#LinkedIn - on the way to be a more toxic -social network - or on the way to just be something to train the Microsoft AI on? Or worst of both worlds?
The Canadian Globe and Mail's tech #podcast "Lately" has an episode about how "LinkedIn is weird now" and it shows what @pluralistic Cory Doctorow is showing again and again: Enshittification is happening!

#AI delivers

By design #generativeAI delivers whatever.
How it works is that the engineer takes obtained #data, grabs some probabilities and then the software outputs answers at scale.
If answers could be "true" is out of the scope.

#AI performs

By design #generativeAI is extremely hungry in resources: https://mas.to/@maugendre/111841507744115766

#AI already serves to transform ways of working. You can even industrialize killing: https://techhub.social/@estelle/111505251994013079

"The emphasis on human oversight as a protective mechanism allows governments and vendors to have it both ways: they can promote an algorithm by proclaiming how its capabilities exceed those of humans, while simultaneously defending the algorithm and those responsible for it from scrutiny by pointing to the security (supposedly) provided by human oversight."

#AI#GenerativeAI#OpenAI #Nvidia#Apple#Microsoft: "Nvidia Corp., the world’s biggest chipmaker, has discussed joining a funding round for OpenAI that would value the artificial intelligence startup at more than $100 billion, according to people familiar with the matter.

Apple Inc. and Microsoft Corp. also have been in talks about participating in the financing, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the deliberations are private. The round would be led by Thrive Capital, which is investing about $1 billion, Bloomberg reported earlier this week. Nvidia has discussed investing about $100 million, two of the people said.

If the discussions move forward, it would mean the three most valuable tech companies are all backing OpenAI, maker of the groundbreaking ChatGPT chatbot. Microsoft was already OpenAI’s biggest funder, having invested roughly $13 billion."
