ERROR: type should be string, got "https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00478-x\n“one assessment suggests that ChatGPT, the chatbot created by OpenAI in San Francisco, California, is already consuming the energy of 33,000 homes” for 180.5 million users (that’s 5470 users per household)\nBlackwell GPUs are 25x more energy efficient than H100s: https://www.theverge.com/2024/3/18/24105157/nvidia-blackwell-gpu-b200-ai \nSignificantly more energy efficient LLM variant: https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.17764 \nIn this work, we introduce a 1-bit LLM variant, namely BitNet b1.58, in which every single parameter (or weight) of the LLM is ternary {-1, 0, 1}. It matches the full-precision (i.e., FP16 or BF16) Transformer LLM with the same model size and training tokens in terms of both perplexity and end-task performance, while being significantly more cost-effective in terms of latency, memory, throughput, and energy consumption. More profoundly, the 1.58-bit LLM defines a new scaling law and recipe for training new generations of LLMs that are both high-performance and cost-effective. Furthermore, it enables a new computation paradigm and opens the door for designing specific hardware optimized for 1-bit LLMs.\nStudy on increasing energy efficiency of ML data centers: https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.10350\nLarge but sparsely activated DNNs can consume <1/10th the energy of large, dense DNNs without sacrificing accuracy despite using as many or even more parameters. Geographic location matters for ML workload scheduling since the fraction of carbon-free energy and resulting CO2e vary ~5X-10X, even within the same country and the same organization. We are now optimizing where and when large models are trained. Specific datacenter infrastructure matters, as Cloud datacenters can be ~1.4-2X more energy efficient than typical datacenters, and the ML-oriented accelerators inside them can be ~2-5X more effective than off-the-shelf systems. Remarkably, the choice of DNN, datacenter, and processor can reduce the carbon footprint up to ~100-1000X.\n\nIt also doesn’t do any plagiarism: \n\nA study found that it could extract training data from AI models using a CLIP-based attack: https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.13188 \n\nThe study identified 350,000 images in the training data to target for retrieval with 500 attempts each (totaling 175 million attempts), and of that managed to retrieve 107 images. A replication rate of nearly 0% in a set biased in favor of overfitting using the exact same labels as the training data and specifically targeting images they knew were duplicated many times in the dataset using a smaller model of Stable Diffusion (890 million parameters vs. the larger 2 billion parameter Stable Diffusion 3 releasing on June 12). This attack also relied on having access to the original training image labels\nDiffusion models can create human faces even when 90% of the pixels are removed in the training data https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.19256 \n“if we corrupt the images by deleting 80% of the pixels prior to training and finetune, the memorization decreases sharply and there are distinct differences between the generated images and their nearest neighbors from the dataset. This is in spite of finetuning until convergence.”\n“As shown, the generations become slightly worse as we increase the level of corruption, but we can reasonably well learn the distribution even with 93% pixels missing (on average) from each training image.”"

You are insulting because you have not argument that can support your view. You are comparing AI and NFTs, but they’re fundamentally different. NFTs were mostly speculative assets with questionable value. However, AI is built on decades of research and has real-world applications that are making a difference today. In healthcare AI is improving diagnostic accuracy and predicting patient outcomes. In finance it’s optimizing trading strategies and detecting fraud. In climate science AI is enhancing predictive models to better understand and mitigate climate change. These are real and measurable impacts, not "phony" advancements. Your argument falls apart when faced with facts. Comparing AI to NFTs just shows a clear lack of understanding. Before you dismiss AI, maybe take a look at the actual evidence instead of jumping to uninformed conclusions.

No, I mean they will engineer solutions that work around the drawbacks of these models. My issue here is that you are conflating multiple things together. Companies looking for money/users will always hype their products and future roadmaps. This isn't unique to AI. We went through a similar cycle with software and the internet. But anyone who made a judgement on the utility of software or the internet based on some badly implemented products of random companies is a fool. You brought up ai customer chat support in a previous post. My company is working on it right now for over a year. (not as product to sell). The team built a nice demo in a week more than a year ago and then has been working on building an actual useful production quality system ever since. We've been dogfooding the system internally and its actually really good. Really good because a shit ton of engineering work has gone in to mitigate all the negative aspects of the LLM and smooth out other issues. They didn't just point some LLM at a db, give it a prompt and expect it to work. We had an exec once ask the team if they could spin this out into its own product for other companies. And the response was a clear no: this wasn't some turnkey solution that you can just bolt on to other systems. If you see some ai customer chat support out on the market, they most likely suck because of bad engineering and not because it can't be done.

