New reporting by
"The Information" has revealed some recent topics of conversation between #OpenAI employees as they work to supply #advertisers with a teeming new audience to manipulate.
The plans are not final, though they give us a look at what soon may become the norm for #ChatGPT.
One conversation between OpenAI staffers, for example, involved ♦️ giving sponsored chatbot results
“preferential treatment” over non-sponsored results, anonymous employees told The Information
Other internal conversations focused on the best ways to ♦️serve ads without putting off users entirely,
who might feel less inclined to go on hours-long chat benders if they feel corporate advertisers are looking on like a third-wheel.
One ad mockup shared with the publication showed ads only appearing after a second prompt with ChatGPT,
to avoid bombarding users with sponsored content too early in their conversations.
News that OpenAI was experimenting with cramming commercials into ChatGPT came in early December,
after a software sleuth uncovered a dozen lines of code in the chatbot’s beta app for Android referencing things like
🔸“feature ads” and 🔸“search ads carousel.”

Inasmuch as LLMs make people stupider, they are the greatest ally imaginable for conservatives who rely heavily on the exact category of empty mistakenness these programs engender.

Das Sprachmodell #ChatGPT kann es bei der Differenzialdiagnose von #Polyneuropathien mit den meisten #Neurologen aufnehmen: Nur Spezialisten erkennen die richtige Erkrankung noch häufiger. Bei konfirmatorischen diagnostischen Tests zieht die KI sogar mit den Experten gleich. https://www.aerztezeitung.de/Medizin/ChatGPT-schlaegt-Neurologen-bei-Polyneuropathie-Diagnose-459633.html

OpenAI focuses on audio AI – new hardware in sight
Audio is said to be the focus of OpenAI's announced but so far mysterious hardware. The internal team is being massively restructured.

Wij zoeken uit hoe je eigenlijk @nrc_nl opzegt. (Dit omdat R. Hertzberger daar weer columnist wordt, nadat ze het meest weerzinwekkende kabinet ooit mede mogelijk heeft gemaakt.)
Opzeggen blijkt bij NRC telefonisch te moeten. Mijn juridisch adviseur #Chatgpt: Dat mag niet.
Je moet een abonnement kunnen opzeggen op dezelfde manier als je het hebt afgesloten. Online afsluiten, dan ook online opzeggen.
Mijn vrouw: 'Dat was op straat.' #oeps

"Die #KI hat das gesagt, also muss es stimmen!" Kontext: War auf dem Konzert, es gab Beethoven statt Mozart, Orchester statt Klavier, und Angus hab ich zumindest nicht gesehen, aber die KI von #DuckDuckGo (#ChatGPT 4o) hat wohl bessere Quellen ...

Souring On Artificial Intelligence
There’s an interesting article in the New York Times called Why Do Americans Hate A.I.? The article goes through the litany of some of the bugaboos just about anyone can recite from memory these days: jobs, trust, and agency. As fast as Artificial Intelligence has dominated the conversation warnings about the ptifalls have run side by side in what I think resembles a barefooted three-legged sack race over broken glass.
Over the holidays at what seemed like an infinite number of family gatherings I picked up on some interesting themes that I mentioned in my end of year post about all things Apple that I think is worth calling out here again. Everyday Janes and Joes are souring on artificial intelligence, not for any of the now almost clichéd anti-AI reasons, but after everyday unsatisfactory encounters with their doctors, banks, and any number of the other institutions and business that they deal with.
As I said in that post about Apple,
I also think Apple and the other tech companies need to pay attention to the warning signs that are starting to bubble up about Artificial Intelligence. I think most of the growing distaste of AI comes not from what these tech companies are offering on computing platforms, but from the day to day encounters people are experiencing in their daily lives as more and more non-tech companies roll out versions of AI support. The way I’m hearing and feeling it, jokes and complaints about AI at holiday gatherings this year are starting to compete in numbers with ones about government and politics.
Because money rules the roost, most of the conversations we hear about Artificial Intelligence center on how much money is being spent propping up and expanding the bubble that is keeping a sagging economy afloat like a hot balloon on a cloudy day. There’s only so much liquefied propane in any tank once things lift off.
Here’s the thing about holiday family gatherings. I can’t remember one when conversations didn’t at some point offer up a “you’ve got to try this” recommendation or some sort of eye-grabbing new thing or trend that captured attention along with the usual complaints and grievances. But AI-negative conversations seemed to take precedence on the grievance side of the ledger this year.
Everyday folks don’t care about who wins the AI technology race or who has the best on device AI or how many tokens a system offers. They care about getting results in less time and more so, getting it done with a human they can talk to, not a robot in a chat window. So far based on the jokes, swearing and condescending attitudes I’m hearing (anecdotally, I admit) everyday folks aren’t buying the pitch, but they’re getting closer to picking up the tar.
We can talk about data centers, job efficiencies and job losses, chatbots, AI slop, and scientific advancements all day long, but when everyday folks on the ground develop a distaste for what you’re selling and turn your efforts into the butt of a joke, eventually you need to discount or clear out the inventory no matter how many data center servers you pop up.
Even so, perhaps that’s the aim of the A.I. purveyors. If they salt the fields with enough of their product to the point that everyone condescendingly abides it the way they do government, it may not matter if it doesn’t offer any harvest that yields nutrition, just that it yields a ubiquitous tolerance.

Lieber Mario. Das Du #KI mit extremen #Vorurteilen belegst ist falsch!Selbstverständlich hat #ChatGPT Defizite. Die Kombination von #biologischer&künstlicherIntelligenz ist die Zukunft! Wo kommen Deine Bedenken her? Angriff auf die biologischeIntelligenz? Verstehe ich als Ingenieur nicht.Sorry🖖🌹💚🌻

Really, this is everything we need to know, right? "WRITTEN BY EXPERTS, NOT AI"

For years I have heard how great Google AI is or will be. From my experience, this is pure marketing propaganda (the context is technical and programming stuff).
1. Claude (Code) => a really useful tool
2. ChatGPT (but way behind).
3. Gemini (even more behind).
All of them are not good enough to work without a human advising and correcting them all the time.
I think AI will stay as a tool for helping with boilerplate tasks, but the extreme hype will go away.

Ugh! Kan se at mit lokale bibliotek er begyndt at bruge AI genereret billeder til deres begivenheder. Det er så grimt! Please stop that. #ai #chatgpt
