Sony Will Use AI to Cut Film Costs, Says CEO Tony Vinciquerra

"“We are very focused on AI. The biggest problem with making films today is the expense,” Vinciquerra said at Sony’s Thursday (Friday in Japan) investor event. “We will be looking at ways to…produce both films for theaters and television in a more efficient way, using AI primarily.”"

Wow. So I expect the quality will go way down.

Wow! The Who to follow suggestions in the #Mastodon feed appear to be personalized 👀

When I click "see all" it takes me to a list of profiles. Above each profile it tells me why each one is being suggested.

The reasons: "Popular among people you follow", "Popular on mstdn.social", and "Similar to profiles you recently followed"

Interesting. 🤔

Why do I feel like we're making the same mistakes with bird flu that we did with covid?

Dismissing this case with "oh he had chronic conditions" is extremely dangerous. Not to mention the fact that there's a lot of people who have multiple underlying health conditions.

Still loving being on Flipboard. I feel like it works better for getting news than social media. 💯

According to DuckDuckGo’s new AI feature, I’m the CEO and founder of Anthropic, an AI startup. 😆

Per Wikipedia: “Anthropic was founded by former members of OpenAI, Daniela Amodei and Dario Amodei.” (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropic)

A social app for creatives, Cara grew from 40k to 650k users in a week because artists are fed up with Meta’s AI policies

"On Wednesday, Zhang opened her email to find a horrible shock: her bill for using Vercel, a web hosting company, would cost $96,280 for the last week."

Wow 😳 that's quite a bit... :blobcatmoney:

Uh oh...

WHO confirms first fatal human case of bird flu A(H5N2)

"This was the first laboratory-confirmed human case of infection with A(H5N2) subtype of bird flu reported globally and the first H5 virus infection in a person reported in Mexico."

"The victim had no history of exposure to poultry or other animals, WHO said."

How did they get infected then...?

I don't understand writing something using AI tools. For me writing is fun because of the entire process. From coming up with an idea to writing, rewriting, and editing it. AI takes the fun out of creativity.

In the mood for some fiction. Nonfiction has been too depressing lately for me to read. There's enough depressing things going on in the world right now, I don't need to add to it by reading about history and politics. 😆

It’s 2024. Elon Musk Rules X. And the Political World Is Still Addicted.

"Two years after words like Mastodon, BlueSky, Post and Threads became rallying cries and users declared war on the blue check, those who made Twitter what it was in the days before Musk have returned to using X."

"Last year, Democratic candidates spent more than a million bucks on Twitter ads, The Washington Post reported."

So I know in this post I was joking about going back to using encyclopedias and dictionaries instead of search engines...but now I'm starting to consider it seriously. 😅

Google is getting worse by the day and AI is ruining everything.

I uninstalled the #Spotify #app today after attempting to use it. My reasons for uninstalling: First I got a message that I have to upgrade if I want to play songs in any order. Uh, no thanks. Second reason: I skipped a song and it told me I only have 6 song skips per hour. What the hell? Due to it being unusable I uninstalled it. I'm not paying $50 a month or whatever new price Spotify has for Premium. Luckily I have #Bandcamp which is a much better app.

"The buy now pay later company has also cut external marketing agency expenses by 25% and "removed the need for stock imagery" by instead using AI image generators like Midjourney, OpenAI's DALL-E, and Adobe's Firefly, Siemiatkowski added.""

"Other commenters remarked that the AI-generated images looked bad in their opinion, with one saying they "looked like shit.""

I'm soooooo sick of AI. I'm going to go live off grid in a cabin with zero technology. I won't have computers, phones, cell service, or internet. Just good old fashioned living. 😆
