I hacked ChatGPT and Google's AI - and it only took 20 minutes - BBC Future

"P
Perhaps you've heard that AI chatbots make things up sometimes. That's a problem. But there's a new issue few people know about, one that could have serious consequences for your ability to find accurate information and even your safety. A growing number of people have figured out a trick to make AI tools tell you almost whatever they want. It's so easy a child could do it.

As you read this, this ploy is manipulating what the world's leading AIs say about topics as serious as health and personal finances. The biased information could mean people make bad decisions on just about anything – voting, which plumber you should hire, medical questions, you name it."

‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefront | Steam | The Guardian

"For years, the gaming storefront Steam has let abuse and bigotry pass through its moderation, according to players and developers who use it. The platform is now host to reams of content that violate its own guidelines.

According to developers who spoke with the Guardian, abuse – particularly directed towards transgender creators – is a fact of life on the platform. “Everyone is at one another’s throats all the time in reviews, discussions, forums, anywhere you can possibly find it on Steam,” says content creator and Steam curator Bri “BlondePizza” Moore. “It ensures no one is safe on the platform; developers and consumers alike.”"

The Shape of Artificial Intelligence - by Alberto Romero

"Here are some examples that reveal how extreme the jaggedness is and how surprising it is that AI is still unable to solve simple puzzles whereas it can solve extremely hard problems: the AI can write a perfect sonnet about quantum physics (a creative spike) or distinguish virtually similar dog breeds (a perceptual spike), but it might fail to tell you how many r’s are in the word “stawberry” (tricky, I knlw) or h’s in the word “honeycomb” (a surprising gap), or whether 9.11 is smaller or not than 9.9 (another surprising gap)."

Amazon's ring and Google's nest unwittingly reveal the severity of the U.S. surveillance state — Puppet Masters — Sott.net

"The ad highlighted what the company calls its "Search Party" feature, whereby one can upload a picture, for example, of a lost dog. Doing so will activate multiple other Amazon Ring cameras in the neighborhood, which will, in turn, use AI programs to scan all dogs, it seems, and identify the one that is lost. The 30-second commercial was full of heart-tugging scenes of young children and elderly people being reunited with their lost dogs.

But the graphic Amazon used seems to have unwittingly depicted how invasive this technology can be.

That this capability now exists in a product that has long been pitched as nothing more than a simple tool for homeowners to monitor their own homes created, it seems, an unavoidable contrast between public understanding of Ring and what Amazon was now boasting it could do."
