    What's the point of promoting 'Improbotics'? Like the presenter said, they're manually typing in queries to OpenAI GPT-3 and selecting the best output & all the work they've done is just a TTS output…

    I'm sure it's got to be better than the crap the bbc had been producing the last half decade.

    I don't understand why you would do this? This doesn't help anyone, art should be the one safe space. This is gross.

    So, a very complex voiceover. I would like to hear from a human with the body language. The robot is very "stiff". 😉

    Comedy is just about dead and buried at the BBC, so I should give the AI comedian a chance anyway. You've nothing to lose. You've lost it already.

    i've been developing procedural texts/lyrics/music for about thirty years, before AI methods.
    apart from other fine points people choose to ignore, it's hardly fair to allow humans to interpret and select everything you say.
    AI can be continuously funny because they don't think like people who want to be cool. we're tired of that part.
    just understand, proceduralism of any nature is akin to augury, anything you don't understand can be speaking to you.

    Hardly A.I. generated in the real sense then.
    It might be better if a ventriloquist played the robot?

Cyber Attack: Ransomware causing chaos globally – BBC News

Published

on



Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.

Is this AI’s moment of truth? | BBC News

Published

on



A year ago, artificial intelligence was being sold as something close to science fiction — a technology that could transform society, cure disease, even reshape the global economy.

Today, the tone is changing. The companies leading the revolution are racing to the stock market — chasing billions in investment — while quietly confronting a much harder reality: AI is expensive, unpredictable, and far from profitable.

At the same time, some of the very people building this technology are warning we may be going too fast — even calling for a global pause.
And beyond Silicon Valley, a different story is emerging: growing public anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of what some are calling anti-AI populism.

So is AI entering its most pivotal moment yet — caught between financial pressure, technological risk, and political resistance?

AI Decoded Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by Financial Times AI Editor Madhumita Murgia, Thematic Strategist at Deutsche Bank Research Adrian Cox and Richard Coffin, Host of popular investing podcast ‘ The Plain Bagel’.
