TacticAI: an AI assistant for football tactics
As part of our multi-year collaboration with Liverpool FC, we develop a full AI system that can advise coaches on corner kicks

Researchers gave AI an 'inner monologue' and it massively improved its performance
Scientists trained an AI system to think before speaking with a technique called QuietSTaR. The inner monologue improved common sense reasoning and doubled math performance.
"The method trains AI systems to think before they respond to prompts, just as

Google's new AI search results promotes sites pushing malware, scams
Google's new AI-powered 'Search Generative Experience' algorithms recommend scam sites that redirect visitors to unwanted Chrome extensions, fake iPhone giveaways, browser spam subscriptions, and tech support scams.
I don't know if scams promoted during Google search has increased after the Search Generative Experience' algorithms, but "Google's SGE is recommending spammy and malicious sites within its conversational responses, making it easier for users to fall for scams."
Again, I suppose we (watchers, at least to some degree computer literate) aren't very likely to be fooled, but the target are of course those who are.
One thing puzzles me: "In BleepingComputer's tests, the redirects most commonly lead you to fake captchas or YouTube sites that try to trick the visitor into subscribing to browser notifications."
Occasionally I get pop ups on web sites saying they would like to notify me of things, Yes or No (even the watch has done that). I've always said no, I don't see the use of notifications. If I want to know more about something, I go on my own initiative to places where I can find it. I don't need to be pushed. So why do people say yes?
One question: Are search engines(?) like DuckDuckGo also affected by this?

ChatGPT linked to declining academic performance and memory loss in new study
New research uncovers a concerning trend: while ChatGPT might aid students under academic pressure, its excessive use is linked to procrastination, memory loss, and poorer grades, highlighting a negative impact on education.

Belgian beer study acquires taste for machine learning
Researchers reckon results could improve recipe development for food and beverages

"The [Belgian] ale family has long been a favorite of connoisseurs worldwide, yet one group of scientists decided it could be brewed better with the assistance of machine learning."

Microsoft wants to stop you from using AI chatbots for evil

OpenAI’s voice cloning AI model only needs a 15-second sample to work
About ten developers have access to Voice Generation.

"According to OpenAI, its partners agreed to abide by its usage policies that say they will not use Voice Generation to impersonate people or organizations without their consent."

It's surprisingly difficult for AI to create just a plain white image
Generative AI services like Midjourney and OpenAI's DALL-E can deliver the unimaginable when it comes to stunning artifacts produced from simple text prompts. Sketching complex art imagery may be AI's specialty, yet some of the simplest tasks are evidently what AI struggles with the most.

Love me some good AI.
Insane if real. And I have no reason to believe it is not.
This is the dream for corporations and management. To relinquish responsibility and hide behind a computer making decisions.

The mechanical Turk was a robot playing chess, developed in 1770. Apparently it was very good at it as well.

Some of you may remember that back then computers were very slow, and definitely not with future-proof architecture. So, no surprise, it turned to be run by a natural intelligence rather than an artificial one, and is in general regarded as a hoax.
Now I'm tempted to employ Occam's razor. Since we know humans can perform intelligent operations, the simplest and therefore most likely explanation for the current AI boom is that in truth there are humans (probably more than one) operating it.
pibbuR who now is relieved.

Microsoft's new AI creates super-realistic talking-head deepfakes, and it made Mona Lisa rap
A new AI model by Microsoft Research Asia, VASA-1, can create incredibly realistic deepfakes based only on a single photograph and one voice sample. The model easily beats anything available today.

You reassure me; I thought I was the only one thinking that. I mean, it's obvious when you know all the people we can pay a few cent to solve captcha (check 20 - work as a captcha solver). They've only evolved to other tasks, like 'draw me a smiling Mona Lisa' or 'make a deepfake video of Musk fighting Zuckerberg'.
Let's found the Generative Ai Sceptical Party - or GASP, which should be the natural reaction after hearing about all this AI nonsense.
