Satirical Energy Review (27.11.2024)

A satirical IT review (not just about energy).

Energy can be written satirically almost endlessly, but topics begin to repeat slowly. After all, how many times can you frost the price of energy? so present something from another barrel – IT, about trends that will change our world.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) takes (great) elder exams...

The fact that Gen AI helps students, they know best. Teachers and curators are slow learning about this. late – OpenAI has dealt almost perfectly with the Korean SAT, which is considered to be 1 of the world's most demanding seniors. Thanks to the fresh versions of AI – the life of students will become much easier and more pleasant – if AI made it through Seoul, he will be able to cope in Warsaw. Encouraged by this year's seniors (2025) – they can put books on shelves present and focus on investing in miniature electronic gadgets – cameras, headphones, microcells – as well as practicing techniques for fast scanning of elder sheets. Then just send the data to the licensed OpenAI and get ready answers (without the hazard of being caught by the teachers supervising the exam). It becomes crucial, therefore, to grow long hair and to wear glasses with a microcam or to usage fresh models of miniature smartwatch. The results of the Polish M.E. 2025 will surely be amazingly high, but in further years we can anticipate a real "armour race" between students and curators. For example, schools can introduce jamming of GSM signals and blocking Wi-Fi in examination rooms. Students will respond by bringing their own AI servers equipped with the latest NVIDIA graphics cards, cleverly hidden in the interior pockets of suits or under navy skirts. In consequence to specified innovations, schools may require compulsory haircuts for “goats” (both boys and girls) to destruct headphones and hidden chips. They may besides require you to pass through the inspection in transparent underwear before entering the Hall – but then chips implanted under the skin will already be a standard – technological, cultural and fashion. In this race I always focus on youth, which will not give a chance to traditions, so the song "Already next year's matura" becomes obsolete ... Unless individual gets caught utilizing OpenAI.

Reviews and followers for sale ...

At the beginning of the Internet, everything seemed simple and idealistic. The network was expected to give unspoilt access to information, free cognition of the world, knowledge, exchange of experience and fast individual development. It came out as always, we're wasting hours watching kittens and influencers in social media, and a rash of conspiracy theories and secondary illiteracy. People who have access to the cognition of the full world, choose to hide in the corner of a shack and waste their time in shit. We were just as idealistic about the anticipation of nonsubjective assessment – shops, restaurants, products and politicians. We besides rapidly found out how incorrect we could be. present everything is already available – from thousands of followers who can (artificially) admire our charms, songs or songs (and thus find sponsors) to thousands or millions of affirmative reviews about the product or service (artificial bots, false ratings and comments). Tens of fresh companies offer price lists of "famous on request" – packages of followers of a thousand, 10 1000 and even a million. Lajki? You can buy millions of them. The most tacky product can so have 5 stars, and the individual who neither sings nor dances nor even speaks meaningfully, gain half a million fans. The power to buy artificial people, the voices of support, and the hatred and hatred were, of course, detected by politicians. net advertising in electoral campaigns is no longer just banners, but services on social media, which in many cases balance at the border of the law and frequently even exceed them. Dissemination of false information (to accomplish benefits), providing false statistic and data, creating false profiles and comments, direct hatred in the form of insulting people and even criminal threats – all that is the basis for "modern political marketing" or "advanced product positioning" is in price lists and offers, and any service to defend society – they do not see it at all. There are more primaries and elections ahead – so the next toll begins, not to mention the standard actions of people who advance themselves online (and then sale the image in tv tournaments). Long live the free net from which we ourselves made a tool of enslavement.

Artificial intelligence (AI) can cheat too... and that's great.

Everyone is utilized to cheating on a granddaughter. Now comes version 2.0 – utilizing artificial intelligence. All you request is simply a good voice sample, and sometimes even a short video material, so that AI tools make a perfect avatar – with a realistic voice and image. Already at the minute (authentic!) – cheating on "granddaughter" is the past. Today, the telephone rings, and on the telephone you can hear the authentic (nearly – due to the fact that authentically fake) voice of the husband who asks his wife to immediately deposit hundreds of thousands of PLN for bail, due to the fact that he just caused a car accident. In the background, there is simply a "postsy" and "investigative", and the sounds of closing bars and sound of the station are heard. The possibilities are now gigantic, counterfeits almost perfect, and the victim's nervousness – authentic. All safety procedures request to be changed – it should be assumed that simple voice or face designation is no longer working. Fortunately for me, as I wanted to establish with my wife that we should be careful about specified types of fraud, my wife calmly replied that we were not in danger – due to the fact that she would not pay a penny for me, no substance what I say – but most likely not everyone is so secure. However, it is worth being aware that we are on the verge of a fresh wave of gigantic attempts at fraud. Part of the safety in banks and financial institutions besides becomes completely useless – what if we evidence the voice and confirm the transaction – erstwhile everything is fizzed. In a moment, double authorisation (order and phone) is not enough, but triple or quadruple verification mechanisms will be essential – and we may even return to individual visits to banks. Welcome to a fresh reality where artificial intelligence changes everything. Problem is, it's not always for the better.
