  • Students Show Up to Graduation, Find Commencement Speaker Is an AI Robot

    Jump

  • but the aspect of it that is most AI-like is the chat which is from LLMs.

    It may have started 7 years ago, but it isn't a new or different technology than LLMs which are impressive but not actual thinking AI despite them presenting it that way and people interpreting it that way

  • Students Show Up to Graduation, Find Commencement Speaker Is an AI Robot

    Jump

  • I keep seeing clips of this one specific robot and it just seems like it's an LLM. The comments on the clips are always people seemingly really believing it's thinking and is alive.

    This robot makes me think there is a percentage of the population that believes we already have true general AI and I can see how people like that would think having it do a commencement speech was a good idea.

    The university probably got paid for this, right?

  • We have to stop ignoring AI’s hallucination problem

  • do you know what an analogy is??

  • do you mostly communicate with people in your company or do you talk with external people too?

    Don't get me wrong, I know teams has issues, I have my own list of complaints, I'm just surprised how different your complaints are.

  • how often do you use teams? And do you usually have network issues? I have pretty stable Internet and don't run into any of these issues but I could see the occurring if teams doesn't have a stable connection.

    Teams opening files in teams is super annoying though.

  • Baybe what's wrong? You've barely touched your Strawberrum

  • doesn't it work literally by passing in everything it said to determine what the next word is?

  • Nearly all Nintendo 64 games can now be recompiled into native PC ports to add proper ray tracing, ultrawide, high FPS, and more

    Jump

  • that makes sense, it's like only really feasible now that we have enough decompiled, readable n64 games

  • a comment on that site really condescendingly claims this is how he would have handled it and that a script could be written in half a day to do the work.

    my understanding is that an emulator effectively recreates the hardware's different components in software so that from the game's "perspective" it's running on a real machine more or less.

    This process instead decompiles the game code and recompiles for a new target machine.

    I suspect one can't just pump out a script in an afternoon to do this, but I am curious what is the complexity here?

  • First human brain implant malfunctioned, Neuralink says

    Jump

  • I think the most famous one was the star wars jedi force trainer? Some people say it's fake but.. it's like a headset you put on that they claim reads your brain waves and it controls a little fan that switches on and off to make a ball in a tube float

  • After Buying Up Studios, Xbox Says It Doesn't Have The Resources To Run Them

    Jump

  • goldeneye 64 was pretty innovative even compared to its pc competition at the time. It suffered from performance issues, but the xbla remake or just good emulator settings fix that and really make it shine

  • Kristi Noem is a piece of shit.

  • Elizabeth Warren slammed for wanting to ‘break up Apple’s smartphone monopoly’

    Jump

  • I don't see how it's backwards, the word drives clicks and is commonly used. It's unfortunate but most journalism has to be profit-motivated to survive these days.

  • Elizabeth Warren slammed for wanting to ‘break up Apple’s smartphone monopoly’

    Jump

  • I kinda alluded to it but they probably don't want to ban the word because it's commonly used and it drives clicks.

  • Elizabeth Warren slammed for wanting to ‘break up Apple’s smartphone monopoly’

    Jump

  • yeah, unfortunately they need to make money to exist. And that creates all sorts of incentives that aren't great. I still like journalism and think it's an important part of a working society, but I decided pretty quickly after studying it that I didn't want to be part of it

  • Elizabeth Warren slammed for wanting to ‘break up Apple’s smartphone monopoly’

    Jump

  • I studied news journalism in college and they kinda hammered in that in news journalism it's more important to communicate information consistently and to target a wide audience than it is to make "good writing."

    There are style guides you have to follow and words like "slammed" end up getting used a lot despite not quite being accurate because they're words that are used a lot.

    The other thing is that usually the person writing the headlines isn't the journalist.. and sometimes they do a lot of versions of the same headline and when people click more because of the word slammed it ends up sticking.

  • Microsoft’s VASA-1 can deepfake a person with one photo and one audio track

    Jump

  • this is so dystopian. Imagine spending your career honing your skill as an actor, dying and then having a computer replace you with just a photograph as a source. How is that honoring an actor??

    An actual, practical example is generating video for VR chats like Apple has somewhat tried to do with their headset. Rather than using the cameras/sensors to generate and animate a 3d model based on you, it could do something more like this, albeit 2d.

  • Boston Dynamics introduces a fully electric humanoid robot that “exceeds human performance”

    Jump

  • the scientists build the robots. Society and its corruption will determine how they get used. I don't think it's a reason to not build robots or to say they're not worth making. At some point in the future, society may collectively improve and the robots will be there to use.

  • of all the things scientists do, making robots that can do dangerous or even tedious labor isn't that bad.
