Have you found any amazing uses for AI?

Good video, unfortunately for those who really should watch it, it will be too long :smiley:
I agreed with the guy when he said to those old enough that “this video is pretty unremarkable so far”. LOL.

I’m totally the old fashion person, using (and loving) the internet to do my researches. I don’t receive all these news-feeds at all. But I was alerted to their existence when I set up my PC to Linux this week-end and Firefox suddenly gave me pages and pages of crazy links (all with colourful thumbnails). I actually started to delete them - a hopeless task - when I remembered that all I have to do is set firefox to empty start-page and choose the standard search engine (nope, not google in my case).
I only know how Twitter looks like because people keep reposting it on here. Which is fine, it gives me just enough info on what people feed on without having to actually put up with it.

Call me a dinosaur but I do my research the way he looked for the capacitors for the old radio, I do bookmark websites (but I agree, I must clean the list up) and I do use subscriptions on youtube - got a max of 4-5 and hardly ever see them as I almost never bother to sign in when searching for something there).

This guy is definitely younger than me, all the nicer that there seems to be an occasional trend back to using this absolutely brilliant thing called internet to support one’s knowledge and own trains of thoughts.

““Under the new proposals, AI developers will be able to use creators’ content on the internet to help develop their models, unless the rights holders elect to “opt out”.””

This having to opt out explicitly is the new system to reverse human rights. You’re generally nobody anymore unless you claim to be.
Organ donation, copyrights of one’s work … what’s next? Homes and cars? If you don’t put a notarized opt-out sticker on the door someone else might live in it in when you come home the evening? Not to mention your kids, pets … will you have to tatoo the opt-out stamp on them or they will get adopted on the way to school and someone else will opt-out letting them go again?

What would the penalties be for ignoring a poor starving artist’s opt-out?

They probably didn’t bother to write up the laws for penalties yet.
But in this case the outcome would probably be the end of being poor and starving? All the more reason to opt out generally.

How would a mega-business even know a poor, starving artist has opted out?

well, they would have to check. And what a hassle this will be. So they probably won’t and there you go, the poor artist will eat again.
Actually for poor artists it could be a pretty cool solution. All they have to do is write one song/paint one picture etc, opt out generally and sit back and wait for it to be stolen.

This should be opt in, not opt out. Artists should have to decide to opt in to allow it, not have to opt out to stop them using their work.

yeah, well, that’s how it is now. And rightly so (with anything from organs to art to what ever else they plan)

They don’t care. If an artist wants to pay to take a megacorp to court, well, good luck!

Sesame unveiled a new voice chat model and Martin Shkreli unveiled his acting talents to convince it that it has been arrested!

More details emerge on how Huawei bought 2 million AI chips from TSMC via a paper company:

The more I learn about this AI shit the more it scares me and I dont mean in the irrational belief along with the one that if steam trains travel more than 30mph a women’s uterus would shoot out of their vaginas.
Everybody is rushing to get AI despite all warnings and fears that it will be disruptive and the first thing that we will do is to militerize it.
Are we really that stupid to create an intelligence that is way smarter than we are. Perhaps the terminator movies will turn out to be prophetic.

You can sleep in peace, there’s no intelligence in the current state of the technology, it’s just a statistical filtering and prediction

It can be used to decide who gets the next organ transplant.

@jaax you can also upload the updated engineer-cousin flat plan to get design tips. You will get the good, the bad and the ugly comments from ChatGPT…Help! Which apartment layout?

that jaax person never ever returned after the day they first posted.
Guess the whole thing was a “Jux” (a joke).

[Maybe this belongs here instead of the Negro Sweets thread that popped up when I searched for Alexa]

Be aware of Amazon Echo / Alexa.

I Wonder if the government can demand Access to the Voice files?
All in the Name of public safety and Security of course.

Of course they can. And apparently, in the UK, they dont even have to tell you they are asking.

I have Siri on my phone but have it set so I have to press the button to activate it.
