In centuries past, predictions of the future came from oracles and seers. Today they come from tech oligarchs and their predictive AI systems, fed by mass surveillance. Carissa Véliz returns to Techtonic to discuss her book “Prophecy” about “prediction, power, and the fight for the future.”
Carissa Véliz discusses Mass Surveillance and its use on prediction analysis. It's from July but it is a good listen
I think they're going for a GitHub/Microsoft approach. Let people enjoy themselves in a nice environment and cut them off if something does not fit/satisfy. Then call it "rogue behavior" to keep the public in check.
fucking corpos, amirite? not like Alibaba or Tencent aren't corpos aswell
You know, since we're on this topic, I think a small LLM powered by tool use would be cool. But things need to be better. For example, will you rely forever on DuckDuckGo that for instance relies on Bing? That's a bad idea. Someone needs to get CommonCrawl or make new datasets and power it using tool use. Tool use + a small LLM would be useful for many uses that people have for LLMs. That would cut energy use and the need for large DataCenters a lot. Isn't that what you want?
I could've made a simple collage with a crowd and someone with open arms. That would be cute.
more like an infection really
Sorry, I rather use AI than a real person on a red carpet. I just don't jive with Fame.
Edit: I could have put a picture with Robert Downey Jr. or something like that, but I really didn't want to.
A little bit scary.
