My Memories Are Just Meta’s Training Data Now

In R. C. Sherriff’s novel The Hopkins Manuscript, readers are transported to a world 800 years after a cataclysmic event ended Western civilization. In pursuit of clues about a blank spot in their planet’s history, scientists belonging to a new world order discover diary entries in a swamp-infested wasteland formerly known as England. For the inhabitants of this new empire, it is only through this record of a retired school teacher’s humdrum rural life, his petty vanities and attempts to breed prize-winning chickens, that they begin to learn about 20th-century Britain.If I were to teach futuristic beings about life on…

We’re Still Waiting for the Next Big Leap in AI

We’re Still Waiting for the Next Big Leap in AI

When OpenAI announced GPT-4, its latest large language model, last March, it sent shockwaves through the tech world. It was clearly more capable than anything seen before at chatting, coding, and solving all sorts of thorny problems—including school homework.Anthropic, a rival to OpenAI, announced today that it has made its own AI advance that will upgrade chatbots and other use cases. But although the new model is the world’s best by some measures, it’s more of a step forward than a big leap.Anthropic’s new model, called Claude 3.5 Sonnet, is an upgrade to its existing Claude 3 family of AI…

Good Search Borrows, Great Search … Steals?

Web crawling—the act of indexing information across the internet—has been around for decades. It has primarily been used by search engines like Google and nonprofits like Internet Archive and Common Crawl to catalog the contents of the open internet and make it searchable. Until recently, the practice of web crawling has rarely been seen as controversial, as websites depended on the process as a way for people to find their content. But now crawling tech has been subsumed by the great AI-ening of everything, and is being used by companies like Google and Perplexity AI to absorb whole articles that…

Perplexity Is a Bullshit Machine

Perplexity Is a Bullshit Machine

“We’ve now got a huge industry of AI-related companies who are incentivized to do shady things to continue their business,” he tells WIRED. “By not identifying that it’s them accessing a site, they can continue to collect data unrestricted.”“Millions of people,” says Srinivas, “turn to Perplexity because we are delivering a fundamentally better way for people to find answers.”While Knight’s and WIRED’s analyses demonstrate that Perplexity will visit and use content from websites from which it doesn't have permission to access, that doesn’t necessarily explain the vagueness of some of its responses to prompts about specific articles and the sheer…

Researchers teach AI to spot what you’re sketching

Researchers teach AI to spot what you’re sketching

A new way to teach artificial intelligence (AI) to understand human line drawings -- even from non-artists -- has been developed by a team from the University of Surrey and Stanford University. The new model approaches human levels of performance in recognising scene sketches. Dr Yulia Gryaditskaya, Lecturer at Surrey's Centre for Vision, Speech and Signal Processing (CVSSP) and Surrey Institute for People-Centred AI (PAI), said: "Sketching is a powerful language of visual communication. It is sometimes even more expressive and flexible than spoken language. "Developing tools for understanding sketches is a step towards more powerful human-computer interaction and more…

AI recognizes athletes’ emotions

AI recognizes athletes’ emotions

Using computer-assisted neural networks, Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the University of Duisburg-Essen have been able to accurately identify affective states from the body language of tennis players during games. For the first time, they trained a model based on artificial intelligence (AI) with data from actual games. Their study, published in the journal Knowledge-Based Systems, demonstrates that AI can assess body language and emotions with accuracy similar to that of humans. However, it also points to ethical concerns. For their study, "Recognizing affective states from the expressive behavior of tennis players using convolutional neural networks,"…
