Merged Artificial Intelligence

Claude Code can easily write efficient assembly language code targeting the MSPM0C1104, an arm32 Cortex SoC MCU with a whopping 1K of SRAM.

1M? Luxurious.

So we're talking about microcontrollers now? The MSPM0C1104 has 16kB of Flash ROM for program code. The SRAM is normally only used to store data.

1k of SRAM is luxurious compared the chips I'm working with, starting with the PIC12F508 at 25 bytes of SRAM and 512 words of Flash ROM.

No doubt Claude has already scraped all my published source code so it can pretend to code as well as me. I release my source code into the public domain so that humans can learn from it, not so trillionaires can make the world dependent on their data centers. AI won't be getting its grubby hands on any more of my source code.

Yes. I posted this back in August:

Introducing a New Label for AI-Generated Artist Identities on Spotify — Spotify

True artist-fan connection can only be built on a foundation of trust and authenticity. In music, that means listeners need to be able to trust that the artist behind the music is who they say they are. That’s more essential than ever in the age of generative AI. So this year, we’ve made Artist...

Yes, we're talking about microcontrollers to demonstrate how wildly off-base your post was. Using an LLM does not imply incorporating an LLM into your codebase or your OS, the code they write is not bloated at all, and they can easily target MCUs with far fewer resources than the antique computers you were talking about.

What's the relevance? 17K would still be significantly less than 1M.

1k of SRAM is luxurious compared the chips I'm working with, starting with the PIC12F508 at 25 bytes of SRAM and 512 words of Flash ROM.

And coding models can write code for them, too, so why bring it up, unless you want to be even wronger?

You don't understand how LLMs work at all, and it's amusing that you're attempting to position yourself as anti-trillionaire when there's only ever been one of those in the world and you worship him.

Billboard's Top Country Song Is Currently AI Slop

An AI-generated country song has topped Billboard's "Country Digital Song Sales" chart in the United States.

supposedly, there are very popular streaming stations that run AI country songs exclusively.

There used to be an Australian comedian, Slim Whittle, who first boasted this, but I think it is fair to say that this now takes the “o” out of Country Music.
 
A School with everything taught by AI, with teachers only assisting to make it happen, seems to be expanding every fast in many locations of the US.
Alpha School charges 40-50k/year, students primarily read books by tech entrepreneurs, use AI.
It's very sad that children have to suffer because their parents have succumbed to the AI cult.

A few accounts I follow are sceptical of how much credit is given to AI

Jimmy Wylie (@[email protected])

Framing the php2shell story as "AI uncovered php2shell" is like hearing an awesome song and crediting the guitar instead of the player. It's just incorrect and steals credit from a good researcher. The underlying bug was discovered in 2020, a related one in 2024, and they were both rediscovered...

It's like with the mathematics problems from a few weeks ago, the LLMs steal the human work that got most of the way there and through a procees of mass working on tens of thousands of problems solve a tiny perecentage.

A combination of plagiarism and texas sharpshooter fallacy.

Just Eat apologises for hilarious AI-generated food pictures

Just Eat has issued an apology after being humiliated on social media for using AI-generated images on its platform.
metro.co.uk metro.co.uk

“A Just Eat spokesperson said the company was ‘in the process of removing’ the images and would stop creating more until they had developed their AI system sufficiently.”

Or employ people to do it?

Looks like a bit of viral marketing to me. For example, the Chicken Burger with buns made of rice would need tailored prompting.

Not necessarily - that could have happened by simply passing the text description of the food after a general opening prompt of "provide photorealistic images of the following food: text description of the food" and if that input hadn't been sanitised it could be providing all sorts of weird inputs. For that rice burger perhaps some of the ingredients were passed in the description and there was rice flour listed, that could produce quite strange outputs. To me it looked like they hadn't done the rather obvious check of the output - which is that you pass it back to a LLM to describe the AI image and see if that somewhat matches the original description and if it doesn't either flag it for another go through the merry-go-round or heaven's forbid flag it for a human to look at it.

A human? Sounds expensive. Probably have to pay it wages and give it holidays. I hear they stop working properly after a few hours and need a rest, with no more than a 33% duty cycle per day. I hear they also need special facilities to accommodate their disgusting biological needs.

On the plus side they are apparently self-powered and don't need much cooling. Rumor has it that they are close to being hyper-intelligent, with a staggering IQ of around 100 on average. They also come with advanced robotic features. Importantly for this particular job they have a built-in food evaluation module closely mimicking our customers' tastes.

Hmm. Perhaps we will get a human to help the AI do its job. Give it a few weeks to train the AI and then we can fire it. What? It needs notice and severance pay? You must be joking!

Country music was slop long before AI.

But this isn't an AI song. It's a song made using AI. The link credits Aubierre Rivaldo Taylor as the artist who made it. It also uses more air quotes than a Michelin review making it "clear" what its "position" is on this issue, but regardless there's a human behind the song.
 
not AI

Well, let's go burn ole Nashville down
Set it all aflame
Barbecue the greedheads
Made country weak and tame
Burn burn Nash Vegas
Cleanse its rancid soul
Burn burn Branson too
Make it a big black hole
Country music is killing itself
Tryin' to be what it ain't
Garth Brooks sells as many as Manilow
Lee Greenwood is a saint
Burn burn Jimmy Bowen
Damn your puny soul
Burn burn Jimmy Bowen
Country can't be sold
Any fool can wear a hat
And not move when they play
But the lonesome howl of the white trash wolf
Can't be heard today
Burn burn the fake cowboys
The Vegas showbiz ◊◊◊◊
Burn burn Branson too
Sold your soul for a hit
Let's go burn ole Nashville down
Burn it to the ground
Let's go burn ole Nashville down
Save that country sound
Burn burn soulless swine
Crossover idiot pukes
Burn burn lyin' cheaters
Country don't have flutes

Or better yet, looked closely at the output to make sure it was right.

But then that would have defeated the "time savings".
