People gamble because they crave novelty/risk, but gambling addicts ignore that the same risk even exists. I suspect AI has many of the same social effects because it easily provides novelty with largely the same kind of at least semi-randomized results and has an acceptable accuracy risk for the occassional users. It also has the same problem for the addicted who ignore that the risk of mistake exists or that the novel claims produced are nested together factoids retrieved based on popularity and repetition rather than accuracy or any physical/logical/proof-based criteria.

While the humanoid form is a needed restriction, I don't think restriction on sensors make sense (as long they are embedded). The end goal is to have robots fitting our human made world so they can replace worker and kill civilians not fair competitors at random sports. Even the joints of humanoid robots are way superior than ours in many area.

Nvidia (and AMD too) doesn't care about retail anymore. For the first time, retail can not upgrade their hardware while older hardware are becoming more expensive. The steam machine, if it is released, will probably be one of the most common hardware. A machine those specs barely reach PS5 level. In normal times, having hardware reaching descent FPS for path tracing would have been the norm in 2027 because of Ai it will remain a privilege of high specs. Fortunately Apple is not into the AI server/research business neither in software nor hardware. Their hardware does have success among AI hobbyist. I remember people saying Apple will be left behind because they don't have a frontier model of their own. Turns out it's a good thing for their customers who want to buy hardware and not a chat box terminal.

I think people enjoy doing acting. Why replace human in enjoyable and creative activities with machines? I know the answer is money but at what point you will need to find a solution so people can survive and still find some meaning in their life.

Genocides and assassination is already a thing, no need to make things complicated with an unstable virus. Any state or big criminal organization can kill a family or do a genocide. States can already hire/train people to do research on biological weapon, no need to wait for a bio vibecoding tool. AI companies like to be over dramatic with their tools, it's part of marketing. GPT 2 was too dangerous to be released https://slate.com/technology/2... . Anthropic does the same shit with its Mythos model.

Yes these glasses are used by peeping tom. I don't know why it is now normalized. I remember when google glass was new, people wearing were seen as scumbags. I don't want to be recorded by random. With phones, it's obvious when you are being recorded and people may think twice before pointing it at strangers but with glasses they have no limits.

TBH, our brain already does that to us.

It's funny to use regex while your company is making advanced natural language processing. They could easily make a small model to generate an accurate score. Their regex will score "wtf! It is working!" as negative.

I can't count how many times my PII have been leaked by private and public entities. Luckily, each times they assure me my password has not been leaked only my name, address, phone number, social IDs protected by this password are in the wild. I can't win this fight, my PII are open data at this time. And because government uses prehistorical methods to confirm identity, it's very easy to impersonate someone with all these data.

Microsoft announced Advanced Shader Delivery which does that, delivering precompiled shaders or partial ones when not possible to enumerate all combination. They did it for the rog ally(obviously easier for a fixed hardware) and now plan to extend it to pc. https://devblogs.microsoft.com...

Well I 100% agree with you but the authors think they are vibe coding a text based game engine in react. I guess it's good for them since AI probably scores better on React than ncurse. TBH I'm not a fan of these people, just a BS tweets among others.

One claude code's maintainer tried to flex and said his software was comparable to "a small game engine". So no, they want performance, smooth text animation. For some reason they chose to use React to do terminal text rendering and struggle to achieve 60fps. Imagine if they chose Python+react. Note, I never used claude, just copilot and codex and I can't see why it's difficult to achieve 60fps basic text animation on modern machine, we had mplayer playing movies in the terminal back in the days. Maybe they should try to fine tune their AI on libcaca.

I mainly use mastodon, there is no feed algorithm. Far better than having an algo maxing views with rage and click bait tailored to my brain. Following people when they interact in an interesting way with my existing network is enough for me to discover new things. Social networks algorithms are useless to me, not designed to enhance user experience.

That's altman own words: "grind for a decade trying to help make superintelligence to cure cancer". His company main focus is not to cure cancer, LLM and video/image generator which is where the money go won't cure anything. AI used in medical research cost nothing in training compared to these things and don't attract VC money. They just want to replace human workers to sell their product to make more money which will ironically lead to more deaths from cancer because jobless people won't be able to afford existing treatment.
