Nature: Al generates covertly racist decisions about people based on their dialect (www.nature.com)
 

Got the pointer to this from Allison Parrish who says it better than I could:

it's a very compelling paper, with a super clever methodology, and (i'm paraphrasing/extrapolating) shows that "alignment" strategies like RLHF only work to ensure that it never seems like a white person is saying something overtly racist, rather than addressing the actual prejudice baked into the model.

Yet another completely normal use of generative AI: not-obviously-illegal CSAM (www.wgal.com)
 

School student tells AI to put 20 other students’ faces on nude pictures, shares them in chat; it takes months for anyone including the school administrators to act because of some extremely, uh, dubious loophole.

If someone does that in photoshop, it’s a crime; if they do it in AI pretending to be photoshop, it’s somehow not. Gotta love this legal system’s focus on minor technicalities rather than the harm done.

our boy Moldy is back at Urbit (gosh! etc), as interviewed by an Urbit loving crypto bro. Anyway, they're gonna solve their funding problems by doing a shitcoin in c/[email protected]

They’re going to build the acausal robot god and then they’re going to fuck it.

The “I will piledrive you” post, discussed on the Better Offline podcast (overcast.fm)
 

They have Nik Suresh (the author) on, as well as Robert Evans. I haven’t listened to it all yet, but it’s fun so far.

Nix project: ban? What ban? (discourse.nixos.org)
 

They invited that guy back. I do have to admit, I admire his inability to read a room.

Effective Altruists: look, we *tried* to invite nice people as well as the huge racists we knew were huge racists when we invited them. What? Exclude the racists? But they're so *interesting!* in c/[email protected]

Author has a pronoun right in the title. Just like one of these “there is a huge spider perching on your shoulder” situations.

Lightcone is so *outraged* at the Guardian article that they have started a prediction market about it in c/[email protected]

With just a little bit of creative bin-packing they can share a core with the processes that simulate the smell of sewage and leafblower noise.
