↳ In-reply-to » Google AI predicts floods four days early in South America and Africa An artificial intelligence from Google can predict floods even in regions with little data on water flow, and its predictions four days in advance are as accurate as conventional systems manage for the same day ⌘ Read more

@New_scientist@feeds.twtxt.net No, Google does not predict this. “Google AI” has been self-promoting like this for decades. Remember when they used to brag that they could predict the onset of flu season weeks before it started? That silently went away because they got it badly wrong many times and people caught on to how bad their “predictions” actually were.

They can’t stop themselves. Anything about AI coming out of big tech companies these days is marketing, not real, and certainly not science.

↳ In-reply-to » Tricks for making AI chatbots break rules are freely available online Certain prompts can encourage chatbots such as ChatGPT to ignore the rules that prevent illicit use, and they have been widely shared on social platforms ⌘ Read more

@New_scientist@feeds.twtxt.net because of course they have.

Emily Bender, a computational linguistic and excellent critic of this generative AI nonsense, uses an analogy of an oil spill to characterize what is happening as a result of generative AI. It’s polluting the world with false information, false images, false “academic” articles, false books. The companies that create this stuff are not cleaning up their misinformation spill; they’re letting the mess spread all over. It’s being used to commit crimes, and that’ll only get worse. Just like an out of control oil spill will destroy entire ecosystems.

More human than human: Measuring ChatGPT political bias
The artificial intelligence platform ChatGPT shows a significant and systemic left-wing bias, according to a new study led by the University of East Anglia (UEA). The team of researchers in the UK and Brazil developed a rigorous new method to check for political bias. ⌘ Read more

Today I’m reading about how to save a copy of your secret keys outside a computer, using analog media, or sharing it by voice. For instance, for TOTP authenticators.

I found BIP39 coming from the crypto-wallets world:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawiki

The user has to write down this passphrase

fragile mimic expect ketchup truth between thunder visit expose output powder derive process disagree razor
Which is carefully designed to be checksummed and it’s easy to say on a call

Finally deriving it into a set of bytes like

Do you know some alternatives not related to cryptocurrencies? 🤔

↳ In-reply-to » Found another example of Google stealing something I've written and putting it in a "featured snippet".

here’s my old web page at Brandeis University

Coevolutionary algorithms typically explore domains in which no single evaluation function is present or known. For the purpose of selecting which individuals to maintain and vary, they instead rely on the outcomes of interactions between evolving entities.

I’ve been using variations of that same phrasing for a very long time–I wrote that web page circa 2005 maybe?

Found another example of Google stealing something I’ve written and putting it in a “featured snippet”.

What’s super annoying about this one is that the source is a course page at Tufts University, not the official page of the publication they’re taking this text from. I know the professor who taught that course and I’ve guest lectured for them before on this topic. They put this publication in their course readings, and I guess that’s where Google picked it up.

↳ In-reply-to » @prologic I don't understand what you're saying. podman works with TLS. It does not have the "--docker" siwtch so you have to remove that and use the exact replacement commands that were in that github comment.

@prologic@twtxt.net hmm, bummer. I was hoping that translating the docker commands to podman syntax would work but it looks like it’s more subtle than that. Thanks for trying!

The weird thing was I wasn’t getting errors like that on my end when I tried it. podman thought the connection was created, and it set it as the default. But I don’t think it was sending anything over the wire. When I have more time to tinker with it maybe I’ll play around and see if I can figure out what’s up.

@prologic@twtxt.net Change your script to this:

#!/bin/sh

set -e

alias docker=podman

if [ ! command -v docker > /dev/null 2>&1 ]; then
  echo "docker not found"
  exit 1
fi

mkdir -p $HOME/.docker/certs.d/cas