Europe’s most popular artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots are now intentionally spreading election-related disinformation to its users, an updated study has found. Democracy Reporting International (DRI) examined how chatbots responded to questions related directly to the electoral process with Google Gemini, OpenAI’s ChatGPT4, ChatGPT4-o, and Microsoft’s Copilot. From May 22-24, researchers asked the chatbots five questions in 10 EU languages, including how a user would register to vote if they live abroad, what to do to send a vote by mail and when the results of the European Parliament elections will be out.

They want AI companies to either fix hallucinations (impossible) or refuse all election-related questions. DRI does not claim AI companies are intentionally training their models with disinformation.

The Internet blew up the publishing industry. Content used to be expensive to create, but now it’s trivial to create and distribute, which gutted publishers, etc. AI will do the same for software. > Vogue wasn’t replaced by another fashion media company, it was replaced by 10,000 influencers. Salesforce will not be replaced by another monolithic CRM. It will be replaced by a constellation of things that dynamically serve the same intent and pain points. Software companies will be replaced the same way media companies were, giving rise to a new set of platforms that control distribution. I think the unknown author here may be oversimplifying. The Internet alone doesn’t disrupt industries like publishing. Financialization and regulatory capture play major roles as well.

Every tech news reads and feels dystopian. Safety issues, AI hallucinating and giving wrong information, neglectful and greedy companies trying their best to break individual privacy for their gains, new ways for companies to implement ways to get data to sell it for ads, them trying new ways to shove down these ads, new ways to lock users in subscription based plans, deepfaking voices and using them in both without your consent, companies using your pictures, posts coments and contents to feed it in these AI models without your consent and you can't even opt out of it, it's frustrating and scary to be rn. We are now getting powerful chipsets and hardware JUST SO that it becomes easier for companies to exploit and shove AI into user's throats and get their data to sell to third party ads.

gaming is actually pretty good now, the only real set back is a lot of publishers refuse to let linux through their anti-cheat, other wise most single player stuff just works and works just as well as it does on windows, some times better. If you include older games in the compatibility total, linux might actually come out on top since newer versions of windows often struggle to support really old games where as wine tends to run them with no issue. but that aside, I still play plenty of multiplayer games (though not nearly as many these days) so its not like you cant play any multiplayer games. most of what I play is Dota 2 and overwatch and both of those work great. I've also played a some hell divers 2 when it came out used to play a lot of counter strike GO/2 the issue with anti-cheat is kinda a "non-issue" type thing cuz most of the games that dont work are intrusive methods that you wouldnt want to run if you actually care about that kinda thing anyway, might as well get a console for those if you care about that and if you dont care about it I guess just stay with windows. but gaming isnt really a lot of whats holding it back now. at this point I think there are two things 1) its not accessible, linux will not hold your hand and in my experience even those who claim to be savvy need their hand held or else they give up quick and go back to what they know. 2) other productivity softwares & utilities dont work such as video editors, photoshop, and utilities for things like audio systems and rgb controllers. Unfortunately neither of those things will really change until a company like valve continues to provide support or if people just start using it and we've seen that the latter isnt gonna happen.

