The US AI Safety Institute named Paul Christiano as its head of AI safety. Christiano is a well-regarded AI safety researcher who is well known for his prediction that there's a 50% chance advanced AI could lead to human extinction. If you want to stay ahead of the curve in AI and tech, look here first. Key points: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) named Paul Christiano to lead its AI safety efforts. Christiano is a respected researcher with experience in mitigating AI risks, but also known for his prediction of a 50% chance that advanced AI could lead to human extinction. This appointment sparked debate. Some critics worry it prioritizes unlikely "doomsday scenarios" like killer AI over addressing current, more realistic problems like bias and privacy in AI syste...

Programming, music, data science, film, literature, art, graphic design, acting, architecture...on and on there are now common themes across all: the real experts in all these fields saying "you don't quite get it, we are about to be drowned in a deluge of sub-standard output that will eventually have an incredibly destructive effect on the field as a whole." Absolutely fascinating to me. The usual response is 'the gatekeepers can't keep the ordinary folk out anymore, you elitists' - and still, over and over the experts, regardless of field, are saying the same warnings. Should we listen to them more closely? submitted by /u/alphabet_street [link] [comments]

DeepMind CEO predicts Google will invest over $100 billion in AI, surpassing rivals like Microsoft in processing prowess. Google's investment in AI may involve hardware like Axion CPUs based on the Arm architecture, claimed to be faster and more efficient than competitors. Some of the budget will likely go to DeepMind, known for its work on the software side of AI, despite recent mixed results in material discoveries and weather prediction. DeepMind has made progress in teaching AI social skills, a crucial step in advancing AI capabilities. Hassabis emphasized the need for significant computing power, a reason for teaming up with Google in 2014.

Source Adobe has unveiled new AI tools for Premiere Pro, which are expected to transform video editing. These AI tools aim to streamline various editing processes and enhance creativity. One notable feature is the 'Scene Edit Detection' tool, which automates the process of identifying cuts in footage. Another highlight is the 'Object Selection' tool, designed to simplify the selection of objects within a frame. Adobe also introduced a potentially controversial feature called 'Portrait Reframe,' which adjusts the framing of videos to focus on different subjects. The 'Portrait Reframe' feature has sparked debate among users regarding its ethical implications and potential misuse. Overall, Adobe's announcement signifies a significant step forward in video editing technology, leveraging AI to...

https://aiindex.stanford.edu/report/ Top 10 Takeaways: AI beats humans on some tasks, but not on all. AI has surpassed human performance on several benchmarks, including some in image classification, visual reasoning, and English understanding. Yet it trails behind on more complex tasks like competition-level mathematics, visual commonsense reasoning and planning. Industry continues to dominate frontier AI research. In 2023, industry produced 51 notable machine learning models, while academia contributed only 15. There were also 21 notable models resulting from industry-academia collaborations in 2023, a new high. Frontier models get way more expensive. According to AI Index estimates, the training costs of state-of-the-art AI models have reached unprecedented levels. For example, OpenAI...

I'm autistic, and thanks due to it I've basically lived a bad life. Statistically this is actually extremely normal for us. Thanks due to it I have GAD, CPTSD, and a few other things to include extreme memory problems. Anyways, after talking to Gemini for a bit I asked it for possible solutions, list them from most likely to least likely. And do not include anything illegal. It basically said, my choices is ​ Death Ignoring the problem Raw luck https://preview.redd.it/wfhcqs1fhuuc1.png?width=1641&format=png&auto=webp&s=573cd6b7ebb91695d20deca68101d391a9e7b6a9 ​ ​ It isn't wrong.
