For two consecutive quarters, generative #AI dealmaking at the earliest stages has declined, dropping 76% from its peak in Q3 2023 as wary investors sit back and reassess following the initial flurry of capital into the space.
Okay, now this is important. Drop everything you're doing, because Tom7 has released a new video. And oh boy, is it wonderful. 20 minutes won't save your life - and this video demands you sacrifice that time. Now!
An artist-run, anti-AI social platform called Cara has grown from 40,000 to 650,000 users in just a week, as artists leave Instagram in their thousands to protest against Meta’s AI policies.
Artists aren’t happy that the social media giant is using public posts on its platforms to train its generative AI systems, with no way to opt out for U.S. users. Meta’s loss is Cara’s gain, but such a jump in users hasn’t come without its challenges. @TechCrunch has more.
@itsfoss It's funny when you realize Vocaloids already exist and do it better. But a lot of the stuff this produces would be great for banshees or something in games I guess.
Well, ok, since we're talking open source it would be more like OpenUTAU.
Bon ça devait être les données de 1920. De nos jours au niveau pédigrée y’a Bardella, le bâtard qui fait le dobermann à la TV Française.
S’il y a un truc auquel je m’habitue pas c’est les immigrés racistes. Ça me fait me demander si les immigrés sont pas un peu cons. Du coup ça ferait de moi un raciste et donc un con et j’aime pas ça.
J’avais des cousins en Suisse qui étaient racistes (contre les autres) déjà avant d’apprendre la langue correctement. Intégration parfaite 🙄
Republicans must be voted out bc #antitrust enforcement is key to a fairer future:
The top antitrust enforcer will look “with urgency” at the #AI sector, following concerns that power over the transformative #tech is being concentrated among a few deep-pocketed players.

The FTC is investigating whether Microsoft structured one of its latest deals with an #AI startup to avoid a government antitrust review of the transaction.
Next week #WWDC predictions? #AI wise easy: Nothing that's going to match or top Google, Microsoft. #Apple will focus on iterations and practical ways intelligence is incorporated into the OS.
This will extract a cry of "Apple is behind on AI". Which they are. But not worried. They'e always been fast followers.
If they don't blindly introduce a "Recall" or something that says we can put glue on our pizza, then that's a win.
When it comes to my phone improve what I regularly use. </$0.02>
@ChaosHof Wobei die Existenz von solchen Labeln nicht impliziert, dass die Allgemeinheit das auch wirklich als positiv wahrnimmt. Um das geht's mir eigentlich.
@kellogh Yep, #recall is one of those bad names, that makes you wonder what else was on the shortlist in the meeting.
"Right team, here are the options from the focus groups, it should be MS...
I-Spy
Peeping Clippy
Privacy Nightmare
Torment Nexus...Ahem, sorry, no, but Torment Nexus is already taken for that, you know, 'other', project...
@ai6yr
Turn down the bass setting for the audio system, that should do it, no need to refill the blinker reservoir it refills itself from the headlight reservoir.
@FlockOfCats Every good movie needs a good Muppets version, but even a bad movie would be fun to watch with a good Muppets version that makes fun of the poor quality of the movie.
I am less and less scared AI "will become smarter than humans" and more and more afraid someone will opt to put an incompetent and hallucinating AI in charge of something it really shouldn't, like self flying planes or trains or healthcare.
Our sushi isn’t always bad just sometimes. Next week we get distributor 2.0 with more & better fish so it will be amazing. It will be so good you can’t imagine eating other food. But…we need special rules to help us make the most perfect sushi & we totally shouldn’t get in trouble for food poisoning if it happens. Also we may take fish we didn’t pay for, but that’s ok because our sushi will be amazing! You will eat our sushi. All food is soon sushi.
Mourners can now speak to an #AI version of the dead. But will that help with grief? Selina Sykes reports. FRANCE24's Monte Francis speaks to Tomasz Hollanek, Research Fellow at the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence, University of Cambridge about the benefits, risks and future developments of AI clones. #death#bereavement#mentalhealth#tech
Is anyone playing with NPU's for local #AI ... stuff? I can't call it programming, that feels wrong.
So what do you think of this toy made for RaspberryPi5? It's an AI accelerator that's about 4x slower than AMD Ryzen NPU's, but as usual with RPi it's an affordable starting point if you wish to fool-around with local AI models.
@solarisfire ah, I see. Maybe desktop APU’s will get it, but OK I will upgrade my GPU some day for sure. Right now there is no need, it’s plenty fast for my games.
Niedługo zamiast rozpoznawać schody i przejścia dla pieszych, będziemy oceniać na ile cytat z sieci jest trollingiem, żartem a na ile prawdziwą informacją.
