Here's the scent:

• AI companies can’t stop election misinformation with watermarks

LLAMA IS A SYMBOL OF WHAT’S RIGHT & WRONG IN OPEN-SOURCE

So, Meta rolls out Llama, an AI model available only to a privileged few researchers, and it's like a hit new album dropped for VIPs only.

But surprise! Llama escapes into the wild, landing on 4Chan, and it's like someone bootlegged the album.

The result? A digital Woodstock, with programmers everywhere jamming to Llama's code and even creating their own cover bands like Alpaca and Vicuna.

Now, AI experimentation isn't just for the elite anymore.

The openness of Llama lowers the barrier to entry and takes AI from an elite status to a field for the people. Anyone can play with a model now.

Then Meta finds a way to embrace the moment. Enter stage right: Llama 2, armed with 40% more data, now officially open-source and free for commercial use.

It's like a food truck giving away gourmet meals to anyone with a hankering for high-end cuisine.

While many laud this new frontier, there are some red flags on the play.

Sure, Llama 2 sounds like the digital equivalent of a communal potluck, but it appears Meta's brought a dish with some secret ingredients.

They're staying tight-lipped about the training data used for Llama 2, a new trend that’s left researchers concerned about oversight.

And there's a condition in the license agreement that might leave other tech giants feeling like they've received a 'no-entry' sign. And that acceptable use policy? It's more like a strict list of don'ts.

They gave you a Ferrari but you can’t go over 25 MPH.

On one hand, Llama 2 is like Meta's Android to OpenAI's iOS, adding a pinch of competition to the mix and fostering innovation.

As we applaud this move towards democratization, it's important to remember that with great power comes, well, potential misuse.

The concern isn't unfounded. After all, who's to say the next "programmer" isn't a villain with a propensity for chaos?

As we look forward to seeing what Llama 3 brings, let's hope Meta ensures safety measures are as much a priority as innovation. Because, let's face it, we don't need a real-life sequel to 'War Games'.

LET ME TELL YOU THE TALE OF GLORBO

Here’s a good ol' prank on our AI overlords involving Destiny 2 fans, a mythical boss, and the contagious hilarity of Glorbo.

In case you missed it, Glorbo—the menacing boss that doesn't exist—is the latest meme sensation taking the gaming community by storm.

What started as a simple bait by World of Warcraft players to fool AI-based content scrapers became an epidemic of giggle-inducing hoaxes.

For the uninitiated, Glorbo is a mystical figure that was supposedly alluded to in the Kings Fall raid of Destiny 2.

Players crafted intricate stories around this fake boss, like "Glorbo killed my grandma," and "Glorbo will be tougher than Oryx." Glorbo lore is even in actual game discussions, creating a mix of joy and confusion among fans.

And the punchline? Once again, an unsuspecting AI took the bait hook, line, and sinker.

Hilarious, yes, but also worth a pause.

This saga demonstrates two things: the unchecked spread of misinformation and the power of fan communities.

Fooling AI models is great. However, the news coverage of the incident can dilute the point they’re making on AI credibility.

The Glorbo prank, while amusing, serves as a reminder about the holes in our AI systems.

It’s too easy to deceive these models.

On the brighter side, it showcases the unmatched inventiveness of the gaming community and their ability to hijack the narrative to create shared experiences.

Yep, we might see a new Glorbo in every corner of the gaming universe moving forward, heck, a developer might even add a real Glorbo to their game (you heard it here first, folks!).

But one thing's for sure, it's always a wild ride in the world of gaming, where fans shape lore as much as the developers…and AI.

So, whether you're holding out for the Glorbo boss fight in season 23 or just having a laugh, remember this: AI may be able to beat us at chess, but we've still got the upper hand in humor and creativity.
