Congratulations to Harvard University History of Science doctoral candidate Aaron Gluck-Thaler on the 2024-25 CBI Tomash Fellowship. We are thrilled to have Aaron as a fellow in the upcoming academic year! #ai#artificialintelligence#surveillance#science#tech#history
Now, that being said, here's some GOOD uses of AI:
Correct grammar/spelling/word usage
Summarizing long form text
Suggestions for a wide variety of things.
Searching (Fuck you google)
DnD gamerunning, either assisted or as an actual DM (this one I am probably misrepresenting, unfortunately. I am not an actual DnD player. So I guess I am wishing this😬)
Well, damn. Midjourney has opened it's "alpha" website to users who have generated over 100 images, which is probably anyone whose been apart of the platform for a week.
That means Midjourney's image generation is now on the web!
When it's finally not in "alpha" anymore, this will open up the platform to SO many more people who hate Discord or just don't know how to use it.
AI-generated books on Amazon now have the potential to kill people, as they've moved into the realm of mushroom foraging. Guides have popped up like, well, mushrooms, packed with information that makes no sense and could easily be dangerous, illustrated with structures that are "the mycological equivalent of a picture of a hot blond with six fingers and too many teeth," writes Vox's Constance Grady. Here's more.
“…the hardest kinds of errors to spot. They couldn’t be harder for a human to detect if they were specifically designed to go undetected. The human in the loop isn’t just being asked to spot mistakes — they’re being actively deceived. The AI isn’t merely wrong, it’s constructing a subtle ‘what’s wrong with this picture’-style puzzle.”
Still patiently waiting for Midjourney's next version or big update. I feel I ran V6 into the ground unfortunately...😬I need some cool features for inspiration🤣
This lawsuit is a minor headache for #Amazon. Allegedly a woman was fired for doing her job which was keeping Amazon’s #ArtificialIntelligence from using content illegally (probably copyrighted material).
Her boss reportedly did not like that “do-gooder attitude” & demoted her, before firing her during maternity leave. This case could open up lawsuits against Amazon’s #AI in the future.
I feel kinda sad for all the people still posting complaints about stuff they know won't go away or be changed. It's like if I went online and bitched EVERY DAY about not getting a million dollars, fully believing that by doing that I'll eventually get a million dollars....
Unfortunately that's not how the world works and people ranting about stuff like AI, thinking it's doing anything besides making them look like a crazy person, is just so sad.🤦♂️
It's not going anywhere. It really isn't. I'm sorry to break it to you like this. I hope you can move on and find something more important to spend your time complaining about.
EyeEm, a photo-sharing community once thought to be a potential challenger to Instagram, is now licensing its users’ photos to train AI models, Tech Crunch reports. The company gave users 30 days to opt out. As you can imagine, many of them are upset. Read more: https://flip.it/Yv2xV3 #Tech#Technology#AI#ArtificialIntelligence#Photography
