Looks like the big music labels are soon going to sell out their artists to AI companies. Of course, they will do that. Looking at the history of big music labels, it’s clear that they exploit artists as much as possible as well.

“Most of the #GenAI usage today is not through chat interfaces but through this: Cursor. It enables people to code more easily, including people who don’t know how to code.”

I have no words left, literally. I will write one more paper, partially to acknowledge the coming academic unravelling. Then Im gone. Im a nobody, but I think a lot of academics are beginning to feel like this.

"if we ejected all the genAI tools into the sun, I would be quite pleased"

This is energetically difficult but the right thing to do. #UVic

There's a "Paywall" as you scroll down, but enough content is available to get the gist. I don't subscribe.

A new Brand Story is live — this time with eSentire!

We sat down with Dustin Hillard, CTO at #eSentire, for a powerful conversation about #AgenticAI and what it really means to reach human equivalency in security operations.

From decision-making to autonomous action, this isn’t just theory — it’s a real-world look at outcomes when AI is trained and tuned with purpose.

What does it mean to be a #Jewish professor in North America right now?

How can we draw on our intellectual lineage to resist authoritarianism in our work?

My coauthors Victoria Simon, Nathaniel Laywine and I discussed this in the context of #genAI for @TheConversationUS.

My aversion to #genAI is such that I avoid toots that feature

Oof...

Wordpress has formed an AI team

"AI is already transforming how people create and manage content online. As this technology evolves, it’s essential that WordPress remains at the forefront, ensuring innovation happens in the open, guided by community values, and built to core standards."

So that means more generative AI features are probably coming to Wordpress.

If you are a professional artist (meaning you generate a significant part of your income through art), how has the emergence of generative AI (AI that produces images, animation, music, …) impacted your livelihood?

If you don't use genAI, and have experienced no significant changes w regards to your income, this is seen as a "positive impact" since you can continue to do your job, and make a living, as usual (and the poll on this instance only offers 4 reply options).

We're expanding our collection of GenAI syllabus policies across higher ed!

Looking especially for:
STEM, Business, & Health courses
Gen Ed (Writing, Speech, Psych)
Prof/vocational programs

Temperature, noun

𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦-𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦: Rising numbers show that we are fucked even more
𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘈𝘐 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘴: How much do you want to directly benefit from theft?

There is a difference in saying to the customers "who constantly ask about whether you have #AI features" that you "(still) don't have AI yet" and saying that you "weighed the pros and cons against the use cases and came to the carefully considered conclusion to decide against the use of AI and standing by that statement."

These two tell if you are
ahead of trends
not blindly driven by the hype
well-informed
living your values

I started a page in my personal wiki collecting writing & reporting that's critical of LLMs/generative AI

I have enough times when I want to explain the *many* reasons I have the opinions I do that I figure it'll be helpful to have it all in one place:

The {ragnar} #RStats for doing RAG (retrieval augmented generation) with R has been submitted to CRAN https://ragnar.tidyverse.org/news/index.html

In other #GenAI R news: the new {kuzco} #RStats for computer vision works with local #LLMs in R for classification, recognition, sentiment, text extraction and alt-text generation. https://posit.co/blog/kuzco-computer-vision-with-llms-in-r/

Happy to see #R #GenAI activity heating up
