La IA entrenada con IA basura produce basura
A medida que proliferen las pรกginas web basura escritas por la IA, los modelos que se basan en esos datos sufrirรกn las consecuencias.MIT Technology Review
me parece tan surrealista el artรญculo. "Cientรญficos con teorรญas conspiranรณicas de una tecnologรญa creada por cientรญficos". Desde el principio se trata de conocer sus limitaciones y de poco en poco vaya mejorando paralelamente a la tecnologรญa.
Simplemente estรกn publicando resultados, basรกndose en modelos actuales como ejemplo. Pero eso no limita el que las teorรญas en que se basan y los lenguajes no permitan seguir evolucionรกndolo. No estamos ni al comienzo de todo รฉsto
la primera suerte de implementaciรณn de una IA en una mรกquina de cรกlculo data de 1951, Alan Turing con su Mark I. Una mรกquina de 5 toneladas con 16*3 metros y 2,5 de alto, y que podรญa jugar al ajedrez.
Fue en 1956 cuando se acuรฑรณ el tรฉrmino "Inteligencia Artificial" como tal, para referirse a los estudio de recrear inteligencia por medio de ordenadores
en 1972 un Doctor en una universidad ya chateaba en msdos con una IA rudimentaria, "Chatterbox". En los 90 la revista Micromania distribuรญa una especie de Shareware con una cara parlante que le preguntabas cosas. Tambiรฉn IBM y su Deep Blue, dรกndose de leches con Kaspรกrov.
Entre los nazis soltando bulos por doquier y ahora "quรฉ viene la IA, es nuestra perdiciรณn..". Bajemos un poco todos a tierra. Es una herramienta mรกs
totalmente de acuerdo. Por eso mismo no es sostenible la dependencia de grandes corporaciones y sus modelos depredadores.
Hay sectores mรกs tochos en que el cambio es mรกs lento debido a la misma infraestructura como paรญs o sociedad.
En cuanto a la revoluciรณn tecnolรณgica y digital sรญ tenemos mรกs a mano "desconectar" de estas corporaciones, adoptando modelos mรกs respetuosos. Se trata de trastear en PCs antiguos y montar mini servidores a nivel personal, entre amigos, vecinos o barrios
Llevamos mรกs de 50 aรฑos con IA y ahora es cuando el nivel de cรกlculo computacional abre las puertas de forma masiva, pero no se ha dejado de evolucionar ni se dejarรก.
Igualmente, hay que encontrar un balance justo para todo esto

I'm quite excited for the Starship Troopers: Extermination single-player
Starship Troopers: Extermination is already a fun game, but the initial Early Access release was short-lived due to a lack of content. Over time, Offworld have really built it up and the new upcoming single-player mode has me really excited.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
I absolutely adore the original film. That said something that often seems to be missing from franchise spinoffs after, including this trailer, is the sense of satire suggesting that the Federation may actually be a propaganda spewing cause of the war with the bugs rather than just the "might is right" good guys.
I miss the poking fun at unthinking American militarism that I loved in Starship Troopers.

It's nice to see someone talking sense about the whole blue light silliness!
How much does your phoneโs blue light really delay your sleep? Relax, itโs just 2.7 minutes
Itโs one of the most pervasive messages about technology and sleep. Weโre told bright, blue light from screens prevents us falling asleep easily. Weโre told to avoid scrolling on our phones before bedtime or while in bed. Weโre sold glasses to help filter out blue light. We put our phones on โnight modeโ to minimise exposure to blue light.
But what does the science actually tell us about the impact of bright, blue light and sleep? When our group of sleep experts from Sweden, Australia and Israel compared scientific studies that directly tested this, we found the overall impact was close to meaningless. Sleep was disrupted, on average, by less than three minutes.
How much does your phoneโs blue light really delay your sleep? Relax, itโs just 2.7 minutes
The message that blue light from screens stops you from falling asleep is essentially a myth, albeit a very convincing one. Hereโs whatโs really going on.The Conversation

"There's no machine known that is more efficient than a human on a bicycle. Bowl of oatmeal, thirty miles. You can't come close to that."
โNot surprising that Bill Nye, the Science Guy, has known about the efficiency of the bicycle for a long time.
"The bicycle is the most efficient machine ever created. Converting calories into gas, a bicycle gets the equivalent of three thousand miles per gallon."
