Nobody cares about "AI" (Chatbot: I disagree.)

Am I paranoid? This looks like AI to me, the entire catalog of her videos.

The background and faces seem pretty consistent. The thumbnails all make it feel suspect a bit, but mostly because the actual videos all seem to be in her backyard, but the thumbnails are all "Youtube Shockface" variety.

Which kind of feels like someone may just be assisting with it. Not that an older person can't handle Youtube, but the thumbnails definitrly have that "younger demo look."

On thenother hand, she just speaks strsight into the camera. Could be a deepfake of some kind over someone else. With minimal movement to make.it easier.

I did not watch close enough but another weirdness, even jist talking videos like this have subtle quick cuts where the spesker messed up and cut something, pretty frequently. At least, usually.

But there are some color gradient things from weather changes that suggest maybe no. I woukd have to watch more to say anything for sure honestly.

On thst same note, it seems like the weather does not change during videos. They seem to all be 30-60 mimutes, you would think there wouod be some.shadows from clouds moving occasionally.

Nvidia CEO Wants Tech Execs to Stop Laying Off Workers and Scaring People

At GTC, Jensen Huang was on damage control for AI.

gizmodo.com

AI is having a major PR crisis, and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is really worried about it.

As AI technology improves and leverages the underregulated space it inhabits to creep further into modern society, the risks it brings have become a major topic of public discussion over the past year or so. Due to the increased visibility of the risks of AI, from addiction to the technology’s role in warfare, there’s been a growing resentment of the technology, even leading to calls for AI chatbot boycotts and data center moratoriums.

Speaking to the press at the company’s GPU Technology Conference in California this week, Huang’s goal seemed to be to do some damage control for AI, while cautioning against AI doomerism and increased regulatory action.

“We have to make sure that we continue to inform the policymakers and not allow doomerism and extremism to affect how policymakers think and understand about this technology,” Huang told the All In podcast.

OK, maybe not.

Mark Zuckerberg Is Building an AI CEO. Will He Lay Himself Off?

After the metaverse fiasco, maybe it would be for the best.

gizmodo.com

Mark Zuckerberg is preparing Meta for a full-on AI makeover with more automated workers. He’s even building a personal AI agent designed to make executive-level decisions, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal. Don’t worry, though, he’s not going to fire himself. That’s a fate reserved for the thousands of people viewed as replaceable cogs from behind the C-suite glass.

Per WSJ’s report, Zuck imagines a future in which every Meta employee has an AI agent assistant working alongside them. He’s decided to start the buddy system with himself and is working with his AI team to develop an agent that will help him get information faster by providing more of an overview of what is happening across his company.

Meta’s head seems to feel like there is too much redundancy and extra layers across the company of about 78,000 people, and, according to the Journal, the AI is supposed to cut down on the need to have a question go through multiple people before arriving at an answer. Given AI’s tendency to hallucinate information or provide answers without clear sourcing to confirm its accuracy, this surely won’t have unintended consequences.

According to the Wall Street Journal article, Zuckerberg said "We’re elevating individual contributors and flattening teams. If we do this, then I think that we’re going to get a lot more done and I think it’ll be a lot more fun." I guess it will be fun to watch his businesses crash and burn from his serious mismanagement.

Wikipedia bans AI-written articles over policy violations

Wikipedia just drew a hard line in the sand on AI-generated content. The platform updated its official guidelines late last week to ban editors from writing or rewriting articles using large language models, marking one of the most significant pushbacks against AI content from a major information platform. The move comes as AI tools flood the internet with generated text, and Wikipedia's decision signals growing concerns about content quality and authenticity in the age of generative AI.

Wikipedia just became the highest-profile platform to reject AI-generated content outright. The free encyclopedia updated its official guidelines to explicitly prohibit editors from using large language models to write or rewrite articles, citing the technology's tendency to violate "several of Wikipedia's core content policies."

They're not looking to ban A.I. outright, but to limit how it might be put to use.

The ban specifically targets the English version of Wikipedia, though it sets a precedent that other language editions will likely follow. According to The Verge's coverage, the policy isn't a total lockout - editors can still use AI for narrow, supervised tasks. Large language models can suggest basic copyedits, but only if the tool "does not introduce content of its own." That's a crucial distinction that keeps human judgment in the driver's seat.

