Kenobi could just be a common name, like looking for a John Smith. Also, with multiple planets full of people, there could be thousands of ‘Kenobi,’ even if the name is not common.

Sounds like Inception.
Oh yes, Inception would be a great Muppet film: at every level they go deeper, it switches between real humans and Muppets.

News@lemmy.world•Neuroscientist warns Gen Z first generation less cognitively capable than their parents
522·5 days agoThat poor child in the stock photo getting shown for an article on how children are getting dumber…
That being said, the reason why children are getting ‘dumber’ is probably because a) education is getting less money every year b) social media is destroying their attention span c) intelligence isn’t valued enough by society
At no point is getting a notebook part of the problem. Young people need to learn how to use technology.

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft admits Windows 11 has a GDID tracker with no off switch, first documented publicly in an FBI hacker complaintEnglish
31·5 days agoThen why haven’t we heard about all the criminals (pedophiles, terrorists,…) being caught by Microsoft surveillance? Because they don’t care about the crimes you do. Their tracking is for money making only.
If I were a criminal I would not bank on it - they might use it for blackmail, too - but for the most part they are not in danger.
Let me try: Three capitalists enter a bar. The first one pays for his drink and doesn’t tip, leaving the bartender with less than minimum wage for the transaction.
The second capitalist leaves without paying since his wealth is in stocks and he can’t be asked to pay for anything.
The third capitalist says: “I just bought the bar, fired half the staff, and sold off most of the furniture. Your bar is now very profitable, and I just sold it for double. Try not to declare bankruptcy before I leave - it bums me out.”
Isn’t ChatGPT the sycophantic one? Especially the older models were horrible.

Technology@lemmy.world•Apple Sues OpenAI, Accusing It of Stealing Company Secrets [🎁 nytimes gift link]English
5·7 days agoThat sounds serious, but I wonder what it is that OpenAI wants from Apple? Currently they are mostly on the software side and Apple’s secrets more on the hardware side.
Is it for the rumored physical AI thing they wanted to build?
No, they are probably just building data centers to replace any non-physical labor with AI. And hope to be able to do that in the future for physical labor with robots: To create a permanent underclass of unemployed people and the 1% living like gods.
Not really better but that’s what it looks like to me.
You would love my backyard. I’m lazy af.
I would be less concerned (still not buying it, but…) if pedophiles we already know about were prosecuted. How about putting them in jail before looking for more ways to protect children? What about the rest of Epsteins pedo ring? Are we supposed to think that was just the work of two people?
I’m all for protecting children, but we could do so much more even without sacrificing privacy.

Technology@lemmy.world•Execs Confused and Horrified by the Huge AI Bills After Thinking They Could Replace Workers for FreeEnglish
2·10 days agoHave you heard about “Tokenmaxxing”?
Since many AI companies didn’t have a reasonable limit on the number of tokens for the amount of money you paid, companies started telling their employees to use as many tokens as possible. LLMs improve with more tokens (although there are diminishing returns).
So users tried to exploit the ‘lure offer’, and AI companies had to change the billing. It’s still below the real cost, but no longer this insanely expensive option.
Well, if we had risen up against the rich, instead of letting them rule the world at least the last image would have been avoided.

Why not ask for permission before you try to create it? It’s one of the few corporations where you can simply write a email to the CEO. Going ahead without permission is really shady.
Jewish Space Lasers? Marjorie Taylor Greene was right??? Although a bit early.







Why do I have the feeling that he will introduce himself as ‘Linux’?
