Correct. The article says this:

"The researchers then fed the data into machine learning algorithms trained to recognize faces."

What is "the data" here? We don't know.

The article wants to suggest that some people view portions of data more selectively but it doesn't say that. Also, what are the "earliest stages of visual processing"? They say "retinal encoding" but if that's true then the OP's description of what was done wouldn't show anything.

"...but rather their bifurcated OS..."
Apple created the different OSes for different use cases that, Apple thought, required different user interfaces. They sustain it for this reason.

"...but are prohibited from doing them because Apple wants to sell you both an iPad and a Macintosh."
No. Apple maintains different user interfaces for different use cases, it is the touch vs. mouse UIs, the large vs. small screens, that drive the differentiation. I'm not even convinced Apple cares to sell you a Mac anymore, or an iPad. Apple sees both product lines as non-growth.

There is nothing wrong with hating Apple's approach, but claiming it exists for bogus reasons is something else. Apple thought Microsoft's approach was wrong, that integrating touch with mouse or touchpad was wrong. It appears they are trying to reverse course on that, but that's the reason iPads are worthless for doing work. Android tablets are also unsuccessful, tablet computers are limited to vertical applications and casual use.

People forget that tablet computers existed a decade before the iPad, it's good for certain things but creation is NOT one of them.

And neither is good when your hands are full doing other tasks. I'd love to see you do the dishes with one hand while holding your iPad or iPhone with the other, all the while watching videos on a tiny screen rather than paying attention to what you are doing.

These are the standards of iPad users.

"He does this, he says, because he wants to boost his influence over the world, because he wants to help teach the AIs about things he cares about"

It takes a real narcissist to think your writing is going to teach AI's anything. Apparently he doesn't realize there's a million SuperKendalls for every one of him and AI can't tell the difference. That or he's one of those SuperKendalls.

It's the data scientists who decide what AI's learn from, and they don't really give a shit.

"...neurodiverse workers were 25% more satisfied with AI assistants and were more likely to recommend the tool..."

You know who else would be more satisfied? Stupid people. Chimpanzees would find AI unimaginably great.

And that's not a knock on "neurodiverse workers", it's a knock on the "study". In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. What matters is what the "tool" can do, not what the deficiencies of some users are.

Comment merely a goal? (Score 1) 78

"...the goal is to facilitate rapid infrastructure buildouts without raising residential electricity rates."

If infrastructure buildouts are needed to power AI why is it merely a "goal" to avoid raising residential electric rates? Why should the society pay even a penny for electric wastefully consumed by billionaire's companies?
