Sometimes I randomly think about how so incredibly *lucky* we are that Alondra was appointed OSTP Director when she was - the AI Bill of Rights came at such the right time & continues to inform everything from the EO & OMB guidelines to state and municipal legislation. Like, wow.

Apropos of today's news about the DHS "AI Safety and Security Board", stacked with CEOs like Sam Altman, this thread is (alas) highly relevant again.

In November, tech companies promised pre-release access of their latest models for safety testing. Turns out, they're refusing to provide it. Let's say it together - voluntary commitments do not work. We need mandatory requirements, not broken promises. politico.eu/article/rishi-…
Looks like that Sora balloon guy video that we were lead to believe was fully AI generated was indeed full of hot air. Lots of post work, no consistency between renders, they couldn't even adhere to a narrative, they had to work with what Sora spat out. fxguide.com/fxfeatured/act…

'There is a tangible concern that artificial intelligence (AI) tools and algorithms may harbour inherent biases, potentially leading to punitive measures that, fundamentally, could impart a sense of criminalization and psychological distress among individuals.'

"These models are truly approximating their datasets to an incredible degree" I've defended gen AI, but this stunning observation from OpenAI engineer James Betker (@neonbjb) would seem to bode poorly for the idea the tech doesn't infringe copyright on its training data.

I have now gotten a chatbot + video avatar called "Father Justin" to claim it is ordained (by an actual living human bishop) & that it can take my confession, absolve me, & marry me. Please, people, do not launch chatbots without understanding how they work. 1/2

LLMs, by nature, predict the middle of the bell curve. Many of those suggestions are useful indicators of what to avoid. That being said, search + knowledge retrieval over hundreds of personal notes is just fantastic.
"Idea bouncing with mindless statistical models"--a wonderfully absurd and caustic description of the idea of using LLMs as sounding boards. I do think the sport can be useful and stimulating, but I spend more time on here and elsewhere hoping the messages are coming from humans.
@EnglishOER Though it's fair to say that we should not rule out that some ppl to genuinely enjoy idea-bouncing w/ "mindless" stats models of this scale and find it useful for their practice. Precise language really does help & it's always worth remembering... /5
My daughter is home from university and is playing the piano again and the dog is singing along again to the music wafting through the house again and I just love it all.
@CriticalAI @james_s_bedford @TomEMullaney @neilturkewitz @sam_lavigne with the next election. But even if enough people truly concerned about society and the future are in power, AI is still a looming threat as long as the individuals and corporations controlling it don't care about harms done. 16
@CriticalAI @james_s_bedford @TomEMullaney @neilturkewitz @sam_lavigne He obviously didn't care how much harm it would do to education, and it's hard to believe he cares about any other harm the AI he's peddling might do. I've always been primarily concerned with politics, and what could go wrong 15
@CriticalAI @james_s_bedford @TomEMullaney @neilturkewitz @sam_lavigne Which Emily Bender had responded to here. 13 x.com/emilymbender/s…
Okay, I read it so you don't have to. Here's a reaction thread to @OpenAI / @sama 's blog post from Friday "Planning for AGI and beyond": openai.com/blog/planning-…
@CriticalAI @james_s_bedford @TomEMullaney @neilturkewitz @sam_lavigne And I had a good idea why he might've worried that someday he'd be the target of an uprising, since a few days earlier OpenAI had posted the blog I thought of as Sam's "We're taking over the world. Trust us." manifesto. 12
@CriticalAI @james_s_bedford @TomEMullaney @neilturkewitz @sam_lavigne He talked about being a prepper - gold, guns, etc. Mentioned possible threats: lethal synthetic viruses, attacks by AI, nuclear war over scarce resources. But at another point he asked a truly bizarre question. 9
@CriticalAI @james_s_bedford @TomEMullaney @neilturkewitz @sam_lavigne It's been a shock to see how quickly AI hype has swayed people, & how some AI "artists" have turned on real artists whose work was stolen. With AI proponents exploiting that, just as they exploit doomerism to distract from current harms. 6
@CriticalAI @james_s_bedford @TomEMullaney @neilturkewitz @sam_lavigne I've been following the problems GenAI is creating for only about a year and a half, first noticing how it was disrupting education and publishing. Then I started skimming Google News for everything I could find. 5
@CriticalAI @james_s_bedford @TomEMullaney @neilturkewitz @sam_lavigne I am used to discussing computers & ethics. My 1st experience online was 2 yrs moderating a forum on tech & international affairs, & I brought in as my comod a friend who was then with Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility. 4
"the development of academic capital cannot be delegated; if a student . . .‘delegates’their cognitive effort to an LLM, they risk the opportunity to learn how to navigate the academy successfully" tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10.10…
Growing more and more convinced that if you're going to find any use for LLMs as an aid to writing you need to have a robust and flexible writing practice that works without using AI, suggesting having students integrate AI into their processes without these conditions is flawed.
@EnglishOER Anna honestly my confidence in your judgment takes a hit when you categorically dismiss @bcmerchant concerns about "AI" bypassing thinking. This is kind of its point as a productivity tool, e.g. chronicle.com/article/im-a-s…
@libshipwreck This semester, I explained the value of this practice to my school-aged daughter. It isn’t kissing up; it is improving the conditions for everyone in the room.
As the semester comes to a close I just want to give a major shoutout to all of the students who periodically nod while their professor is lecturing. Those students don’t realize how important their periodic head nods are.
