TW: Sexual assault, abuse, child abuse, suicidal ideation, severe mental illnesses/trauma, graphic (sexual) langauge



This post aims to aggregate a collection of statements made by Annie Altman, Sam Altman's (lesser-known) younger sister, in which Annie asserts that she has suffered various (severe) forms of abuse from Sam Altman throughout her life (as well as from her brother Jack Altman, though to a lesser extent.)

Annie states that the forms of abuse she's endured include sexual, physical, emotional, verbal, financial, technological (shadowbanning), pharmacological (forced Zoloft), and psychological abuse.

I do not attempt to speak for Annie; rather, my goal is to provide an objective and unbiased aggregation of the claims Annie has made, as well as of relevant media surrounding this topic.

I have made this post because I think that it is valuable to be aware of the existence of the claims that Annie has made against Sam, given his strong influence over the development and alignment of increasingly powerful AI models. I have also made this post because I think that these claims are not covered well elsewhere (at least, at the time of this post's writing.)

Disclaimer: I have tried my best to assemble all relevant information I could find related to this (extremely serious) topic, but this is likely not a complete compendium of information regarding the (claimed) abuse of Annie Altman by Sam Altman.

Disclaimer: I would like to note that this is my first post on LessWrong. I have tried my best to meet the writing standards of this website, and to incorporate the advice given in the New User Guide. I apologize in advance for any shortcomings in my writing, and am very much open to feedback and commentary.

Bing Search Gets Generative AI Captions Feature, Here's What It Does​

The newly introduced Generative AI Captions feature is powered by OpenAI's latest LLM, GPT 4.​

Microsoft's latest update lets Bing Search results shows AI generated webpage summaries and snippets. WIKIMEDIA COMMONS

Microsoft has added a new feature dubbed Generative AI Captions to Bing Search. The feature offers customised snippets and summaries of individual web pages.

Microsoft recently rebranded Bing Chat to Copilot. Aside from this, the Redmond-based tech giant is rolling out new features to its Bing Search.

In a blog post, Microsoft said Generative Captions are powered by OpenAI's latest large language model (LLM), GPT 4. After analysing search queries, the feature extracts information from a webpage and presents them in what it describes as "easily digestible snippets".

Generative Captions will be different for every query and will probably generate unique snippets based on what the user is looking for. Microsoft also clarified that the feature isn't always likely to reflect the exact words used on the page since it generates these captions using a mixture of signals and techniques.

Furthermore, the company noted that website owners will have the option to opt out of Generative Captions by using the NOCACHE and NOARCHIVE tags. However, they might have to do this manually.

Microsoft also added a slew of new features to its Bing Webmaster tools. Now, website owners can see how much traffic they are getting from search queries and Bing Chat.

The latest Bing Search feature could turn out to be an alternative to Google's Notes feature for the search results and articles on Discover, which is part of Google Search.

Microsoft updates Bing Chat​

According to an earlier report, Microsoft is planning to let users turn off Bing Chat's search engine. While the company has neither confirmed nor denied this speculation yet, it has updated the Bing AI chatbot service.

This update will restrict people from generating fake film posters such as those containing Disney's logo and help the company avoid copyright infringement, as per a report by The Register.

Social media users have been using AI to generate images of dogs as Disney characters for a while now. Much to their chagrin, the trend caught the attention of the entertainment giant.

As a result, Microsoft decided to temporarily block the word "Disney" in people's prompts, according to a Financial Times report. While the ban has been lifted, Bing has reportedly stopped recreating Disney's wording or logo.

This incident has reignited controversy surrounding AI text-to-image models' ability to violate copyright. Apparently, these models were trained on protected IP and trademarks and are capable of accurately generating the content.

In one of the examples, a person asked Midjourney AI to generate an image of an "average woman of Afghanistan". Notably, the AI tool came up with an almost carbon copy of the iconic 1984 photo of Sharbat Gula, taken by American photographer Steve McCurry.

This is the best example I've found yet of how derivative AI 'art' is. The person who generated the image on the left asked Midjourney to generate 'an average woman of Afghanistan'.

Artists and illustrators, who have sued companies building AI text-to-image tools argue that the software can directly rip off their work and copy their styles. The defendants, on the other hand, believe it is imperative to protect AI-generated images under fair use since the images simply transform original works rather than replace them.

Microsoft now lets you uninstall Edge, Bing, Cortana​

It will be interesting to see whether Microsoft will introduce stricter rules for using its AI image creator. In the meantime, the company has rolled out a new update for Windows users in Europe, allowing them to uninstall some of its basic apps including Cortana, the Edge browser and Bing Search.

It is worth noting that Microsoft is not rolling out this update to provide a superior user experience or to let users decide which app they want to get rid of. Instead. the tech behemoth is making this change to comply with The Digital Markets Act (DMA).

