Interesting quote I read on X: "Don't quit social media Quit the need to be validated."
News brief: A new report co-authored by @DianeCoyle1859 is calling for regulation of “compute” – the hardware that underpins all AI – to help prevent artificial intelligence misuse & disasters. bennettinstitute.cam.ac.uk/blog/ai-hardwa…
Even if this AI trained on public domain video on TV, it will still be a powerful library to begin with. No doubt they currently have copyright issues which is why it isn't anywhere near public release. Still, the proof of concept is astounding. youtube.com/watch?v=NXpdyA…
Could this explain why the WHO is making a major power grab for all pandemic responses. A bird flu pandemic would be 10x worse than Covid. God saves us. Get your tickets to New Zealand while you can! bbc.co.uk/news/uk-656157…
This is fantastic. I wonder how many others will follow in her steps by offering permission. We could be on the brink of hundreds of amazing new songs sung by our favourite artists, but written and produced by other people with talent. Obvs there will be garbage. Just ignore.

I've managed to avoid an online scam my entire life. Until tonight. £1800 gone. Damn. Don't believe this website:muskai.net It's still running! YouTube hasn't taken it down for 10 hours @YouTube
we’re lying on the moon. here are a few models glued together — speech to text (@OpenAI whisper) to text (@OpenAI gpt-3.5-turbo) to speech (@elevenlabsio) — to recreate samantha from “her” in real-time.
The voting intentions of millions has been stolen in this data hack of the UK Labour party's phone database. Is it possible that anyone with this data could potentially swing the next general election in the UK? @mikebutcher theguardian.com/politics/2023/…
Yep. This is one of the largest failures of politicians using neo-liberal political economy ideology in the 21st C. Will they ever fix it? Nope, that's "socialism". Only after we end up in a situation like the HBO show The Last Of Us. Which is a post-apocalypse world.
It had to happen to Microsoft. The beta testers of ChatGBT had some issues when embedding it into their search engine Bing. Watch MKBHD's video and you'll see what happened. youtube.com/watch?v=7emz4z…
OpenAI's CEO says ChatGPT is going to "Break capitalism". Read this article and figure out whose is going to lose their jobs thanks to ChatGPT. Breaking the job market, not capitalism, and ChatGPT isn't done. New version coming out. Skynet vibes anyone? pcmag.com/news/chatgpt-p…
Break capitalism you say? Who will benefit? Some how I don't think it will be MNCs and the 1%. His tech is Poised to "break the employment sector". There, fixed it. futurism.com/the-byte/opena…
Don't tell me this interest you just a little bit. Perhaps even a touch of excitement. theguardian.com/world/2023/jan…
My 2 pence? It's the headsets. They are far too big for long sessions. In 10 years when they can make VR headsets like wraparound glasses connected via a lightweight TB3/4 cable, the Metaverse will take off. techmonitor.ai/technology/eme…

The UNFCCC seems unfit for purpose. They can't even control if private conversations and negotiations are being monitored by, well, have a guess. politico.eu/article/cop-27…
"Leicester disorder: Second man sentenced cites social media influence". That is like saying "man cites a phone for taking part in disorder". Is the mainstream media overtly demonising social media because they are losing all their market share to it? bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

I have informed the BBC that I won’t be appearing on MOTD tomorrow night.
The final months, and especially final weeks, of a PhD are such a psychological battle. Finding the reserves to keep going and improving when you feel like you have nothing left to give, and you know the stakes and standards are so high, is incredibly 🫠 But we PERSEVERE!! 💪💪

@mikebutcher The algo def amplifies signal for $8-blue checks. They go to top of convo threads, while earned-blue check signal seems downgraded. Combine that w/most people probably viewing twitter in the algo-curated "for you" view, and less of your followers are probably seeing your tweets

Pre-PhD I naively used to think all professors were especially intelligent & Oxbridge were the best of the best (while many are) I now get the exclusionary power of structural inequality & that society v. often mistakes super-charged motivated reasoning for intelligent insight.

Are any digital sociologists studying @Nextdoor? There's been a dramatic increase in polarisation on our local site this year, driven by the contentious closure of a local bridge to traffic but pulling in all sorts of other issues in the process. Is this atypical?
