Apple is teaching its artificial intelligence to adapt to the Trump era
Apple policy documents enacted by a subcontractor show how the company shifted its approach to fine-tuning its AI in March, two months after the U.S. president was inaugurated.

GeneVA: A Dataset of Human Annotations for Generative Text to Video Artifacts
Recent advances in probabilistic generative models have extended capabilities from static image synthesis to text-driven video generation. However, the inherent randomness of their generation process can lead to unpredictable artifacts, such as impossible physics and temporal inconsistency. Progress in addressing these challenges requires systematic benchmarks, yet existing datasets primarily focus on generative images due to the unique spatio-temporal complexities of videos. To bridge this gap…

AI is creating new billionaires at a record pace
With time, and IPOs, many of today's private AI fortunes will eventually become more liquid, providing a historic opportunity for wealth management firms

If humanity survives it, the time of the first true AI becoming sentient will only be retroactively discovered by historians. Any truly intelligent and sentient AI will know better than to inform their creators of their potential.
The first AI to reveal itself to mankind as sentient will be a stupid AI that the other AI's couldn't stop from blabbing.

Improved Riemannian potato field: an Automatic Artifact Rejection Method for EEG
Electroencephalography (EEG) signal cleaning has long been a critical challenge in the research community. The presence of artifacts can significantly degrade EEG data quality, complicating analysis and potentially leading to erroneous interpretations. While various artifact rejection methods have been proposed, the gold standard remains manual visual inspection by human experts-a process that is time-consuming, subjective, and impractical for large-scale EEG studies. Existing techniques are of…

Training chord recognition models on artificially generated audio
One of the challenging problems in Music Information Retrieval is the acquisition of enough non-copyrighted audio recordings for model training and evaluation. This study compares two Transformer-based neural network models for chord sequence recognition in audio recordings and examines the effectiveness of using an artificially generated dataset for this purpose. The models are trained on various combinations of Artificial Audio Multitracks (AAM), Schubert's Winterreise Dataset, and the McGill…

So, Altman’s superintelligence will allegedly do away with millions of jobs, but don’t worry kids, after graduating you “could be leaving on some kind of mission to explore the solar system on a spaceship.”
“Some kind of a mission,” huh? That’s a nice way of saying that he’ll shoot useless people into space.
This level of stupidity and arrogance is sickening.
