The article doesn’t say what type of testing they did. Clearly it wasn’t enough.

To do a super upvote you can give Lemmy gold.

“Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realize we cannot eat a machine learning algorithm.” - traditional Native American saying.

Lifetime movies are awesome because you can put them on in the background and they’re not at all distracting from the main task you’re working on.

some people still recommend using a VPN and IP address from a country where YouTube ads are prohibited, such as Myanmar, Albania, or Uzbekistan.

Wait, you can just prohibit YouTube ads at a national level? That’s somehow awesome and terrifying at the same time.

This article was a lot of words with very little information.

Microsoft is offering wallpapers, ask Google what it’s offering before you make the decision.

Thank you, that was very interesting, especially the second article. It’ll be worth watching the details of how this plays out over the coming years.

That’s very interesting… can you suggest a good article covering this topic?

OpenAI should have given some money to the people who own the movie “Her”. Then they could have claimed they were just mimicking the character.

But I never thought anything like this would happen. That the cloud, search/google, mega platforms and AI would swallow the whole thing up.

I didn’t think so either. The funny thing is, Blade Runner, The Matrix, and the whole cyberpunk genre was warning us…

Fear not! Eventually you’ll be forced to take an update that will bring this blessing to you:

On devices that are not powered by a Snapdragon® X Series processor, installation of a Windows update will be required to run Recall.

So if it’s “AI”, and it’s remembering what I do on my computer, does that mean it’s going to hallucinate about what I did on my computer?

Back when I deleted all my comments, I was told I could claim to be in Europe and make a request citing the European law that Reddit has to follow. I think Reddit had a page where you could make the request, but of course it was hard to find.

Imminent Death of the Net Predicted!!1!

You know a meme is old when it’s in the Jargon File instead of knowyourmeme. This one goes all the way back to 1983.

This is behind a paywall, so we’ll never know.

We are approaching another AI Winter. AI goes through hype cycles:

• some flashy new capability captures everyone’s imaginations
• Companies and researchers exaggerate the possibilities and people are led to believe that full AI is right around the corner.
• Then with familiarity people realize the new capability isn’t really that revolutionary, and the term “AI” is distrusted again, for another decade or two.

It’s been that way since the 1950s. Read more about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter

Compare to the “Cottingley Fairies” photographs of 1917.

If the masses don’t come here, that’s fine. For now, we just can just take the people who post and comment thoughtfully.

I really miss iTunes circa 2007 (I think?) before it got enshittified. I had it running on a Windows machine with my carefully-curated music library until the machine died. I got the music files off but had to reinstall iTunes and by that time it was a bloated piece of crap. I haven’t found the equivalent since!

While traffic has not changed substantially,

This is a terrible thing for most social networks, which are expected to grow continually. When the IPO hits, who wants to buy stock in a stagnant social network? Especially one that has been described as stifling creativity?

You can cancel Prime and keep your Amazon account. A lot of stuff still ships for free on orders of more than $25.

So use Chrome for that work, and Firefox plus an adblocker for everything else.

Is there a way to see what’s happening to r/place without actually going to reddit? (like a stream or something.) I don’t want to give them the traffic.
