OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

Cúpla nóta:
Dúirt sé gur tháinig go leor den nuálaíocht chun cinn in amhráin.

Tuigtear dúinn gurb amhlaidh sna meáin shóisialta. Modh ghearr agus ghearrthréimhseach.

Hipitéis:
N'fheadar an amhlaidh sa chaint, ach é níos deacra é sin a chruthú toisc nach ann do na sonraí / do dhóthain sonraí.

Póstaeir spéisiúla ag comhdháil #CLARIN 2025, agus comhrá deas faoi na focail a deir daoine nuair a thógtar pic díbh...
"cheese", dar ndóigh, "ispíní" cloiste agam féin, "marmalad" sa mBulgáiris, agus an focal ar chabáiste acu san Ungáiris (ní fhéadfainn é a litriú!)
Ní fada go mbeidh béile ann!

Óóó, mar sin atá...
Seans go mbeidh oraibh fanacht ar an gclibeálaí séimeantach dó sin!

Ach, dáiríre, samhlaím gur obair láimhe agus liostaí é sin. Measaim go ndíreodh an taighdeoir ar bhríonna / réimse eolais ar leith, agus imeacht uathu nó fanacht leo.

Is féidir, cinnte, ach teacht ar a leithéid agus é a cheartú en masse sula ndéantar iompórtáil agus innéacsú ar na sonraí.
Níl sé praiticiúil míreanna aonair, as na céadta milliún, a cheartú ar an ndrochuair.

Tá/bíonn athchlibeáil (agus ceartúcháin!) agus ath-uaslódáil ar sceideal na bliana! 🙏

As we discuss lingusitic analysis, sample bias, AI and discursive norms at @cl2025.co.uk I feel like this quote is as topical as ever.
"The limits of my language mean the limits of my world." - Wittgenstein (1922)
What we find are observations that are dependant on the context, not necessarily fact.