Major outgoing CEOs are citing AI as a factor in their decisions to step down

Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey and former Walmart CEO Doug McMillon have told CNBC that the next wave of artificial intelligence is a reason for their departures.

www.cnbc.com

Two major CEOs told CNBC in recent months that the rise of artificial intelligence contributed to their decisions to hand over the reins and step down from their positions.

It’s one of the latest insights into how America’s corporate leaders are sizing up the AI transition.

Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Thursday that his decision to step down from his role was influenced by larger “waves of the organizational momentum.”

“My job is also to think who’s the best team to put on the field to get the next wave done,” Quincey said. “And I concluded that, actually, it was time to put someone else on the field for the next wave of growth.”

I can see how someone at the top of an organization might decide they're no longer able to steer their company due to changes in the climate of their particular industry. But the head of Coca Cola is - let's say confused, by the coming A.I. wave?

When you let the shareholders run your company based on fads instead of trusting someone who might have somrnsense.

I am not sure if that is ultimately better or worse thsnetting AI run the company.

When I first looked at it, I didn't have the sound on. It definitely sounds digital. Also she sounds like the old lady Rose in Titanic.

And yeah, it has that weird cadence that I have heard in a lot of audio only AI stories.

I find I often use AI to ask dumb random questions I woukd have just sesrched for in the past, and I hate it.

I know it is wrong a lot, I know its bad for the environment, I know its stealing content, etc etc.

But the core issue isn't that AI is good, its that searxh has been terrible, for a while.

Like this morning, I have this random oatmeal I bought at Ross, and I looked it up to see what people thought of it or if there was some secret shittyness to it like it was actually some bull shit Mr Beast brand or something. All of the search results are just fuckimg shoppin sites, with multiple to Amazon and Walmart. Like, I get it, but give me at most one link to each domain.

Anyway, I am just irritated. Also, just to complete things, it was Red Tractor oatmeal, and a Reddit search shows people think its great and worth the normal price premium (its apparrently like $20+ a bag, I paid way way less).

Failed AI tractor company lays off all employees, abandons Bay Area headquarters

A Bay Area startup that set out to revolutionize global farming appears to have collapsed, burning through hundreds of millions of dollars, laying off nearly all of its employees and leaving disappointed farmers across the country.

Monarch Tractor raised over $240 million for its self-driving, electric tractors guided by artificial intelligence that debuted in 2023. That year, Time called the vehicle one of the year’s greatest inventions, and Forbes predicted that the company would become the world’s next billion-dollar startup. The company was later valued at $518 million. Now, the company has abandoned its Livermore headquarters after laying off its entire staff last year and warning it may “shut down.”

An A.I. tractor company. Oi...

Here's a rather scathing Instagram review of the tractor from California winemaker Patrick O’Connor:

Patrick O’Connor on Instagram: "I’m scared that upcoming AI in agriculture is going to be focused on robot application of agrochemicals rather than developing technology that eliminates chemicals in agriculture. ORGANIC 4 LIFE."

Testing suggests Google's AI Overviews tells millions of lies per hour

Is 90 percent accuracy good enough for a search robot?

arstechnica.com

Looking up information on Google today means confronting AI Overviews, the Gemini-powered search robot that appears at the top of the results page. AI Overviews has had a rough time since its 2024 launch, attracting user ire over its scattershot accuracy, but it’s getting better and usually provides the right answer. That’s a low bar, though. A new analysis from The New York Times attempted to assess the accuracy of AI Overviews, finding it’s right 90 percent of the time. The flip side is that 1 in 10 AI answers is wrong, and for Google, that means hundreds of thousands of lies going out every minute of the day.

The Times conducted this analysis with the help of a startup called Oumi, which itself is deeply involved in developing AI models. The company used AI tools to probe AI Overviews with the SimpleQA evaluation, a common test to rank the factuality of generative models like Gemini. Released by OpenAI in 2024, SimpleQA is essentially a list of more than 4,000 questions with verifiable answers that can be fed into an AI.
