Researchers developed a rival adversarial AI to trick the fearsome KataGo model into losing games.

This is a preliminary version of a document comprising ten statements, numbered from 0 to 9, which delineate the underlying principles, strategic approaches and aesthetic manifestations of the critical notion of ‘Algorithmic Sabotage’ within the framework of digital culture and information technology.

"rrrreflect Journal of Integrated Design Research" is a publication of KISDedition, the publishing department of Köln International School of Design (KISD). rrrreflect is a digital open-access journal that publishes outstanding works of student and faculty design research at KISD under the Creative Commons license CC-BY. It is published online and archived as a publication series by Cologne Open Science. With this design research journal, we open up an experimental field for textual and non-textual forms of knowledge, including image, video and sound. In doing so, we enter into a dialogue with the current discourse on the scientificity of design research and at the same time refer to the sensual dimensions of perception as epistemically constituting.

Researchers cannot always differentiate between AI-generated and original abstracts.

The glitches we often see in conversational interfaces like Alexa and Siri reveal to us the unique human ability we have to deploy empathy in conversations and social life. But in order for artificially intelligent machines to learn, more and more we must express ourselves in a reduced language and must simplify the complex range of human expression into something AI can understand. As we learn to live within the narrow confines of the computer, we will increasingly begin to lose the creative expressive potential of our bodies and language, writes David Berry.

Although the market for hand-drawn portraits largely collapsed following the invention of photography, there’s something magical about watching an artist create a lifelike image using nothing…

I took the free OpenAI course for K-12 educators. I found it shifted the responsibility to educators to discover how to use these tools in their classrooms while offering frames that prevented the development of a critical thinking toolkit. https://mail.cyberneticforests.com/how-does-openai-imagine-k-12-education/

For the past couple of years, a certain type of animation has haunted me. It's an AI-manipulated image that brings its human subjects to life by simulating speech, lip movements, and facial exp

What forms of criticism should be brought to bear on the pseudo-realist ‘photographs’ produced by prompts to AI programmes? Julian Stallabrass gets a bead on these thrice-alienated products of human image-making by framing them within information-science concepts of cultural entropy and philosophical considerations on déjà vu.

A recent surge of human-curated guidance is both a reaction against and an extension of the tyranny of algorithmic recommendations.

For all the promise and dangers of AI, computers plainly can’t think. To think is to resist – something no machine does

Nobel Prize winner Geoffrey Hinton said that machine learning would outperform radiologists within five years. That was eight years ago. Now, thanks in part to doomers, we’re facing a historic labor shortage.

Fascinating article about the as yet unpredictable changes AI brings to complex knowledge work. Here the case of radiology. The early predictions of displacement of humans by machines have not come to pass (though, as always, they have simply been pushed into the future). For me, this is the most interesting part, and one that I think applies quite generally. "Still, I have reservations about AI in radiology, particularly when it comes to education. One of the main promises of AI is that it will handle the “easy” scans, freeing radiologists to concentrate on the “harder” stuff. I bristle at this forecast, since the “easy” cases are only so after we read thousands of them during our training—and for me they’re still not so easy! The only reason my mentors are able to interpret more advanced imaging is that they have an immense grounding in these fundamentals." If you automate the easy stuff, it's much harder to gain experience necessary to do the harder stuff, This applies to any craft and all creative/knowledge work as an important element of craft to it. https://newrepublic.com/article/187203/ai-radiology-geoffrey-hinton-nobel-prediction

Bifogad: 1 bild 𝗤𝗨𝗜𝗖𝗞! 𝗙𝗘𝗘𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗧! Academic publisher Taylor & Francis recently sold many of its authors’ works to Microsoft for $10 million, without asking or paying the authors — to train Microsoft’s large language models! Taylor & Francis asked their journal "Learning, Media and Technology" to cut peer review time to 15 days — absurdly little time — to crank out more content. And Taylor & Francis's subsidiary Routledge told staff that it was “extra important” to meet publishing targets for 2024. It moved some book deadlines from 2025 to 2024. Why? To meet its deadline with Microsoft. Another academic publisher, Wiley, made a $44 million deal to feed academic books to LLMs — with no way for authors to opt out. They say “it is in the public interest for these emerging technologies to be trained on high-quality, reliable information.” When you publish with one of the big academic publishers, they try to make you sign a contract saying they can do whatever they want with your work. That means anything. Hat-tip to @bstacey@icosahedron.website for pointing this out.
