unter anderem, dass "KI", um in der IT-Security nützlich zu sein, Dinge prüfen können müsste, und dass "KI" nicht prüfen kann, was man ganz einfach daran sehen kann, dass OpenAI sonst ja einfach hinter ihre Halluzinationsmaschine noch eine Prüf-"KI" stellen könnte, die den Schmuh rausfiltert.

Können sie nicht, weil es nicht funktioniert. Und die sind ja nicht doof. Nur Schlangenölverkäufer, nicht doof.

Stellt sich raus: Doch, die sind so doof. Das wird natürlich genau so wenig funktionieren wie der Rest von deren Produkten. Und ihre Kunden werden so blöde sein, und einmal für die originäre "KI" zu zahlen, und dann nochmal doppelt für die "Korrektur"-"KI".

<

p>Achtet mal drauf: sie nennen es absichtlich nicht Korrektur sondern CriticGPT! Aus Korrektur könnte man ja ableiten, dass sie versprechen, dass die Korrekturen a) nur Fehler korrigieren und b) Fehler korrigieren. Beides wird natürlich nicht so sein.

Hey, vielleicht sind die doch nicht doof. Vielleicht haben die einfach nur gewartet, bis der Markt hinreichend verblödet ist, dass er für so ein "Produkt" reif ist.

Na dann… herzlichen Glückwunsch, lieber Markt. Gut gemacht.

Aber was rege ich mich auf. Ihr setzt ja auch Exchange ein, und Antiviren. Ihr mögt auch BSI-Checklisten. Ihr habt euch auch schon bei Blockchain und IoT verarschen lassen, und aktuell schwappt gerade eine riesigen Quanten-Verarsche-Welle über das Land.

Na macht ihr mal ruhig alle. Ist ja nicht mein Geld, das ihr da verbrennt.

Oh warte. Doch. IST mein Geld, das ihr da verbrennt. Fucking Hell!

Sutskever "Cracked" Team

Safe Superintelligence, Inc. seeks to safely build AI far beyond human capability.

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2024/06/ex-openai-star-sutskever-shoots-for-superintelligent-ai-with-new-company/

"We will do it through revolutionary breakthroughs produced by a small cracked team."

Now I think he probably meant a "crack" team.

The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48
Crack \Crack\, a.
Of superior excellence; having qualities to be boasted of;
as, a crack shot. [Colloq.]
[1913 Webster]

But maybe that was a Freudian slip. This all seems like crackpot nonsense to me.

OpenAI is currently seeking to create AGI, or artificial general intelligence, which would hypothetically match human intelligence at performing a wide variety of tasks without specific training.

Psychologists gave up on the idea of "general intelligence" decades ago. People have mental skills--many of them. There is no "general intelligence." That's why no one pays any attention to "intelligence" tests anymore.

What the hell is meant by "superintelligence" anyway? Computers can be programmed to do some things better than humans. For example, they can usually calculate much, much more quickly than human beings. Is this "superintelligence"?

It's time to admit that there is no artificial intelligence because there is no intelligence. There are only many different mental abilities. The word intelligence is not useful. Hence, the term "artificial intelligence" is also useless.

Scammers like Sutskever should be ignored. They certainly shouldn't be given money.

THE $320M SCAM!

The temporary pier that the U.S. military built on short notice to rush humanitarian aid to Gaza has largely failed in its mission, aid organizations say, and will probably end operations weeks earlier than originally expected.

In the month since it was attached to the shoreline, the pier has been in service only about 10 days. The rest of the time, it was being repaired after rough seas broke it apart, detached to avoid further damage or paused because of security concerns.

The pier was never meant to be more than a stopgap measure while the Biden administration pushed Israel to allow more food and other supplies into Gaza through land routes, a far more efficient way to deliver relief.

Corporations invested in #carbon offsets that were ‘likely junk’, analysis says

source: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/may/30/corporate-carbon-offsets-credits

#Delta, #Gucci, #Volkswagen, #ExxonMobil, #Disney, #easyJet and #Nestlé are among the major corporations to have purchased millions of carbon credits from #climate friendly projects that are “likely junk” or worthless when it comes to offsetting their #greenhouse gas #emissions, according to a classification #system developed by Corporate Accountability, a non-profit, transnational corporate watchdog.

So the capitalists really don't give a shit about anything for short-term #profit, even if #humanity is destroyed in the process.

Amazon ebooks: Are the Mikkelsen twins running a scam? Here’s our investigation - Vox

Amazon is filled with garbage ebooks. Here’s how they get made.
It’s partly AI, partly a get-rich-quick scheme, and entirely bad for confused consumers.

Something different today from the great political cartoonist Clay Jones.
An actual graph from the news, no cartoon or dialogue, just a comment.
Sorry, purists, it's X, but Clay resists posting to Fediverse, Mastodon, etc. (old habits?)

Anyway....
