No hay un avance tan grande como se dice en la automatización de muchas tareas empresariales.Desconozco el panorama en España, pero en el mundo anglo muchas multinacionales que se jactan de su tecnología, de ser la vanguardia en AI (hablo de empresas grandes metidas en IT, finanzas, etc) lo que hacen es tener analistas en India (ya sea propios o subcontratados) haciendo lo que en teoría sus maravillos sistemas de business intelligence y super-inteligentes algoritmos de machine learning deberían hacer.Y la cuestión no es solo que al final las decisiones y conclusiones, la gestión de excepciones, etc deba pasar por un humano, ni tampoco que no tengan la tecnología (aunque desde luego no está tan avanzada como quieren vendernos). El principal problema son los costes. ¿Qué es mas barato en términos de coste: tener un equipo en el extranjero con costes laborales ínfimos en comparación a los occidentales, buena educación y que hablan inglés o mantener un equipo mucho más pequeño en USA o UK pero cuyos empleados van a tener que estar mucho mejor pagados no ya en comparación con los de India sino incluso con los empleados anteriores en Occidente?Creo que vamos hacia mayour automatización pero muchos estan vendiéndonos que "ya está aquí" cuando en realidad la adaptación de las tecnologías a la realidad empresarial, e incluso a la tecnología en sí misma, le quedan bastantes años de progreso.Y personalmente, no veo "el fin del trabajo". Lo que veo es un cambio en el tipo de trabajo que se demandará.
GM self-driving unit Cruise issues software fix on 80 vehicles after crash
Cruise said today that, after the crash, which occurred on June 3, it removed its vehicles’ ability to make unprotected left turns. It also reduced the area of operation, which was already small, and avoids downtown traffic and routes. The fleet vehicles were limited to a top speed of 30 MPH and were only allowed to operate between 10 PM and 6 AM
Genial, un vehículo que sólo puede girar correctamente a la derecha; ¿qué podría salir mal?
AI-Generated Artwork Wins First Place At a State Fair Fine Arts CompetitionPosted by BeauHD on Wednesday August 31, 2022 @08:02PM from the don't-discount-the-human-element dept.An anonymous reader quotes a report from Motherboard:CitarA man came in first at the Colorado State Fair's fine art competition using an AI generated artwork on Monday. "I won first place," a user going by Sincarnate said in a Discord post above photos of the AI-generated canvases hanging at the fair. Sincarnate's name is Jason Allen, who is president of Colorado-based tabletop gaming company Incarnate Games. According to the state fair's website (PDF), he won in the digital art category with a work called "Theatre D'opera Spatial." The image, which Allen printed on canvas for submission, is gorgeous. It depicts a strange scene that looks like it could be from a space opera, and it looks like a masterfully done painting. Classical figures in a Baroque hall stair through a circular viewport into a sun-drenched and radiant landscape.But Allen did not paint "Theatre D'opera Spatial," AI software called Midjourney did. It used his prompts, but Allen did not wield a digital brush. This distinction has caused controversy on Twitter where working artists and enthusiasts accused Allen of hastening the death of creative jobs. "TL;DR -- Someone entered an art competition with an AI-generated piece and won the first prize," artist Genel Jumalon said in a viral tweet about Allen's win. "Yeah that's pretty fucking shitty." "We're watching the death of artistry unfold before our eyes," a Twitter user going by OmniMorpho said in a reply that gained over 2,000 likes. "If creative jobs aren't safe from machines, then even high-skilled jobs are in danger of becoming obsolete. What will we have then?""I knew this would be controversial," Allen said in the Midjourney Discord server on Tuesday. "How interesting is it to see how all these people on Twitter who are against AI generated art are the first ones to throw the human under the bus by discrediting the human element! Does this seem hypocritical to you guys?"He added: "I have been exploring a special prompt that I will be publishing at a later date, I have created 100s of images using it, and after many weeks of fine tuning and curating my gens, I chose my top 3 and had them printed on canvas after unshackling with Gigapixel AI," he wrote in a post before the winners were announced."What if we looked at it from the other extreme, what if an artist made a wildly difficult and complicated series of restraints in order to create a piece, say, they made their art while hanging upside-down and being whipped while painting," he said. "Should this artist's work be evaluated differently than another artist that created the same piece 'normally'? I know what will become of this in the end, they are simply going to create an 'artificial intelligence art' category I imagine for things like this."

An AI-Generated Artwork Won First Place at a State Fair Fine Arts Competition, and Artists Are PissedJason Allen's AI-generated work "Théâtre D'opéra Spatial" took first place in the digital category at the Colorado State Fair.Matthew Gault | August 31, 2022SCREENGRAB: DISCORD.A man came in first at the Colorado State Fair’s fine art competition using an AI generated artwork on Monday. “I won first place,” a user going by Sincarnate said in a Discord post above photos of the AI-generated canvases hanging at the fair.

