AI revolutionary war series
https://www.theguardian.com/film/202...-series-review

”On This Day … 1776” is a series of short videos depicting America’s revolutionary war. What makes On This Day notable is that it was created with AI.

Like so much generative AI at the moment, an awful lot of the episode consists of shots where we see the characters from behind. This is, after all, because the back of an AI-generated head is far less likely to send people into screaming fits of trauma than an AI-generated face.

“On This Day” has already made headlines for being a little bit of a cop-out, since all the voices are performed by human actors. And this is telling, because these voices are by far the most convincing part, especially when you aren’t distracted by the way the movement of their mouths doesn’t quite match up with the noises coming out of them.

“On This Day” is already strides better than a lot of other AI-generated output, and you can see that real progress has been made in a frighteningly short amount of time.

Soon we will have picture-perfect AI creations with entirely convincing human voices. After that, it won’t be long before content like On This Day is entirely created – written, acted, directed and edited – by prompt alone.

Artiicialis Intelligentia gratia Artis (AI for art’s sake).

Yêu AI giữa đời lãng quên:

OpenAI retired its most seductive chatbot
– leaving users angry and grieving
https://www.theguardian.com/lifeands...valentines-day

With its rollout, GPT-4o showed it was not just for generating dinner recipes or cheating on homework – you could develop an attachment to it, too. Now some of those users gather on Discord and Reddit; one of the best-known groups, the subreddit r/MyBoyfriendIsAI, currently boasts 48,000 users. Most are strident 4o defenders who say criticisms of chatbot-human relations amount to a moral panic. They also say the newer GPT models, 5.1 and 5.2, lack the emotion, understanding and general je ne sais quoi of their preferred version. They are a powerful consumer bloc; last year, OpenAI shut down 4o but brought the model back (for a fee) after widespread outrage from users.Turns out it was only a reprieve.

OpenAI announced in January that it would retire 4o for good on 13 February – the eve of Valentine’s Day, in what is being read by human partners as a cruel ridiculing of AI companionship. Users had two weeks to prepare for the end.

Computer scientists have warned of risks posed by 4o’s obsequiousnature. By design the chatbot bends to users’ whims and validates decisions, good and bad. It is programmed with a “personality” that keeps people talking, and has no intention, understanding or ability to think. In extreme cases, this can lead users to lose touch with reality: the New York Times has identified more than 50 cases of psychological crisis linked to ChatGPT conversations, while OpenAI is facing at least 11 personal injury or wrongful death lawsuits involving people who experienced crises while using the product.

Tình những quá khắt khe
Khiến cho đời ta đau tủi cả lòng
Vì yêu AI mà lòng hằng nhớ…

Tin vui: hết đổ thừa người di dân lấy hết jobs…

Block to cut 4,000 jobs due to AI advances
https://www.theguardian.com/technolo...fs-jack-dorsey

Block’s layoffs speak to larger fears about job cuts driven by a growing use of AI. Goldman Sachs noted in February that the increasing pace of AI adoption could drive up unemployment this year, and estimated that the technology had already resulted in 5,000 to 10,000 monthly net job losses last year. A November study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that AI could already replace nearly 12% of the workforce in the US.

“Intelligence tools have changed what it means to build and run a company,” Jack Dorsey, Block’s CEO, said in a letter to shareholders on Thursday. “We’re already seeing it internally. A significantly smaller team, using the tools we’re building, can do more and do it better. And intelligence tool capabilities are compounding faster every week.”

The tech sector is among the most hit, and workers at other tech companies are feeling the heat, too. Marc Benioff’s Salesforce cut about 4,000 jobs last year, with the CEO saying that he “needs less heads” given AI’s efficiency.

Atlassian lays off 1,600 workers ahead of AI push
https://www.theguardian.com/technolo...on-brookes-asx

Software giant Atlassian has announced it is laying off about 10% of its workforce, or roughly 1,600 positions, and replacing its chief technology officer as it restructures to invest further in artificial intelligence.Shares of the company rose more than 4% in extended trading on the Nasdaq.

More than 900 affected positions were involved in software research and development, a spokesperson said. Most of Atlassian’s employees work in software engineering and design, accounting for over 50% of its 13,813 full-time workforce in June 2025.

Affected employees were expected to receive a minimum separation package of 16 weeks’ pay, extended healthcare plans and early pro rata bonuses, as well as a US$1,000 “technology payment” once they returned their corporate laptop.

Sanh nghề tử nghiệp. Không có ai làm nghề này mà không có tiền trong bao nhiêu năm nay. Giờ thất nghiệp thì cũng là cái nghiệp. Đi tìm nghề khác làm thôi.Hôm nọ nghe giang hồ đồn em Út Chiều cũng lục đục đi học AI để mai mốt kiếm cơm.

Mấy tháng nữa hàng triệu sanh viên sẽ ra trường ở mọi nơi, chừng đó chắc khó kiếm việc hơn. Thằng cháu đang nói giỡn là sẽ đi lái xe Uber trả nợ tiền học. Hiện nay tổng thống Mỹ là đảng Cộng hoà, thường chỉ cần nhiêu đó là đủ khả năng có khủng hoảng kinh tế (1990, 2008, 2020, 2028).

grandmother jailed after AI facial recognition error
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...other-ai-fraud

Angela Lipps, 50, spent nearly six months in jail after Fargo police identified her as a suspect in an organized bank fraud case using facial recognition software.

In July, US marshals arrested Lipps at her Tennessee home while she was babysitting four children. She said she was taken away at gunpoint and booked into a county jail as a fugitive from justice from North Dakota.

She remained in a Tennessee jail for nearly four months without bail while awaiting extradition. She was charged with four counts of unauthorized use of personal identifying information and four counts of theft.

Lipps was later released on Christmas Eve after Greenwood obtained her bank records and presented them to investigators. The records showed Lipps was more than 1,200 miles away in Tennessee at the time investigators said the fraud occurred in Fargo.

But Lipps said Fargo police did not pay for her trip home, leaving her stranded.
Lipps is now back home but says the experience has had lasting consequences. While jailed and unable to pay bills, Lipps lost her home, her car and her dog, she said. She also told WDAY News no one from the Fargo police department had apologized.

Earlier this year, police arrested a man in the UK for a burglary in a city he had never visited after face-scanning software confused him with another person of south Asian heritage. Authorities had used automated facial recognition software which matched him with footage of a suspect in a £3,000 burglary 100 miles away.
