Bank details, sex and naked people who seem unaware they are being recorded. Behind Meta’s new smart glasses lies a hidden workforce, uneasy about peering into the most intimate parts of other people’s lives.

"It is an uncomfortable truth for tech giants: the AI revolution is to a large extent built on labor in low-income countries. What we call “machine learning” is often the result of human hands."

Anthropic era l'azienda AI che aveva promesso di fermarsi se le cose fossero sfuggite di mano: una regola sola. Martedì l'ha cancellata. Lo stesso giorno, il Pentagono ha dato al suo CEO un ultimatum: apri Claude all'uso militare senza limiti o perdi 200 milioni e finisci in una lista nera.

L'azienda dice che le due cose non c'entrano. Può darsi. Ma il risultato è lo stesso: l'ultima che si poneva il problema di frenare ha deciso che frenare non è un'opzione.

Anthropic era l'azienda AI che aveva promesso di fermarsi se le cose fossero sfuggite di mano: una regola rara, certo, ma chiara. Martedì l'ha cancellata.

Scott Shambaugh—one of the authors of matplotlib—got hold of the "soul.md" file that the "operator" of the "autonomous scientific coder" wrote for his instance

As I guessed last week already, encodified, toxic and fragile masculinity. Disgusting. Imaging such a person on your team.

Probably Scott has better things todo, but I sent him a message a couple of days ago in support.

At this point, open-source development itself is being DDoS'ed by LLMs and their human users.

At the risk of being a bit gross: this is the software development version of peeing in the pool. If *one* person does it, it's gross but will probably go unnoticed. However, at this point, it's like having 100 people all lined up on the side of the pool peeing into it in unison. I don't really want to swim in that, do you? And now they've started eyeing the punchbowl and watercoolers too.

A screenshot of a post on Bluesky. The text: Remi Verschelde: @akien.bsky.social Honestly, AI slop PRs are becoming increasingly draining and demoralizing for #Godot maintainers. If you want to help, more funding so we can pay more maintainers to deal with the slop (on top of everything we do already) is the only viable solution I can think of: fund.godotengine.org quoted below that: Adriaan: @adriaan.games Godot's GitHub has increasingly many pull requests generated by LLMs and it's a MASSIVE time waster for reviewers – especially if people don't disclose it. Changes often make no sense, descriptions are extremely verbose, users don't understand their own changes… It's a total shitshow. #godotengine

It's strange and frustrating that most AI researchers don't seem interested in natural intelligence.

In the early days, when "neural networks" were seen as models of brains, many people seemed at least superficially interested in neuroscience. It's not like that now. I'm sure some folks would say "yeah, and aerospace engineers don't worry about bird flight, either!" but that feels wrong to me.

If all you care about is moving cargo, then sure, flight is solved, and who cares if our designs are "biologically realistic". Similarly, if all you care about is recognizing images, playing video games, and generating slop, then AI is solved. We'll just make the current solutions better.

But I think we've barely scratched the surface of what intelligence actually is! Current AI is so narrow and so shallow by comparison, yet I think people don't even notice that because they haven't actually thought …
