Robotic 'Third Thumb' Makes Tasks Possible With One Hand; Can Be A Game Changer For The Disabled (www.ibtimes.co.uk)

This controllable prosthetic, the Third Thumb, attaches to the right hand, granting wearers the ability to perform a slew of one-handed tasks such as grasping objects, opening bottles, sorting cards, and even peeling a banana.

I want it for gaming.

Asus would do good in hiring a real lawyer. Parents accept, kid uses router, data collected of child, illegal. So easy to rip them a new one.

To a way you can already do AI audio chat with sillytavern or tavernAI and oobabooga llm in the backend. Its a little setup required but you can find online tutorials. For example from aitrepreneur on YT. It's not perfect yet, but we'll get there. It's already fun to use, I just wish I had a better PC to run with a bigger and newer language model. Now using a recall function, that's too new, but I'd not surprised if we get that in a few months.

SomeGuy69 ,

Why is this upvoted. It's a wrong statement. Maybe there's no recall open source local AI yet but voice chat with AI is already possible without sending your information to anyone else.

CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information (futurism.com)

You know how Google's new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won't slide off (pssst...please don't do this.)...

SomeGuy69 ,

I mean they could disable it until it works, else it's knowingly misleading people

The snake ate it's tail before it's fully grown. The AI inbreeding might be already too far integrated, causing all sorts of Mumbo-Jumbo. Also they have layers of censorship, which effect the results. The same that happened to chatgpt, the more filters they added, the more it confused the result. We don't even know if the hallucinations are fixable, AI is just guessing after all, who knows if AI will ever understand 1+1=2, by calculating, instead of going by probability.

SomeGuy69 ,

Who doesn't like getting lawyer PMs because you made a dark joke on a meme subreddit? (Or in future fediverse)

The internet and technology moved on. We reached a point where google is obsolete. Google decided to cancel any product they had, that was not as successful as their ads space and now they have nothing else left. Is there even one service left that google is leading in? Maybe chromium browser and that's it. Yet one can easily switch to Firefox right now.

SomeGuy69 ,

So like every regular day waking up, but this time with the million dollar chance.

I'm just incredible lucky

So many people and politicians are falling for bots already. I think it's too late, because at the same time most lost the will to care. If no one cares, things get worse.

SomeGuy69 ,

Won't last long. Free apps will ruin that Amazon subscription plan fast. One can already get a local and free chatAI and it's already just a few clicks setup and I wouldn't be surprised if these get made more easier for the mainstream any day. The tech is just too new, but were getting there soon.

Because most other cars have become too similar and round.

Firefox 126: New Search Data Telemetry, Improved Copy Without Site Tracking, Security Fixes, and More (www.mozilla.org)

Telemetry was added to create an aggregate count of searches by category to broadly inform search feature development. These categories are based on 20 high-level content types, such as "sports,” "business," and "travel". This data will not be associated with specific users and will be collected using OHTTP to remove IP...

I was surprised yesterday telemetry was enabled. I don't remember enabling it.

The ability to speak doesn't mean you're intelligent.

Sure, put it on the pile of other big titty pictures no one will ever look at twice.

Which GoogleMaps alternative has user reviews? I downloaded organic maps suggested here and there are no reviews. When I'm in a new town I need to know where I can and where I shouldn't eat, shop or stay. At least there are some icons on organic maps, but that's it.

SomeGuy69 ,

Not when you're new in an unknown city. In my local city the ratings still make sense, I compared it with my own experience, so why would that change drastically elsewhere? It's often the only option you have, visiting every website individually is too time consuming and doesn't tell you anything about the service either. I bet even you look at reviews. It's easy to say their are faked but there is no non faked alternative.

SomeGuy69 ,

It's just a matter of time. Technically it's not too different then lobbying.

SomeGuy69 ,

I would like to run the apk, anyone got the app download?

SomeGuy69 ,

Isn't that like 99,99% of all apps out there?

Keep digging Musk

Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time?

