  • No, you don't need a 'very bespoke AOSP' to turn your phone into a Rabbit R1 — here's proof

    Jump

  • Which is exactly like the "camera collabs" that phone makers sometimes do that end up being nothing more than marketing gimmicks.

    Like the OnePlus camera "by Hasselblad" that is quality wise the same as any other smartphone camera in that price category.

  • Instagram Advertises Nonconsensual AI Nude Apps

  • Shouldn't AI be good at detecting and flagging ads like these?

  • Saudis Scale Back Ambition for $1.5 Trillion Desert Project Neom

  • Sounds like this was the strategy from the very beginning - get tons of attention with crazy unrealistic announcements, then later turn it into a boring old regular city after everyone already recognizes the name.

  • The Hated One - "Ai Will Wage Wars Over Water"

  • With enough technological advances, they might be able to just switch to salt water.

    It's silly to imagine all these "way out there" scenarios without also imagining progress in other areas.

  • What Neuralink is missing (it turns out that connecting brains with computers is the easy part)

    Jump

  • Pretty sure these things need to be certified and there are laws about what parts you are and are not allowed to use.

    Not saying highly regulated industries don't ever have problems (look at Boeing), but it's not like they can just arbitrarily decide to cut costs wherever.

  • There are many different types of capacitors, most of which don't contain any liquid at all (including the most common type - ceramic capacitors).

    But in general, you would use specially rated components and materials if you need them to last decades - not the cheapest most basic parts you can find.

    Other types of implanted devices have dealt with the same things decades ago.

  • Disney to implement measures limiting password sharing on streaming services from June

    Jump

  • Some already give you a 30% "discount" (i.e. the regular price is just higher) if you sign up for an entire year.

  • OpenAI transcribed over a million hours of YouTube videos to train GPT-4

    Jump

  • It does - it's also mentioned in the article.

  • OpenAI Adds Free Instant ChatGPT Access for Everyone. Here's Why That Matters

    Jump

  • I gave GPT-4 a simple real-world question about how much alcohol volume there is in a certain weight (I think 16 grams) of a 40% ABV drink (the rest being water) and it gave complete nonsense answers on some attempts, and straight up refused to answer on others.

    So I guess it still comes down to how often things appear in the training data.

    (the real answer is roughly 6.99ml, weighing about 5.52grams)

    After some follow-up prodding, it realized it's wrong and eventually provided a different answer (6.74ml), which was also wrong. With more follow-ups or additional prompting tricks, it might eventually get there, but someone would have to first tell it that it's wrong.

  • Smart devices are turning out to be a poor investment

  • The battery life of a typical switch can easily be like 5 years though.

  • Redditors Vent and Complain When People Mock Their "AI Art"

    Jump

  • As someone has to mention and program those robots.

    Why couldn't an AI do that?

    Someone has to create programs and games, someone has to maintain the infrastructure.

    Same question.

    Youtube videos and streaming became a job.

    This will only work because of the parasocial aspect, and there will probably be strong competition from AI there too.

    For every thing you imagine, simply ask yourself - will AI be able to do it better?

    So far I haven't heard anything convincing where the answer would be "no".

    This whole "giving inputs" argument is 100% leaning on today's technological limitations.

    With enough advancements, no input you could ever come up with will be able to compete with the automated ones - even if they are working from some very high level goal, like "make something people want" (to give a slightly exaggerated example).

    Nobody's going to pay you to utter the phrase "make something people want" (and it's not competitive as a business either).

  • You are assuming that progress in AI capabilities will stall somewhere close to its present day state. Because today, a professional-made poster will still be better than one you can make yourself. But that won't be the case forever.

    This is more akin to how there used to be elevator operators vs. people just pressing a button themselves, or how people couldn't easily book their own airline tickets without going through a travel agent, and now they just order them through a website.

  • That will not be a marketable skill, if the intended "customer", who just wants the end product, can do all of that themselves.

    There are already improvements being made in understanding the intent better, which will eventually render all "prompt engineering" unnecessary and obsolete.

    The necessity to tweak prompts will be a very short-lived thing from these early days. At best it will give you an extra year or so.

    Similarly if you picture yourself as an owner of a company - you cannot sell something to people that they can just make themselves with zero effort required. Especially in an environment with a million competitors. At best your moat could be the network effects of a large user base, but that's not an easy place to get to.

  • I try to learn how to use AI

    And exactly which part of this process could not be done by AI too?

    Which part will still require hiring a human?

  • Universities Have a Computer-Science Problem

  • If that's the case, they need to stop with the deceptive marketing. Because they are absolutely outwardly promising career opportunities.

  • Experimental Video Game Made Purely With AI Failed Because Tech Was 'Unable to Replace Talent'

    Jump

  • Until what? 100% replacement of human-driven cars? Being rolled out for areas covering 50% of the population? Where is the goal line here?

    We are already at the stage of commercial operation, with rides available to the general public - even though only in a few locations.

    Sure, it's far from being everywhere, but why pretend that progress has stalled, when it clearly hasn't?

  • Yes actually (except more than a few years).

    Waymo is already operating a robotaxi service in 3 cities, now they just need to expand and find a way to make it not lose money.

  • Pornhub shuts down in Texas... and predictably, VPNs benefit

    Jump

  • The right way to implement this is where they don't even have any persistent identifier that could be used for tracking. They should only ever see a derived single-use signature that after verification gives them a yes/no answer and nothing more.
