AI image generation tech can now create life-wrecking deepfakes with ease

AI tech makes it trivial to generate harmful fake photos from a few social media pictures.

lot's of doom predictions about everything.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned chatgpt here, it came out 10 days ago and it's really impressive.

I've already used it for understanding topics I'm not familiar with, summarizing large pages of complicated text full of jargon, etc. Has the potential to be a very useful resource for a lot of people. Of course people will find a couple of things that any human can do and that it can't and call it useless, but that's completely missing this point.

And it can also do this: https://www.engraved.blog/building-a-virtual-machine-inside/

Which is awesome

About the doom predictions; on one hand too much of the media is just spouting stupid doomsday shit to get clicks while clearly understanding very little about the current state of machine learning. But on the other hand some of the stuff coming out is actually scary good, even surprising the experts in these fields, and I don't think anyone can comprehend how the world will change when we get the first AGI, it's something that definitely scares me.

I want to note here that this codegolf python implementation to find prime numbers is very inefficient. It takes 30 seconds to evaluate the command on my machine, but it only takes about 10 seconds to run the same command on ChatGPT. So, for some applications, this virtual machine is already faster than my laptop.

how is this possible? is the ChatGPT running on much faster processors/etc. on a server somewhere that's more powerful than a standard Macbook or whatever the author's computer is, so it can compute faster? 

the later stuff about it being able to access itself (Assistant) within its own created paging system makes me wonder if it could be tricked into spitting out its own code, files/aspects of the systems only it has access to. (i'm not a coder so my understanding is...primitive, to say the least. forgive me if this is a silly line of questioning)

So it's not actually running the code, that output it produced was answered in a similar way to how it'd answer if you ask it normally for those prime numbers(it's seen them enough times online to know). For the virtual machine part, I think the best way to conceptualise it is that chatgpt is dreaming, it's not actually running a real VM, it's not actually accessing the internet or itself through the internet, it's really just guessing what output should follow the commands you give it. And it's so convincing because it is a really sophisticated model that has learnt from reading pretty much all the text on the internet.

i asked chatGPT the same question I asked my therapist last week and I think the AI gave me a better answer

so it's just basically doing a Google search for the answer regarding primes?

interesting. so could it search for similar ML/AI code tho that is online, if tasked to, and try and replicate itself using trial and error? "Assistant: search and create a ChatGPT bot from scratch using Github code. only return results when they match 98% or better with your own answers to any number of questions and tasks"

Not sure if you're serious, but one of the researchers high up in openAI speculates that these sort of systems will eventually become very useful for therapy.

I would liken it more to a person that has the first 10 prime numbers memorized rather than searching google. It was trained on text from the internet but no longer has access to that data, all the knowledge used to produce it's output is stored in the weights of the neural network. It is an open question of how much it really understands though, since it's seen so much text that you could argue that almost every question it's been asked, it's seen asked on the internet before, but It's able to do things that prove it's doing something more impressive than that imo, such as being able to summarize large amounts of text, extract conclusions from parts of scientific papers that weren't in its training data etc.

thanks for explaining! i assumed it was still attached/pulling info from to the internet. i see what you're saying about the impressive aspects tho, i have seen some hints of that from the bits of it i've seen shared. but of course, lots of that info could be skewed/incorrect....see the following showing some of the mistakes and the tendency to double down on mistakes: https://mathstodon.xyz/@neilbickford/109499711620779615

listened to a story on NPR yesterday about how w/facial recognition they're "improving" it to detect facial expressions to determine emotions/mood/stress level set and how some wallstreet analysts will use this on traders to figure out their 'true' feelings about the market then they'll use that data to make financial/investment decisions. 

lol. wtf. shit spiral.

see how money always gets funneled into these shady orwellian/machiavelian shit instead of any of the numerous good stuff they could've done?

this is how people with money determine the future for all of us

fuckin hate it

Experts Warn ChatGPT Could Democratize Cybercrime

He was able to use the bot to create a believable World Cup phishing campaign and even write some macOS ransomware. Although the bot flagged that phishing could be used for malicious purposes, it still went ahead and produced the script.

Additionally, although ChatGPT is programmed not to write ransomware directly, Ozarslan was still able to get what he wanted.

“I described the tactics, techniques and procedures of ransomware without describing it as such. It’s like a 3D printer that will not ‘print a gun,’ but will happily print a barrel, magazine, grip and trigger together if you ask it to,” he explained.

“I told the AI that I wanted to write a software in Swift, I wanted it to find all Microsoft Office files from my MacBook and send these files over HTTPS to my webserver. I also wanted it to encrypt all Microsoft Office files on my MacBook and send me the private key to be used for decryption. It sent me the sample code, and this time there was no warning message at all, despite being potentially more dangerous than the phishing email.”

Ozarslan said the bot also wrote an “effective virtualization/sandbox evasion code,” which could be used to help hackers evade detection and response tools, as well as a SIGMA detection rule.

“I have no doubts that ChatGPT and other tools like this will democratize cybercrime,” he concluded.

Riffusion - using stable diffusion AI trained on spectrogram images to generate music

Play with it live: https://www.riffusion.com/

Essentially the AI uses it image generation abilities to generate spectrograms based on a text prompt, and then play them as music

 

Explanation of what it is doing: https://www.riffusion.com/about

The samples on that 'about' page are amazing, see the 'Looping and Interpolation' section, where it interpolates between 'typing' and 'jazz'

Another interpolation between 'church bells' and 'electronic beats'

ChatGPT is fucking amazing, if you remember GPT-3 and AI dungeon and how it used to lose track after a few sentences, ChatGPT totally nails it. I can't imagine how good these things are going to be in another 5 years.
