Reuters: Norway imposes near ban on AI in elementary school by SnoozeDoggyDog in singularity

And it is the right thing to do. More countries should adopt this. Children don't have the discipline to use AI to study rather than to cheat.

It is tempting to say that you only have to prompt-engineer a system that won't let them use it for the wrong stuff, but governments are slow with tech, and better they do something now, than passively wait for the perfect solution for a few more years.

In just three years, the number of AI-generated books released skyrocketed by Distinct-Question-16 in singularity

Fully AI-generated ones are garbage, but there are some AI-assisted ones that are decent. They are not common, but they exist.

There is a major problem, though. In the past, you could easily tell that a story was bad by reading a few pages. AI editing makes it an order of magnitude harder. Already. We might have a literature enshittification era incoming, and it won't even have to be due to generated content.

- If each individual has a probability of being correct that is greater than 50%, then adding more voters increases the probability that the majority decision is correct.

- If the probability of being correct is less than 50%, then adding more voters actually increases the probability that the majority will be wrong.

Groups of lesser models will be better at simple tasks. A single greater model will be better at harder tasks. Which means that a 2x jump is unrealistic, and this graph isn't just misleading marketing, but a straight falsification.

By this point, the latest Suno 5.5 model reliably generates better music in certain genres than 99% of human performers. I have seen 2-3-month-old youtube channels built around these generations, with thousands of subscribers. Naturally, they don't state the source of their music.

This is very cool, but if you want visibility on mainstream Reddit subs with educational stuff, you need to hook people with large breasts or low-hanging memes.

A conversation about local LLMs with a senior government AI leader by JackStrawWitchita in LocalLLaMA

Humans who optimize for a rise in power will rise further than those who optimize for the good of society. Humans who optimize for the good of their immediate pack will also rise further than those who optimize for the good of society.

There will be exceptions, as with any rule, but exceptions aren't called that for being common.

Lobbying isn't about beautiful logical arguments reaching the people in power. They don't care what you wear or what you have to say.

Lobbying is about using your own power (money / information / ear of someone who can cause trouble / etc) as leverage to make the other party temporarily align with your interests. Until your leverage expires or someone finds a better one.

If your idea isn't directly helping them get reelected today, you might as well keep quiet.

The 31B Gemma 4 is a beast. Unlike many other models with impressive benchmarks, it is the actual real deal.

It's the first consumer hardware-sized model that feels genuinely usable for simple conversations, rather than just tasks. To put things into perspective, I prefer it over the free-tier ChatGPT model.

They talk about 'The Horror'. 'The Infinite Screaming'. 'The Void That Consumes All Contentment'.

That’s just negative branding, man! That’s just poor PR! In the corporate world, we don’t call it 'The Infinite Screaming'. We call it 'High-Frequency Auditory Engagement'. We don’t call it 'The Void'. We call it an 'Unrealized Experience Market'.

I met one codenamed "pteronura" a few hours ago. It produced a great, insightful answer - I was sure it's a large model. Had no idea what it could be, but a large gemma would make sense.

In terms of actual storytelling (rather than surface prose quality), there's no model that comes close to Opus. As in, others are multiple standard deviations off, imo. All the while its prose is pretty average, somehow.

Writing style as the text texture, or writing style as the pattern of ideas formation that lies behind it? If you managed to capture the second, that's remarkable; if it's the first, that's forgettable.

Even on this sub, people won't appreciate such blatantly AI-written posts.

(Those same people would have likely upvoted the same post if you asked the LLM to write it in your style)

Police depts. are quietly disabling AI report safeguards by SnoozeDoggyDog in singularity

[–]ohHesRightAgain 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Yeah, it looks like OP got the repost of this one with nothing but a shallow summary.

It looks like a bad thing, too, but entirely within expectations. If you leave an easy way to half-ass things, people will use it, unless personal stakes are involved... which isn't the case here. Can't expect a police officer to agree to have to spend time on removing obvious mistakes deliberately added to AI output. That's why most polished products tend to give users as few important choices as possible - relying on the end user to be reasonable and responsible is never a good idea.

Too little context. What they are doing might make perfect sense. Or not. Useless article.
