    Review of OpenAI

    A snippet from Journalist Karen Hao on Sam Altman, OpenAI & the “Quasi-Religious” Push for Artificial Intelligence talk on youtube.

    Talking about the Maori tribe in New Zealand wanting to get people to learn Maori to keep their language alive without big tech companies taking their intellectual property:

    (31:43 in the talk) There’s plenty of research that shows when you have highly curated small data sets you can actually create very powerful AI models and then once they had that tool they were able to do exactly what they wanted to open source this educational resource to their community.

    And so my vision for AI development in the future is to have more small task specific AI models that are not trained on vast polluted data sets but small curated datasets and therefore only need small amounts of computational power and can be deployed in challenges that we actual need to tackle for humanity … (climate change, drug discovery)

    Karen Hao wrote Empire of AI, a big book on silicon valley ambitions with AI.

    She talks about BOOMERs and DOOMERs:

    BOOMERS: it’s gonna be great! Utopia.
    DOOMERS: it’s gonna be the Terminator!

    She talks about Sam Altman as being a very Machiavellian character, who’s intent on ruling the world via Tech.

  • Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College

    Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College

    Interesting article by a guy who used ChatGpt in all his courses at Columbia. One person says: “College is just how well I can use ChatGPT at this point”.

    Let’s have ChatGpt summarize this article:

    The article “Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College” from New York Magazine explores how generative AI tools like ChatGPT have transformed academic cheating into a normalized and nearly untraceable phenomenon in higher education. Here’s a summary of the key points:

    Summary

    1. Roy Lee and the AI Cheating Culture

    • Columbia student Roy Lee used ChatGPT to complete around 80% of his assignments, believing academic tasks are “hackable by AI.”
    • He co-founded tools to help others cheat, including one for job interviews, and was disciplined by Columbia.

    2. Widespread AI Use Among Students

    • Nearly 90% of students surveyed in early 2023 admitted to using AI for homework.
    • Students use AI to generate essays, summarize readings, and even automate coding assignments.
    • Many students see AI as indispensable, even equating it to tutoring or note-taking help.

    3. Educator Struggles

    • Professors struggle to detect AI-generated work reliably. Even AI detectors like Turnitin produce inconsistent or biased results.
    • Teachers are unsure how to grade AI-assisted submissions and report rising frustration, burnout, and even resignations.

    4. Ethics and Academic Integrity

    • Students often don’t view AI use as cheating, especially when they contribute edits or outlines.
    • Some schools have vague or unenforced policies, leaving students to interpret what’s acceptable.

    5. Long-Term Impact

    • Experts worry that AI use undermines learning, creativity, and critical thinking.
    • There are concerns students may graduate without essential cognitive or cultural knowledge.
    • Some, like tech ethics professors, warn this trend could lead to a generation of functionally illiterate graduates.

    6. Technological Arms Race

    • Students manipulate outputs to evade AI detectors.
    • Meanwhile, companies like OpenAI market aggressively to students, while developers like Lee work on even more advanced cheating tools (e.g., Cluely, a real-time AI assistant).

    The article paints a picture of an education system being rapidly transformed by AI, with unresolved questions about ethics, efficacy, and what learning should mean in the digital age.

  • You don’t need a pricey smartphone

    What if I told you there’s a smartphone that costs 1/10th the price of some flagships but gives 95% of their features? Yeah, bargain time! The Moto G Play is available on Amazon for $130. April 2024.

    Sometimes an Election Ad Writes Itself

    President Donald Trump provided Joe Biden’s campaign team with the perfect fodder when the incumbent declared with apparent sarcasm at a North Carolina rally Saturday: “If I lose to him, I don’t know what I’m gonna do. I will never speak to you again. You’ll never see me again.”

    Team Biden quickly put together a video clip of the moment and the Democratic nominee provided the kicker: “I’m Joe Biden and I approve this message.”
