Warnings probably work better on products you're putting in your body. If you have blackened lungs on the cigarette packaging I can't imagine choosing to smoke.

On social media, you basically have to destroy my experience for me to stop using it in the same way. All effective options are terrible: ads, microtransactions, auto-playing unexpected sounds, nonresponsive interfaces.

Kolrami ,

Humans are as smart as they ever were. Tech is getting better. I know someone who was tricked by those deepfake Kelly Clarkson weight loss gummy ads. It looks super fake to me, but it's good enough to trick some people.

Kolrami ,

It sounds somewhat like her character from the movie Her to me, but based on the standards set by the entertainment industry it seems reasonable for her to lose the lawsuit. If you can't hire an actor for a role, you can get a voice actor to do a similar voice. This is done often in animation.

Crispin Glover's lawsuit against Back to the Future 2 could have set a precedent for image likeness, but he ended up settling, so it seems the industry is just avoiding this problem instead.

Kolrami ,

Yes, I differentiate because I think Scarlett sounds less like her character from that movie in real life.

Kolrami ,

Doesn't seem staged. The demo was imperfect in very normal ways. One imperfection was when it was referencing an old picture that he had earlier sent to the program.

I'd be more convinced it was staged if everything were perfect.

Kolrami ,

Is it Missi Pyle's husband Casey Anderson?

The picture's not too clear, but I bet there aren't a lot of famous people that are best friends with a bear.

Kolrami ,

Oddly, "wreckless" might mean the exact opposite.

Kolrami ,

Synchron has a similar technology and their death count appears to be lower than Neuralink's in animal trials. Unfortunately, this article doesn't actually show the death rate of the trials.

Kolrami ,

Watching the video seems better than reading an article since you get to hear from the patient. It's in the article, but they posted a Twitter video link.

Kolrami ,

In a non-Euclidean space you can have values of pi that aren't even constant. The first that came to mind was the surface of a sphere. This is actually an interesting problem.

Kolrami ,

The only one of these I can see socialism eliminating is unemployment. You can easily have dictators and wars with socialism.

Kolrami ,

In what ways is YouTube shorts different from tiktok?

Kolrami ,

Also, it's incredibly low effort to cover it. There's no subscription plan for covering a webcam.

They should show a small, but representative sample of questions they gave it.

Also they should compare the scores to similarity scores for a flesh and blood smart human that answers the questions.

Kolrami , (edited )

Good question. I don't have a good source, but this one guy tried to come up with a breakdown a few months ago and in parts alone he estimated $1529.

Inner and outer display including display lens:
$840

Silicon content including M2 and R1 chips:
$240

Sensors and cameras:
$120

Battery:
$18

Spatial Audio:
$11

Housing, PCBS, cables, connectors, and packaging:
$170

Assembly:
$130

It aligns with the number in the article. The rest seems like a business decision.

Kolrami ,

Technology does way more than what some consumers want without adding enough value. Ring doorbell just grossly increased their ring protect plan cost and I'm starting to wonder:

"Why are we paying monthly subscriptions for them to just store two months of snapshots with a few videos?"

MARS isn't doing a good job of proving you wrong.

According to Invenda’s website, the Smart Vending Machines can detect the presence of a person, their estimated age and gender.

I'm confident I don't need a vending machine to know any of that.

Kolrami ,

Absolutely. Nowadays you could afford an external hard drive to store such a small amount of videos. Plus, it gives you the benefit of having fewer eyes on your data. The notion of storing data on the cloud turns me off of having certain indoor cameras.

Kolrami ,

Yeah, but you're probably not a quadriplegic or have ALS.

Kolrami ,

The old stuff I saw around twenty years ago that was actually good was pretty invasive. I think I saw research on Duke doing this with monkeys around 2004 or so. Also I didn't say it was revolutionary, I'm rejecting the belittling of any advances in technology just because I have the ability to click a mouse with my fully able body.

Kolrami ,

The end goal isn't just to create a brain-controlled mouse. When I'm talking about criticizing advancements because of what they can currently do this is part of my problem. Technology in this vein could be the precursor to mechanically regaining the ability to use your own limbs. People equate justifiably disliking Elon and specific issues with Neuralink to deriding technology in general.

Kolrami ,

Did you read my comment?

Yeah

Just to be clear what Elon musk announced was not an advancement in the space of BIC. He is touting a pre-existing technology as an advancement.

Yeah. He said they were controlling a mouse. it's an advancement for his team, not for BCIs in general. I saw the video. He didn't even sound that excited about it.

Should be very concerned about Elon's role in [this] space.

This is the part I agree with, but it's not where the criticism and jokes in this thread were directed even though he's the biggest reason why people don't like Neuralink.

Kolrami ,

They explicitly say that the image is AI. That doesn't mean the article is. I'm not sure what your comment is implying.

Kolrami ,

That looks like a human generated image. If you've played around with text to image generators you'd be hard pressed to find a keyboard that accurate. If I had to guess it's a separate keyboard and monitor. That's why the keyboard doesn't seem to be centered. The hands are in the wrong place probably because they're simply placed further to the right than a normal typist would be.

For real, try to generate images with a variety of current text to image models and you'll see what I mean.

Kolrami ,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that makes sense. The planet Vulcan was destroyed in that 2009 movie. It exists and changed in Discovery.

Kolrami ,

This is going to be a really weird thing to argue, but I just casually read through a bunch of your comments and they seem like meaningful contributions.

Kolrami ,

In the canon, I think they just end up looking like the grown up version of themselves. My reasons are because in the movie, Mary (the oldest) is played by the same actress when she transforms and in the comics (Kingdom Come, I think) years in the future one of the Justice League members sees a person who he thinks is Captain Marvel, but it's just grown up Billy Batson.

Kolrami ,

I've always thought the hand signs would be difficult, but the best combination should be fire, water, sponge.
Sponge soaks up water, water puts out fire, fire burns sponge to a crisp.

What piece of paper can really stop a rock?

OpenAI wants to raise 5-7 trillion dollars. Yes, Trillion (decrypt.co)

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is in talks with investors, including from the United Arab Emirates, to raise between $5 trillion to $7 trillion in funding. The goal, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal, is to increase the world's chip manufacturing capacity and enhance AI capabilities....

Kolrami ,

It's much easier to do that with Lemmy. It's simply less useful because there are fewer users.

Kolrami , (edited )

They appear to be moved around because the original creator [didn't] put the text boxes in intuitive places. It's instinct to read from top to bottom if both text bubbles are centered at the same spot.

EDIT: missed an important word

Kolrami ,

Yeah, that's what I meant. I accidentally wrote the opposite. Added the word.

Kolrami ,

Give an LLM to a high school student and they could do something with it.

Try to explain block chain to an adult and watch them pretend to understand.

Kolrami ,

I'd rename two categories.

Bottom right: I'd rather refer to a cake as "lasagna" than call lasagna a "cake"

Bottom left: if someone made a quiche without walled sides I'd still call it a quiche, so I'd rather call that category "pie"

This has the added bonus of making most pie people furious and some pizza people angry unless they like Chicago deep dish.

Kolrami ,

q1 and q2 can be negative. The force is the same as if they were positive because -1 x -1 = 1
