I really hope this doesn’t make us nostalgic for the TSA they were already a brand new organization designed to make us scared to be in the airport.

Microsoft is looking to butt in on the pc gaming market with their new Xbox project I wonder if it has something to do with that.

That’s the problem with a C- in economics. If you sit behind that person and decide you’re going to just try to write the opposite of what they do you’re going to get an F

It makes me wonder, Jepstein set a lot of gears to turn independently, but without the spider at the center of the right-wing web I wonder how completely the propaganda will deteriorate as there’s now one less cohesive force at the center pushing it forward.

Yes. You should have to censor yourself for neighbors and peers to have a functioning society. You should not have to do it for corporations. The line is pretty cut and dry and we should fight to keep it.

Not Sammy Sosa!

“but some day I might! And then people like me better watch their step!”

Sorry, but it’s more like a crab apple.

It looks like an apple, it’s presented like an apple, it’s advertised like an apple because that is what makes the YouTuber money. But scientific methods and standards exist for a reason. It’s very easy to produce bad data and especially easy to extract bad conclusions from data if you have an incentive to do so (such as a fan base who might engage with the video less if the conclusions were against their expectations)

There’s a chance that this guy’s conclusions reflect what a proper study might have found, but it’s just too hard to tell if it’s a crab apple or not it’s essentially probably a little better than chance.

If Trump starts insulting the banks and trying to impose control on them that would be a sight to see.

Yeah for real, what does this mean exactly? All forms of machine learning? That’s a lot of computers at this moment, it’s just we only colloquially call the chat bot versions “AI”. But even that gets vague do reactive video game NPCs get counted as “AI?” Or all of our search algorithms and spell check programs?

At that point what’s the point? The disclosure would become as meaningless as websites asking for cookies or the number of things known to cause cancer in the state of California.

Hater fact?

This article convinced me to buy a flipper (I’ve been debating it for years). It’s a super useful item that is absolutely going to get banned/hamstrung any day now for putting too much power into people’s hands under the guise of “public safety”.

I want it because it’s so easy to use. I’m no hacker, but with a tool as convenient as this I’m sure I can piece some useful hacks together.

This was my first thought. It’s sticky because unfortunately for her this is the type of thing an opiate addict would lie about.

SpongeBob is a pedophile?

Especially because the app is called “tea”, like the slang term for gossip. The letter of the intention may have been good but the whole thing is toxic.

It’s meant to deify these CEOs. Gullible schmoes see this and think “well that makes sense, he spends every hour of his day working. That’s three times more than me! No wonder he makes a million times my salary! See, the only reason I’m not making billions is because I don’t have the divine skills and talent to work on my company all day.” (Or, “I choose to have a work-life balance cause I don’t mind making a little less money”)

These CEOs have PR teams dedicated to slipping out stories like these so it keeps the CEO looking like a king.

Filament died of cringe 😔

It’s semantics. The difference between an llm and “asking” wikipedia a knowledge question is that the llm will “answer” you with predictive text. Both things contain more knowledge than you do, as in they have answers to more trivia and test questions than you ever will.

“the vaccine is useful for some protection and for other people it wanes”

Yeah and the measles makes some people immune and for some people they die.

Edit: also, what kind of argument is that in the first place? “Yeah well sometimes it provably provides a positive benefit to people’s lives in a statistically significant way, and sometimes it’s neutral with no downsides???”

Some More News had the right take on this: all these companies just dumped (either in investment or development) (hundreds of) billions of dollars into AI development.

The problem is, we’re still 10-15 years away from AI being actually useful in gadgets and stuff. But these companies want to get paid now, so they’re shoving the cheapest, shittiest “functional” AI onto the market just to try and recoup some losses. And it’s painfully apparent it isn’t working.
