“Users of the 23andMe test send the company samples of their saliva to learn about their ancestry and possible health risks. Wojcicki said that 85% of the company’s customers also consent to their genetic data being used to research diseases. Unlike with other forms of medical data, few guardrails protect genetic data stored by companies like 23andMe. According to Wirecutter’s guide to home DNA kits, “the vast majority of these companies are not subject to the HIPAA laws governing the privacy of your health and medical records.””

AI hallucinations: ChatGPT created a fake child murderer

20 mars 2025 /

Header ChatGPT Murderer Complaint

“OpenAI’s highly popular chatbot, ChatGPT, regularly gives false information about people without offering any way to correct it. In many cases, these so-called “hallucinations” can seriously damage a person’s reputation: In the past, ChatGPT falsely accused people of corruption, child abuse – or even murder. The latter was the case with a Norwegian user. When he tried to find out if the chatbot had any information about him, ChatGPT confidently made up a fake story that pictured him as a convicted murderer. This clearly isn’t an isolated case.”

““Americans have become a lonely people, socializing through screens, and now we tell ourselves that talking with computers can relieve our malaise,” Mr. Carr said in an email.Although the study suggests that chatbots could act as assistants to human therapy and calls for careful oversight, that was not enough for Mr. Carr. “Even a metaphorical blurring of the line between human emotions and computer outputs seems ethically questionable,” he said.People who use these sorts of chatbots should be fully informed about exactly how they were trained, said James E. Dobson, a cultural scholar who is an adviser on artificial intelligence at Dartmouth.“Trust in language models depends upon knowing something about their origins,” he said.”

DOGE Has Deployed Its GSAi Custom Chatbot for 1,500 Federal Workers

8 mars 2025 /

 

 

“Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency has deployed a proprietary chatbot called GSAi to 1,500 federal workers at the General Services Administration, WIRED has confirmed. The move to automate tasks previously done by humans comes as DOGE continues its purge of the federal workforce. GSAi is meant to support “general” tasks, similar to commercial tools like ChatGPT or Anthropic’s Claude. It is tailored in a way that makes it safe for government use, a GSA worker tells WIRED. The DOGE team hopes to eventually use it to analyze contract and procurement data, WIRED previously reported.”

Silicon Valley is Embracing Christianity (With the Help of Peter Thiel)

3 mars 2025 /

“Mr. Stephens and Ms. Stephens became members of the church shortly after moving to San Francisco. It was in the Epic community that they sharpened their own thinking of how Christian faith should inform their Silicon Valley endeavors. For four years, until the end of 2021, they hosted a Faith and Work group, which met Tuesday mornings and discussed ways religion was relevant to their professional lives. Mr. Thiel and Mr. Tan were some of the high-profile guests who dropped in. (The group is starting up again this year.)
This Stephens-led small group sometimes studied the work of René Girard, a literary theorist who has become Silicon Valley’s favorite theologian. Mr. Girard’s name is invoked by Mr. Thiel in podcast interviews, by Mr. Stephens at ACTS 17 events and by Mr. Vance.Mr. Girard, who died in 2015, was also a mentor to Mr. Thiel at Stanford. Mr. Girard’s books offer a view of religion that fits tidily into the belief systems of Silicon Valley. He theorized that all desire is mimetic — we want what ”

“Recent Amazon guidelines shared with internal recruiters at the company say that job applicants can be disqualified from the hiring process if they are found to have used an AI tool during job interviews.

  • The candidate can be seen typing whilst being asked questions. (Note, it is not uncommon for candidates to write down/type the question asked as they prepare to answer.)
  • The candidate appears to be reading their answers rather than responding naturally. This could include correcting themselves when they misread a word.
  • The candidate’s eyes appear to be tracking text or looking elsewhere, rather than viewing their primary display or moving naturally during conversation.
  • The candidate delivers confident responses that do not clearly or directly address the question.
  • The candidate reacts to the outputs of the AI tool when they appear to be incorrect or irrelevant. This is often demonstrated by the candidate being distracted or confused as they are trying to make sense of the outputs.”
