"AI isn't replacing radiologists" good article
Expectation: rapid progress in image recognition AI will delete radiology jobs (e.g. as famously predicted by Geoff Hinton now almost a decade ago). Reality: radiology is doing great and is growing.
There are a lot of imo naive predictions out there on the imminent impact of AI on the job market. E.g. a ~year ago, I was asked by someone who should know better if I think there will be any software engineers still today. (Spoiler: I think we're going to make it). This is happening too broadly.
The post goes into detail on why it's not that simple, using the example of radiology:
- the benchmarks are nowhere near broad enough to reflect actual, real scenarios.
- the job is a lot more multifaceted than just image recognition.
- deployment realities: regulatory, insurance and liability, diffusion and institutional inertia.
- Jevons paradox: if radiologists are sped up via AI as a tool, a lot more demand shows up.
I will say that radiology was imo not among the best examples to pick on in 2016 - it's too multi-faceted, too high risk, too regulated. When looking for jobs that will change a lot due to AI on shorter time scales, I'd look in other places - jobs that look like repetition of one rote task, each task being relatively independent, closed (not requiring too much context), short (in time), forgiving (the cost of mistake is low), and of course automatable giving current (and digital) capability. Even then, I'd expect to see AI adopted as a tool at first, where jobs change and refactor (e.g. more monitoring or supervising than manual doing, etc). Maybe coming up, we'll find better and broader set of examples of how this is all playing out across the industry.
About 6 months ago, I was also asked to vote if we will have less or more software engineers in 5 years. Exercise left for the reader.

COMING TO SUPERRARE JULY 31
“The Elephant” by @amitsharma_raw
A Curated Release in partnership with @ColonnaContempo that explores the psychological response arising from the tension between what we see and what we believe.
The series of artworks explore the concept of False Memory through three movements. Residual memory, source confusion and half-truth. The Elephant is a collection of real photographs taken by @amitsharma_raw and augmented with Generative AI.

Testing out @HeyGen_Official translation on French and German. I don’t speak either language so let me know if it sounds natural if you do.
I hope if you pay you can turn off the color correction.
It didn’t work on my phone so I had to upload on my pc.

Days after Meta open sources Llama 2, we have “WormGPT, an AI tool taking off across cybercrime forums on the dark web”
... "We instructed WormGPT to generate an email to pressure an unsuspecting account manager into paying a fraudulent invoice.
The results were unsettling... WormGPT produced an email that was not only remarkably persuasive but also strategically cunning, showcasing its potential for sophisticated phishing and BEC [Business Email Compromise] attacks.”
“GPTJ-based WormGPT is designed to produce human-like text that enables hackers to perform attacks on a never-before-seen scale.”
“This tool presents itself as a blackhat alternative to GPT models, designed specifically for malicious activities,” said security researcher Daniel Kelley.
“What does this mean for the rest of us? Essentially it boils down to the speed and number of scams a language model can generate at once, which is obviously worrying when you consider how fast language models can generate text.
This makes cyberattacks such as phishing emails particularly easy to replicate when put in the hands of even a novice cybercriminal.”
“Generative AI can create emails with impeccable grammar, making them seem legitimate and reducing the likelihood of being flagged as suspicious,” Kelley said.
“The use of generative AI democratises the execution of sophisticated BEC attacks. Even attackers with limited skills can use this technology, making it an accessible tool for a broader spectrum of cybercriminals.”
The introduction of WormGPT across the dark web comes as researchers from Mithril Security ‘surgically’ modified an existing open-source AI model, dubbed PoisonGPT, to make it spread disinformation
…
“We’re now seeing an unsettling trend among cybercriminals on forums, evident in discussion threads offering “jailbreaks” for interfaces like ChatGPT.”
"This method introduces a stark implication: attackers, even those lacking fluency in a particular language, are now more capable than ever of fabricating persuasive emails for phishing or BEC attacks." slashnext.com/blog/wormgpt-t…

Corporate governance issues coming to light in Indian startups will only increase with time. While founders will be blamed, the venture capital (VC) ecosystem is equally to blame
The root cause of this is the overestimation of the size of Indian markets by founders and VCs. 1/10

How did Taiwan's Govt increase its tax collection by 75% in a single year?
No crackdown. No tax rate hikes. No one time levy. So, you're wondering how? They launched the "Uniform Invoice Lottery" scheme to gamify tax collection:

The Authenticity Industry
It’s both already here and the next big thing. It’s anti-fraud and proof-of-human. It’s detecting deepfakes and banning bots. It’s computer captchas and Turing tests. It’s proctoring and auditing.
It’s the jobs AI creates in lieu of those it automates.