Does this seem hypocritical to you guys?”Motherboard reached out to Allen, who replied that he was embarking on a 12 hour drive and could not immediately comment. According to Allen, his input was instrumental to the shaping of the award winning painting. “I have been exploring a special prompt that I will be publishing at a later date, I have created 100s of images using it, and after many weeks of fine tuning and curating my gens, I chose my top 3 and had them printed on canvas after unshackling with Gigapixel AI,” he wrote in a post before the winners were announced. Allen said that his critics are judging the art by the method of its creation, and that eventually the art world will recognize AI-created art as its own category. “What if we looked at it from the other extreme, what if an artist made a wildly difficult and complicated series of restraints in order to create a piece, say, they made their art while hanging upside-down and being whipped while painting,” he said. “Should this artist’s work be evaluated differently than another artist that created the same piece ‘normally’? I know what will become of this in the end, they are simply going to create an ‘artificial intelligence art’ category I imagine for things like this.”Artists are concerned about the rise of AI-generated art. Atlantic writer Charlie Warzel went viral after running an edition of the magazine’s newsletter with a Midjourney-generated picture of Alex Jones. A major publication using AI for art instead of a human upset a lot of people. “Technology is increasingly deployed to make gig jobs and to make billionaires richer, and so much of it doesn't seem to benefit the public good enough,” cartoonist Matt Borrs told Warzel in a follow up piece. “AI art is part of that. To developers and technically minded people, it’s this cool thing, but to illustrators it’s very upsetting because it feels like you’ve eliminated the need to hire the illustrator.”Allen said he had clearly labeled his submission to the state fair as “Jason Allen via Midjourney,” and once again noted the human element required to produce the work. “I generate images with MJ, do passes with photoshop, and upscale with Gigapixel.”Despite the controversy, the win has only encouraged him. “I’m not stopping now,” he said. “This win has only emboldened my mission.”
Actors Worry That AI is Taking Centre StagePosted by msmash on Monday September 05, 2022 @11:00PM from the closer-look dept.A survey this year by Equity, the UK union for actors and other performing arts workers, found that 65 per cent of members thought AI posed a threat to employment opportunities in the sector, rising to 93 per cent of audio artists. This wasn't just an amorphous fear about the future: more than a third of members had seen job listings for work involving AI and almost a fifth had undertaken some of this work. From a report:CitarA range of AI start-ups are developing tools for use in film and audio, from making actors look and sound younger to creating AI voices that can be used for marketing campaigns, consumer assistants or even audiobook narration. Audio is such a popular medium now that companies need lots of it, but human actors are expensive and nowhere near as flexible as an AI voice, which can be made to say anything at the push of a button. These companies typically hire actors to provide hours' worth of audio which can then be turned into a voice-for-hire.VocaliD, for example, offers a range of voices such as "Malik" ("warm, soothing, urban") "Terri" ("educated, optimistic, sophisticated") and "AI Very British Voice" ("trustworthy, warm, calm.") Sonantic, another AI company which was just acquired by Spotify, creates voices that can laugh, shout or cry. Its voices are often used by video game companies in the production process so they can play around with different scripts. They're not as good as humans, but they don't need to be. Industry experts say no one is going to use AI to narrate the audiobook of a bestselling novel, but there is still a market to be tapped in the vast number of lower-profile books that are published or self-published every year. Audiobook.ai, for example, says it can create an audiobook in 10 minutes with 146 voices to choose from in 43 languages.

Bye bye Twitter.Elon Musk planea el despido inminente de 3.700 empleados, la mitad de la plantilla de TwitterY de postre, adiós al teletrabajo para sus empleados. Unos se irán, pero otros pleitearán.Sólo a un engreído con el ego tan alto como Musk se le podría ocurrir esto de ir a contracorriente de la realidad. Cuando vas a contracorriente te la juegas a todo o nada, y la línea que separa el genio de la locura es muy delgada, prácticamente sólo la delimita el éxito.
Musk me descoloca. A veces pienso que es un tío brillante y otras (las más), un chiflado que ha tenido suerte con una cosa mientras caga 200.
Musk está chiflado. No sé si tiene un ego demasiado grande. No se me ocurre que razón tiene para comprarse Twiter, excepto una chifladura más.Es además un momento malísimo para meterse en eso. Supongo que los 44.000 millones los habrá obtenido poniendo como garantía acciones de Tesla que desde que se empezó a hablar del asunto han bajado un 45% e igual al final tiene que poner toda la compañía para garantizar semejante cantidad (Tesla tiene una capitalización de más de 600.000 millones hoy). Twiter no va a hacer dinero...
Prior to buying Twitter for $44 billion, Musk tweeted that the company under his ownership 'will be super focused on hardcore software engineering, design, infosec & server hardware.' Last week he lamented in a tweet that 'there seem to be 10 people "managing" for every one person coding.'