DMA, which was announced by the European Union, urges Microsoft to give its users the option to remove all basic apps. This act is slated to come into effect in March 2024 in the European Economic Area (EEA).

Microsoft’s Edge Copilot AI can’t really summarize every YouTube video

It leans on text from subtitles and transcriptions.

Microsoft’s Edge Copilot AI can’t really summarize every YouTube video​

The chatbot’s summarization feature relies on preprocessed video data or existing subtitles and transcripts.​

By Amrita Khalid, one of the authors of audio industry newsletter Hot Pod. Khalid has covered tech, surveillance policy, consumer gadgets, and online communities for more than a decade.

One feature added to Microsoft’s AI Copilot in the Edge browser this week is the ability to generate text summaries of videos. But Edge Copilot’s time-saving feature is still fairly limited and only works on pre-processed videos or those with subtitles, as Mikhail Parakhin, Microsoft’s CEO of advertising and web services, explained.

As spotted by MSPowerUser, Parakhin writes, “In order for it to work, we need to pre-process the video. If the video has subtitles - we can always fallback on that, if it does not and we didn’t preprocess it yet - then it won’t work,” in response to a question.



In other words, on its own Edge Copilot doesn’t so much summarize videos as it summarizes the text transcripts of the videos. Copilot can also perform a similar function throughout Microsoft 365, including summarizing Teams video meetings and calls for customer service agents — and in both cases, the audio needs to be transcribed first by Microsoft. Copilot on Microsoft Stream can also summarize any video, but again, it requires users to generate a written transcript.

Microsoft

The conversation started after designer Pietro Schirano posted a screen recording of Edge Copilot summarizing a YouTube video about the GTA VI trailer. In this case, Copilot appeared to be doing its job perfectly. The user in the recording presses the “Generate video summary” button in the Copilot sidebar, and mere seconds later, Copilot churns one out, complete with highlights and timestamps.

Of course, many platforms, including YouTube and Vimeo, can automatically generate transcripts and subtitles — if users enable the feature. After The Verge asked Parakhin on X if we could assume most publicly available videos (i.e. YouTube) weren’t pre-processed, he replied: “Should work for most videos.”

Copilot is just the latest example of the generative AI race Microsoft is competing in with Google (and others). Last month, Google upgraded the YouTube extension for its Bard chatbot to enable it to summarize the content of a video and surface specific information from it. Just this week, Google announced a major Gemini update that has its own issues — the company’s editing may have misrepresented some of the AI’s capabilities in a demo, and it doesn’t always have its facts straight.

Parakhin has been candid about the various stages of Copilot’s evolution on social media. While on a plane on Tuesday morning, the machine learning expert posted on X: “Adding ability for Edge Copilot to use information in videos - on a flight.”

Microsoft has released its Copilot app for iOS devices, just two days after I reported exclusively that the iOS version was almost ready. Now, iPhone and iPad users can download it from the Apple App Store. Copilot isn’t just another name for Bing Chat; it brings some cool new things to the table.

Microsoft Copilot app is available via Apple’s App Store, and the tech giant clarified that the AI app is optimized for iPad. In our tests, we also noticed that Copilot app offers better experience than the dedicated ChatGPT app for iPad.

While Bing integrates search, rewards, and chat functionalities, Copilot streamlines its focus on an advanced chat interface, incorporating features like the innovative DALL-E 3. Unlike Bing, which combines search and AI, Copilot emerges as a ChatGPT-like app tailored to iOS devices.

Microsoft Copilot for iPad​

Copilot maintains its versatility as a multi-functional assistant on Android, supporting GPT Vision, GPT-4, and DALL-E. The addition of ChatGPT-4 Turbo, available to select users, enhances its ability to provide information on recent events, especially with the search plugin disabled.

​

Copilot is ChatGPT-4 for iOS, but it’s absolutely free. You can write emails, stories, or even summarize tough texts. It’s great with languages too, helping you translate, proofread, and more. And it’s all free, which Microsoft says won’t change.

​

It also plugin support, even third-party plugins at no extra cost. This can be super handy for planning trips or sprucing up your resume. Plus, there’s the Image Creator that turns your words into pictures right on your phone.

Microsoft makes its AI-powered reading tutor free | TechCrunch

Microsoft has released an AI-powered app, Reading Coach, designed to help students improve their reading comprehension.

Microsoft makes its AI-powered reading tutor free​

Microsoft today made Reading Coach, its AI-powered tool that provides learners with personalized reading practice, available at no cost to anyone with a Microsoft account.

As of this morning, Reading Coach is accessible on the web in preview — a Windows app is forthcoming. And soon (in late spring), Reading Coach will integrate with learning management systems such as Canva, Microsoft says.

