Lo de Gaza nos enseña que la verdadera amenaza de la Inteligencia Artificial nunca fue Skynet, sino la falta de escrúpulos de "personas humanas" con una "causa justa" en su cabeza una y capacidad de destrucción exponencial en sus manos. Hilo resumen del artículo más perturbador que uno haya leído nunca 972mag.com/lavender-ai-israe…

Me entristece mucho tener que difundir esto, pero merece ser difundido. Ya no encuentro palabras para describir esta crueldad, ni justificación posible.
Israel disparó a una multitud de palestinos que esperaban recibir alimentos tras llevar varias semanas enfrentando una de las peores crisis alimentarias en su historia.

1/5 📢 La Unió Europea està considerant una 'Llei de Resiliència Cibernètica' que pot tenir greus repercussions en el desenvolupament de programari lliure. Tot i buscar reforçar les defenses contra ciberatacs, la llei amenaça l'existència del programari lliure. #EU #OpenSource

👉🏻 Un cop t'hages fet un compte, comença per resoldre tasques obertes. Et recomanem que et concentres en un tipus de tasca, ja que són molt diferents entre si i així seràs més eficient 🔎.

Va nois/es si volem una IA oberta (no subjecte als capricis d'una empresa) hem d pencar una mica. Aquí teniu la més important esperant la vostra empenta i la podeu entrenar en català open-assistant.io/ca Som dels llenguatges amb més contingut pero encara ens queda un bon tros

I'm in the top 2% of users on StackOverflow. My content there has been viewed by over 1.7M people. And it's unlikely I'll ever write anything there again. Which may be a much bigger problem than it seems. Because it may be the canary in the mine of our collective knowledge. A canary that signals a change in the airflow of knowledge: from human-human via machine, to human-machine only. Don’t pass human, don’t collect 200 virtual internet points along the way. StackOverflow is *the* repository for programming Q&A. It has 100M users & saves man-years of time & wig-factories-worth of grey hair every single day. It is driven by people like me who ask questions that other developers answer. Or vice-versa. Over 10 years I've asked 217 questions & answered 77. Those questions have been read by millions of developers & had tens of millions of views. But since GPT4 it looks less & less likely any of that will happen; at least for me. Which will be bad for StackOverflow. But if I'm representative of other knowledge-workers then it presents a larger & more alarming problem for us as humans. What happens when we stop pooling our knowledge with each other & instead pour it straight into The Machine? Where will our libraries be? How can we avoid total dependency on The Machine? What content do we even feed the next version of The Machine to train on? When it comes time to train GPTx it risks drinking from a dry riverbed. Because programmers won't be asking many questions on StackOverflow. GPT4 will have answered them in private. So while GPT4 was trained on all of the questions asked before 2021 what will GPT6 train on? This raises a more profound question. If this pattern replicates elsewhere & the direction of our collective knowledge alters from outward to humanity to inward into the machine then we are dependent on it in a way that supercedes all of our prior machine-dependencies. Whether or not it "wants" to take over, the change in the nature of where information goes will mean that it takes over by default. Like a fast-growing Covid variant, AI will become the dominant source of knowledge simply by virtue of growth. If we take the example of StackOverflow, that pool of human knowledge that used to belong to us - may be reduced down to a mere weighting inside the transformer. Or, perhaps even more alarmingly, if we trust that the current GPT doesn't learn from its inputs, it may be lost altogether. Because if it doesn't remember what we talk about & we don't share it then where does the knowledge even go? We already have an irreversible dependency on machines to store our knowledge. But at least we control it. We can extract it, duplicate it, go & store it in a vault in the Arctic (as Github has done). So what happens next? I don't know, I only have questions. None of which you'll find on StackOverflow. (I write on AI from a technical and product perspective. If you find that interesting then please do follow me for more)

Amb tot el enrenou de comentaris sobre la IA aquests dies dona gust llegir una reflexió més pausada sobre com els avanços recents en IA poden ajudar a solucionar problemes cabdals al món. Gates diu que és la revolució tecnològica més important des de la interfície

The development of AI is as fundamental as the creation of the microprocessor, the personal computer, the Internet, and the mobile phone. It will change the way people work, learn, travel, get health care, and communicate with each other. gatesnot.es/3FIamPU

okay so AI can literally read our minds now. a team from osaka was able to reconstruct visual images from mri scan data using stable diffusion. first row is the image presented to the test subject, second row is the reconstructed image from mri data. wild.

I'm speechless. Not peer-reviewed yet but a submitted paper. The 'presented images' were shown to a group of humans. The 'reconstructed images' were the result of an fMRI output to Stable Diffusion. In other words, #stablediffusion literally read people's minds. Source 👇

And if you're a hacker and you want to see where we're coding it, you can watch it out at github.com/decidim-vocdoni/d… 🚧 It's still a Work In Progress 🚧 Made by myself with @ivanverges - and the Q&A and bug reporting of @_carol_romero and @ferranrego 🔥🔥

Yesterday we did a fun introduction into the world of the @decidim_org programing. You can do it too! Follow the instructions here: github.com/openpoke/decidim-… You only need docker and everything else is ready to hack! CC @CanodromBCN #hackaton #decidim

Un petit exemple de les males pràctiques de les xarxes socials: que una empresa de telecomunicacions demani comprar les dades personalitzades d'ubicació és acceptable sota els Terminis d'Ús de Twitter.
Replying to @stevekrenzel
I responded with some variant of “No fucking way”. There was no universe where I was going to help sell granular identifiable user location data. This led to more internal meetings. Legal said the request was fine – none of it violated the user ToS.