thats always a difficult question to answer cuz 1) none of them will be perfect, every one expects to have a perfect experience and thats just never really the case with anything you do, even windows has its bumps. 2) how tech savvy you are would change the recommendation if I had any way to gauge that. a lot of people recommend mint and ubuntu but those two are kinda noob traps. they're great as pre-packaged distros for basic computing stuff but they favor reliability and thus tend to be a little out of date which causes issues as a lot of linux software for playing games and keeping u p to date with that scene really needs up to date libraries, drivers, and what not. flavors of the month recently has been Nobara and Bazzite. These two are honestly pretty cool, Bazzite especially since it aims to provide a near Steam Deck like experience but for more powerful desktop hardware. Steam deck functions a lot like a console using steam big picture mode as the main UI but also provides a "desktop mode" that drops to a popular linux desktop UI called KDE Plasma, at which point it just operates like a basic desktop. Its main draw back is 1) the game mode part doesnt work with nvidia cards yet and 2) it uses a locked file system which is kinda good kinda not ideal for a desktop system. the locked file system is good cuz it means you really cant break it, but it also means if you need to install anything outside of its "app store", you really cant with out disabling the lock and potentially causing issues. Nobara is a Fedora based distro being maintained by a linux-gaming-community user known as Glorious Egg roll. I think I read some where that he actually works for Red Hat (company that makes Fedora). Red Hat is an enterprise grade operating system for servers and enterprise workstations. Fedora is kinda the free home-use version of that, usually is kept far more up to date too. Nobara is, i think, kept even more up to date than stock Fedora and comes with a lot of the basic gaming things pre-installed most people would need as well as defaulting to KDE Plasma (since so many people are becoming familiar with it thanks to the steam deck). It gives the stability of Fedora but adds in all the little stuff you'd need to making gaming setups easy enough. I believe it also has nvidia drivers preinstalled. the third one that a lot of people lean on is Pop\_OS, mostly because it too has nvidia drivers pre-installed. This one is Ubuntu based, uses the Gnome desktop UI (as opposed to KDE) which some people like better, you'd have to load it up and see for your self I suppose. But a lot of people find success with this one. Its made by System 76, a company that makes pre-build linux desktops and laptops so they've been fairly popular. * my best recommendation if you're really curious: * set aside an afternoon * grab an extra ssd & a flash drive * load ventoy onto your flash drive (utility to load .iso's from the usb with out the need to use a utility like rufus) * find a couple of distros you think looked good and load them into the ventoy usb * pull out your windows SSD, install the empty SSD * start with one distro, pick a list of basic things you absolutely want/need to have working, lets say like Chrome, Steam, wi-fi, discord, OBS, and access to a network drive (idk what you need your computer for :P ) * setup all that stuff and if it all just setup and worked, awesome, daily drive it for as long as you feasibly want to (though if you're serious about trying to switch, maybe give it at least a week) * if you run into any issues that are not quickly resolved with in the first few google results, maybe try the next distro. Some times one distro just has dumb road blocks that are obvious for the community users to resolve but not so much for new users, other distros may just have the issues resolved out of the box. take for example I was fuck'n about with base Fedora earlier. VLC installs but lacks the .mp4 encoder needed for it to actually play files. I quickly figured out how to fix that issue (though it required a string of google searches that I dont think some one entirely new to linux would have landed on) but Bazzite for example just had the encounter pre-loaded, vlc just worked when I tried it. few linux users make a cold turkey switch over night, we usually jump back and forth a lot until we simply cant or wont put up with windows any more. I started look into linux back in 2008 and have been on-again-off-again until maybe only 3 years ago when I decided enough was enough. Actually that was about a couple years after gaming become really viable (it was maybe like 2017ish, when ever Nier Automata came out), a few years after that when DXVK and proton was more mature, it was an easy switch at that point.

Wow, thank you so much for all this information! I'll do a bit of poking around tomorrow based on what you've said here. I do have a Nvidia card and gaming is always the thing I worry about when I've tried to switch to Linux in the past. I've been on windows since 95, so it's tough to go from a stage of "whatever I need and want is here and I'm familiar with it and it just works" to one where I don't feel secure in what I'm doing. Windows really is getting out of hand these days though and even though they're finally "free" I feel like the product and that's never fun. Linux has that breath of fresh air feel, then I get over and I'm like, *gulp*

Nvidia is kinda in a weird place at the moment too. They just got new drivers that help solve a lot of big issues that nvidia users have had with some newer parts of linux. Nvidia put off fixing their drivers for so long but the new ones are still in beta I think so keep that in mind. but yeah, give it a try. Even if you go back, you at least have a little experience and have become a bit more comfortable with another system. I feel like removing that 100% reliance on windows is kinda important for a lot of us.. the whole world has let them selves become reliant on one company's software which is kinda flip'n bonkers when you think about it. idk where you're at but im in the US and the idea of our government and people all being entirely reliant on an Operating system made and maintained by say Russia or China or something would seem like such an awful idea. We've all backed our selves into a corner putting all our eggs in the microsoft and apple basket and now so many people dont really have many affordable alternatives.

There is no way to implement it on anything like normal hardware, that isn’t a massive security and privacy concern.

A tool meant to empower the user *should* make its output accessible to other software, so that future developers can create new enhancements. Trouble here is just that the data is so sensitive that you need a strong deny-by-default permission system in place, since merely installing an application shouldn't implicitly give it full trust to dig through it. I'd personally trust the feature even *less* if I couldn't inspect its output and so didn't know what it was recording, not that I intend to go anywhere near any version of Windows that comes with an all-seeing AI of *any* sort.

Apple is never first. This is a deliberate strategy. Apple’s goals are to capture the most profit as the point where the product begins to see mass adoption. That point never occurs at invention.

