Even if LLMs wouldn't get any better (and they will), still development of AI applications will continue at high speed because of increasing efficiency in various algorithms and processes in the background. This will make more applications possible and affordable. Minference by Microsoft is a good example. #AI #Microsoft #Minference

Interesting article about the actual added value of generative AI for intelligence agencies. "Raman said U.S. intelligence analysts currently use generative AI in classified settings for search and discovery assistance, writing assistance, ideation, brainstorming and helping generate counter arguments."

The US intelligence community is embracing generative AI

Intelligence agencies are using generative AI for a variety of purposes, including content triage and assisting analysts.

Create, and share interactive games and web pages on Websim

is not necessarily useful for anything but it's fun and interesting, also it shows what AI already can do and made me think about the future. (Also it's free 😀) #ai #websimai

I can fully agree, also my experience: Google has been overpromising — and under-delivering — with Gemini.

Exclusive: Gemini's data-analyzing abilities aren't as good as Google claims

New research shows that Google might be overstating its generative AI's ability to reason over long documents.

Good article about the datacenters/computing behind AI , for people interested in technology but even if you are not it gives a good view of the mind boggling scale with regard to energy, compute, memory etcetera https://www.semianalysis.com/p/100000-h100-clusters-power-network #AI #datacenter #compute

The difference between Israel and Hamas is clear, one a democracy (with problems) and the other is a terrorist organisation. At the same time it means Israel's actions should maintain high standards with regard to innocent victims. They seem to be failing in that respect... #gaza #hamas #israel

Is the Iranian regime really so stupid to launch a limited attack with easy to intercept Shahed drones (probably that will happen outside Israeli airspace) after which #Israel will have an excuse to destroy any military installation inside #Iran , the logic escapes me... #geopolitics @npub17dnl...a7ch

Erik Jonker 1 year ago

The IDF has confirmed that #Iran fired drones from it's territory towards Israel, those in itself pose no big threat , also they take hours to reach #Israel. But it's a first and ofcourse Israel could chose to strike back, also in Iran. Dangerous hours ahead. #geopolitics @npub17dnl...a7ch

Fascinating story about the XZ backdoor, before people start blaming opensource, these backdoors can be in any closed source component and nobody will know.

What we know about the xz Utils backdoor that almost infected the world

Malicious updates made to a ubiquitous tool were a few weeks away from going mainstream.

I am wondering whether Putin doesn't have a PR problem, he was clearly warned for the attack in Moscow, so if he doesn't blame anyone else, he clearly has made a mistake? #moscow #russia
