  • Artists are losing work, wages, and hope as bosses and clients embrace AI

  • If you present either view alone it will be incomplete, because both views are correct at the same time.

  • The iPhone 17 square selfie camera is a bigger deal than you think

  • This reads like an ad, with the romanticized stories.

    We take photos to preserve memories, but selfies feel distinctive for their intimacy.

    Feel distinctive; You sure it's not the wider view angle leading to morphed images?

  • The Job Market Is Hell: Young people are using ChatGPT to write their applications; HR is using AI to read them; no one is getting hired.

  • Is Bill Gates still important in the tech company space?

    I was under the impression that he was not active for over a decade. Having left Microsoft, and focusing on more humanitarian efforts. Does he have any influence, or does tech-company-space activity still?

  • They didn't really disclose much. “We saw suspicious activity” isn't saying much.

    This is big in terms of publicity. That may have even more value than the operative impact.

  • I recently watched a video where they tested if the replies were generic/context-generic or fed by their own comments.

    They replied to comments on their video with a fake ad. And sure enough, after a while, the AI suggested such replies.

    Here's the video

  • Is this summary helpful?

    When the summary is presented there, like that, of course, it seems helpful.

    I'm certain the majority of people will respond with "yes", without checking the user's post history to verify the summary. The responses will be biased, making the whole thing worse, and giving opportunity to disingenuous marketing and justification.

    We can only hope they interpret and use it for that: indicating usefulness, not correctness. Who knows what kind of metrics they use for correctness, if at all, and what type of faults they deem acceptable.

  • I'd need a banana for scale to see if this is huge or a macro photo of a small thing.

    uuh I guess this is a hypothetical of a possible utopian future rather than about current AI or based on current trends and implementations.

  • Looking for a PDF viewer with a specific feature

    Jump

  • Maybe I would

    1. Create a file called pdfs.html
    2. Add embedded PDFs
       html
          
<embed src="pdf1.pdf"></embed>
<embed src="pdf2.pdf"></embed>
<embed src="pdf3.pdf"></embed>
    3. Maybe give it a container div with display grid for min size and useful layout
    4. Open the HTML file in my webbrowser Firefox

    To generate the embed codes for every PDF file in a folder I would use my command line shell Nushell, which generates the embeds for all files for me.

     nu
        
ls *.pdf | each {|x| $'<embed src="($x.name)"></embed>'} | str join

  • I haven't heard or read any such thing, and the EU passed legislation regarding AI regulation. Which seems like the opposite of those claims.

    I really don't see how it's a dishonest question.
