Andrew KuchlingRecently I read AI SNAKE OIL: WHAT ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE CAN DO, WHAT IT CAN'T, AND HOW TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE, by Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor.The authors are a computer science professor and graduate student at Princeton, and they take a measured look at the current AI boom. They argue that predictive AI is largely a failure and faces inherent limits; systems to predict academic or social outcomes don't have enough data to work, and these situations probably hinge too narrowly on small changes (an accident, a random helpful encounter) to be predicted.AI-based content moderation also mostly doesn't work. It's unable to keep up with how language and conversations change; posters can use euphemisms like "unalive" to mean "kill" or "dead", and codewords to replace a word like "vaccines" in sentences like "I'm not getting my kids any cupcakes". (Though they seem much too forgiving about Big Tech's reluctance to use human moderators -- in its most recent quarter, Meta/Facebook has $28B in profits, a fraction of which could hire a lot of people.)The authors think generative AI is more likely to be useful, especially when it'll be overseen or checked by a human, and close with chapters on the ways reporting on AI is bad (too much reporting from press releases and CEO statements, too little verification of claims) and on the likely path forward. They suggest judicious regulation could support beneficial use of AI... but of course, we're not going to get any such thing from the Trump administration.<a href="https://dmv.community/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookstodon</a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/ArtificialIntelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ArtificialIntelligence</a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/computing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#computing</a>

FediThing 🏳️‍🌈Just found out about a 2009 TV film on retro computing called "Micro Men". It's a sort of comedy-drama about UK computer manufacturers in the 1980s, done on a tiny budget by mixing in archive footage.

ThibYou can't do anything without your phone or laptop, and your phone wouldn't run without American companies.

Enalys :enalys:Lol, I looked at the price of the RTX 5000 series. I mean, at that price, the 5090 isn't a gaming card anymore. Sure, Nvidia have a lot of trick in his sleeve, but gamer don't really need or use them. Plus I think they really profit from their notoriety to overprice their stuff.Good thing I switched for AMD in my latest build and got my GPUs second hand.Remember, you don't need an hight end GPU or CPU to play. Oh, and before everyone forgot, you know, Intel, they exist, they make GPUs now.<a href="https://mastodon.zergy.net/tags/Computing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Computing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.zergy.net/tags/InflAItion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InflAItion</a> <a href="https://mastodon.zergy.net/tags/NVidia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NVidia</a>
