This is so opaque I don't think users will ever know what their data is being used for across all the megaplatforms. The data doesn't even have to be stored very long for AI, just used in training. Where the data is physically is becoming less relevant since accessing it is so accessible to anyone with a few bucks, regardless of "demands". It is almost guaranteed these days that the companies we use daily are trying to evade preserving privacy as much as possible for monetization in many other ways. We barely see the curtain, much less pull it back.

RISC-V is open source, not based in the US, and has the potential to completely change the economics of the processor market. This is why the U.S. government considers the technology a threat to national security and may try to suppress its adoption. There is a lot of fear around China having a first class processor option to produce. The processor architecture should perform as well anything else given the right foundry, so it seems possible that if the folks at AheadComputing have some innovative ideas, they might actually be able to leap ahead a bit. Changing the market is another story though, and it's hard to picture much change anytime soon.

ChatGPT sounds like Pam Bondi talking to Trump last week. People actually fall for this type of talk all the time, It seems like manipulation might be a feature of AI that we haven't been told about. In this climate, that would be a likely goal.

Is this not whining at it's best? Swearing must make it seem important. Human expression in filesystems? Sure. The reason PC's and Windows started with case insensitivity is that back in the day it was almost impossible to support pcs and having every command line in mixed case is a nightmare on the phone. You may not like it, but any OS with an X at the end was generally considered to be a support nightmare back then. Has much changed today?

"undeniably good". I take you think you know a lot about the state of the Defense Department IT systems. Guess what? They are a nightmare. An huge organization that is supposed to be increasingly nimble needs system support. In retail ignoring this is a death sentence. All this warfighting talk. Wars are won through logistics and technology. Money should be allocated appropriately. Maybe this is appropriate, we'll never know. Taking action for sound bites and to suck up to the orange boss is clear failure though.

I believe not trusting the mainstream media due to bias is naive. All reporting is biased. Small nobodies reporting are even more biased and frequently based on lies put out there on the net. This is not a right or left thing. Some outlets lie, some omit, some pretend to know the truth, other are trying to make up the truth. I believe the third estate SHOULD be biased. Talk truth to power. Put it all out there and let people decide. Don't let money or politicians rule the news cycle. Lots of what is being proposed in terms of censorship these days is pure socialism. Most people don't even get that, so as much information as possible would be useful if we expect people to think critically.

I would love to serialize my brain into a radio stream and go visit a faraway place at the speed of light. I'll UPS a UFO there first so I can get around.

Sure, I'll take the Wright flyer for firewood please.

It would be great to save this bit of history for the future. It is an irreplaceable relic that probably won't degrade too much over time. I get that we are in a gravity well, but we are talking about SpaceX. If someone knows the data, it would great to know how many raptors it would take to tuck away the station in higher orbit.

The whole Nvidia product line is based on killer MatMul. Now we may have a sea change in hardware and an open source framework to go with it. It seems like this may pop the market bubble in tech but anything to do with implementation is probably going to take off bigly.

This description of Recall sounds like they are feeding everything you do into an LLM that is supposed to help you. Every bad response to Recall is completely approriate IMHO and I also have wonder if MS takes all this knowlege for their own purposes somehow. Can they export the AI digested version of this and claim it's not the original screenshots, actions etc.? I would love to know what MS gets out of this if someone have some info. I can't see how Recall is a "feature" and I doubt it's for the users.

After some kind of technological singularity, "artificial" and biological intelligence will both advance rapidly and likely will merge and become indistinguishable from each other. This is what we are working on already so imagine what will be going on 1000 years from now. The advantageous trait inherited from AI is the ability to be copied at will and the ability to be transmitted between suitable supporting hardware. Advanced beings would have these capabilities and so therefore could travel at the speed of light to multiple places simultaneously. The problem is a being will need a host of some sort to be transmitted to. It may be the only way to handle this would be to physically move the host to the location wanted. Of course, being immortal, the beings would have plenty of time to wait for such a delivery. When all this is accomplished, beings can move around between locations, stay awhile using one host, and then move on to another place at the speed of light. One useful type of host would be one that could fly around and help support whatever reason the being has for interstellar travel. This flying host would look like a UFO to us. In this case the UFO is the alien. We will not find beings inside. It seems unlikely a host would be left intact if something happened to one since the occupant will be long gone. This concept basically is like a rental car pool for interstellar light speed travelers. I have no idea why they would want to contact us.

So this is a post about an article about an opinion. We can do better. I love my six speed and anyone who uses logic on this subject does not understand fun. Shall we start measuring the efiiciency of horses?

Here we have management not telling their employees what they are thinking or doing and expecting a bunch of sweet talk to keep their employess happy. Does anyone else cringe at how stupid corporate culture and managers can be? It would be interesting to hear what expertise McKinsey brings "from across the software industry"!. Go with experts, not authorities.

AMD is not even mentioned in an article about challenging NVidia? AMD can run CUDA apps using ZLUDA today, but somehow it's news to talk about plans to address NVidia some day with Intel technology? Companies are directly supporting AMD now with their new MI300X chips and software capabilites such as Microsoft, Meta and OpenAI. Seems to me this rocket is launched and that's where the game is. It's not clear to me who cares about committees.
