Data up to 2022 became “pre-nuclear steel” for AI training

Artificial intelligence, intended to become the locomotive of technological progress, is beginning to slow down its own development. According to The Register, generative models have filled the internet with so much synthetic content that this creates a real technological dead end.

And we observe the formation of a “digital vicious circle”. New AI models are increasingly trained on materials created by previous AI versions. The result resembles the classic game of “telephone”. Where each subsequent participant passes on increasingly distorted information. In professional circles, this scenario received the name “model collapse”.

A striking analogy emerges with pre-nuclear steel! Just as metal produced before the first nuclear tests in July 1945 is valued for the absence of radionuclides, data up to 2022 becomes an invaluable resource due to minimal “contamination” by synthetic content.

Maurice Chiodo, research fellow at the Centre for Existential Risk Studies at Cambridge University, emphasizes: access to “clean data” is critically important for preventing model degradation.

For 5 years I have been working with machine learning and artificial intelligence. And this field never ceases to amaze, inspire and interest me.

AI chatbots generate content that exacerbates eating disorders

A joint study by Stanford University and the Center for Democracy and Technology showed a disturbing picture. Chatbots with artificial intelligence pose a serious risk to people with eating disorders. Scientists warn that neural networks hand out harmful advice about diets. They suggest ways to hide the disorder and generate "inspiring weight loss content" that worsens the problem.

OpenAGI released the Lux model that overtakes Google and OpenAI

Startup OpenAGI released the Lux model for computer control and claims this is a breakthrough. According to benchmarks, the model overtakes analogues from Google, OpenAI and Anthropic by a whole generation. Moreover, it works faster. About 1 second per step instead of 3 seconds for competitors. And 10 times cheaper in cost per processing 1 token.

Altman declared red alert at OpenAI due to Google's successes

Sam Altman declared "red alert level" at OpenAI, and this is not just corporate drama. This is an admission that the market leader felt competitors breathing down their neck. According to an internal memo, he is mobilizing additional resources to improve ChatGPT amid growing threats from Google.

Users spend more time with Gemini than with ChatGPT

OpenAI still leads in user numbers, but people are starting to spend more time with competitors. And this creates a serious problem.

Companies are bringing back 5% of those fired due to AI implementation failure

Many companies began bringing back employees fired because of artificial intelligence. Analytics company Visier studied employment data of 2.5 million employees from 142 companies worldwide. About 5% of fired employees subsequently returned to their previous employer. This indicator remained stable for several years, but recently began to rise.
