Ogni settimana, senza rendercene conto, ingeriamo una quantità di microplastiche pari al peso di una carta di credito. Un dato inquietante, che diventa ancora più allarmante alla luce di una nuova ricerca che svela il tragitto di queste particelle invisibili una volta introdotte nel nostro organismo. Capiamone di più insieme.

Ragionamenti artificiali - I nuovi annunci di Meta e OpenAI alzano ancora l’asticella della competizione nell’automazione cognitiva. Meglio togliere di mezzo le parole ambigue. E studiare a fondo il funzionamento reale di queste tecnologie https://www.lasvolta.it/12457/ragionamenti-artificiali

The LMSYS Chatbot Arena Leaderboard is one of the most interesting approaches to evaluating LLMs because it captures their ever-elusive "vibes" - it works by users voting on the best responses to prompts from two initially hidden models

Big news today is that Command R+ - a brand new open weights model (noncommercial Creative Commons) - is now the highest ranked non-proprietary model, in at position six and beating one of the GPT-4s

una mia mozione di sette anni fa sull'uso della IA nelle armi.

inizialmente largamente sottoscritta, pensavo venisse approvata senza colpo ferire. invece..

The eldest among us remember the First Web, before search engines were Good Actually. They used secret magics to make sense of the chaos that was the First Web.

Site directories.

Web rings.

Home pages linking to trusted sites.

Homework and jello shooter recipes study notes.

Now that the Search Engines have fallen it is time to bring those ancient tools back, for ourselves and the youngest among us who never knew the First Web.

Gli stati dell’UE continuano a non essere d’accordo su #chatcontrol

Gli stati dell’UE continuano a non essere d’accordo sulle questioni chiave riguardanti il ​​previsto controllo della chat. Ciò emerge dai documenti di negoziazione interna che pubblichiamo. La Presidenza belga presenta idee tecniche ma, quando interpellata, non spiega come dovrebbero funzionare.

"open source needs more funding!"

*nation state pays for backdoor*

"not like that!"

Cose su cui tutti, utenti finali compresi, dovrebbero riflettere quando si parla di open source e software libero (o servizi liberi):

«There will be lots of analysis of the xz/liblzma vulnerability. However, I’ve found most skip over the first step of the attack:
