An insightful read from @Techcrunch: A bipartisan coalition of thinkers has assembled something the government has so far declined to produce: a framework for what responsible AI development should actually look like.

Here's a good test.

Can any #AI make a *working* QR code based on a prompt. (That scans correctly for what you asked).

I bet they can make things that look like QR codes...

A Defense of Benj Edwards
Right up front, I want to emphasize that I have not suddenly decided in favor of LLMs. I don't think they're good things, I think they're mostly just the latest ploy by huge companies and the ultra-rich to gather up even more wealth and power to themselves, now to try to convince people, themselves more than anyone, that they don't need puny humans.

Front Burner is a daily CBC news podcast that generally focuses on stories relevant to Canada. Today they had Heidy Khlaaf, ex of OpenAI and Trail of Bits and currently at the AI Now Institute, talking about the application of AI to autonomous weapon systems. As you might guess, t's not a pretty story. But it's actually worse than I had imagined. #CanadaPol #AI

I haven’t seen this mentioned in all the chatter about the impossibility of truly open large language models.

I heard about this in an interview with Bruce Schneier.

The Swiss have built a non-exploitative large language model called Apertus:

[quote]
Apertus was developed with due consideration to Swiss data protection laws, Swiss copyright laws, and the transparency obligations under the EU AI Act. Particular attention has been paid to data integrity and ethical standards: the training corpus builds only on data which is publicly available. It is filtered to respect machine-readable opt-out requests from websites, even retroactively, and to remove personal data, and other undesired content before training begins.
[/quote]

https://www.swiss-ai.org/apertus

My memory of Schneier’s description is that they used idle cycles on an existing Swiss supercomputer, and I think also used renewable energy.

some of you may have noticed very weird outputs from the test command on elevensoft Ali images #discord #bot , particularly if you are testing with the #llama vision model rather than the Jemma 3 model. if this is the case, do not worry about this, it is a test response. sometimes it will respond normally, sometimes it will give responses that make no sense at all. the important thing is that it gives an output. if it gives an output, it is working properly. #blind #bsid #cloudflare #workers #ai
