  • Microsoft warns deepfake election subversion is disturbingly easy

    Jump

  • Everyone is. As time and tech progresses, you're going to find that it becomes increasingly difficult to avoid without going off-grid entirely.

    Do you really think corps aren't going to replace humans with AI, any later than they can profit by doing so? That states aren't going eventually to do the same?

  • Interesting take, addiction to the convenience provided by AI driving the need to get more. I suppose at the end of the day it's probably the same brain chemistry involved. I think that's what you're getting at?

    I'm any case, this tech is only going to get better, and more commonplace. Take it, or run for the hills.

  • The best solution to any problem is to go back in time to before the problem was created, sure. That cat's so far out of the bag, and it's only going to multiply and evolve.

  • For Data-Guzzling AI Companies, the Internet Is Too Small

    Jump

  • Mhm, I wonder when we'll have the resources to build one that can tell the truth from other lies. I suppose you have to learn to crawl before you learn to walk, but these things still having trouble rolling over.

  • Everything's a competition for company profits.

  • Idk, I find this hard to believe. I would think the challenge is more access to the information (gates, bandwidth), a speedy vault to store that information, and improving their models.

    When you think about what's available on the internet, how much of human knowledge and propaganda is out there. With enough/deus ex tech, there's no way ai shouldn't be able to learn most of anything with the knowledge available, and the right trainers.

  • Dislike Copilot's responses? Make better prompts, says Microsoft

    Jump

  • That's not how this is supposed to work. Most humans don't think like machines, and many are never going to. It's the job of your "ai" to work out what its human is telling it.

  • I think I got mine via some kind of lottery system back in the day. I used to be a big fan of Google back in those times. Was amazing to have 1000mb.

  • OpenAI Unveils A.I. Technology That Recreates Human Voices

  • As someone suffering from sciatica as a result of desk time, I feel this. This is why I consider the monetary system as it is abused and designed currently to be a cleverly masked slave system.

    When the ruling class are able to dictate both how much money you get, how much you can buy with money, how can you even place a value on it. Shit's worthless. We've seen it become worthless overnight. I can't eat it, I can't shelter in it, I can't drink it. In my country, it's plastic, so I can only sympathise with the ecosystem we've been so careless of.. Not even burn it.

    This is something I realised young, when my parents and grandparents described how much return they got for their time. It's even more evident across my lifetime.

  • I'm pretty much with you all the way. My take is that capitalism, corrupted by the ruling class is hardly distinguishable from indentured servitude at this point.

    It's just that our collars/shackles are invisible, we are given the illusion of freedom, and our pain is more psychological than physical.

  • Backdoor found in widely used Linux utility breaks encrypted SSH connections

  • Yeah I nearly panicked for a second there, then I remember noone's getting near that anyway. Back to my relaxing weekend.

    AI hustlers stole women’s faces to put in ads. The law can’t help them.

    Jump

  • Which is interesting in itself, what if AI by chance produces a likeness of you, unintentionally. Is there an AI that has a database of all of us to know that? I'm sure they're trying, for whatever reason.

    Now, if you're someone famous, like a pop star or president, chances are there are a lot more images of you in those databases, which could also skew the resulting images.

    So I guess, what we really need is some way to trust the image, otherwise ... I really don't know how this can be avoided, maybe a smarter entity does.

  • Software Vendors Dump Open Source, Go For the Cash Grab

    Jump

  • I think both are true, it really depends on the business, and the mentality of the exec. It is extremely difficult to get software approved in my environment if it doesn't come with some kind of vendor support.

    Basically they want assurance that if something breaks, they can get someone to fix it if necessary.

    Personally, I don't think this is the best approach. Vendor support is often underwhelming, and it is not forever. The longer you want it, the more it will cost you to keep it. By the time they cash out, you're so invested the cost to change is prohibitive.

    My biggest gripe with closed source software, is the pissweak amount of peer review it gets, and it shows repeatedly. It's disturbing that we use things as important as operating systems and security products that only get scrutinised by a small number of people. People who probably all have similar methodologies and tools at their disposal. So, you forever see CVEs because they miss simple things. We've actually had a vendor (who we spend millions on yearly) tell us they wouldn't fix a 9.9 because they were planning to discontinue the product, and sign a nda.

    I would love to convince my org to refit to oss, but it would be an enormous investment just to transition, and honestly.. With the stuff we're seeing on the horizon of tech, I'm expecting some wild shifts in the way we do things in a similar 10 year timeline. It's been nice working with x86 since 8086, but it's time.

  • Yeah much closer to the /. I remember, just needs to cull the front page article texts to a few lines - too much scrolling.

  • TIL: You can enter into Immersive Reader mode in (Microsoft) Edge to reduce the number of things and CSS displayed on the screen. Great for when you need to study.

  • Yarly, I can only use edge inside the work environment and I was missing this functionality from Firefox. Thanks, OP. e: autocorrect.

  • Exclusive: US lawmaker seeks answers on FDA inspection of Musk's Neuralink

    Jump

  • You're not wrong in any way, they definitely do need more funding. No matter how much you throw at it, the enormity of the task of making sure everything that wants to come to market is safe for humans.. I can't imagine how humans can even keep up.

    Sure, the risks associated with brain implants are high, but it's something you (hopefully) very consciously have to agree to. It's more value to test some artificial sweetener to make sure it doesn't give us diabetes.

  • Elon Musk wants to merge humans with AI. How many brains will be damaged along the way?

    Jump

  • Hopefully the people elon's persuading to do this work are better aligned.

  • Humanity will shrink in the future: 97% of countries will experience negative growth by 2100

  • Let's not forget water.. And eventually, oxygen.. But keep buying/selling those trinkets people, for the economy.

    And well, how much of these resource estimates leave enough for other life too, or does all other life just exist to feed us?..

  • Oh absolutely, people gonna keep being people. The truth seems to be that we don't really know, but it's likely somewhere between 4 and 16 from the little bit of reading up I just did.
