If I had only…

If I had only…

forgotten future greatness

and looked at the green things and the buildings

and reached out to those around me

and smelled the air

and ignored the forms and the self-styled obligations

and heard the rain on the roof

and put my arms around my wife

… and it's not too late.

Hugh Prather, Notes To Myself

Neglect

Neglect creates distance between partners and breeds resentment in the one who is being ignored.

AI Definitions: Deep Neural Network

Deep Neural Network – A computer system with a structure inspired by neurons, or brain cells. It processes information in layers, with the deepest layers doing the most complex work. Scientists can train systems like these to “learn” human tasks, such as interpreting sounds. However, if understanding is inseparable from experience, then our physical embodiment may be difficult if not impossible to capture in symbolic processing systems.

Dealing with False Guilt

Here are 4 options when dealing with false guilt.

1. Remove the Source of Guilt (the conscience)
This may only desensitize us to actual wrongs and could lead to a denial of real evil in our lives.

2. Emphasize Self-Potential
This fails to address the underlying problems and ignores any real wrongs.

3. Emphasize Punishment
This can lead to feeling guilt when caught, ignoring legitimate conviction.

4. Emphasize Forgiveness
If the guilt is false, there lacks a basis for forgiveness and the person may feel they haven’t suffered enough.

When AIs are Bribed or Threatened

What’s bizarre about LLMs is that they act more like humans than we think they should. For example, some researchers have tested the hypothesis that LLMs perform better when offered a cash reward or threatened with death. It also turns out that some of the best ways to “jailbreak” LLMs (getting them to disobey their creators’ explicit instructions) look a lot like the kinds of social engineering tricks that humans use on each other: for example, pretending to be someone else or saying that the request is just a joke. But other effective jailbreaking techniques are things no human would ever fall for. One group found that if they used ASCII art (constructions of symbols that look like words or pictures) to pose dangerous questions, like how to build a bomb, the LLM would answer them willingly. - IEEE Spectrum

Why We Lie

A life of total dedication to the truth means.. a life of total honesty. It means a continuous and never-ending process of self-monitoring to assure that our communications – not only the words that we say but also the way we say them-invariably reflect as accurately as humanly possible the truth or reality as we know it. Such honesty does not come painlessly. The reason people lie is to avoid the pain of challenge and its consequences.

12 Ways to Spot AI Images or Videos

Tips for determining if an image or video is likely created by AI.

THE BACKGROUND. Are people in the background looking at the unusual thing going on? If they are going about their business, it is likely a fake. Often, the background of AI images will be distorted. Sometimes odd shapes in the background details are giveaways, such as floor tiles or walls. 

OTHER VIDEOS & PHOTOS. If the video or image is of a news event and there are no other videos or images showing different angles, it may be AI-generated. It is unlikely that there would be only a single image or video of something odd or newsworthy.

DETAILS. AI generators are not good at details—like fingers, hands and hair. Many times, AI software will show too many fingers or odd hand placement. Other oddities might be mismatched shoes or earrings, a misshapen jaw, or extra legs.

WRITING. Look closely at writing on a sticker, street sign or billboard. Watch for blurry writing when it shouldn’t be or wrongly formed letters, or the letters that don’t spell words.

GLOSSY. The overly glossy look, similar to some stock photos, can be an AI giveaway. Watch for people with plastic-looking faces.

THE SOURCE. Is the person or organization sharing the image reliable and not known for promoting AI-generated media?

THE EYES. In deepfake videos, people sometimes blink oddly or else they make strange eye movements. Researchers at Cornell University found deepfake faces don’t blink properly. Also, techniques devised for measuring galaxies, researchers have found that deepfake images don't have the same consistency in reflections in both eyes.

THE FACE. Look carefully at the area around the face for evidence that it was swapped onto another person’s body.

THE LIPS. Do the lips have abnormal movements and unrealistic positioning?

MOVEMENT. Watch for unnatural jumps or the absence of motion blur that is typically present in authentic videos. If creators manipulate AI-generated photos using Photoshop techniques such as blurring or file compression, they can fool detection tools.

PATTERNS. AI images often have abnormal patterns in the physics of lighting.

PHOTOMETRIC CLUES. Look at “photometric” clues such as blurring around the edges of objects that might suggest they’ve been added later; noticeable pixelation in some parts of an image but not others; and differences in coloration.

AI Definitions: Explainability

Explainability (or explainable AI; it is similar to but not the same as interpretability or interpretable AI) - While interpretability relates to understanding an AI’s inner workings, explainable AI focus on observed patterns in what the AI does to draw conclusions. Applied after a model has already made its decision or prediction, explainability offers insight into which features or variables played into the outcome in an effort to ensure accuracy, fairness and user trust. Explainability focuses on individual decisions, rather than the model as a whole. Because explainability techniques are applied after the fact, they can be used with any model. On the downside, it can oversimplify a model's decision-making process and make is often difficult for non-experts to understand. Some governments are requiring that AI systems include explainability.
