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.)...

Like when they got drafted to Nam

blazeknave ,

I use it like crazy, but I never forget it's just a heavy duty version of keyboard next word suggestions

blazeknave ,

This is a new feature mastered during BLM. This scares me the most.

blazeknave ,

You should see it in person. Just drove by it today. Support them!

blazeknave ,

Ty. As soon as I saw the headline, I knew I wouldn't be finding value in the article.

blazeknave ,

Lmao accidentally read this from Steve's perspective and thought "bullshit, that's a fun place to be!.. oh.. wait.. let me read.. oh yeah, horrible."

blazeknave ,

TY! My first thought was he was this poor sweet guy who just wanted to play Civ and fell for this grifter

Dell responds to return-to-office resistance with VPN, badge tracking, and color-coding of employees (arstechnica.com)

After reversing its position on remote work, Dell is reportedly implementing new tracking techniques on May 13 to ensure its workers are following the company's return-to-office (RTO) policy, The Register reported today, citing anonymous sources....

blazeknave ,

Color coding humans.... Following in IBM's footsteps yet again. 1939 was a hell of a year for the database.

blazeknave ,

Priced out of living in communities where you have friends and family to share things with? Hooray! Now you can pay us for that stuff in addition to your increased cost of living!

I hear you. I'm not the everything sucks and nothing matters if it's not complete, type of person. This just seems like a bandaid for breaking up community. It's good to solve problems, but I'm concerned we shouldn't have this problem.

blazeknave ,

Well put. It's preventing waste and excess for sure. It just seems like a manufactured problem from pushing us apart.

Curious what goods you don't think friends would have back in the day from your perspective

blazeknave ,

Random number generator 2fa?

blazeknave ,

Why can't we seize this cunt's assets? He plays states, the Fed.. wtf?

blazeknave ,

Haahhaahhaahahahahahahahahha and that last spiteful act by X.... Hahahahahah I can't believe I've never seen this

blazeknave ,

Glad to see your reply and remind me to watch again lol

blazeknave ,

Tell us more stories. I have former relationships with your trust and safety folks among others. Never heard from integrity

blazeknave OP ,

That feeling was so good.. better than that loosie goosie 5.25 literal floppy bullshit having to flip the latch and whatnot.

blazeknave OP ,

Thin computing and VMs are still expensive migration, especially something this proprietary I'd imagine

blazeknave ,

I feel like at their scale, if there's going to be a figure head marketable CTO, it's going to be this company. If not, you're right, and she's lying lol

blazeknave ,

How do you configure to keep it offline? Just blocking in dns/router?

Let’s not make the same mistakes with AI that we made with social media (www.technologyreview.com)

From the article: "In particular, five fundamental attributes of social media have harmed society. AI also has those attributes. Note that they are not intrinsically evil. They are all double-edged swords, with the potential to do either good or ill. The danger comes from who wields the sword, and in what direction it is swung....

blazeknave ,

Found Ultron everyone!

blazeknave ,

But a time travel capable society per the above comment?

blazeknave ,

Citizens United

blazeknave ,

Lol didn't we do this 20 years ago?

blazeknave ,

Oh you!

blazeknave ,

Have you read Ishmael?

blazeknave ,

Whenever I'm hating myself for my single use weaknesses, I picture a nurse doing one blood test or bandage... In every room.... In every hospital... Everywhere.. and that's just healthcare which we give a pass for obvious reasons. If you want to project your self-hate onto others instead of using the exercise to chill out and be kind to yourself, you can even think of other industries like how much shit is coming out of some gun or Budweiser factory somewhere 🤷

blazeknave ,

I definitely agree with you. If a warrant is valid and attained honestly and legally in good faith through real evidence of serious crimes, that's different than sending dick pics through Prism. In theory that mirrors how IRL should work.

Is there any kind of social contract RFC proposed to set global standards for boundaries? To your point, companies prefer to have clear discreet understanding of the laws, compliance, and generally accepted best practices. Easier, safer, cheaper. Everyone wins.

