As a kid back in the 80s I was fascinated with all the talk about AI. Later, when I started programming, and then studying computer science, I found out that all we had was neural nets, ML, everything that we now call "AI" - just without large enough models due to not enough computer resources for quite a while until we had this recent "wave". But there was never any path of "AGI" with a meaningful definition of the term.
Basically, we have no idea how the brain actually works. We have some very rudimentary ideas about neurons and made models based on those ideas, and some people hope that if these models become large enough, they will somehow, automagically, give us AGI. This is not how it works, there is no known technical path to general intelligence, consciousness etc, it would require a huge breakthrough in the theory, not just faster hardware.
Talks about that also take away from what this AI revolution is actually useful for, like we have some pretty good use cases for both generative AI and knowledge-based AI - a combination of those is also very promising, and we are generally very early in the path these will take us.

This is hundreds of lives destroyed (or ended). I would be interested to know of greater miscarriages of justice.
Unless you don't mean modern history, in which case I guess you can reference witch-hunts etc.

Yes, it's not that they knew they had buggy software. They actually went to court and declared that their software is correct and can be used as proof!
It's mind-boggling how it took so many years for this to be uncovered.You have hundreds among hundreds of postmasters being convicted, like how is that not a huge WTF moment for anyone in government, the justice system etc.
The people responsible should be prosecuted (both at Fujitsu and the Post Office), but as usual, they probably won't and the taxpayers will end up with most of the bill...

I bet AI writes their responses.

I thought "digital twins" design was something like the Binars from the classic 1st season TNG episode...

So.. It really whips the Llama's ass?

What do you mean "everything"? Surely not the cake!

First they declare Pluto not a planet, then they declare potato not a vegetable... Did I grow up in a lie???

Systemd is pretty much the opposite of the Linux philosophy, so it's not unexpected to get a Windows-style BSOD. Not saying it's a bad idea, and it should not affect me as I only have to do with systemd on headless servers, but still mildly amusing.

Define "baby".

Nice expose by John Oliver about the "bright minds" behind these things (McKinsey & Co). It's geo-restricted, so if you are at the wrong side of the planet and have no VPN, this is a shorter clip.

"Friending" in Plex means sharing your media library with someone. If you share your porn, they already know. I don't see how this is a problem. I don't put porn on my plex and I also don't "friend" anyone, which was the traditional way of using Plex. You know, viewing your movies and tv series on all the screens in your home...

The summary doesn't mention the profit, but if Nvidia's profit is also higher, TSMC should take not and start charging Nvidia more to make their chips ;)

I understand the whole trying to get more companies in the launch business which is good for all. But at this point, the average slashdoter has an equal amount of experience at reaching orbit as Blue Origin.

And, yes, the SpaceX comparisons are valid because NASA did not give money to SpaceX to do outlandish things way beyond their progress at the time.

On the other hand I prefer throwing some money after small players (even though Blue Origin specifically has been very disappointing so far), than Boeing...

So, the events of the call are not in question. He had the code on his screen, participants saw it before he did and took a screenshot so he later admitted it. He had source code open and directory structure included everything like ValeoDocs etc.

What is in question is that Nvidia claims that afterwards they removed his contributions. Obviously, as all of us working in big software projects know, that's not exactly doable if it's someone who's been part of our team working for a while...
