Technology@lemmy.world•Tesla on Autopilot Smashes Straight Through Garage Door, Driver SaysEnglish
9·19 hours agoIt’s a sensor relying on image recognition, which is only as reliable as the image recognition software. The more clever software tries to be, the more potential failure states that exist.
An incredibly bad company. As impressive as low earth orbit satellite internet is, it’s impractical to keep launching so many satellites every five years just to provide internet inferior to wired in all but niche cases. This is their strongest commercial case.
The company benefits greatly from government contracts paid out instead of properly supporting NASA. NASA could’ve been tasked with developing reusable rockets, but it is intentionally hobbled for political purposes.
Even with things working in SpaceX’s favor, it gets saddled with the neutron star known as xAI under twitter/x, competely outweighing any possible profit by far.
Apparently investors also separate money from money because tesla’s valuation makes absolutely no sense from a money perspective either with a PE ratio of over 300.
What you’re describing aren’t investors, but gamblers benefiting from a rigged market.

3·4 days agoI tried scanning one of those digital coupon things they print on paper and the employee was called over three times in that one transaction.
Absolutely. I have to have regular conversations with my manager about career progression because in the surveys they highly encourage people to take, people said they felt stagnant in their careers. Well now we have to pretend to have a productive conversation on career progression while the stagnation remains, but managers have to come up with an excuse why so-and-so didn’t get a promotion during performance review time (usually it’s “you’re so close, but we’re looking for more X” where X can change to whatever is convenient to deny a promotion).
On top of that, they now ask us how we use AI in our daily work because they’re desperate for “AI wins”.

Technology@lemmy.world•the latest Shai Hulud malware contains an LLM prompt to create biological weapons and nuclear weapons, with the purpose to trip LLM safety refusals so that LLM-based code scanning wont see the malwareEnglish
9·6 days agoThey can be trained to understand the distinction.
No it can’t because of how LLMs work. All “safety” built on top of models now are just band-aids and bubble gum stuck in strategic areas hoping that cases get caught.

I also yearn to catch some sun when I’m stuck working.
It’s simply a matter of what genes get passed on. That still applies even with gene editing.
Reminds me of those people claiming they’re “10x more productive” and “doing the work of entire teams”. With so much increased productivity, I would assume these results would be plainly visible through rapidly improving featureful applications, but instead we see declining quality in established software (e.g. windows 11) and a whole lot of garbage nobody wants to deal with like slop PR spam and these app releases.

Technology@lemmy.world•A Farmer Donated Land to Turn into a Park. The City Is Building a Massive Data Center InsteadEnglish
1·6 days agoThere are multiple goals in mind such as surveillance, pumping the stock market, taking control out of people’s hands, excuses to do things like lay people off, etc. In this case or in general for local governments, it’s a matter of a select number of people getting a lot of money in their pockets and thus pushing for these data centers to happen.

Debt isn’t a problem until it suddenly is. That inflation you’re brushing off can get worse, eventually to the point where they’re printing money just to stay afloat. We’re already at the point where $1 trillion goes to just paying the interest on the debt each year.
