  11. How Can We Prevent AI Models From Cannibalizing Themselves When Human-Generated Data Runs Out? 

    Getty Images While the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) systems has shown no sign of slowing, there's a growing concern that large language models (LLMs) will soon run out of human-made data to ingest and learn from. Once this happens, scientists say, AI models will increasingly rely on synthetic AI-made information, which will lead to an effect called "model collapse."......Continue reading...

    Checkmarx sprang into action to stop a TeamPCP intrusion after a Jenkins plugin was sabotaged, ruining engineers' weekend plans with a Saturday attack. The swift response thwarted another attempted breach by the same cyber actor.

  18. Weird as it sounds, I think we need an actual law, like some kind of bill of rights, that says you can't notify me on my phone without offering me highly fine-tuned control of each kind of message.

    Notifications intrude into my life. Sometimes my phone is on waiting for emergencies or other high-priority issues while I sleep. If a friend wakes me, I can have them dialed up or down in priority.

    But Android is designed so Audible won't let me have control of my audiobooks in the lock screen without notifications turned on, yet once I've done that, Audible has no compunction against advertising new book releases in the middle of the night via notifications. I should be able to get cash compensation in court for that.

    And my USB-C cable, once I plug it into my Android phone insists on randomly popping up an utterly inscrutible notification saying "you need to log in if you want to see notifications", or some such, and then when I do there is no notification to see. It was just random.

    And Android Auto likes to give me two completely pointless notifications, one when I plug my phone into the car and one saying Android Auto is available. The first one I don't need a notification about because I just plugged in my phone. But more importantly, the second one is a lie. Android Auto MIGHT be available and it confirms nothing. The handshake may have been done wrong, so all it tells me is the thing I know already, which is that Android Auto is on the phone. But I might have to pull the plug and replug it to be properly connected. So the notification is worse than pointless and just floods my screen with stuff I don't care about that appears to need immediate attention. And then Android asks, as soon as I disconnect it, how my experience was. I always say "Bad" because part of my experience is getting asked that pesky message that I do not want and would happily say "never do this".

    These all seem like technical problems, but they are not. They are reminders that we no longer control our lives, that companies can, at a whim, intrude into our lives with pointless rituals that whittle away our existence. I'm not being metaphorical when I say we need laws on this. I absolutely mean that if we don't write strong law on this, it will only get worse. Or we need to enforce the 4th Amendment on a theory, like Larry Lessig has effectively said in the past, that programmatic code is effectively a kind of government that binds us and our choices in life as surely as legal code does.

    But what DO we get laws about? Having to login to use an operating system so they can track us better, know who we are and where we are at every moment. We need laws against such laws.

  23. Every time I visit Facebook, I get re-introduced to Manus, my new AI helper. I suspect that Manus can post innocuous messages for me so that I don't have to visit regularly. Nifty, if Manus can continue to handle the task ten years after I'm dead so that the ad revenues keep rolling in. Perhaps there is a story idea somewhere in there: a story I can write without AI help or intrusion.

    I'm waiting to see whether the Great AI in the Metaverse allows me to post this message.

  28. A quotation from Eric Hoffer

    A man is likely to mind his own business when it is worth minding. When it is not, he takes his mind off his own meaningless affairs by minding other people’s business.

    Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
    True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements, Part 1, ch. 2, § 10 (1951)