I'm sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I'm sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense. I'm sick of it taking three attempts to successfully get the word I want. I swear it's been like this for five years or more. Can we have a better version yet, or at least the old one back?

SomeGuy69 ,

I'm a fan of HeliBoard now, it's not as good as gboard in it's word finding, but it's almost there. Good enough to switch away from Google by far.

Based on a true story (lemmy.world)

My OS is on a 512gb M.2 drive, but the main storage on my laptop was a 1TB HDD, it started making noise about 2 weeks ago so I backed everything up onto a 1TB SanDisk USB SSD. This afternoon it got very clicky when I booted it up after work and icons for a few games I had stored on it, like KSP and YUZU, disappeared from the...

When you click on shortcuts and the path was not found and suddenly common windows DLL are simply missing. RIP.

An AI startup made a hyperrealistic deepfake of me that’s so good it’s scary (www.technologyreview.com)

Thanks to rapid advancements in generative AI and a glut of training data created by human actors that has been fed into its AI model, Synthesia has been able to produce avatars that are indeed more humanlike and more expressive than their predecessors. The digital clones are better able to match their reactions and intonation...

Your comment reads like rambling, unless you're so much smarter than anybody else. I couldn't make out many cohesive thoughts, merely guessing here.

First of, our universe doesn't change the moment we touch something, else any interaction would create a parallel universe, which in itself is fiction and unobservable.

Then you talk about removing persistent information. Why would you do that and how would you do that? What is the point of even wanting or trying to do that? An AI robot talking and moving isn't that different than when we had non AI, case based reasoning. Even the most random noise AI can produce is based of something. It's a sum of values. We didn't and don't generate a computerized random number any differnt.

You can't proof that our universe is or isn't simulated, simplified the simulation would only need to stimulate your life in your head, not more. Actually what your eyes see and what your brain is receiving, is already a form of simulation, as it is not exact.

No Man's Sky is using generic if else switch cases to generate randomness. Else you'd get donut planets for instance or a cat as planet, but you never will in infinite generations. Just because there's mathematical randomness by adding noise, doesn't make it change much about its constraints.
Even current AI is deterministic, but the effort to prove that isn't realistically approachable. I personality believe even a human brain would be provable deterministic, if you could look into the finest details and reproduce it. But we can't reverse time, so that's going to be impossible.

However we can only observe our own current universe. So how would AI change that now? Also our universe is changing even when you yourself interact with nothing.

It would help if your were more precise in what you're implying. What change of anyone's perspective? Doesn't seam to be any different to the past, unless you mean tech illiterate, like people would react on seeing a video/photo of themselves for the first time. It's not like AI can read your mind and interact with things the same way you would, nor even predict or do the same as you.

AI is just guessing and that's often good enough, but it can be totally wrong (for now) by doing deterministically things with only one solution. It can summarize text but will fail by simple math calculations, because it's not calculating but guessing by probability, in its realm of constraints.

People are actually on BlueSky

There's now a decent measurement of user numbers (https://bskycharts.edavis.dev/edavis.dev/bskycharts.edavis.dev/bsky_users_total.html) ...

They've got about 1.6M MAUs ...
& 0.8M Weekly unique users & 0.340M Daily.

That's not nothing!

Roughly double mastodon and 60% more than the whole fediverse (by MAUs, see fedidb.org).

Bluesky is quite "international" with large Japanese and Brazilian popltns, and there's real attrition happening IMO.

Still, let the protocol wars begin I suppose?

@fediverse

SomeGuy69 ,

Fediverse isn't intuitive

SomeGuy69 ,

They'll fail so hard, can't wait to watch this train wrack. If YouTube is gone tomorrow this is just a little inconvincing to me. Competition will pop up for every single element. Be it gaming, music or video trailer or fan made content. YouTube is stacking so high, they haven't noticed we're ready to replace them. Not one huge new YouTube, just small parts and people create 4-10 bookmarks to get the same content.

SomeGuy69 ,

I didn't mean YouTube will die, it's obviously too big at the moment. But they will lose a lot of users, quite a few old sites still exists as zombie without much relevance.

