Emotion artificial intelligence uses biological signals such as vocal tone, facial expressions and data from wearable devices as well as text and how people use their computers, to detect and predict how someone is feeling. It can be used in the workplace, for hiring, etc. Loss of privacy is just the beginning. Workers are worried about biased AI and the need to perform the ‘right’ expressions and body language for the algorithms.

Brin’s “We definitely messed up.”, at an AI “hackathon” event on 2 March, followed a slew of social media posts showing Gemini’s image generation tool depicting a variety of historical figures – including popes, founding fathers of the US and, most excruciatingly, German second world war soldiers – as people of colour.

Very interesting. I prefer to actually own the books I buy, so I always remove DRM from the ebooks which I purchase. And Amazon is trying its best to make the process as difficult as possible. At least using Calibre, it can be done only on older kindle pc versions.


This study shows the development and capabilities of Coscientist, an artificial intelligence system driven by GPT-4 that autonomously designs, plans and performs complex experiments using tools such as documentation search, code execution and experimental automation. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06792-0#citeas (open access)

I found that the best way to enjoy/find content on Mastodon is to follow hashtags. Think keywords of whatever you are interested to see in your feed and search different variations of those keywords. Browse those hashtags and follow them if the content seems interesting.


This happened with me couple of years ago and I had to pay for space 🤦


IBM claims quantum computing research milestone
The papers presented on Monday are the work of IBM and partners including the Los Alamos National Laboratory, University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Tokyo. They focus mainly on areas such as simulating quantum physics and solving problems in chemistry and materials science. https://archive.is/w0Ciu

When profits are of concern, “self-regulation” gets defenestrated!


The biggest challenge to getting an agreement over the European Union's proposed AI Act has come from France, Germany and Italy, who favour letting makers of generativeAI models self-regulate instead of having hard rules. Well, we saw what happened (allegedly) with OpenAI "self-regulating" itself.

From the article: “In some ways, the current situation has spurred an arms race. YouTube has inadvertently improved ad blockers, as the new knowledge and techniques gained from innovating within the YouTube platform are also applicable to other ad and tracking systems.”

It’s ChatGPT's first "birthday". And it was a very eventful first year for the field of AI.

This will probably be aired as a netflix docu series sometime in the future lol 🤣


Really this whole open ai drama was very entertaining. Wonder whether this is it or they have something more in store!


The algorithms made me bored of these platforms. I used to scroll twitter for 10 minutes then close the app because I would come across content filled with negativity. Then on youtube it seems like the videos suggested are those I am not interested in. Now that I have switched to newpipe, I find that I have so many more videos to watch. Recently I have started using Mastodon and I am liking it so far since I can tune my feed according to what I like to see using hashtags, following people and blocking/muting people. At least I haven’t got bored yet. These secret algorithms don’t seem to work for me. I wonder how people get addicted.?


A study on online companies employing dark patterns. Dark patterns are clever tricks built into apps and websites to encourage you to do things you may not necessarily want to do, for the gain of the companies.
