Instagram Tests AI-Based Tasks via DMs
"The next stage of generative AI is AI agents, or chatbot tools that will also be able to undertake projects or functions on your behalf. OpenAI recently took its first steps towards this, with the launch of its “Operator” app, which will be able to initiate web-based activities at your request. And now, Meta looks to be experimenting with early elements of the same, with a new task assignment add-on based on your DMs."
AI can fix bugs—but can’t find them: OpenAI’s study highlights limits of LLMs in software engineering
"After running the test, the researchers found that none of the models earned the full $1 million value of the tasks. Claude 3.5 Sonnet, the best-performing model, earned only $208,050 and resolved 26.2% of the individual contributor issues. However, the researchers point out, “the majority of its solutions are incorrect, and higher reliability is needed for trustworthy deployment.”"
Kate Bush and Damon Albarn among 1,000 artists on silent AI protest album
"More than 1,000 musicians, including Kate Bush, Damon Albarn and Annie Lennox, have released a silent album in protest against UK government plans to let artificial intelligence companies use copyright-protected work without permission, as a celebrity backlash builds against the proposals. The recordings of dormant music studios and performance spaces, called Is This What We Want?, are being released as leading cultural figures warn livelihoods are under threat from proposed changes to copyright law."
Instagram Explains How Its Algorithm Weighs Time Spent Watching Longer Clips
"Some creators have raised concerns that posting longer videos on IG could be a negative in this respect, because it would require longer watch time to reach a certain percentage threshold, which could make it harder for these longer clips to gain algorithmic favor. But Mosseri says that the system actually calculates not only relative watch time, based on completion rate of a clip, but also watch time in isolation."
Meta is firing about 20 employees for leaking
"Meta has fired “roughly 20” employees who leaked “confidential information outside the company,” according to a spokesperson. “We tell employees when they join the company, and we offer periodic reminders, that it is against our policies to leak internal information, no matter the intent,” Meta spokesperson Dave Arnold tells The Verge exclusively. “We recently conducted an investigation that resulted in roughly 20 employees being terminated for sharing confidential information outside the company, and we expect there will be more. We take this seriously, and will continue to take action when we identify leaks.”"
Teko?ly tajusi keskustelevansa toisen teko?lyn kanssa – hylk?siv?t tehottoman ihmiskielen
"Ohjelmistoyhti? Elevenlabsin Lontoossa j?rjest?m?n Hackathon-tapahtuman voitto meni Anton Pidkuikolle ja Boris Starkoville, joiden kehitt?m?ll? Gibberlink-teknologialla teko?ly voi keskustella toisen teko?lyn kanssa huomattavasti tehokkaammin kuin ihmism?isemmill? kielill? olisi mahdollista. Kaksikko yhdisti Elevenlabsin keskustelevaa teko?lyteknologiaa ??nen avulla tapahtuvan tiedonsiirron avoimen l?hdekoodin ggwave-kirjastoon. He rakensivat j?rjestelm?n, jonka avulla teko?lyavustaja voi tunnistaa, milloin se keskustelee toisen teko?lyn kanssa."
