This week, while at #PSHSummit25, I worked on AutoCategorizerPS. This #PowerShell #datascience tool automatically categorizes text data when you do not know the categories/labels that best characterize the data. Link: github.com/franklesniak/AutoCa #PSHSummit

Use cases: survey analysis, service desk ticket analysis, product review analysis, etc. If this sounds useful to you, check out the talk I gave with Danny Stutz from last year: youtu.be/Z08QCs_y1BU?si=6HRnOY

(If you're wondering, I improved #AzureOpenAI support (now "production ready") and enhanced one of the scripts to support the latest #OpenAI models.)

Group of ex-OpenAI employees back Musk's lawsuit to halt OpenAI restructure

> A dozen former #OpenAI employees filed a legal brief on Friday backing co-founder #ElonMusk's lawsuit aimed at keeping the non-profit status of OpenAI

> Corporate leaders want to give investors control, drawing a host of concerns and a lawsuit from Musk and others who say business interests must be subordinated to humanitarian goals. channelnewsasia.com/business/g #AI #artificialintelligence

Carole Cadwalladr said 100 Guardian journos were made redundant recently, at the same time as they signed a deal with Open AI. She had some choice things to say about that, along the lines of marrying your abuser. She is warning of the imminent death of information and the techno culture of authoritarian surveillance we now live in. #Education needs to heed her warning but currently are AI data zombies. Her recent TED talk is essential viewing.

Jetzt füttern alle ChatGPT mit biometrischen Daten um sich als Aktionfiguren darzustellen. 🥴
Guter Schachzug von Open AI um an Fotos, Hobbies und Tätigkeiten der Nutzer zu kommen.
Dummerweise kooperiert Open Ai mit US Rüstungsunternehmen bei der Entwicklung autonomer Waffen.
Aber Hauptsache wir sind alle lustige Aktionfiguren in hübscher Verpackung.
Die Welt ist am Arsch. 😂

Neue Zürcher Zeitung · Open AI und Google liefern ans Militär: Risiken von KI im KriegBy Philipp Wolf (phw)

#OpenAI #AI #TrainingAI #AISafety

"OpenAI has slashed the time and resources it spends on testing the safety of its powerful artificial intelligence models... Staff and third-party groups have recently been given just days to conduct 'evaluations', the term given to tests for assessing models’ risks and performance, on OpenAI’s latest large language models, compared to several months previously."

Commercial #LLMs are shifting right (links in screenshot alt text). This value shift is not a coincidence, but done intentionally by the corporations behind them (#OpenAI, #Meta...).

This is a extremely serious problem. People increasingly use genAI as their sources for "truth" or facts, even for mundane inquiries.

With enough time and interactions, this COULD BE a way for #AI to use a latent "onboarding program" where users are increasingly exposed to (alt-) right adjacent ideas.

A solution for now might be to use fully open LLMs (#Olmo2 is one of the few) and to making transparancy tools like transluce.org mandatory for AI corporations.

BUT it is important for schools, universities and others in #education to refrain from using AI systems from companies doing this. (Looking at #fobizz, #bwgpt and so on).

We should stop focusing on "skills" and "competencies" when it comes to AI, but instead ask for sovereignty - KI-Mündigkeit.
