Wow the head of AI for MS doesn’t know what the word freeware means.

It’s the ISP cutting the Ethernet by opposing net neutrality so they can force you to use their overpriced cable TV service. An inverted mockery of the traditional “cord cutting”, just as the image depicts.

The thing exact thing Squid Game is satirizing resembles Squid Game? I’m shocked.

There are tons of machine learning algorithm libraries easily usable by any relatively amateur programmer. Aside from that all they would need is access to a sufficient quantity of geographically tagged photographs to train one with. You could probably scrape a decent corpus from google street view.

The obtainability of any given AI application is directly proportional to the availability of data sets that model the problem. The algorithms are all packed up into user friendly programs and apis that are mostly freely available.

They wouldn’t fight the landlords because a lot of them are landlords.

They would simply lobby to have the law repealed or, more likely, vetoed before passing. Failing that, they would exploit every loophole and edge case to take advantage of it and cry to lawmakers and voters that the law is the problem rather than their circumvention of it.

how is it an experiment to restore things to the way they used to be? pretty sure we already know how it works out.

people do pay for discord though. that was the entire justification for Nitro and Server Boosts. they made $440 million in revenue in 2022. they aren't publicly traded so there's no way to compare that with expenses, but i'd be pretty surprised if they weren't turning a significant profit.

if you feel comfortable mucking about in your BIOS, disabling TPM will pretty much guarantee they don't spring 11 on you. they are really dead set on that requirement for some reason.

if the stakes are so low then blocking them is as low-stakes as not, so why make a fuss about it?

Non invasive BCI capable of the exact stuff neuralink has demonstrated has existed for a while and its probably a much more viable way to help the disabled than cramming chips into their head.

There certainly is a history of attacking Apple over their use of encryption. I wonder if they're still mad they didn't get that iPhone backdoor they wanted.

    I cannot conceive of a task where a humanoid robot would be better suited than just a robot built for the task without trying to mimic a human form.

    underisk ,
    @underisk@lemmy.ml avatar

    Yeah but the article says the only thing these ones are gonna do is deliver parts which is probably overkill for the likely expense for the kind of sophistication necessary to imitate even a fraction of a human worker’s versatility. To say nothing about the difficulty involved in adapting them to various tasks without reprogramming or training.

    wouldnt it make more sense to do a trial that tests their supposed advantages over purpose built robots rather than one which decidedly does not

    Do people hold shares in the private equity firms buying up all the homes and driving up the housing costs? No no it’s all the NIMBYs fault.

    Sam Bankman-Fried deserves 40-50 years in prison for FTX fraud, prosecutors say (www.reuters.com)

    NEW YORK, March 15 (Reuters) - Sam Bankman-Fried should spend between 40 and 50 years in prison after being convicted for stealing $8 billion from customers of his now-bankrupt FTX cryptocurrency exchange, prosecutors said on Friday....

    @underisk@lemmy.ml avatar

    I mean it’s still an AI, it’s not going to be able to perfectly block everything because they’re statistical, not deterministic. I’ve had Bing block generated images from displaying because they probably got classified as a banned subject, so it’s not exactly unprecedented.

    The part you're missing is the metadata. AI (neural networks, specifically) are trained on the data as well as some sort of contextal metadata related to what they're being trained to do. For example, with reddit posts they would feed things like "this post is popular", "this post was controversial", "this post has many views", etc. in addition to the post text if they wanted an AI that could spit out posts that are likely to do well on reddit.

    Quantity is a concern; you need to reach a threshold of data which is fairly large to have any hope of training an AI well, but there are diminishing returns after a certain point. The more data you feed it the more you have to potentially add metadata that can only be provided by humans. For instance with sentiment analysis you need a human being to sit down and identify various samples of text with different emotional responses, since computers can't really do that automatically.

    Quality is less of a concern. Bad quality data, or data with poorly applied metadata will result in AI with less "accuracy". A few outliers and mistakes here and there won't be too impactful, though. Quality here could be defined by how well your training set of data represents the kind of input you'll be expecting it to work with.

    underisk ,
    @underisk@lemmy.ml avatar

    You're not entirely wrong. It's more like a series of multi-dimensional maps with hundreds or thousands of true/false pathways stacked on top of each other, then carved into by training until it takes on a shape that produces the 'correct' output from your inputs.

    He did more than say legally binding things. He signed a contract. That had a clause in it to prevent him from backing out, because the management at Twitter fully expected him to try it. I think he had made several gestures at buying before to try and get some kind of influence over how it was being run, so they drew up the contract to make him put up or shut up.

    a 3/4 split for the laborer is way more generous than anything that occurs in reality.

    Microsoft stole my Chrome tabs, and it wants yours, too (www.theverge.com)

    Last week, I turned on my PC, installed a Windows update, and rebooted to find Microsoft Edge automatically open with the Chrome tabs I was working on before the update. I don’t use Microsoft Edge regularly, and I have Google Chrome set as my default browser. Bleary-eyed at 9AM, it took me a moment to realize that Microsoft...

    Edge, unlike Internet Explorer, is not a system level dependency. There is a separately installed web view that handles that now, likely due to EU consumer protections.

    They care about them in a performative way. The minute it stands in their way or they can’t use it as a tool to get your support to gain or maintain power they will immediately drop the act. Before Oberfell even Obama wouldn’t give a clear statement of support for gay marriage because it was seen as political poison.
