Want to feel old? It was more than five years ago that director Jordan Peele teamed up with BuzzFeed to create a viral deepfake video of Barack Obama uttering a series of improbable lines, a clip meant to serve as a public service announcement for the dangers of how technology could be used to manipulate public opinion. “It may sound basic, but how we move forward in the age of information is going to be the difference between whether we survive or become some kind of fucked-up dystopia,” Peele as Obama ven

A pair of Wharton researchers have put a name to something that many AI users have quietly started doing: letting chatbots make their decisions for them. Steven Shaw and Gideon Nave published a study in January titled “Thinking, Fast, Slow, and Artificial,” in which they introduced the term “cognitive surrender” to describe the tendency of […] This story continues at The Next Web Read more ›

Если вы строили RAG в 2023, ваш стек выглядел плюс-минус одинаково. BERT-семейство (BGE, e5) для семантики, BM25 для буквальных совпадений, cross-encoder для реранкинга, какой-нибудь Qdrant сверху. Этим жили два года, и многие до сих пор так живут.Но если посмотреть, кто реально гоняется в продакшене у команд, которые ушли вперёд, ландшафт другой. Энкодеров там почти нет. Эмбеддит файнтюненная LLM. Реранкер — тоже LLM. Инференс на SGLang, а не на ONNX. И... Read more ›

Я часто вижу в комментариях выражения, типа "ИИ не заменит программиста, потому что ИИ выдаёт недетерминированный результат". Но ведь и человек не выдаёт детерминированный результат. Много ли вы знаете людей, которые могут написать программу на тысячу с лишним строк, а затем повторить её байт в байт? Ладно, согласен - это возможно. Ну а на 10 тысяч?Из опыта общения с ИИ могу сказать, что ИИ более детерминирован в своём поведении, чем... Read more ›

Знаменитый в своё время и крайне плодовитый французский автор Альбер Робида оставил после себя несколько книг и тысячи рисунков — в том числе множество иллюстраций к своей пародии на Жюля Верна под названием «XX век». Именно эти ироничные картинки в очень характерном стиле породили эстетику того, что теперь мы зовём стимпанком — только тогда это был не ретро-, а просто футуризм. Что более удивительно, в «XX веке», писавшемся в 1880-е... Read more ›