I mean you can do stuff like enterprise use for Copilot or ChatGPT, doesn’t reason the AI on your data, so there’s some use for using it to make it easier to do stuff like search through your companies documentation. It could link directly to the part of it that they need, so an advanced search tool, for instance. Companies would just need to pay a little extra to Microsoft enterprise for that. Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 provides value by connecting LLMs to your organizational data. Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 accesses content and context through Microsoft Graph. It can generate responses anchored in your organizational data, such as user documents, emails, calendar, chats, meetings, and contacts. Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 combines this content with the user’s working context, such as the meeting a user is in now, the email exchanges the user had on a topic, or the chat conversations the user had last week. Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 uses this combination of content and context to help provide accurate, relevant, and contextual responses. Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 only surfaces organizational data to which individual users have at least view permissions. It's important that you're using the permission models available in Microsoft 365 services, such as SharePoint, to help ensure the right users or groups have the right access to the right content within your organization. This includes permissions you give to users outside your organization through inter-tenant collaboration solutions, such as shared channels in Microsoft Teams. When you enter prompts using Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365, the information contained within your prompts, the data they retrieve, and the generated responses remain within the Microsoft 365 service boundary, in keeping with our current privacy, security, and compliance commitments. Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 uses Azure OpenAI services for processing, not OpenAI’s publicly available services. Azure OpenAI doesn't cache customer content and Copilot modified prompts for Copilot for Microsoft 365.

You can still opt out, they're pushing ai with the copilot+ pc's which are around 1000 usd. This won't be on by default for most pc's, self builds etc. You're specifically going to be buying a device which advertises it as enabled with copilot+ pc's. That's not class action worthy unless there's a data breach which causes actual harm.

Apple is good at actually implementing the technology in a useful way, that's the difference. I've lost count of how many times Android device manufacturers rush to add some new technology or feature to their phones despite it having basically no use case at all, inevitably nobody ends up using it and it's scrapped a few years down the line or just goes unused. Apple releases something similar few years later with an obvious use case and a mature solution revolving around that use case and Android then pivots to do what the iPhone does while insisting that they had it first. Apple Pay is a great example, Google Wallet was first to market with NFC payments but it was very limited, didn't see mass adoption and fizzled out very quickly, Apple spent years working with banks and developing a robust solution with Apple Pay, a very clear and simple use-case for people that worked in a lot of places and adoption exploded. Google very quickly pivoted their own Wallet product and replaced it with Android Pay which was basically Apple Pay but Android.

Now they're just outright lying. There is no point to a "feature" like this if Microsoft can't access and then sell the information it gathers. They will simply "update" the TOS at some point in a "you have to notice the small change on page 209 and opt out in a menu 4 levels deep with 3 2 Factor ID requirements"

>They needed experts to point out security flaws in a feature that captures everything you do and records all your sensitive information on your computer? I think they laid off employees too early. I'm trying to work out who asked for this feature - where are the millions of users clambering for this feature? So let me get this straight, fixing up the MAX\_PATH limit of 256 characters so that the bundled applications (as part of the default installation of Windows) is impossible to do but adding a feature almost no one asked for with massive security implication is what they're focusing their energy on.

While this sounds like a huge data breach, it doesn't, based on currently available knowledge, sound like it was due to the a defect on Snowflake's part, but rather on customers failing to secure their accounts. It'd be like if an AWS customer got hacked because the customer had an employee with privileged access to their AWS account, and that employee got compromised and the attacker used them to gain access to their AWS environment and then exfiltrated a bunch of data or spun up a bunch of EC2 instances to mine Bitcoin. That wasn't caused by a security issue on Amazon's part. All SaaS products, especially cloud operate off an operational model (a "shared responsibility model") where the cloud provider is responsible for ensuring the cloud services and infrastructure themselves are free of defects, but it's the customer's responsibility how they use them. So Amazon is responsible for ensuring EC2 instances don't randomly crash for no reason whatsoever, but if a customer runs a workload that crashes their EC2 instance, that's not Amazon's fault. And if a customer leaves their username and password or IAM user access keys lying around and then attackers then go through the front door using them, that's not Amazon's fault. Put another way, the car manufacturer is responsible for building a car with functioning door locks and resistance to hotwiring (e.g., immobilizers), but if the a customer leaves their car keys in the car or gets carjacked and thereby gives away their keys, that's not on the manufacturer.

Not at all. I’ve had logins for power by multiple data breaches over the years. Hackers/bots take these lists and crawl major companies sites attempting to login. People are notoriously bad at passwords and reusing them. The more breach lists that exist and have user credentials the more they spread and do login testing on major sites. Every time a breach list gets exposed, my company gets another wave of login attempts. The thing I will say, as a company, even if you provide 2FA or not, your login systems should always be looking for threat vectors and bad actors and actively looking for patterns that indicate it’s not legitimate behavior. There’s many many ways to detect and attempt to limit impact. Dont soley out the burden on the customer and their credential usage.
