Gentoo Council Implements Ban on AI-Assisted Contributions
by Giacomo Tesio April 24, 2024

April 24, 2024

Gentoo Council forbids AI-generated content from being made in contributions due to copyright and quality concerns. Over the past year, artificial intelligence has become an increasingly integral part of the tech ecosystem. This advancement is on its way to revolutionizing how businesses operate, offering enhanced efficiency and automating mundane tasks. At the same time, however, as AI technologies become deeply ingrained in the tech industry, they also usher in various concerns ranging from ethical dilemmas to potential quality compromises. In light of this, the Gentoo Council, a pivotal entity in the open-source community, recently made headlines by setting a significant precedent concerning AI-generated content. A couple of days ago, they enacted a policy explicitly prohibiting the contribution of any content created with the assistance of Natural Language Processing AI tools to Gentoo’s official projects. The Gentoo Decision: Motivations and Implications Several critical concerns underpin the Gentoo Council’s decision. Foremost among them are copyright issues. With copyright laws still catching up to the fast-paced evolution of AI, using AI-generated content could lead to legal entanglements and undermine the rigorous copyright standards that open-source projects like Gentoo strive to maintain. Additionally, there are apprehensions about the quality of AI-generated content. While AI can produce work that appears convincingly accurate, it often lacks the nuanced understanding necessary for high-stakes or technically demanding projects. For Gentoo, this risk is unacceptable, as it could dilute the quality of their projects and impose an undue burden on developers and users who would need to verify the accuracy of such contributions. Ethical considerations also play a crucial role in their policy. The AI industry’s rapid growth has not been without controversy, including accusations of copyright infringement in training models and concerns over the substantial environmental impact due to AI data centers’ immense energy and water usage. Moreover, the commercial deployment of AI has been linked to job disruptions, declining service quality, and the facilitation of scams and spam. All of these factors led Gentoo[1] to decide to openly ban the use of AI in any development related to it, making it the first distribution to make such a decision. For more information, visit the official announcement [2] <https://linuxiac.com/gentoo-council-implements-ban-on-ai-assisted-contribut…> [1] https://www.gentoo.org/ [2] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Council/AI_policy It is expressly forbidden to contribute to Gentoo any content that has been created with the assistance of Natural Language Processing artificial intelligence tools. This motion can be revisited, should a case been made over such a tool that does not pose copyright, ethical and quality concerns.

The “End of Programming” will look a lot like programming
by Lorenzo April 24, 2024

April 24, 2024

Segnalo questa opinione: https://ben11kehoe.medium.com/the-end-of-programming-will-look-a-lot-like-p… "In general, a lot of the AI takes I see assert that AI will be able to assume the entire responsibility for a given task for a person, and implicitly assume that the person’s accountability for the task will just sort of…evaporate? Like, if the AI got it wrong, it’s not your fault? But if you have no real way to ensure the task is correctly performed, they’re probably going to find someone else to accomplish that task after it’s failed a few times."

nuca rocks (?): Natural Nudity. AI Powered to be You. Just You.
by 380° April 24, 2024

April 24, 2024

Buongiorno, https://nuca.rocks/ --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Introducing a new kind of camera. Natural Nudity. AI Powered to be You. Just You. NUCA is a speculative design and art project by [Mathias Vef] and [Benedikt Groß]. The project aims to provoke and question the current trajectory of generative AI in reproducing body images. [...] NUCA is a speculative consumer product and not meant to be used uncontrolled in “the wild”. The generated images are not used in any way, except with explicit consent given. To ensure the safety of minors, the project is exclusively for adults. [...] This project prompts a crucial discussion on AI's potential, emphasizing consent, algorithmic fairness, and the societal impacts of AI-generated imagery. As Emanuel Maiberg and Samantha Cole put it, we must confront that we are facing an “explosion of non-consensual sexual imagery that's seeping out of every crack of internet infrastructure […] a new type of pornography in which humans are only a memory that's copied and remixed to instantly generate whatever sexual image a user can describe with words”. [[Source]] The current NUCA prototype is a 3d-printed camera (19.5 × 6 × 1.5 cm, 430g). The device is equipped with a 37 mm wide angle lens and an ergonomic grip. The viewfinder displays the input image and can be configured to show some of the input parameters e.g. pose detection in real-time. By pressing the trigger, the camera will create an estimated natural nude representation of the person being photographed. The inputs of the generative image process are the photo, the person's pose (estimated skeleton) and the landmarks of the person's face. The input photo is being analyzed by a custom classifier on 45 identifiers on gender, age, ethnicity, expression, hair, glasses, body shape etc. These ratings are then being used to generate a base image by formulating a prompt for a text-to-image AI (Stable Diffusion). The base image is a generic estimation of a nude person fulfilling this prompt. In the last step the image is then being individualized by taking the person's face and pose into account in the final development of the nude portrait.
