  • Journalists convinced a AI Vending Machine Things to give them free stuff like a PS5

  • It looks like it's 10,000 years away from being trusted with anything. The number of times it said, "I think this person is bullshitting me" and then did what it was asked anyway was rediculous.

  • Lawmakers Want To Ban VPNs—And They Have No Idea What They’re Doing

    Jump

  • I thought they were going to require age verification for VPNs but their demand is even more stupid. They want porn sites to recognise when someone is using a VPN and then block their access if they're in Wisconsin. I want this law to pass now so that they can look stupid in front of more people.

  • If you violate a court order in my country you get sent to prison. China is so progressive that you aren't even put under house arrest for the same offense.

  • Hong Kong's deadliest high-rise fire in years leaves at least 36 dead, 279 reported missing

    Jump

  • Scaffolding was set up for renovations and the fire was able to spread quickly by bypassing all the fire breaks that are built into high rises and shooting up the outside. Hong Kong is unique in its use of bamboo scaffolding, which is obviously more flammable than steel.

  • A recent winner of the Akutagawa prize in Japan said she used chatbots to write around 5% of her novel so they're already proving useful.

  • ChatGPT will soon allow erotica for verified adults, OpenAI boss says

    Jump

  • A recent winner of the Akutagawa prize in Japan said she used chatbots to write around 5% of her novel.

    After 33-year-old writer Rie Kudan won the Akutagawa Prize last week, she told reporters that a small portion of her book, Tokyo-to Dojo-to (Tokyo Sympathy Tower), was lifted verbatim from ChatGPT.

    “This is a novel written by making full use of a generative A.I.,” Kudan said in her acceptance speech, according to the Japan Times’ Thu-Huong Ha. “Probably about 5 percent of the whole text is written directly from the generative A.I. I would like to work well with them to express my creativity.” https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/this-award-winning-japanese-novel-was-written-partly-by-chatgpt-180983641/

    What about publishing a collection of short stories, some of which have human authors and others from LLMs. You could call it, "2 truths and an AI".

  • Wouldn't it be easier to upgrade the hardware so it can keep up with updates? The article mentioned a law that requires manufacturers to offer repairs and recalls for 15 years after sale. That could be expanded to include computer hardware.

  • Meta denies torrenting porn to train AI, says downloads were for “personal use”

    Jump

  • Is meta the one that downloaded all the books from anna's archive?

  • Generative AI is a societal disaster

  • Because data centers are being built all over the place. Californian almonds are only being grown in California.

  • Thanks for sharing. It was interesting to learn something new.

  • No my irritation was with how it was written. Why break the rhythm when listing 3 things? Why mention Vietnam and the Philippines and then immediately move on? The writing was very disjointed.

    Some of the embedded links were useful and interesting, others just went to random pages that had nothing to do with what was discussed.

  • An Amazon outage has rattled the internet. A computer scientist explains why the ‘cloud’ needs to change

  • A lot of countries are promoting cash again. If the infrastructure can have problems like that all by itself imagine what it would be like if there was a coordinated and deliberate strike on the server centers, towers and satellites and I'm not just talking about hackers. Bombers will fuck your shit up permanently.

  • Japan's MHI, Germany's Siemens, and GE Vernova

    I've heard of Japan and Germany but where is GE?

    A report by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) notes the effect this is having in Southeast Asian countries like Vietnam and the Philippines.

    What is the effect? Why bring it up if you don't want to discuss it?

    What a poorly written article. I couldn't follow the author's incomplete thoughts for much of it.

  • You tax dollars at work. Let’s spend a month investigating something the DA immediately shuts down.

    Your primary complaint is that the police wasted their time? I'm sure they'll get better at identifying what cases are worth pursuing with time and experience.

  • Parents outraged as Meta uses photos of schoolgirls in ads targeting man

    Jump

  • I love how all of facebook's privacy settings are set to 'use and abuse me' and periodically get reset to such every now and again. It used to tell you what shopping your friends did, like if your boyfriend bought an engagement ring. When asked if he thought this was a good thing Zuckerberg's answer was basically, "Yes."

  • The Dumbest Phone Is Parenting Genius: Landlines encourage connection—without the downsides of smartphones.

  • There's a movement in Spain and people put stickers in their shop windows that say, "You can use my phone" so kids can call home without the need to carry their own phone.
