A legal loophole allows data brokers to collect your personal data and sell it to the highest bidder. This is used for all sorts of nefarious purposes - from spam email to more convincing deepfake calls (thanks, AI!).

To get your data off these websites, you need to either:

• Contact dozens of them individually; or
• Sign up to Incogni and never think about it again.

Incogni contacts dozens of data brokers on your behalf — getting your data off the web, and making sure it stays off.

OpenAI's GPT Next will be trained with approximately 100x the compute load of GPT-4. It will be released later this year. The true estimates suggest some of the compute load changes are also due to algorithmic improvements. The article is in Japanese.

Anthropic has released a useful set of starter projects. It has partnered with former heads of AI from Brex, Uber, Facebook, and others to help write the first Quickstart, a scalable customer service agent powered by Claude.

A report by the Data Provenance Initiative warns that generative AI models may suffer as websites increasingly restrict crawler bots, blocking access to high-quality data. This trend, driven by fears of data misuse, could shift AI training reliance from well-maintained sources to lower-quality data. Companies may turn to synthetic data or direct licensing to maintain AI model efficacy amid growing data scarcity.

Sam from Anthropic puts forward a guess as to what developers will need to accomplish for AI safety to succeed during the development of superhuman AI systems.

Researchers have developed Stable Control Representations to improve the fine-grained scene understanding in embodied AI agents. By using pre-trained text-to-image diffusion models, these representations capture detailed visuo-spatial information necessary for complex tasks.

This paper introduces a stochastic layer-wise shuffle regularization technique to overcome overfitting in Vision Mamba models, enabling them to scale up to 300M parameters while maintaining competitive performance with Vision Transformers (ViTs).

This project provides a deep reinforcement learning framework to improve the stability of visual odometry (VO) systems in environments with challenging lighting conditions.

This guide covers essential aspects of GPU purchasing, including pricing for different options, ensuring reliability, the importance of other hardware specs, and availability considerations. It addresses key questions buyers face when navigating the GPU market, from cost to performance and logistics.

An advanced ECG diagnostic system that uses self-supervised anomaly detection pretraining to improve the detection of rare but critical cardiac anomalies.

Reliant AI, co-founded by Karl Moritz Hermann, has secured a $11.3 million seed round to automate time-intensive literature reviews in academia with its AI product Tabular, which boasts zero-error data extraction from scientific publications. Utilizing LLMs and proprietary techniques, Reliant provides a user-friendly UI for researchers, improving efficiency over traditional methods. Its in-house hardware approach underscores a commitment to high-quality, domain-specific AI solutions for the research industry.

AI engineering is central to advancing AI technologies, with a particular emphasis on ethical development and responsible implementation. Professional orders, such as Italy's C3i, maintain quality standards and support engineers through continual training and ethical guidelines. The evolving field requires engineers to continuously update skills, innovate, and collaborate across disciplines to harness AI's full potential responsibly.

Meta has introduced an AI-assisted root cause analysis system using heuristic retrieval and LLM-based ranking, achieving a 42% accuracy rate in pinpointing root causes in its web monorepo investigations. Fine-tuning the Llama 2 model on historical data has been key to enhancing system accuracy. The company plans to expand AI tool integration, aiming for proactive risk mitigation and autonomous workflows.

The great RWKV models have included a local inference model with its cpp project.

Researchers at the University of Texas developed an AI that predicted 70% of earthquakes during a trial in China.

LLMs are increasingly integrated into coding workflows, receiving praise for boosting productivity, but some argue their effectiveness in programming is exaggerated.
