what chrome? haven't used that in ages

iAvicenna ,

it does not look like a derivative at all

iAvicenna ,

I mean, you do need to fit into one of those

iAvicenna ,

I mean it is not sharing if you are dead, it is bequeathing

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.)...

iAvicenna ,

now his assistants can proudly put the word AI in their presentations for the shareholders

iAvicenna ,

The worst part is they don't seem to realize their responsibility in this as the leading search engine that the majority of the world uses. They seem to have the mindset "our answers are potentially dangerous for users but it is ok we have an army of lawyers"

iAvicenna ,

not gonna lie it would be fun to watch some of those employees who backed up Sam because they were worried about their shares' values lose their shares because of him and learn a bit about how dictatorships work

iAvicenna ,

"Many of the examples we’ve seen have been uncommon queries,"

Ah the good old "the problem is with the user not with our code" argument. The sign of a truly successful software maker.

iAvicenna ,

So maybe working your engineers 24 hours a day isn't a great idea?

iAvicenna ,

inkscape in my opinion is intuitive to use, maybe because before I was used to Photoshop

iAvicenna ,

hmm gimp also does vector, atleast I tried a while ago but it wasnt very pleasurable honestly

iAvicenna ,

shoving down mandatory AI down everyone's throats I see? Probably part of a behind the scenes push by government or sth since they will be tracking and recording everything going forwards. I can even see people crying "But think of the AI!"

I mean this data will most likely be more useful for surveillance/ads than for AI. Nowadays with AI they can make it look like they are only a couple steps away from a very intelligent personal assistant and therefore make it seem more plausible that they need your data to make that leap. But in reality I feel like it is not the level of AI that could leverage personalization, at least not in the context of personal assistance. In the context of behavioural mapping it is of course a super lucrative deal for them. There are already very useful tons of AI stuff that they can add which does not require personal behaviour info (at least not to this generality) and yet they don't seem to spend as much effort into those and instead they are like "we need all your info stored somewhere for this very super (and mandatory) AI search assistant". Big red flag.

Lets see, cryptocurrencies involve tech bros, fin bros and lots of money. I am not surprised it is on its way to become the most disgusting money making scheme in the world.

iAvicenna ,

Also biting itself should be included in the list

iAvicenna ,

greed coupled with high ambition is the biggest problem. neither on its own is as destructive

iAvicenna ,

wow I had forgotten about this website for such a long time. Like maybe 15-20 years ago it was a great resource for fantasy themed drawings and inspiration for rpg games

iAvicenna ,

Samsung is like the apple of the android world, which makes it way worse

iAvicenna ,

That is a whole lot of combinations that I will not even come close to consuming together for the duration of my life

iAvicenna ,

And the end game iiis ... voters thinking she will date them if they also dont for Biden?

iAvicenna ,

Huh who would have seen that coming out of prioritising income over employees (and users)

iAvicenna ,

I mean we aren't even fighting AI, we are still fighting greedy little turds

iAvicenna ,

When regular hot dogs aren't as American as you would wish

iAvicenna ,

main use cases: government surveillance and chatbot girl friends

iAvicenna ,

are you really vacationing if there is no one to witness it

iAvicenna ,

you can not measure the location and the speed of your vacation at the same time with high precision

iAvicenna , (edited )

you forgot to say the video lasts 2 hours the actual maneuver five seconds

iAvicenna ,

I mean there are still websites that open themselves 10 times so you can't click back out of them. I am curious as to what their end game is. Do they imagine we go "well damn can't go back out of this page, might as well start living here now"

iAvicenna ,

it is beyond me why people do such stuff

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...

iAvicenna ,

I thought for a second I was in boring dystopia

iAvicenna ,

back in the olden days it was either ubuntu or "path to becoming a driver programmer"

iAvicenna ,

"It seems the idea is that Tesla puts Cybercabs on the streets, and makes an app for booking rides using the software-controlled vehicles, and people can add their private Teslas to the available pool."

This is now on the level of people harassing programmers with ideas like "it is like facebook but better"

iAvicenna ,

I am not seeing any robot kicking footage, not convinced.

iAvicenna ,

I am undecided between flanged mace and bec de corbin

iAvicenna ,

forgot to add, "wake up humans at 2am and go back to sleep immediately afterwards"

iAvicenna ,

I mean it says Graph Neural Networks, dont know how more AI can it get

iAvicenna ,

does that mean people wont be able to use chrome in their macs?

Fairbuds are Fairphone’s proof that we really could make better tiny gadgets (arstechnica.com)

But of course we all know that the big manufacturers don't do this not because they can't but because they don't want to. Planned obsolescence is still very much the name of the game, despite all the bullshit they spout about sustainability.

iAvicenna ,

fuck wireless headphones! I don't want to remember charging another god damn thing to start with.

"Permission is Hereby Granted" -- MIT License text becomes viral “sad girl” piano ballad generated by AI (arstechnica.com)

On Wednesday, prompt engineer Riley Goodside tweeted an AI-generated song created with the prompt "sad girl with piano performs the text of the MIT License," and it began to circulate widely in the AI community online.

wait till people start calling it AI programmer
