Don't upload your private medical, don't take advice from a stochastic parrot, and definitely don't do those things together.

Oggi su Il Mattino si parla della seconda edizione del Progetto Bottega Digitale "Emmanuel Granatello"(progettobottegadigitale.wordpress.com).
Un progetto di divulgazione nato dal basso e sostenuto da 3 associazioni locali: Casapulla OnLine, Pro Loco Casapulla e Associazione Lighthouse

basta vedere come si parla di moltbook (il social network per AI agent) interpretando il linguaggio generato come frutto di un reale intento e dimenticando che questi sistemi sono stati in larga parte addestrati proprio su testi provenienti da forum e social media

Il pezzo riporta, sul tema, anche dichiarazioni rilasciate da Jeff Hancock dello Stanford Social Media Lab, Luisa Verdoliva della UniversitΓ  Federico II, e Sander Van der Linden della Cambridge University. L'istinto antropomorfo di attribuire intenzionalitΓ  a questi sistemi Γ¨ ancora oggi radicato:

Qui sottolineo - ancora una volta - come sia sbagliato interpretare l'output di un sistema di AI (giusto o sbagliato che sia) come frutto di una intenzionalitΓ  intrinseca del sistema di rispondere correttamente o "mentire". Questi sistemi non "mentono": sbagliano, in virtΓΉ del modo in cui sono fatti

AI isn't just helping students cheat β€” it's exposing how broken the education system is, prominent academic says AI tools like ChatGPT are exposing outdated teaching methods β€” and schools are failing to adapt, Tyler Cowen said.

This is one of the better takes on AI in education. Education has been broken for at least 50 years. AI was dynamite stuffed into the cracks. www.businessinsider.com/ai-reveals-h...

Feedback (Springer, 2024) by PΓ©ter Γ‰rdi The notion of feedback represents one of the most important contribution of the cybernetics to the science of (any) complex systems design.

My take on "Feedback": a nice book by PΓ©ter Γ‰rdi on one of the main contribution of #cybernetics: artificialminds.substack.com/p/feedback-s...
