There’s a lot of magical thinking about how AI will actually help the labor market, but it seems clear to me that the entire reason for the billions being pumped into AI is the potential to slash labor costs.
It’s like they’re building human wood chippers while telling us that all these human wood chippers will actually result in fewer people being fed into wood chippers.
Sure, I have no doubt that a terminated NIH scientist will have no trouble finding a “factory job” that pays two or three times as much.
What world does this guy live in?
I’m just spitballing here, but maybe you should find out what people want first, and then build that.
I’m not surprised that Hannity finds it “almost impossible to comprehend” that someone would resign to uphold their principles.
Also ironic since in this case the President and Secretary of Homeland Security immediately came out stating that the victim was a domestic terrorist and tried to murder the ICE agent with her car before any investigation was conducted, and both of which turned out to be false.
About 45 of the most confusing seconds
Very true, and a big part of the reason most people won’t want this.
It’s like the “AI pin you wear that absorbs literally everything you see and hear” product that was pitched a couple of months ago. Kill it with fire!
The article keeps using the phrase “upcoming XR revolution” but I don’t see this gaining much traction outside purpose-built implementations for specific jobs, and a subset of tech enthusiasts.
Long-time Linux user, have never run AV on my Linux machines.
A few years back, I was forced by compliance rules at work to install AV on a Linux server and started looking for solutions. I shopped around a bit and what I found was that even the commercial AV vendors who supported Linux had no more than 4 or 5 actual signatures to detect Linux malware, and they were all 5 or more years old.
Things may have changed since then, but this may be a good way to think about it… how much Linux malware can these tools actually detect?
Yes, Linux rootkits are a thing but if your AV doesn’t detect them, there’s no point running it.
Think I like this even better than OP’s
OMG yes… I wrote a macro that copies thousands of rows and then closes a file and I had to add a step to copy just one cell before closing to work around this stupid message.
I love how many people rushed over to help her. Good citizens looking out.
In my opinion, Musk does not consider himself a Nazi, despite his involvement in far right causes and patent racism.
I think he just can’t stand the idea of a world where other people can tell him what he can and can’t do. This was him going out there to show the world, “I can do whatever I want” with the most extreme example he could come up with. The “lol you call everyone a Nazi” trolling afterwards was icing on the cake for him.
I say this not to excuse or condone this in any way. It clearly was 100% intended as a Nazi salute.
He’s a pathetic creep whose mental development stopped in adolescence. See also: Stephen Miller.
I think the point you are making is that “AI is useful,” which is slightly different than “AI is great.”
I’m an AI hater, but I’ve found some niche areas in my life where it’s useful.
But I still see the overall net effect of AI - well, at least of LLMs, which are a small subset of AI - on the world to be overwhelmingly negative to the extent that the niche positive impacts are not remotely worth the costs.
Something looks kind of off when he folds in the side mirror… it seems to disappear entirely in an instant.
Otherwise, the video looks real enough… Who knows.
EDIT: on further review, the camera shifts right to an angle where you can no longer see the side of the car… and you can still barely catch a glimpse of the mirror a second or two later. False alarm.
Just when you think the US Congress could stoop no lower than Marjorie Taylor Greene, Nancy Mace steps up to the plate and hits it way out of the park.
Murder one person, you go to jail
Murder countless millions and you’re a champion of industry cutting through needless red tape.
Similar story for clothes dryers:
My parents’ dryer had 2 knobs for temperature and run time, and a start button. Ran forever and dried clothes.
My dryer has like a dozen programmed cycles that rely on a moisture sensor that doesn’t work and leaves clothes damp unless you use the manual time & temp settings, which takes several capacitive button presses on a circuit board that is likely to die before any of the actual mechanical components of the dryer. Also for some reason it has Wi-Fi.
That’s true, I don’t mind people being paid at all. I’d rather that than some dodgy AI.
I still found it funny that Amazon was implying this was some kind of technology marvel when it really just boiled down to webcams.
Dear Mr. Karp, please fall off a cliff
