Checkmate, I called the police.

Optical discs were sold to businesses as a near-eternal solution. And then they do this… Are they serious?

Next time I meet a conspiracy theorist in my workplace, I probably have to confirm he’s right…

I think this is a universal fediversal problem. We are rather informed, but the problem is the rest of the world.

I really like Jobs-era Apple and hate M$, but didn’t feel the urge to defend A this time.

The opposition says the reforms, which among other things criminalize contempt of parliament by government officials, are needed to bring more accountability, but the DPP says they were forced through without proper discussion.

Checks for politicians, please. “They forced us” appeals to the sympathy, but the logical conclusion is NOT “we remove it”. In short, it’s a bad reasoning.

The hatred is unfortunate. It’s just a button with a simple software launcher. If people don’t want the logi driver they don’t have to install it.

Likely it’s as simple as a pop up window with UI dedicated for constructing text with ChatGPT. Very useful, nothing more.

My guess is that you can reassign a different command just like other logi mice.

Did we ever agree on AI training with our Reddit comments btw

If you have pre-trained model or a classical voice matching algorithm as the basis, few samples might suffice.

Most clients don’t understand art or graphics to begin with, I guess. They just wanted someone good at Illustrator.

I think the quality definitely degraded, but that’s exactly what capitalism wanted. It’s going to darwin a big chunk of us through climate change that’s accelerated by the electricity needs.

This is starting to resemble Putin’s rhetoric against NATO since he invaded Ukraine

Means nothing to Recall.

His testimony comes after Microsoft admitted that it could have taken steps to prevent two aggressive nation-state cyberattacks from China and Russia.

According to Microsoft whistleblower Andrew Harris, Microsoft spent years ignoring a vulnerability while he proposed fixes to the “security nightmare.” Instead, Microsoft feared it might lose its government contract by warning about the bug and allegedly downplayed the problem, choosing profits over security, ProPublica reported.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is now personally responsible for security flaws.

I say BS.

Nah, if 2 are really working, just buy 998 and he’d have at least stuck to the number. Whether that improves something is the actual question.

I just hope they’ll let non-profit app stores join. I just want an open source package manager tbh.

No, Japan just listened to the previous app market monopoly that was NTT Docomo and other providers who wanted their money pot back.

The funny thing is that this is probably lobbying from NTT Docomo, who lost their own app store monopoly for feature phones the moment smartphones arrived.

I think the advancement in graphics and computer vision is too huge to be comparable to what happened in audio.

Adobe has probably employed dozens of top-level PhDs to implement and train AI models, optimized their code.

Hobby projects will never reach that level regardless of the number of users.

Even proprietary developers would have to close the gap made for 10+ years, with far less resources. Just look at the state of Affinity…

I don’t think it’s realistic.

This is a horoscope trick. They can always say AI destroyed humanity.

Trump won in 2016 and there was Cambridge Analytica doing data analysis: AI technology destroyed humanity!

Israel used AI-guided missiles to attack Gaza: AI destroyed humanity!

Whatever. You can point at whatever catastrophe and there is always AI behind because already in 2014 AI is a basic technology used everywhere.

This is basically Article 5, so… Putin won’t care what he said.

Japanese Prime Minister

I feel the Doc in Back To The Future vibe.

This is just labeling. You can label everything as bad at will. I’m fine with that, it’s called “you’re entitled to your opinion”. That’s not objective though.

I can say it’s both on point and not. For the not, you can ban the gun in the UK and it will be very difficult to bring one from the continent. Peace. But the same is not true for AI. If the UK government bans AI, Russia can still bring it through the internet.

And then I can still counter-argue that one, and then counter-argue this one also. See what a mess a metaphoric arguments bring.

I already write one reply to tell my main point. But whatever argument you come up with, I don’t think that’ll match the reality as viewed by AI researchers. If you give me specific short questions I’d be happy to engage in a discussion, with conditions on time.

In any case, I won’t listen to metaphoric arguments like yours with guns because metaphoric arguments are very difficult to do scientifically. Every situation is different. I mean that anybody can always end the discussion saying “that’s oranges vs apples”, and everything time this happens you’d not have an objective way to counter that.

The reality is, passing this huge amount of data was the only way these crazy current AI models work as powerful as ChatGPT. With a restriction like you fantasize, the AI programs would have been dominated by bad actors and the west would not have a counter technology for a decade if not longer.

Regulating the outputs of AIs would be a separate story. But it’s still overwhelmingly difficult. OpenAI is actually advanced in this region in the sense that they have in pocket the single best technology to politically balance the replies by a chatbot.

We aren’t naive. We all knew this will happen. But, as it happened, it was better than banning AI in the free world and giving dictators advantages in AI tech.

I think one has to gather more proof before concluding that the gap is due to LLMs. It can also be that the engagement was lost due to third party app drop. We don’t have stats to distinguish them.

The moment of a historic hand shake

Yup, the megarich owns, what, 99% of the wealth? 99% of people are just negligible errors in statistics, depending on how you measure the economy.

Well, so, you use password generator, the password screenshot is saved.

This makes most password generators useless because they show the password for user feedback. You can turn this MS AI off, but I will have no idea if there was a bug.

This is great, I can show all my 4k porn collection to my managers doing Teams screen sharing!

Corporations are bad and yet still follow laws (in the west). The bigger issue is state actors. Especially the non-democratic ones.

Technically, being open source or free ala GPL isn’t enough. Protocols aren’t enough.

You need a guarantee that you own your data.

Crazier than it sounds. We don’t see the page contents AT ALL by default.

That’s apparently how Russia works.

Yes. If that looks bizarre, they’ve forgotten his Presidency.
