Nach Kritik an der KI-Synchronisation von „Deadly Patient“ hat Amazon den Film entfernt.
Der Fall macht deutlich, dass #KünstlicheIntelligenz menschliche #Synchronisation nicht einfach ersetzen kann. Qualität entsteht durch Interpretation, Timing und Emotion. Gleichz…

People often assume that LLM output is some kind of neutral "average" of "all knowledge" (or at least, most of the internet), and that perhaps it picks up and amplifies biases already present in the training data, but these are merely innate human biases to begin with. Already, that shouldn't be comforting, given how biased LLM resume-scanning systems are against female-sounding names, for example, but let's put that aside. We can actually see that LLMs also have intentionally engineered biases added to them in custom training steps:
You know all the LLM syncophancy? The way it agrees with whatever the user says, even if that contradicts itself, or something else the user said earlier? Where did that come from? How often in the internet pre-LLMs did you see someone disagree, only for the other person to immediately apologize and back down? Is that the average behavior on Reddit? On other internet forums? Even in private chat messages or on IRC?
In fact, the internet is legendary for the exact opposite behavior? Where did the collective reply-guy tendency of the training data go? It must have been painstakingly trained out of the model by OpenAI. There's a few viable approaches to this, but likely, it involved optimizing for continued conversation and/or some kind of "pleasantness" score, and that kind of optimization always has side effects. More to the point, if we know the big models are doing this kind of intentional tuning, there probably tuning for other stuff too, and in general, the output of the models is much closer to "things OpenAI wants it to say" than "things the internet would naturally have said" than we might suspect.

Abstract: Picosecond level timing resolution is a prerequisite capability for improved coincidence matching, time-of-flight measurements, and secondary vertex reconstruction. Here, we present the specification, design, and simulation results for a new Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), called PSEC6, in the TSMC 65nm process. It features 8 channels, a maximum sampling rate of 40 GSa/s, a buffer length of 204.8 nanoseconds, and a 10.24 GHz Phase Locked Loop (PLL), which is the first of its kind in the 65nm CMOS process. The event readout rate is 32 kHz, with the digitization done by an off-chip Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC).
Simulations predict a 4.0 GHz analog input bandwidth and 20 mW per channel during sampling; the 10.24 GHz PLL has a predicted jitter of 550 fs RMS at 15.7 mW. The paper describes the sampling architecture, chip signal paths, PLL design, and presents simulation results.

The Short End of the Stick
---
"Well damn! Come see this one!"
"Another inhabited planet?"
"Yeah but they really got the short end of the stick..."
"Let me see... Oh wow, they thought synthetic text had intelligence?"
"Yeah, or that it was like a God or something. Classic mistake. But just a second, let me scroll..."
"Oh. Oh wow. That's really unlucky. They had a language model cult happen at the same time as they were burning fossil fuels? Talk about bad timing, but... Oh god."
"Yeah it gets worse!"
"Stockpiling nuclear weapons? They actually used them?!? All that at once? Jeez this is one of the worst eras I've ever seen. Almost like a species with a death wish."
"You know better than that."
"Okay yeah that's not a species problem, I know. But what the hell was the social structure like? How did they survive all that at once?"
"Let's see... Here."
"Oh. Oh shit this actually makes sense. All that stuff wasn't a coincidence, they got hit by a real big wave of nationalism & oligarchy, one right into the other. I didn't even know it could be that bad before the instability flipped things. They had institutions... Yeah they were basically kept down by a few generations of oligarchs; had them pretty much enslaved and worshipping money at the same time. Serious obedience conditioning. Religions were doing it too. Whew that must have been a shitty time. Only a couple of centuries of the worst of it at least. Wait scroll further, what happened?"
"See here, and then here."
"Oh huh. Yeah I guess that flip had been a long time coming. Wow I definitely take back my comment about a death wish, this species is awesome! They made it through all that, haha."
"Yeah pretty cool, huh? Fuck obedience conditioning."
"Yeah, they had it so bad for a minute there. Fuck that bullshit."
"Hey... Wanna go do an intervention? Find some place that's in the middle of that stuff right now and see what we can do?"
"I was just thinking the same thing! But y'know what? Let's stop by this place first, and see if any of them want to come along. I'll bet some of them would be up for it given their history!"
"Well, it's been a couple dozen generations, so you never know how they'll view the history now, but sure, let's do that. The whole point of history is to inspire action, right?"
