Yet another AI application
AI is currently finding its way more and more into various software. There is ChatGPT, which sometimes feels like an all-knowing human, DeepL uses artificial intelligence not only for its translator, but also for its new tool that improves written text, or Bunny.net provides an API to generate images “on the edge”. ⌘ Read more

Det irriterer mig helt vildt når folk opstiller “Kunstig Intelligens” som noget ikke-menneskeligt eller over-menneskeligt.

“Kunstig Intelligens” er jo bare et værktøj - som netop kun mennesker bruger.

Når folk siger ting som f.eks.: “AI skal ikke lave kunst, mennesker skal lave kunst!” tror jeg at man har fejl-tolket situationen helt vildt.

Det er stadig mennesker der laver kunsten - de bruger bare nogle nye værktøjer.

Det føles lidt som en flok maleri-entusiaster der kritiserer fotografi. ⌘ Read more

Bunny AI
Bunny.net joined the AI hype and created “Bunny AI” (docs), AI images created on the edge. I tried it out, because it’s currently free during the preview, but somehow I don’t find the generated images aesthetic or I’m just to stupid to write better prompts. I guess the Bunny developers also need some distraction from time to time, because they are working hard on S3 support for Bunny Storage for years already. 🐰 ⌘ Read more

It seems quite unlikely to me that humans will cease to care about wealth after the singularity (15% maybe?), or that markets will cease to exist after the singularity (30% or sth). so the best investment strategy now for post-singularity scenarios is to invest broadly in the economy. not sure about divesting from AGI companies (bc they accelerate danger) or AI hardware companies (ditto)—they’re going to especially valuable post-singularity.

maybe elites appear incompetent because they’re mostly trying to prevent AI disaster behind the curtains? perhaps that’s why GPT-4 hasn’t appeared yet – they coordinated not to do it.

lol, just realised that standard AI risk is just environmental disaster risk amped up to 10^(10^10), only that the direct perpetrator isn’t humanity (we’re only the proximate perpetrator). huh
