I think that when computers and photo-shopping tools came along, people said the same thing

"As a woman, now I fear to post any single picture of myself online" -why do you publish your photos online at all? You give it to the whole world, and suddenly you have a problem with it?

besides, what you are writing about is an extreme case, and we deal with such cases through the courts. i don't think anything will change in this matter.

I work in production so we were filming a demo but the only thing that was set up was the processor, the trucks we worked on were actually just normal trucks that the facility got every day. Didnt work perfectly but that was mostly in the install process, once it was up it was churning.

There can be temporary protections or ways to detect deepfakes, but ultimately that battle will be lost. Tools like StyleGAN can produce faces of people that don't exist, so even if there is no photograph of you anywhere online, it can produce your face or something close to it.

I'd say our only hope is that we will lose interest in sex tapes when we're at the point we could assume they're all fake anyway.

Another way would be to use something like a Blockchain to prove videos are real. You wouldn't be able to prove when they're fake, but you could claim they're fake if they're not in the Blockchain at the appropriate time.

Negative ghostrider. Time to stop posting pics except privately to your trusted circle until something comes along. Also vote blue so that we can get more laws in more states on the books about this sort of thing. Sorry this is on your mind, its a reasonable fear (that someone you know may do this, not that you'll just get caught up in some massive web of deepfakes) but unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a reasonable solution yet.

then, by the end of the 5-10 minute checklist, did you restart your computer, did you update the app, did you try a different browser, did you try in 'private' mode to ensure no cookie conflicts, etc the non-english as their first language support will be out of ideas and pass you off to another support person only to repeat the process.

- my experience with comcast/xfinity customer support

I honestly can't wait for this to be replaced by a gpt model.

So the OP's question was:

> Do you think that we'll relinquish control of our infrastructure including farming, energy, weapons etc?

To which I said yes. The reason is because AI will be more efficient than us at running it, which will lead market forces to make us relinquish control to AI, or be out-competed by those who already did.

If things went south at a power station, only very few people can respond, and in all likelihood they will no longer be there as they have not been needed for some time.

Practically speaking - you may want an AI to balance a national grid to optimise the use of variable renewable energy.

Such an AI will not be under human control, as it will have to act quickly.

So just like that we have lost control, and if the AI wants to bring down the grid there is nothing we can do about it.

Fun starts here: https://platform.openai.com/examples/default-sql-translate

Then "all you need" is to create an API call with python to get the query from OpenAI and send that query to your database through another API call.

Start small, there's a lot of little quirks but the potential is definitely there.

I expect that in the coming years you will start to see a bunch of articles about the best practice on how to integrate an AI with a database.

Good luck.

So here is the thing. There was a report on the news a week ago about how there was a ton of nurses that didn't go to school. They used a degree mill to make it look like they went to school.

Then during it, the people in charge of doing the national test (which you need to do in order to be license. There is no way around this but to be legit licensed) brag about how only about 30% of them passed the test and how this proves how hard it is to be a nurse.

​

But what that told me is the restrictions of having them go to school is too high as is and the system is built on pure BS.

>If you are in a position that you have access to a database at work, I strongly suggest that you give it a try. It's surprisingly good.

I'll give it a try with synthetic data! Maybe I'll be surprised at the amount of finessing it doesn't take. I assume it's gonna take quite a bit to make it work, but I'll give it a shot!

Totally agree. The company's CTO or business users need to buy into this in order to allow resource allocation. It's promising, it just requires a hell of a lot of "human in the loop" at the moment in order to finess the data to a point that the AI could produce reliable results from hidden concepts and constructs in raw tables. I think the assumption currently is that your data is finessed already for GPT to take over and produce reliable and clean results. Those 10 data people will certainly be supported by data cleaning staff. That's where it should be anyhow. No data scientist likes spending the 80% of their time cleaning and prepping the data, but that's where we are now.
