James Cameron on AI: 'I Warned You Guys in 1984'

 Here's a quote from the source site...

'But you didn't listen,' says 'Terminator' director

James Cameron says he's concerned about the rise of artificial intelligence—and it's something he warned about in the first Terminator movie, which he directed and co-wrote in 1984. "I warned you guys in 1984 and you didn't listen," the Canadian filmmaker told CTV in an interview this week. In The Terminator, Skynet, a self-aware artificially intelligent defense network trying to exterminate humanity sends a cyborg assassin, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, from 2029 to 1984. "I think the weaponization of AI is the biggest danger," Cameron told CTV. "I think that we will get into the equivalent of a nuclear arms race with AI, and if we don't build it, the other guys are for sure going to build it, and so then it'll escalate."

Cameron said it's important to regulate the AI industry, and to keep an eye on who is developing the technology, and why. He described developing AI for profit as "teaching greed" and developing it for defense as "teaching paranoia." He doesn't however, believe that
a "disembodied mind that's just regurgitating what other embodied minds have said" will be able to replace human screenwriters. "Let's wait 20 years, and if an AI wins an Oscar for Best Screenplay, I think we've got to take them seriously," he said.

As AI porn generators get better, the stakes get higher

 Here's a quote from the sources site... Porn generators have improved while the ethics around them become stickier A s generative AI enters   the mainstream, so, too, does AI-generated porn. And like its more respectable sibling, it’s improving. When TechCrunch  covered  efforts to create AI porn generators nearly a year ago, the apps were nascent and relatively few and far between. And the results weren’t what anyone would call “good.” The apps and the AI models underpinning them struggled to understand the nuances of anatomy, often generating physically bizarre subjects that wouldn’t be out of place in a Cronenberg film. People in the synthetic porn had extra limbs or a nipple where their nose should be, among other disconcerting, fleshy contortions. Fast-forward to today, and a search for “AI porn generator” turns up dozens of results across the web — many of which are free to use. As for the images, while they aren’t perfect, some could well be mistaken for prof...

Stability AI Team Introduces FreeWilly1 and FreeWilly2: New Open Access Large Language Models (LLMs)

Image
 Here's a quote from the source site... FreeWilly1 and its successor FreeWilly2 are powerful new open-source Large Language Models (LLMs) developed by Stability AI’s CarperAI team. Both models perform exceptionally well in reasoning competitions using many different metrics. Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) in the industry-standard Alpaca format was used to fine-tune the FreeWilly1 model, built on top of the original LLaMA 65B foundation model. FreeWilly2 uses the LLaMA 2 70B base model to achieve performance on par with GPT-3.5 on some tasks. We are live!
