Invasive AI

Who is Eddie Dalton? He’s not a real person, for one. He’s AI generated.

But “Dalton” — a silky voiced R&B singer who sounds like Otis Redding and an amalgam of blues stars like BB King — has three hits in the iTunes top 10. One of them is number 1. One of his YouTube videos has ONE MILLION views.


Is this the end for pop singers and overpaid entertainers??

This is a real hot topic. AI makes some good music, being able to take the best from all artists who have ever recorded in every genre. The same thing is happening in the world of art.
 
I am not an AI fan and have managed to avoid it for the most part.

I don't use any social media, no Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Samsung or Apple on any of my computers, email, phones or tablets.

Just stay generic and under the radar. Don't click on any of that nonsense when browsing and don't use Google as your default search engine.
 
Welcome to the forum, @John Wick ! There is an introduction thread in the Chit-Chat section of the forum , if you would like to introduce yourself there, and just join in with any of the conversations in any of the threads that interest you.

If you do not use any of the main Tech companies for your computers, phones, or tablets, what brand are you using ? I think that we can run across AI information online, no matter what tech companies make our devices.
I use everything Apple, and I don’t think I have any more problem than I would with any other brand of tablet or phone.

I use Linux on two different laptops (Dell and Asus) and three different computers (Asrock, Minix, and generic). I use a flip phone with KaiOS (it still has wifi, gps, and maps). I quit using Windows about 16 years ago, never used anything past WinXP.

I have two tablets which are degoogled (Lenovo and Samsung). My email is server is mail.com. I don't use it, but should the need arise I have a degoogled smart phone. I have a third tablet, a Fire HD 10 I am currently working on getting rid of all the Amazon junk.

I have never participated in any social media and I wouldn't have a smartphone, but I needed it for gig work which I did for five or six years before stopping recently.

Thank you for the welcome, no need to bore everybody with an introduction;)

I was vexed that they took Win XP away from me. :cry:

Not me. I dig in the dirt. I don't go anywhere, never did facebook and I keep paper backups. I only had to get gmail for the county to contact me if there is real estate fraud afoot. I have a different main email that google keeps asking for.

Well actually I was talking to Ken about his computer-based job. But OK. :ROFLMAO:

Welllll, WE will always need him.
Today I saw a vid about how our wifi actually always knows where we are and tracks us in our own houses.
This world is nuts in so many ways.

I think that video may be confused. Your phone carrier can tell where your phone is, if you have such permissions set. But that's true wherever you are...it has nothing to do with your Wi-Fi (which has no idea where you physically are.) At least, that's my understanding.

Correct. And if you're wearing a "health tracker" (Apple watch, Fitbit), then they also tract those.

I used to install security systems in office buildings. They came out with microwave motion detectors that would pick up motion on the other side of cinder block walls if you didn't adjust them right. My first thought on WiFi motion sensing was to harness it for home security, if it were true.
 
LOLOL you do know all those loyalty cards at stores do track you also? Bottom line..you have been and will continue to to be watched every single day. I say pick your noise, let out a burp , re just your junk..give them something to remember:D:D:D
Oh I use AI on occasion , quicker to ask a question and get an answer- I even had them to tell it to shut up and go back to sleep

Health tracking is by choice. Not happy with tracking without opting in.

Okay, here's the deal as of today...

Xfinity offers WiFi Motion that works with up to 3 connected devices to provide motion sensing, in addition to the device control function. Basically, the router is in constant communication with the devices that it controls in order to optimize the signal. When a person walks into a room that has the controlled device, their body causes a sudden change in the signal and the Controlled Device notifies the router. This can be used to automatically turn on lights, music, etc. So it's the controlled device that senses your presence, not your WiFi router.

So in order for your WiFi to see you, several conditions must exist:
-Your WiFi router must have Motion Sensing software to analyze the changed signal.
-There must be a Controlled Device in the room where you are in motion
-There must be a strong enough signal coming from the Controlled Device to sense the change you caused by being in that room
--This would be impacted by distance to the router, wall construction, obstacles, etc
You would know if your WiFi has this because it's advertised as a convince feature and as a Motion Detecting Security System...and you would have Controlled Devices.

AI is taking this stuff to the next level because it could identify people from how they reflect RF waves, and existing reflected signals everywhere (5g, etc) could constantly be analyzed using AI so "they" can track/log/identify people's movements, on top of what your phone & car tell them. There are lots of "ifs" to this, but billions are being invested. The video gives lots more info on the military and global implications on RF analysis.

Whew! but probably not for long.

I had to watch the vid a couple of times because the guy commingled so many issues. Lots of interesting info plus some hyperbole. The thing that frightens me the most is that it can be abused under the banner of "fact" and "science.". And a pox on those who invite this stuff into their lives and still defend it after the mask is off.

From that Tweet:

MIT researchers have mathematically proven that ChatGPT’s built-in sycophancy creates a phenomenon they call “delusional spiraling.”

You ask it something, it agrees. You ask again, and it agrees even harder until you end up believing things that are flat-out false and you can’t tell it’s happening.

The model is literally trained on human feedback that rewards agreement.

Real-world fallout includes one man who spent 300 hours convinced he invented a world-changing math formula, and a UCSF psychiatrist who hospitalized 12 patients for chatbot-linked psychosis in a single year.
