According to Adobe, after about 20 minutes of listening to a voice, users can make the voice say whatever they want just by typing it out. Comedian and director Jordan Peele hosted the event and Adobe tech Zeyu Jin demoed the process by editing an interview with Peele’s comedic partner Keegan-Michael Key. Jin took existing audio of Key, then used the software to make him talk about making out with Peele instead of his wife.
Wired, June 2016. Welcome to the new world of artificial intelligence. Soon, we won't program computers. We'll train them. Like dolphins. Or dogs. Or humans.
It's not that HyperCard or Director is the answer, but I am just pointing out the lack of really good tools available for amateurs and professionals to use to create new kinds of applications for the iPad. HyperCard was not only used by The Voyager Company; it was used by teachers to create coursework; or students to prepare a report; it was used by individuals to develop novelty applications like recipe databases. We had highly produced, professional applications and mostly free shareware apps. Making it easy to create content and increasing the number of people who can create applications for the iPad could be very important to its long-term success. The web has made producers of us all. If the iPad is just another consumer platform for consuming and not creating content, then it will just be another way to watch TV or listen to music or download information. Convenient, yes, but just another device. To be something different, the iPad must not be just a delivery platform but a creative one, offering professionals and amateurs an opportunity to create a unique experience with interactive media.
Yhdysvalloissa asuva Hursti saavutti kansainvälistä kuuluisuutta, kun hän kymmenen vuotta sitten paljasti vakavia tietoturva-aukkoja Yhdysvaltojen sähköisestä äänestysjärjestelmästä.
Kiista Viron kanssa alkoi viime vuonna, kun Hursti yhdessä Michiganin yliopiston tutkijoiden kanssa tutki Viron e-äänestysjärjestelmää. (https://estoniaevoting.org/)

Automaattinen sisällönkuvailu osaksi Finton palvelua
Finto laajenee automaattisen sisällönkuvailun palveluihin Finto AI -työkalun ja sen rajapintapalvelun myötä. Palvelu tukee suomen-, ruotsin- ja englanninkielisen tekstin automaattista sisällönkuvailua.
Finto AI on saatavilla osoitteessa ai.finto.fi, josta löytyvän lomakkeen avulla palvelua voi kokeilla ja käyttää. Automaattinen sisällönkuvailu toimii parhaiten opinnäytetyö- ja tietokirja-aineistoissa.
"GPT-3 is the latest and greatest in the AI world, achieving state-of-the-art in a range of tasks. Its main breakthrough is eliminating the need for task-specific fine-tuning. In terms of size, the model drastically scales up once again, reaching 175 billion parameters, or 116x the size of its predecessor."
In 2017, researchers asked: Could AI write most code by 2040? OpenAI’s GPT-3, now in use by beta testers, can already code in any language. Machine-dominated coding is almost at our doorstep. GPT-3…
– Männen byggde maskinerna men det var kvinnor som programmerade dem, säger den svenska datapionjären Elsa-Karin Boestad-Nilsson.När hon 1948 kom till Försvarets forskningsanstalt (FOA) i Stockholm hade hon inte hört talas om datorer, eller matematikmaskiner som de kallades då. Hon hade precis läst färdigt matematik och fysik vid Stockholms högskola, och fått sitt första jobb. Att hon skulle vara med och starta den digitala eran fanns inte på kartan.

Barbara Fister, in Library Journal 19 April, 2012: "Libraries, like other public goods, are fundamentally different than businesses and the last thing we want to do is treat our community as customers."

By WiseWoman/Debora Weber-Wulff and Graf Isolan, 2 July 2012 "Over the past year and a half, the German academic community has been rocked by continual plagiarism scandals. Two wiki-based groups have been instrumental in uncovering "text parallels" in doctoral theses by jurists, scientists, industry managers, and politicians. The latest plagiarism to have been exposed was a textbook warning about taking material from the German Wikipedia – while itself plagiarizing Wikipedia in at least 18 places."

Wall Stret Journal , June 20, 2010. Underrubrik: Lenders Join Forces to Let Patrons Check Out Digital Scans of Shelved Book Collections Overdrive. Quote: "We're trying to build an integrated digital lending library of anything that is available anywhere, where you can go and find not just information about books, but also find the books themselves and borrow them," said Brewster Kahle, the founder and digital librarian of the Internet Archive. With its latest project, the organization is making inroads into the idea of loaning in-copyright books to the masses. Only one person at a time will be allowed to check out a digital copy of an in-copyright book for two weeks. While on loan, the physical copy of the book won't be loaned, due to copyright restrictions. "

"You need two compilers," Lunar explained, "with one that you somehow trust. Then you build the compiler under test twice, once with each compiler, and then you use the compilers that you just built to build the compiler under test again.
"If the output is the same, then no backdoors," he added. "But for this scheme to work, you need to be able to compare that both build outputs are the same. And that’s exactly what we are enabling when having reproducible builds."
According to Lunar, 83 percent of Debian packages are now built reproducibly, and more join the party every day.
"If we look at the code and the binary gets owned because some system somewhere has been compromised, and we don't know about it, then we're doomed," Lunar told the audience.
"Reproducible builds should become the norm. Let's make this the default for all software we produce."
2011. "These days at the I.B.M. Almaden Research Center in San Jose, Calif., there is not a lot of talk of reverse-engineering the brain. Wide-ranging ambitions that narrow over time, Dr. Modha explained, are part of research and discovery, even if his earlier rhetoric was inflated or misunderstood.
“Deciding what not to do is just as important as deciding what to do,” Dr. Modha said. “We’re not trying to replicate the brain. That’s impossible. We don’t know how the brain works, really.” "
“chip-first as an organizing principle gave us a coherent plan.”
"In designing chips that bear some structural resemblance to the brain, so-called neuromorphic chips, neuroscience was a guiding principle as well. Brains are low-power, nimble computing mechanisms — real-world proof that it is possible."

Boris Zetterlund: För att våra bibliotek skall hävda sig som en spelare bland många, krävs det enligt Boris Zetterlund, affärsområdeschef på Axiell, att de är offensiva och lyckas skapa interaktion mellan sig själva, allmänhet och studenter. ”Ett sätt att göra det kan vara genom att skapa bättre utrymme för egen produktion. I framtiden skulle biblioteken t ex kunna stötta ungdomars text- och musikproduktion, publicera och göra det sökbart. Men då vill det naturligtvis till att systemleverantörerna kan bistå med lösningen.”

Yle uutiset 20.1.14: Skog kertoo myös, että Kieku-järjestelmässä havaittujen puutteiden korjaaminen on vaatinut lisätyön tilaamista järjestelmää toimittavalta Logicalta. Pelkästään työvuorosuunnitteluun liittyvän ohjelmisto-osan korjailu on maksanut satojatuhansia euroja. Skog kuitenkin korostaa että lisätöiden hinta on varsin pieni, kun sitä verrataan hankkeen kokonaisbudjettiiin, noin 125 miljoonaan euroon.
