Google Is Paying News Outlets to Unleash an Avalanche of AI Slop

Google swears it’s not trying to kill journalism, but many of its latest projects seem geared toward that end. Google is paying five-figure sums to small publishers asking them to test out a generative AI platform geared toward newsrooms. News outlets are asked to publish three of these AI-assisted articles a day, in exchange for sending analytics and feedback to Google, according to a report from Adweek on Tuesday.No Google AI Search, I Don’t Need to Learn About the “Benefits of Slavery” “The experimental tool is being…

AI Against AI – DZone

In today's digital age, the proliferation of Deepfake technology and voice phishing (vishing) tactics presents a significant challenge to the authenticity and security of digital communications. Deepfakes manipulate audio and video to create convincing counterfeit content, while vishing exploits voice simulation to deceive individuals into revealing sensitive information. The need to accurately identify and mitigate these threats is paramount for protecting individuals and organizations from the potential consequences of…

Google Will Relaunch Gemini in a ‘Few Weeks,’ After Its Racial Controversy

Google launched a new AI image generator earlier this month that, for all intents and purposes, was incapable of generating consistent images of white people. As you might expect, rightwing influencers wasted no time in noticing this issue and promptly accused the tech giant of reverse racism. After temporarily disabling the image generator’s capabilities last week, Google now says that it will take another stab at launching the app soon. No Google AI Search, I Don’t Need to Learn About the “Benefits of Slavery” “We have…

Move Over OpenAI, Microsoft Has a New Darling Startup

Microsoft announced a new partnership with Mistral AI on Monday, a French startup whose advanced large language models rival OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot. Mistral also released Mistral Large, its most advanced language model to date, and “le Chat,” a chat interface built on top of Mistral’s models.Warning! Microsoft Wants ChatGPT to Control Robots NextThe multi-year partnership marks a mainstream embrace of Mistral, which has shocked the AI community with its world-leading technical abilities.

Meet ‘Groq,’ the AI Chip That Leaves Elon Musk’s Grok in the Dust

Groq, an AI chip company, wants everyone to forget about Elon Musk’s snarky chatbot with nearly the same name, Grok. Lightning-fast demos from Groq went viral this weekend, making current versions of ChatGPT, Gemini and even Grok look sluggish. Groq claims to provide “the world’s fastest large language models,” and third-party tests are saying that claim might hold up.Why is Everyone Suing AI Companies? | Future TechIn a split second, Groq produces hundreds of words in a factual answer, citing sources along the way,…

Vector Database for LLMs – DZone

Understanding Vector Databases A vector database is a type of database specifically designed to store and manage vector data using arbitrary but related coordinates to related data. Unlike traditional databases that handle scalar data (like numbers, strings, or dates), vector databases are optimized for high-dimensional data points. But first, we have to talk about vector embeddings. Vector embeddings are a method used in natural language processing (NLP) to represent words as vectors in a lower-dimensional space. This…

How to Use Deep Learning to Process and Analyze Audio Data

How to Use Deep Learning to Process and Analyze Audio Data for Various Tasks and Domains Audio data is a type of unstructured data that contains information about sound waves, such as frequency, amplitude, and phase. Audio data can be used for various applications, such as speech recognition, music generation, noise reduction, and audio classification. However, audio data is also complex and noisy, which makes it challenging to process and analyze. Deep learning, a subset of machine learning, leverages…

‘Rat Dck’ Among Gibberish AI Images Published in Science Journal

This week, the scientific journal Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology published research featuring bogus imagery made with Midjourney, one of the most popular AI image generators.Like It or Not, Your Doctor Will Use AI | AI UnlockedThe open-access paper explores the relationship between stem cells in mammalian testes and a signaling pathway responsible for mediating inflammation and cancer in cells. The paper’s written content does not appear to be bogus, but its most eye-popping aspects are not in the research…

Fine-Tuning Large Language Models on Custom Data

Large Language Models (LLMs) are advanced artificial intelligence systems designed to understand and generate natural language text. They are trained on extensive datasets of text from the internet including books, websites, and articles, allowing them to learn language patterns, grammar, and a wide range of information. As a result, LLMs generate coherent and contextually relevant text based on the input they receive. LLMs are constantly evolving and learning new tricks, pushing the boundaries of what's possible with…
