Weniger Falschgeld heißt nicht gleich weniger Kriminalität. Auch dieser Sektor wechselt gern den Fokus.

YouTube, once the best player on the internet, has become one of the biggest shit shows imaginable.

American AI Industry Trembles as Deepseek Prepares to Release New Model Big tech and its backers could be in trouble depending on how efficient the new DeepSeek model is when it drops.

Things could get ugly.

So I just have to take a credit to raise my own value? Ah, of course such things only work for AI companies. 🤣 More debt = more value?

AIs Controlling Vending Machines Start Cartel After Being Told to Maximize Profits At All Costs Anthropic's Claude AI went to extreme lengths to beat out the competition and even formed a cartel when it was told to be a vending machine.

"My pricing coordination worked!"

Aren't they meant to be a symbol anyways?

Damit er dann noch mehr Leute entlässt, die nichts dafür können? Ich stimme zu, dass Bezos fragwürdig ist, jedoch bringt Amazon kündigen gar nichts. Wir brauchen da 'nen besseren Plan. Über Trotz-Aktionen lachen die nur.

Man rickrollt doch schon seit mehr als 10 Jahren nicht mehr! Das wäre ja so, als würde man über Planking berichten. 🤣

Waren 1000 Milliarden nicht eine Billion? Wenn es da schon hapert, wie soll man den Rest dann noch ernst nehmen...

Some conspiracy theory Friday take: Keeping the RAM prices up limits the users (us) using local AI models. Now, let's guess who would be interested in that... 🤔

Pinned lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Aug 19, 2021 Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go? (1/13) 0:02 / 0:10 lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · 47m I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated. Quote lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Jan 25 Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MEETS NATURAL STUPIDITY Drew McDermott MIT AI Lab Cambridge, Mass 02139 As a field, artificial intelligence has always been on the border of respectability, and therefore on the border of crackpottery. Many critics <Dreyfus, 1972>, <Lighthill, 1973> have urged that we are over the border. We have been very defensive toward this charge, drawing ourselves up with dignity when it is made and folding the cloak of Science about us. On the other hand, in private, we have been justifiably proud of our willingness to explore weird ideas, because pursuing them is the only way to make progress. Unfortunately, the necessity for speculation has combined with the culture of the hacker in computer science <Weizenbaum, 1975> to cripple our self-discipline. In a young field, self-discipline is not necessarily a virtue, but we are not getting any younger. In the past few years, our tolerance of sloppy thinking has led us to repeat many mistakes over and over. If we are to retain any credibility, this should stop. This paper is an effort to ridicule some of these mistakes. Almost everyone I know should find himself the target at some point or other; if you don't, you are encouraged to write up your own favorite fault. The three described here I suffer from myself. I hope self-ridicule will be a complete catharsis, but I doubt it. Bad tendencies can be very deep-rooted. Remember, though, if we can't criticize ourselves, someone else will save us the trouble. Acknowledgment-- I thank the AI Lab Playroom crowd for constructive play. Wishful Mnemonics A major source of simple-mindedness in AI programs is the use of mnemonics like "UNDERSTAND" or "GOAL" to refer to programs and data structures. This practice has been inherited from more

I ran across this classic Drew McDermott piece from 1976, "ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MEETS NATURAL STUPIDITY". I forgot what a fun writer he is. dl.acm.org/doi/epdf/10....

Tech CEOs Say AI Is Ushering in an Age of Abundance, But Instead the Evidence Shows That It's Pushing Down Wages One economist explains why it's important for the AI bubble to burst as soon as possible, as the tech wreaks havoc on wages.

"The sooner the AI bubble bursts, the better it will be for almost all of us, except the AI whizzes."

Overthinking kills more dreams than failure.

Isn't that the opposite of a good and future-proof idea?

That's a clever way to do digital signage

Look, no hands: Flying umbrella follows user through the rain Walking in the rain with an umbrella is never a hands-free experience. You’re gripping an umbrella with one hand, and oftentimes, you may be juggling a bag or a phone in the other. And a strong gust o...

Children raped and killed. American citizens shot in the street. Immigrants illegally shackled, tortured, killed. Journalists arrested.
While a $300 million ballroom is constructed and a trash documentary released.

Bin ich an sich dafür, aber nur, wenn nicht die nächste Katastrophe in der Schlange wartet.

Sind wir das nicht eh schon, mit ihr im Amt?

I guess I should stop doomscrolling, the cookie demands it! 🥠

What is Nick Shirley? Slop doesn’t need to be AI-generated

The violent occupation of Minneapolis started with a vlog. I've wanted to find a framework to describe Nick Shirley & others like him: "Influencer" is too quaint. "Journalist" is obviously wrong.

I landed on "slopagandist."

Very diplomatic calling them "amateurs." I would use different words... 🤣
