“I have seen the extremely restrictive off-boarding agreement that contains nondisclosure and non-disparagement provisions former OpenAI employees are subject to. It forbids them, for the rest of their lives, from criticizing their former employer.”
The #technology miracle of “#AI” is that the words generated actually form sequences which humans process as plausible formulations of sentences in language we know.
Try these Linux bash aliases for more efficient use of the command line
For those who don’t know, bash aliases allow you to create unique command shortcuts. So, a simple word can be used to run a more complex command which may have a lot of additional parameters, e.g. just type the word ‘update’ to execute an update com ...continues
The trash one is a little outdated and won't necessarily put the trashed file where the user's GUI file manager would put it.
gio trash FILE and kfmclient move FILE trash:/ are the compatible commands under GNOME and KDE respectively. Derivatives generally use one or the other.
Unfortunately, the KDE one is somewhat tricky to do with an alias, what with the parameter being in the middle. I am also unsure as to whether it has a force option. Web results are inconclusive and I'm on a GNOME derivative.
Am I the only one skeptical about modern developers focusing so much on making AI look and sound like humans? Is it god’s syndrome “create them to reflect their image” kind of thing? Because what I need from AI as an individual is do the mundane tasks and be recognizable. I don’t need it to be able to impersonate a virtual friend or anything.
@glukozavr Humans "care" only about "human-looking".
Make computer look like human - sells explode.
> I don’t need it to be able to impersonate a virtual friend or anything.
You dont, because you generation educated this way.
Next generation - educated to "normalize" AI-human-looking-computer, so they will be "fine" to be friend with AI, they will see no value in human friend when AI can do same and more.
@gerrymcgovern I deleted 79,125 'promotional' emails from my Gmail account yesterday.
Didn't think I really needed them.
Didn't think they were useful.
Why do I get so many of these completely useless messages?
Why is so much time and energy expended on these hopeless things that most people completely ignore?
And why should we keep storing them, year after year?
Dear tech blogs. Please stop.
These are massive trillion+ dollar megacorporations.
There’s no “war”, no need to choose sides. No flame wars to be had to take more of our money.
These are appliances to get stuff done or enjoy for fun.
Period.
Democratizing Data: How AI Analytics Empowers Every Stakeholder
The democratization of data through AI analytics represents a paradigm shift in how organizations access, analyze, and leverage data. By breaking down barriers to data access, empowering decision-makers, fostering collaboration, engaging stakeholders, and ensuring ethical use of data, AI analytics has the potential to transform organizations and drive innovation at scale.
“#OpenAI has presumably pivoted to new features precisely because they don’t know how to produce the kind of capability advance that the “exponential improvement” would have predicted”
@Jigsaw_You@garymarcus I found their latest version to be slightly worse on coding and reasoning-like (math etc.) tasks. But does it matter that it's not GPT 5.0? Does it prove they cannot make it any better?
IMO, not.
It's not that adding features inherently prevents working on a new version in parallel. Users don't care about "reaching AGI" but those new capabilities, which are pretty cool and not only sufficient but also a game-changer for many tasks (again, in my opinion).
If you design a system such that you cannot differentiate people from corporations and bots and that’s your defense for calling all of them “users”, you’ve designed a system that conflates people – who are mortal, have feelings, can feel pain and be hurt and who have human rights that must be protected – with the very entities that oftentimes exist to exploit them.
Design for people. Call them people. All else is secondary.
Microsoft shutting down a few studios today should be an eye opener for the people that are rooting for MS. It's a good reminder that it's NEVER a good thing when a massive company buys a smaller company.
Either that smaller company will slowly get worse or dissolve completely. There was a trend of people saying they should buy companies to save them and let them do their own thing, but thankfully I expect to see less of that now...
While we're on the topic I also want to remind people that this is why you shouldn't support Xbox Game Pass. The plan has always been to get as much people onboard as possible, then a long-term goal of getting people comfortable with not owning games (we're getting there with Games-as-a-service anyways), then the inevitable rug-pull where they raise prices and sabotage the service for profits.
@popcar2 Surely THIS overt ownwership erosion and enshittification project will not turn out to make my life worse, unlike all of the other projects exactly like it that have unfailingly made my life worse all of the time for years!
Is ProtonVPN & Mullvad affected by this attack? I use both of these services on daily basis. If they affected how can I mitigate this? #tech#privacy#linux#proton#mullvad
