RIP Metaverse
An obituary for the latest fad to join the tech graveyard
https://www.businessinsider.com/metaverse-dead-obituary-facebook-mark-zuckerberg-tech-fad-ai-chatgpt-2023-5

> Zuckerberg declared in a March update that Meta's "single largest investment is advancing AI and building it into every one of our products." Meta's chief technology officer, Andrew Bosworth, told CNBC in April that he, along with Mark Zuckerberg and the company's chief product officer, Chris Cox, were now spending most of their time on AI.

edendestroyer,

@Natanox @FediThing @rysiek @intelwire something just popped in my mind reading the morgan thing, about how billionaires dont bring #innovation forward, but rather force it down our throats.

    @vowe Es gibt Orte zwischen deutschen Universitäts-Großstädten, wo es auf der Hauptbahnstrecke kein funktionierendes Mobilfunknetz und kein WLAN im Zug gibt.

    Und dann schreibt die #FDP und ihr #Verkehrt-Minister #Wissing was zu digitaler #Innovation und so.

    Danke für Nichts, ihr #Autobahn-#Extremisten.

    :BoostOK: For an article, I am looking for both philosophers and neuroscientists to address the concept of #understanding. The overarching theme is human versus artificial intelligence and questions like what role does understanding play in intelligence, what does it even mean (definition? How can you measure it?) and whether it is something uniquely human. Or is the feeling of understanding maybe just an illusion and nothing more than dealing with information and correlations?

    A good question, but an anthropocentric one. To define smartness not Darwinistic could open up a whole new way of thinking and acting not ecocidal. Smartness as technological #innovation has brought us to where we stand facing a multiple disaster of a burning, war torn world suffering from depleting ressources and life diversity. Smart could mean minimizing anything that overstretches the never adapted problems of metabolic bodies and externalization of fire. #pyrocene

    Super excited to promote the #privacy champions at #RightsCon . All those privacy scholars and practitioners look great in those great big color glamour shots, and we're sure Costa Rica is beautiful this time of year!

    Big thanks to all the great, privacy-conscious sponsors for making all this possible!

    futureofprivacy,

    @aral @batalanto Oh just what is "privacywashing" anyway? Or " #privacy ?" These terms are contested, and difficult.

    Maybe we should give them all up. We think "data protection" applied to "personal information" is much more useful.

    With consent, we can support #innovation fueled by data without being hamstrung by vague, expansive worries about "privacy!"

    I dropped my @Fairphone, resulting in a flickering display and fingers not being recognized by the touchscreen any more.

    Thanks to the high level of repairability, I dismantled the screen, cleaned things a bit, put it back together and everything works again.

    No new display needed. No new phone needed. No need to go and ask a professional to repair it. No wait.

    This is the #innovation we need, saving #resources and creating happiness 🙂

    Do you want to take a random sample of your data in R?

    Here are some examples of how you can use sample():

    ✔ Generate a random permutation of the elements of a vector.
    ✔ Select a random subset of a dataset.
    ✔ Generate a random sample of data for testing purposes.
    ✔ Create a bootstrap sample.

    🚀 On Sunday, during my flight from NYC to Seattle, I developed an intriguing AI project in Python. Introducing rbot – a GPT-4 based chatbot that processes user prompts and custom conversation decorators, enabling more context-aware responses than out-of-the-box ChatGPT Plus with GPT-4.

    🧠 Custom conversation decorators help the chatbot understand the context, resulting in more accurate and relevant responses, surpassing the capabilities of standard GPT-4 implementations.

    rajivpant,

    🚀 I'm excited to share my latest blog post, "Introducing Rbot: A Personalized AI Assistant, Written by Rbot"! Check it out here: https://rajiv.com/blog/2023/05/08/introducing-rbot-a-personalized-ai-assistant-written-by-rbot/

    In this post, I detail my journey in creating Rbot, an AI-powered chatbot that serves as a personalized assistant. I've built Rbot using the GPT-4 model provided by OpenAI. It's designed to be an open-source project for others to adapt and create their own intelligent assistants. 🤖

    To get good outcomes, with #AI you have to provide a very precise, well-written ans detailed input of what you want. Garbage in, garbage out, they say.

    Maybe in this way we can finally learn to do the same with real people and designers.

    Alright, there is much #buzz over #AI in #edtech. While I embrace what #LLMs offer, why are so many people going mad over the topic? I mean, I'm not a grandmaster in the #education field (I've been doing it for 15 yrs "only") & am pro #innovation, but what's wrong with using less tech?

    Tech should be integrated to a degree & definitely taught about, but beyond that it will mostly get in the way. Effective #teaching has less to do with tech & all to do with #methodology.
