Meh. Companies will always operate in their own interest. What matters is to constrain their behavior with legislation, like California’s Cap and Invest program.

This is my hole. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

His spouse reasonably complained that an audiobook wouldn’t be in his voice. But Sng wasn’t to be outdone in the zero-effort-parenting department.

“I can train a voice model,” he countered, before addressing his readers: “Parenting hits different when you work in AI.”

Sometimes I feel bad about myself, but at least I don’t say stuff like this.

Please stop with this nonsense. It diminishes the gravity of the word “fascism”.

He must be Dothraki. He met “the stallion who mounts the world”.

In order to work less (fewer hours or more time off), we need legislation that restricts work hours and requires companies to grant a minimum amount of time off. I agree with the sentiment that AI could free us up for more leisure, but in the absence of legislation, companies will just squeeze more productivity out of each worker without granting more leisure time.

Honestly, if I was the leader of a religion, AI would seem like a great tool. Create an agent with live voice chat that is prompted to give all of the religion’s fundamental ideas. A single religious leader could create the app, and millions could use it. The leader could assert that the app is designed exactly the way that ${deity} told the leader to design it, so that the followers are essentially talking with ${deity}. It would be just like THX 1138.

Don’t make fun of vegetarians. We are still human beans.

It’s also unfortunate timing. The most valued chips these days are the ones with high parallelism, for AI performance. If Apple turned its eye to GPUs, maybe they could challenge Nvidia.

You can tell that Trump has never used AI for anything other than generating images and videos, or he would call AI stupid as soon as it attempted to correct his absurd and narcissistic worldview.

I had to downvote due to the paywall. Sorry.

What I would give for a good hijink…

I’m just glad that I wasn’t born in 1890. A world war, then the great depression, then another world war.

What the hell? Why hasn’t she changed her password yet?

Aha, the article explains:

After having trouble navigating the technology, Stacey was offered help from Pucci, who said he would need the car to be registered in his name so “he could take control of the Tesla app to ‘assist her’”.

It’s the rocks that make them crunchy.

No, it’s not legal, but at this point there are no federal officials left who are willing to enforce the law when Republicans break it.

Finally a good use of the “front yard”.
