Just to avoid confusion:

These scientific ML methods have nothing to do with the ubiquitous and more widely known generative AI like GPT.

That both are called AI is unfortunate - and often a psychological trick to give credibility to genAI based on successes of scientific ML.

Whenever you read about AI helping scientific discovery (cancer research, protein folding, ...) it's not the same as ChatGPT.

"The short version is that YouTube used AI to 'enhance' the videos of Rick Beato and Rhett Shull. YouTube used an AI smoothing filter that made the videos look like they were AI generated, and didn’t tell Beato, Shull, or their viewers that they were doing it. They only admitted to it after the two made videos proving it happened, later claiming it was only a 'limited test'.”

"At precisely 4:00 PM Eastern Time on November 19, 2025, Nvidia Corporation released third-quarter earnings that exceeded Wall Street expectations. Revenue reached $57.01 billion against a consensus estimate of $54.9 billion. Earnings per share came in at $1.30 versus the anticipated $1.26. The stock surged 5% in after-hours trading, adding approximately $130 billion to the company’s market capitalization.

Eighteen hours later, the Nasdaq Composite closed down 1.21%. Nvidia’s gains evaporated. Bitcoin, which had briefly rallied, fell 2.07% to $89,567. What happened in those 18 hours represents something unprecedented in financial markets: algorithmic trading systems detected accounting irregularities faster than human analysts could read the earnings footnotes.

This is the story of that detection, the fraud it uncovered, and the systemic collapse now unfolding in real time."

"History shows us that the right to literacy came at a heavy cost for many Americans, ranging from ostracism to death. Those in power recognized that oppression is best maintained by keeping the masses illiterate, and those oppressed recognized that literacy is liberation. To my students and to anyone who might listen, I say: Don’t surrender to AI your ability to read, write and think when others once risked their lives and died for the freedom to do so."

WARNING: Do NOT ignore #Gmail's new #AI scanning default settings. 1.8 billion users automatically opted in to allow Gmail access to all private messages & attachments to train AI models since June 2024.

Here's what happened:

1. Gmail enabled "Smart Features" by default for ALL users without clear notification.

2. They tied basic functionality like spell checking to AI scanning (i.e., if want spell check you need to accept full email analysis).

PSA to anyone who uses Gmail!

"Reportedly, Google has recently started automatically opting users in to allow Gmail to access all private messages and attachments for training its AI models. This means your emails could be analyzed to improve Google’s AI assistants, like Smart Compose or AI-generated replies. Unless you decide to take action."