Imagine variable scoring on different traits per entity, that would make different rules/boundaries applicable! E.g., North Korea's independent journalism score makes them inapplicable for XYZ activities (email account access, phone unlocks? 🤷).. CSAM 100% inexcusable, tiers of limits on disinfo or hate speech..

Would anyone reading this take something like this seriously? I can't own this. I'm not at all an expert. But I have friends at places like Mozilla, EFF, and standards bodies, to whom I could reach out and maybe help with intros.

..And then you realize your tl;dr is 'who wants to play pretend world police with me?!?!'.. and to what ends is it enforceable? Realistically any major entity can pull out of anything at the cost of their customers (and potential civil damages suits). Microsoft can stop supporting SPF, Schneider can stop supporting standard voltages. It'll cost them customers, but it's not regulatory/mandated, correct? If pornhub builds a city in the Pacific and refuses to relinquish emails about human trafficking, does the UN send armed forces? Obviously not. But do they get disconnected from 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8 or w3c's yellow pages?

So what would make someone or some entity, trusted? Just curious for the thought exercise to see what you all think, and the sociological repercussions.

blazeknave ,

eBay!

blazeknave ,

I agree. You can't have civilians being slaughtered anywhere. Everyone has lost their fucking minds with mental gymnastics. It's all bad. There are no excuses. Nothing to do with politics, defense spending, feelings, whataboutisms... All genocide and war is bad.

blazeknave ,

With all products and services with any capacity to influence consumers, it should be presumed that any influence is in the best interest of the shareholders. It's literally illegal (fiduciary responsibility) otherwise. This is why elections and regulation are so important.

blazeknave ,

Also has more capital than the German government. Can ramp quickly.

blazeknave ,

Fuck the g ride. I want the machines that are making em

blazeknave ,

They must have like an enterprise master agreement IOT-specific thingy right?

blazeknave ,

Yessir

blazeknave ,

You didn't react at all differently this time around after having seen it?

blazeknave ,

Yes.

blazeknave ,

Eli5 please.. in lieu of US trust busting, couldn't literally any government entity like the EU, where msft etc Al do business, have stopped this acquisition? How did this happen in the first place?

blazeknave ,

Yeah last week I found myself thinking "blazeknave what the fuck are you doing?? You're prepping online research, for your meeting in five minutes. How did you end up sorting the linen closet? Fuck you man! "

blazeknave ,

I mostly started watching to see what they were up in arms about. By the penultimate episode I realized it was the runrate level of "woke" and how pathetic the snowflakes are. Enjoyed the series and excited for more.

blazeknave ,

I wasn't interested in the show until I heard the buzz as a result of people whining about how "woke" the show was. I enjoy representation in media and wondered what the problem was. I watched. I kept waiting with baited breath for the big woke reveal
But it never came. Bc it's not that controversial.

blazeknave ,

Counterpoint. An opportunity to repair the error of our past ways by creating new more inclusive opportunities🤷

I'm also not as anti reboot, sequels, etc as many of my nerd brethren. So I'm fine with lazy remix.

blazeknave ,

So that's your perspective and it's valid and matters. If you consider the perspective of others, you may find it's not lazy, but actually one of the only forms of representation in mainstream media of these ideas. People are particularly butthurt when you include their nostalgia and find it an afront (sp?) to them.

So whereas one familiar but not invested may see an on the nose literal call out of how "we already know these groups feel," the aforementioned, underrepresented groups' members may see themselves finally represented on screen.

blazeknave ,

I did! I'm a cheap date. I like the one with the women, and the one with the kids. Life's too short to be critical. I know what's junk and what's not. I just don't care enough to be discerning when deciding the method to turn my brain off sometimes

blazeknave ,

Endlessly rehashed? Alternative underrepresented ideology is overdone? Sounds a lot like "I don't care what they do, as long as they keep it in the bedroom" .. you're only okay with it, if it's amount you're comfortable with, not a threshold determined by the underrepresented.

blazeknave ,

Google weeps in corner

blazeknave ,

I know them. I worked in this industry. They're not naive. What basis do you have for these comments?

I think you're conflating with business executives running said social and gaming companies. Stop calling them techbros. Meta is not a tech startup. They're a transnational corporation. They have capitalist execs running the companies.
