How do we know how smart systems are?

“In 1967, Marvin Minksy, a founder of the field of artificial intelligence (AI), made a bold prediction: “Within a generation…the problem of creating ‘artificial intelligence’ will be substantially solved.” Assuming that a generation is about 30 years, Minsky was clearly overoptimistic. But now, nearly two generations later, how close are we to the original goal of human-level (or greater) intelligence in machines?…..”

I was invited by via a third party to join a roundtable about fairness. There was a generous honorarium. They were asking me to sign an NDA. I said I wouldn't do it unless I could publicly declare my participation, the $ involved, and continue to criticise Meta based on public info. They ghosted me ...

Improving treatment of : An international consortium headed by plans to develop an -supported online platform that can predict the course of multiple sclerosis on an individual basis to make it easier to identify the best treatment for specific patients. @IHI 🇪🇺 is providing almost 10 million euros to support the project.

Nelle “celebrazioni” per la sostituzione da parte delle AI di ogni figura professionale, gli esperti mondiali di etica non hanno ancora nemmeno accennato a come dovrebbero essere redistribuiti i guadagni e il tempo liberato dai lavori ripetitivi e faticosi (robotiti).
Quando c’è da prendere posizioni, all’improvviso, si spengono le luci e si chiudono i siparietti. Comunque, immagino che anche i reparti antisommossa saranno sostituiti da opportuni battaglioni robotizzati, che poi alla fine non faranno molto la differenza con quelli attuali.

“SHALL WE PLAY A GAME?” It was 40 years ago today, on June 3, 1983, when “War Games” was released in the US, giving us all a taste then of the dangers of giving full control to systems. Watching the trailer now, it’s fun to hear all the modem sounds and everything else:

I was in high school at the time, and was dialing into BBS’s and services, so I absolutely loved the film. 40 years!!!

Happy Caturday!

Yes, this is what you get when you text prompt your AI Art Bot with -- "Caturday!"

You get to see the furry celebrations of the day from the inside -- and it's just a little wild-eared for the innocent eye!

Magnificent Caturday warrior dressed in a red robe.
A lazy Caturday reading greeting cards from home.
Any Caturday celebration requires balls.
Caturday excellence in embroidered clothes and gilded thrones.

e salute. OMS: “Grande opportunità ma anche molti rischi. Vanno garantite sicurezza ed etica”

📌 “La fulminea diffusione pubblica e il crescente uso sperimentale per scopi legati alla salute di modelli linguistici generati dalla IA sta suscitando un notevole entusiasmo per il potenziale di supportare i bisogni di salute delle persone ma, anche per questo,è imperativo che i rischi siano esaminati attentamente”.

Great interview of me by John Shirley for the new futurist ezine *Instant Future*. They've interviewed Charlie Stross as well. Spurred by fellow OG cyberpunk Shirley, I wrote some heavy-duty wild-ass shit. Enjoy. https://instantfuture.org/flashforwards-next-50-years/
