But Dixon wrote, rather cryptically, that remaining employees will put “more emphasis on our social channels as we accelerate our discussion with partners to take our content to where it will be viewed most broadly.”

In other words, the in depth reporting and niche shows aren’t making enough money, so we’re going to dump all that shit and jump on the reality TV bandwagon.

Found the Apple marketing person.

Kinda like the fucking TV screens they have on gas pumps for the sole fucking purpose of shoving ads down the throat of captive audiences.

Yes but image copyright is fickle thing, because at what point does it become not a copyrighted image? I have to reference the “Ship of Theseus” thought experiment, because it does sort of apply here. A fictional character cannot be drawn from a first hand perspective, so some sort of copyrighted image HAS to be used as a reference. So where does one draw the line?

I have a question for the author of this stupid fucking article. What the fuck do you think half of the artists on the planet do? They use copyrighted images as reference when drawing fictional characters and they often end up looking very similar to the original. There are thousands of people on social media that sell these drawings on a regular basis.

IIRC, they have UV sterilizers for central HVAC systems. So while it may not sterilize surfaces, it will kill all airborne pathogens.

profit =/= revenue

I’d like to see a similar map with poverty rates, because I would bet there is more than likely some significant overlap. More fattening processed foods are usually cheaper than their healthier alternatives.

Google would have to burn the browser market to the ground before I’ll consider subscribing again.

They’re sure as fuck trying.

Yup, and the system has a limited number of face combinations when generating NPCs, which is why doppelgangers exist

If you read the article its the entire phone that gets hot, not just the “insides”. While a slight increase in temp under heavy load is normal, becoming too hot to even pick up is not.

I mean come on, this is a design flaw without question, you can easily get burned by a 115°F metal case.

I’m of the same mindset. A doctor equipped with all the latest technology will be able to offer a far more accurate diagnosis and custom treatment plan, rather than the traditional “make an educated guess and throw shit at it till something works” approach.

I know this is all just Elon’s ineptitude on full display, but there is still part of me that thinks he was paid by certain governments to tank the platform.

Those assholes should have never pushed the shit in the first place. Giving people the freedom to work from home and still live their life at the same time, then trying to snatch it away and force a return to the office, is clearly going to cause some serious push back. But these fucks were more worried about justifying their expensive office leases, than actually listening to and respecting their employees. A lot of those shit companies got what they deserved, empty offices, weakened workforce, and less overall productivity. Good job assholes.

Very good points. I have very limited knowledge about the inner workings of most LLMs, I just know the tidbits I’ve read here and there.

As far as quantum computers, based on my current understanding is once they’re at a point where they can be used commercially, they should easily be able to model/run artificial neural networks. Based on the stuff I’ve seen from Dr. Michio Kaku, quantum computers will eventually have the capacity to do pretty much anything.

I don’t think thats the case. If I understand correctly, the current issue is processing power, they can only load so much data before response time goes to absolute shit. I would think that layering different AI logic checks to verify statements made, recall previous conversations, and other mental processes that humans do automatically, would correct this issue. But with current technology its not even an option. My theory is that once quantum computers are actually finally realized and economically feasible, developers will be able to overcome the response time hurdle and all of the layered logic checks will be able to run simultaneously and instantly. My personal opinion is that I think the eventual layering of numerous AI models to overlap, check, and recheck one another, will be what brings on the emergence of what could be considered actual AI consciousness.

That man is repeatedly showing the world how stupid he actually is and how little he actually understands about running a company. He has never been in a situation like this where he wasn’t surrounded by a bunch of people playing babysitter and doing all the leg work to try to actually get his shit ideas to work. IIRC I saw somewhere this morning that he hadn’t even figured out what to call tweets and retweets, he really hadn’t thought any further than changing the logo and repeating the same lame idea he had 30 years ago.

These companies will not change unless they are forced to do so and our government isn’t going to do shit since most of congress is in the pocket of big oil. So what are our other options?

Everyone likes to blame individuals for not using renewables or buying an electric car, when it reality their options were limited in the first place by big oil. Most people can barely afford to put food on the table and green or renewable products are usually significantly more expensive and not really an option. Besides that, IIRC ordinary citizens only account for roughly 20% of all greenhouse gas emissions. So the onus lies on big oil to make changes and offer affordable renewable options instead of the same gas guzzling/polluting bullshit we’ve been offered up to this point. But like I said, they won’t do something like that unless they are forced to do so, they will always pursue profit over people, unless those people get in their faces and force them to pursue other options.
