Robot cars can be crashed with tinfoil and painted cardboard (www.theregister.com)

A team of researchers from prominent universities – including SUNY Buffalo, Iowa State, UNC Charlotte, and Purdue – were able to turn an autonomous vehicle (AV) operated on the open sourced Apollo driving platform from Chinese web giant Baidu into a deadly weapon by tricking its multi-sensor fusion system, and suggest the...

Awwww. Why did you have to break the circlejerk? People were enjoying it!

For me it’s absolutely the opposite. But hey, at least now we both have options.

BTW, since you watched the video might I ask you to take the time to check the paragraph above, and see if you spot any important details missing that are in the video?

Besides it’s usefulness as an adblocker, I like how it allows you to disable javascript for a site with just 2 clicks. Closing a newsletter popup works for a visit, but no javascript works forever.

Ai isn’t the bubble, that’ll keep on improving, although probably not at this rate.

The hype bubble is companies adding AI to their product where it offers very little, if any, added value, which is incredibly tedious.

The latter bubble can burst, and we’ll all be better for it. But generative AI isn’t going anywhere.

@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

That’s a good thing to put it in perspective, yeah. The amount of people who think AI is just a fad that will go away is staggering.

Stopthatgirl7 and inflammatory headlines, name a more iconic duo.

It’s not the script writer or the producer that’s complaining though. I think it’s more reasonable for them to want compensation.

@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

Not anything literally from the script, but I assume that’s where the concept of a voice controlled AI assistant came from - whoever holds the rights to that in relation to the title “Her”. So if it’s based on a novel or story, clearly the writer of that.

admin,
@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

I’m aware of that, but we seem to get get distracted from the main point. In the case of OpenAI versus “Her” (i.e. Them launching a similar product, and referencing the film), I think it’s the owners of the Her IP that should have a right to complain. Not an actress that was in it, and whose voice is similar to it. According to the article, there were 2 well-known actresses whose vice matched even better. Should they take action as well?

All of this is under the assumption that they didn’t actual train on her voice - which does seem likely.

I honestly don’t care who they play for, as long as it’s not at the cost of of any regular scheduled gig.

Huh? The argument was about open source LLMs being unethical, but your video is about Altman?

Estonia | The Digital State (youtu.be)

Most states rely on paper bureaucracy to ensure that the state can function and provide services. Paper bureaucracy has been part and parcel of how we maintain states and corporations since the Chinese invented the first paper bureaucracy systems of management 3000 years ago. But as you all probably know, bureaucracy kinda...

Regarding electronic voting, you can either have reliable and secure, or anonymous, but not both. Sounds like Estonia went for option 1.

Flashback to 2001 when someone with zero programming skills created a virus that shut down countless mailservers al over the world:

De Wit created Anna Kournikova in a matter of hours using a simple online Visual Basic Worm Generator program written by an Argentinian programmer called [K]Alamar. “The young man had downloaded a program on Sunday, February 11, from the Internet and later the same day, around 3:00 p.m., set the virus loose in a newsgroup.”

I’m more surprised they hadn’t yet, to be honest.

Over here regular banks have been doing that for years 😥

We should rather stop allowing sign ups without an application. The captchas are not good enough.

That’s near impossible to enforce, due to the federated nature. Server admins could whitelist which instances they trust, but I don’t think that’ll do much good from a community point of view.

Perhaps a sticky to find better moderator/timezone coverage could help. (And for that matter, I wouldn’t mind stricter moderation on post relevance - not all news about tech companies or events that just happen to take place online is tech news, imho)

admin,
@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

I’m no federation expert, but I think if you could convince your own instance admin, or the one hosting this community (lemmy.world), to do so, you’d be good. But that would potentially affect a lot more users than just the ones in this community, so they might take some effort.

Also, I’m not aware of any tools that could automate this for you.

admin,
@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

For that matter - I’m okay with filtering out people who think it’s too much effort. Quality over quantity.

For over 15 years, I oversaw the technical aspect of the biggest weblog in my country. I took great professional pride in making sure that every time we migrated to a new cms, links would keep on working, even when the external pages they linked to were since long dead.

A couple of years ago I left. Last year they changed cms once more. Now all the links are dead, and can best be found through through archive. The content was ported to the new cms, but the links weren’t. So even though the content is in the database, it’s just inaccessible by its old url.

Such a shame.

Since you really should be creating a backup of the data before doing such a conversion in the first place, the best (not necessarily the fastest, but definitely the safest) way would be to copy the data to another medium, and copy it back when the space has been formatted.

CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information (futurism.com)

In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won’t slide off (pssst…please don’t do this.)

If you need these kind of tips, on behalf of the gene pool, please don’t procreate, and eat as much glue as you can.
