Five Things AI: Your Data, Uncanny Valley, Stephen King, Un-Learning, Aleph Alpha
Do you know what happens with your data?
The development of Artificial Intelligence is still picking up speed - and at the same the HV100 GPU is hard to get, which makes the race between the companies even more insane. NVIDIA is shoveling money right now and cannot fulfill the demand. Every week we see new announcements from startups that develop some new thing based on AI. It seems that currently startups can only get funding if they mention all the buzzwords du jour like GenerativeAI, LLM, GPT, Deep Learning, Computer Vision or Neural Network.
Nobody knows right now how this will change the tech industry - and how big the impact will be on other industries. Obviously, AI can do many things that us humans needed a lot of time to accomplish, and yet it still fails at some rather basic tasks. And it cannot do creative work, at least not very well.
So, let’s see how this develops. And if you have some GPU in your gaming rig - sell them to AI startups while the price is still hot!

Companies Will Use Generative AI. But Will They Tell You About It?
We all know that lots of data is being fed into the various Large Language Models - but we just don’t know which data a company is using and what for exactly. How will we deal with this black box in the future?
What happens when AI passes through the ‘uncanny valley’?
What’s real anymore in a time of AI? This topic is just developing as we encounter more and more AI generated content that continues to blur the lines between reality and fiction.
Stephen King: My Books Were Used to Train AI
I read Stephen King’s book about writing a few years ago, which gave really good insights into the process of writing a book, so it is natural that King touches on the subject of creativity and AI.
A.I.’s un-learning problem: Researchers say it’s virtually impossible to make an A.I. model ‘forget’ the things it learns from
And we always thought the internet won’t forget - it turns out AI is even worse than that and on a very different scope.
Meet Aleph Alpha, Europe’s Answer to OpenAI
We’re all rooting for Aleph Alpha! Right now it is the only real competitor in the global AI race that’s not located in the US or China. It’s so important that we catch up in Europe and start funding more startups in this space!
