If they are anything like the leadership at my company they have received plenty of information about what AI can do from that IT, but you see they went to this convention in Las Vegas and some self-styled “business guru” told them everything they wanted to hear.
They go on about long-term investment and then you find out that what they’re actually talking about is things that will start returning a profit in 6 months. Half a year is long-term to them.
If you have a long-term view and want to make quite a lot of money you probably couldn’t do better than shorting Apple stock. They never innovate anymore (every iPhone is literally the same as the previous years), and they spend huge amounts of money on failed projects (Vision Pro), meanwhile they continue not to fix ongoing serious issues (Safari).
Is it really task automation if it does it worse than a drunk human could have done it?
Maybe they’re just getting the wrong people to provide training data. The kind of people who drive Tesla’s do tend to drive like morons, so it would make sense.
" It’s not that hard really all you have to do is be around people who already want to move over". Yeah thanks for that advice.
I have a very similar strategy to being rich, step one is to be rich already. Simplicity itself.
The problem is there’s no one on signal that I want to talk to. So “just ditch the app” isn’t actually helpful.
Okay I’ve scanned my eyeball and I’ve got some of their worthless cryptocurrency. What about next month, do they want me to scan my eyeball again, because I guarantee it won’t have changed.
If World ID becomes one of Reddit’s third-party providers, it would be good news for Tools for Humanity, which was founded six years ago with the lofty goal of providing a universal basic income to the world by offering them cryptocurrency called Worldcoin in exchange for scanning their eyeballs with an Orb.
What the actual fuck.
Seriously how on Earth is that supposed to work?
Ai is both a scam and going to take everyone’s jobs, depending on who you talk to.
How much ever do you put into changing gear. It really shouldn’t be that difficult are you definitely pressing the clutch down?
It’s getting more efficient by the day. They used to have to launch it into the air before it had blow up. This way it saves time
I’ve often thought that worker cooperative call centres should be a thing. The people who manage call centres barely understand the contract because inevitably they higher management from outside of the company, since no one on the phones could possibly be management material.
It would probably make quite a lot of money because one of the biggest complaints that companies have about their third party call centres is inefficiencies. Even if the bosses wanted to fix the inefficiencies they can’t because they don’t understand the contract at a base enough level. In a workers cooperative that wouldn’t be an issue since the workers would understand the contract.
Unfortunately it probably would face the issue that all new starts in the industry make, in that most businesses are locked into multi-year contracts with their call centre providers and can’t just swap to a new provider whenever they want. So you’d have to time its startup very precisely as a big company came to the end of its contract, or you’d probably have to get some clients on board before you even started.
That right there is the problem with this discussion. They’re not even remotely similar technologies.
The ones doing protein folding are specialised limited capability AI. They are absolutely useful and very good at their jobs, but they are not the kind of AI that the public are using.
The public are using large language models and Diffusion-Based image generators. Not the narrow AI that you’re talking about.
We used to have a poster up at work in the IT room that had a picture of a person scratching their heads and looking blankly at their laptop and the text “I’ve tried nothing, and I’m all out of ideas”.
Some people have zero troubleshooting skills and don’t even try. Their immediate reaction is to try and make it someone else’s problem.
And they all suck, my boss is still alive.
Oh yeah sure.
“This model could enable the manufacturing of biological weapons, anyway here it is”. A totally believable and not at all marketing BS statment from openai, winner of the most inappropriately named country in the world award.
As opposed to windows, macOS will effectively refuse to run any software that is not signed and notarized by Apple themselves.
You can put Windows in strict mode but it makes the computer virtually unusable. The other thing been is it there are techniques that attackers can use to bypass these checks thus making the signatures irrelevant anyway.
The EU like any large government is filled with people of varying quality. Some of them are absolutely amazing at their jobs and some of them can barely operate at light switches.
Normally whenever some dumb tech related regulation comes in you usually find it’s being pushed by the idiots. You can usually tell by reading the text of the legislation and by the end of it you will have come up with about 300 problems.
A good example of this is reading the Tracking Cookies legislation (bad) and the GDPR legislation (good), the difference in the size of the text of the bill is visually apparent.
I don’t know how you’ve managed it but you’ve managed to invent toxic-domestication, The idea that someone’s life can’t be worth living unless they are working. I don’t know maybe you’re young but when you get to your 40s you begin to realise that actually what you really want out of life is just to be left alone, you really aren’t craving notoriety. If you can just sit in the hobby room and build airfix models or whatever then go to the pub, for the next 40 years you’d be happy.
I really don’t know why you’re arguing about this because there have been actual experiments where people have been given UBI and pretty much everyone ends up just going and doing their own stuff. I’ve never heard of anyone complaining about being given free money.
Why are you being intentionally disingenuous?
I will say it again just so it’s stated.
People are not going to move to another service unless they can obviously see the benefit in moving to that service. People who are not technically inclined (that doesn’t mean stupid) are not going to see the benefit.
Don’t be rude about people you don’t know anything about. Don’t insult their intelligence just because they’re not as interested in a very niche area of technology as you are.
spoiler
Also note that if you are going to be rude about people you know nothing about, you had better check your grammar