With "they'll fail" I mean the CEOs who plan this, will fail, because there are alternatives. I should've been more precise. YouTube knows that, that's why they added shorts, they are already bleeding users.

Healthy growing company

Adobe’s ‘Ethical’ Firefly AI Was Trained on Midjourney Images (www.bloomberg.com)

When Adobe Inc. released its Firefly image-generating software last year, the company said the artificial intelligence model was trained mainly on Adobe Stock, its database of hundreds of millions of licensed images. Firefly, Adobe said, was a “commercially safe” alternative to competitors like Midjourney, which learned by...

SomeGuy69 ,

Correct. To a certain extend one can add AI data into AI, too much and you add noise, making the result worse, like a copy of a copy.

SomeGuy69 ,

Invisible artifacts still cause result retardation, realistic or not. Like issue with fingers, shadows, eyes, colors etc.

How do I enable the multi lingual typing?
In the keyboard settings I added German and English. Now I can switch with the spacebar, but I require it to work automatically. It should detect if I'm writing in english or German and then automatically change word suggestions and change auto correct. solved

Also not switch qwertz with qwerty layout, as obviosly I know only qwertz keyboard.
Also üäöß need to be hidden and replace uaos automatically by dictionary. AS it does in Gboard. I'll report back if I find the option. solved

Edit: Okay looking good with the auto correct and suggestions now, I had to click on my keyboard language qwertz German and add English to the multilingual and not both separately. Testen wir dies nun mit Deutsch. Works.

Ignore the double post. It appeared out of nowhere. Strange.

SomeGuy69 ,

Now after a day of intense testing, I got to say the keyboard is great. It has everything I needed to switch away from gboard. Even background image function and translucent keys and dual language. I really hope this project is maintained forever, that's how good it feels to use this keyboard.

SomeGuy69 ,

Some options are a bit hidden and you got to tinker a bit to understand what keyboard layout you want, but it's all there.

I never had the impression that there were enough people for the amount of work anyways. I don't see jobs go, but shift. Most developers will be fine, because of never ending work, AI is just a tool speeding things up. But not that much, as someone who is good with Google and git, is just a bit slower to find the same answers. And AI needs verification too, even if it links you directly to the issue at hand, via source url.

AI will create new issues. Some of the low level requirement jobs will go, like working in first level support, but only if you learn the AI yourself, else it's too generic. We're not there yet, where companies learn their own LLM yet. some outlier try.

We got to understand that there's still a human layer and a lot of people might prefer calling a human, even if the result is worse, simply because we're social beings. This can cost a lot of customers, if companies believe they can just shove an AI in front.

No one really knows how good AI will get. As the technology advances, we find more and more hard to solve issues, for instance that AI will make things up or gives wrong answers, despite knowing the real answer, if you pressure hard enough.

Also for security reasons you can't add AI everywhere, unless you want to send all secrets directly to Microsoft, Google or Facebook.

My 5 cents.

SomeGuy69 ,

Yeah, it's my second language. Sorry I wrote it a minute before bed, sometimes sentences become even weirder then. I went back and added some more commas. Haha

SomeGuy69 , (edited )

This result has so many loop holes it's incredible. You can't read a single sentence without exceptions, unknowns or generosity. Horrible, but Google probably can blackmail the world.

SomeGuy69 ,

Who needs the data anyways when they've already trained their AI weights with it or sold it? No one needs the original anymore.

SomeGuy69 ,

So you could become a hairless cat with $20.

SomeGuy69 ,

Just yesterday I thought about how Musk can't become president because he's not born in America.

SomeGuy69 ,

What? I'm not suggesting voters suppression. It's about Instagram, what has this to do with voters suppression? Don't you get informed about incoming vote by a letter?
I even quoted the part of the news article, did you read it?

SomeGuy69 ,

Omg. That's horrible, but now I understand the downvotes. I envy you not. I just read Tagesschau maybe once a week (not my only news source but still) and get a letter here when there's a vote.

You guys are really depending of Instagram and tiktok. Well I guess I live in a different world, as another user said.