“It’s well known that reading is foundational to a student’s academic success; studies show that fluent readers are four times more likely to graduate high school and get better jobs,” Microsoft writes in a blog post. “With the latest AI technology, we have an opportunity to provide learners with personalized, engaging, and transformative reading experiences.”

Reading Coach builds on Reading Progress, a plug-in for the education-focused version of Microsoft Teams, Teams for Education, designed to help teachers foster reading fluency in their students. Inspired by the success of Reading Progress (evidently), Microsoft launched Reading Coach in 2022 as a part of Teams for Education and Immersive Reader, the company’s cross-platform assistive service for language and reading comprehension.

Reading Coach works by having learners identify words they struggle with the most and presenting them with tools to support independent, individualized practice. Based on an educator’s preferences, the tools available can include text to speech, syllable breaking and picture dictionaries.

After a learner practices in Reading Coach, educators can view their work, including which words the student practiced, how many attempts they made and which tools they used. Educators can also share this information with students if they choose.

Recently, Reading Coach received a spruce-up in the form of a “choose your own story” feature, powered by Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Service, that lets learners tap AI to generate their own narrative adventure.

Akin to the AI-generated story tool on the Amazon Echo Show, Reading Coach’s “choose your own story” has learners select a character, setting and reading level and have AI create content based on these selections and the learner’s most challenging words. (Microsoft says that story content is moderated and filtered for things like “quality, safety and age appropriateness.”) Reading Coach provides feedback on pronunciation, listening to the learner read the story and awarding badges that unlock new characters and scenes as they progress.

Learners who opt not to create their own story can pick from curated passages in ReadWorks, a library of resources for reading comprehension.

“Reading Coach intrinsically motivates learners to continue advancing their skills in several ways,” Microsoft continues. “With the use of AI in an impactful, safe, responsible way, we believe that personalized learning at scale is within reach.”

Microsoft’s rosy view of AI for teaching reading comprehension isn’t shared by all educators, it’s key to note. Experts say that there isn’t a foolproof tool on the market for measuring comprehension, which involves assessing what students know and the strength of their vocabulary as well as whether they can sound out and pronounce words. Students can inadvertently affect evaluations by pressing a wrong button. Or they might get bored with a task a tool’s presenting to them and disengage, leading to a low score.

All that being said, teachers don’t think tools like Reading Coach can hurt. In a recent EdWeek Research Center survey, 44% of educators said that they think adaptive tech does a better job of accurately assessing a students’ reading level than non-adaptive software or pen-and-paper methods.

• Google's legal dispute with Alphabet revealed Microsoft's unsuccessful attempts to have Apple switch to Bing, highlighting Bing's lack of appeal to users.
• Microsoft tried to sell Bing to Apple, but Apple declined due to Bing's lower search quality and investment.
• Given how Bing was an early home for Copilot. it raises questions about the impact of Bing on Microsoft's AI progress.
  

While Bing hasn't exactly made a big splash in the search engine market, one could argue that the service was a good stepping stone for Copilot. After all, Copilot for the Web took over Bing Chat's place, and it has only snowballed from there. However, recent news has revealed that Microsoft did try to sell Bing to Apple, but the deal was cut off due to the quality of Bing's search results.

Microsoft Copilot: What is it, and how does it work?​

Is Microsoft Copilot the best AI chatbot available right now?

The time when Microsoft Bing could have been Apple's​

A screenshot of Microsoft's website for Bing AI search© Provided by XDA Developers

As reported by CNBC, the news broke during a legal battle with Alphabet, the holding company for Google. This was during a discussion on whether Google has a monopoly on web searches, with Google arguing that it's playing fair. As part of its argument, it revealed that Microsoft tried to convince Apple to use Bing as its default search engine in 2009, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2018, and 2020. However, each time, Microsoft got the same result:

“In each instance, Apple took a hard look at the relative quality of Bing versus Google and concluded that Google was the superior default choice for its Safari users. That is competition,” Google wrote in the filing.

Furthermore, during Microsoft's 2018 attempt, it offered Apple the chance to either buy Bing or enter a joint venture over it. And as you might expect, Apple wasn't impressed. As per Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of services:

“Microsoft search quality, their investment in search, everything was not significant at all. And so everything was lower. So the search quality itself wasn’t as good. They weren’t investing at any level comparable to Google or to what Microsoft could invest in. And their advertising organization and how they monetize was not very good either.”

Unfortunately, while Google is trying to argue its case that it doesn't have a monopoly, it's having some collateral damage on Microsoft's own reputation. However, it's an interesting topic to think about; if Bing did end up becoming part of Apple's product line, would Microsoft go on to release Copilot? Was the switch from Bing Chat to Copilot an important catalyst for Microsoft's continued development, or would it have gone full steam ahead even if it lost Bing? Perhaps we'll never know, but at least we have proof that Bing isn't impressing many people, no matter how much Microsoft pesters users to make the switch to Bing.
