I will give a webinar "Demystifying AI" targeted at non-technical people, primarily working in the third sector or consultants working for the third sector.

It's scheduled for 18 Sept, at 11:00 UK time, on Zoom.

If you are interested, let me know, I can DM you a link to the registration.

To be clear: I will be explaining why it is bad.

🐧 AI Is Now Being Used To Help Determine Patches For Backporting In The Linux Kernel - Phoronix

｢ Sasha Levin is employed by NVIDIA as a "Linux kernel hacker" and with patches for back-porting sent out by this Linux LTS co-maintainer there's beginning to be LLM-generated messages ｣

The terms “artificial intelligence” (AI) and “generative artificial intelligence” (Gen AI) are often conflated, but mean different things. In fact, the latter is a subset of the former.

A lot of what is (or once was) considered “AI” falls into the category of “symbolic AI” and is often overlooked. The boundary seems to shift over time as these algorithms go from being revolutionary to commonplace.

This post by Jeff Winter summarizes the ML side of things very well, but it doesn’t really dive into symbolic AI. Still, it’s a worthwhile read for anyone who wants a better understanding of where Gen AI fits in the broader context of AI overall.

"At each point the language model has done nothing more than make the next move in the conversation game. Like a good improviser it has formed no commitment beyond being consistent with what has gone on before, helping to continue the current scene."

'The digital commons should not be treated as an object ripe for extraction, but as an expression of “commoning” [Dulong de Rosnay and Stalder 2020]; i.e., as a manifestation of the practice of making, maintaining, and protecting shared and open resources.'
