Rewatching Silicon Valley and forgot there's an entire episode about one of them deciding to wear a chain
Wrote about my experience at TED this week, where techno optimism about AI was on full display. But there were also some cracks in the hype, and a desire to figure out what "the next big thing," in the field beyond LLMs will be. Gift link: bloomberg.com/news/newslette…
"The reason websites continue to load, bank transfers go through, and civilization persists is because of the thousand or so people living aboard 20-some ships stationed around the world, who race to fix each cable as soon as it breaks." @joshdzieza @verge theverge.com/c/24070570/int…
Another bit of the AI convo at TED (more to come in my newsletter this wk): @mustafasuleyman said we should think of AI as a "new kind of species," it's "clearly not biological in any traditional sense, but just pause for a moment and really think about what they already do"
Former OpenAI board member Helen Toner made one of her first public appearances since the November boardroom drama at TED Vancouver today. She called for external audits of AI companies, so that firms "aren’t just grading their own homework" More here: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
🚨Scoop from me and @BrodyFord_: Adobe has touted Firefly as a safe and ethical alternative to competitors like Midjourney… but it also quietly trained Firefly on Midjourney images. Adobe’s ‘Ethical’ Firefly AI Was Trained on Midjourney Images bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
"In its first report, Vals.ai showed leading models struggle on tax questions. The most capable model, OpenAI’s GPT-4, had a 54.5% accuracy rate. Google’s Gemini Pro was only accurate 31.3% of the time. In other words: Don’t fire your accountant yet."…

Here are some tips I've used to stay sane (and even mostly happy) when working in AI ethics. DAILY: - Do a peaceful activity that has nothing to do with AI (Gardening for me.) - Exercise - Take time to let your eyes look out into the far distance 1/
I feel like the trick to maintain mental health while working in AI ethics right now is striking a balance between caring deeply.... but not caring too much. Does that make sense?
