ChatGPT provides false information about people, and OpenAI can’t correct it
  • When they hallucinate, they don't do it consistently, so one option is running the same query through multiple times (with different "expert" base prompts), or through different LLMs and then rejecting it as "I don't know" if there's too much disagreement between them. The Q* approach is similar, but baked in. This should dramatically reduce hallucinations.

    Edit: added bit about different experts

  • OpenAI Creates a Voice Cloning AI Tool, Not Available for the Public Yet.
  • Yeah, I'm surprised Google or another big player hasn't released something yet, or that the people like the IETF haven't had any RFCs or produced any practical standards. Now's the time to get market dominance. Perhaps nobody will react until the shit hits the fan.

    I mean, pgp is great, but in this day and age we need a simple standard people can use to sign media without a hassle and we may also need chain of custody in light of social media (edits and whatnot). Developers will likely need or want to build it into their software, so we need a standard. I don't think the pgp approach really worked for most people.

  • Joe Biden "drives me crazy"—Former Obama strategist David Axelrod
  • Don't be offended at the language - that's just friendly banter for an Aussie. You get used to it.

  • Plant-heavy ‘flexitarian’ diets could help limit global heating, study finds
  • You may not have discovered TVP yet. You should do so.

  • Organic Maps vs OsmAnd?
  • Oruxmaps is pretty good too.

  • 21.19°c New record for global sea temperature
  • The max on this graph is 21.2. Each year, the time when cooling begins is getting later. If it's anything like last year, it seems possible it could break 21.5. Where is this 21.9 coming from?

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Fractal universe theories have been proposed. I don't know many details myself, but just thought it was an example of how you can still have theoretically infinite detail within a finite system.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Fractals are infinite

  • There's probably a word I've been pronouncing wrong my whole life that I don't know about
  • No.

    automaton — Noun: 1. A machine or robot designed to follow a precise sequence of instructions., 2. A person who acts like a machine or robot, often defined as having a monotonous lifestyle and lacking in emotion., 3. A formal system, such as a finite-state machine or cellular automaton., 4. A toy in the form of a mechanical figure. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/automaton

  • There's probably a word I've been pronouncing wrong my whole life that I don't know about
  • I said automaton wrong for years. I said auto-maton instead of au-tomoton. I still cringe a bit thinking about it :-/

  • Are there any good alternatives to concrete/asphalt
  • Ferrock is an interesting new development. Stronger than concrete and absorbs CO2 when curing.

  • Google to cut thousands of search quality rater jobs after dropping contract with Appen
  • I was just looking at https://haveibeenpwned.com/ and it listed appen as a site that breached my details. I had no idea who they were or why they had my details. I guess this is related?

    Appen: In June 2020, the AI training data company Appen suffered a data breach exposing the details of almost 5.9 million users which were subsequently sold online. Included in the breach were names, email addresses and passwords stored as bcrypt hashes. Some records also contained phone numbers, employers and IP addresses. The data was provided to HIBP by dehashed.com.

  • When talking to people who dislike UBI about UBI, they'll often say both that 'people need a purpose in life' and that 'nobody will work if they get free money'.
  • That's UBS, Universal Basic Services, one possible alternative to UBI, but more likely, we'll end up with a bit of both, I think.

  • ‘Impossible’ to create AI tools like ChatGPT without copyrighted material, OpenAI says
  • Using copyrighted material is not the same thing as copyright infringement. You need to (re)publish it for it to become an infringement, and OpenAI is not publishing the material made with their tool; the users of it are. There may be some grey areas for the law to clarify, but as yet, they have not clearly infringed anything, any more than a human reading copyrighted material and making a derivative work.

  • OpenAI claims The New York Times tricked ChatGPT into copying its articles
  • Yeah, the ingestion part is still to be determined legally, but I think OpenAI will be ok. NYT produces content to be read, and copyright only protects them from people republishing their content. People also ingest their content and can make derivative works without problem. OpenAI are just doing the same, but at a level of ability that could be disruptive to some companies. This isn't even really very harmful to the NYT, since the historical material used doesn't even conflict with their primary purpose of producing new news. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out though.

  • OpenAI claims The New York Times tricked ChatGPT into copying its articles
  • Only publishing it is a copyright issue. You can also obtain copyrighted material with a web browser. The onus is on the person who publishes any material they put together, regardless of source. OpenAI is not responsible for publishing just because their tool was used to obtain the material.

  • What are your Android hidden gem apps
  • OruxMaps is an awesome alternative to Google maps. It does require some configuration to get Google imagery working since they were required to remove it, but there's also a huge variety of other online sources it can use (wmts etc), plus off-line maps, overlays. You can use your own maps from qgis or other gis software, and there's multiple navigation options. Tracks, routes, way points, and so much more.
