A woman attempted to commit suicide due to being trolled on social media. Trolling is dangerous nowadays, it spreads hearted and take lives of innocent people!
The Kilpauk police on Tuesday arrested three YouTubers, including a woman anchor, on charges of driving a 23-year-old woman to attempt ending her life after they posted an interview of her without her consent.
Quelle surprise. But what's worrying is how apparently 'tech 'n meeja' savvy young people are so easily taken in by propaganda - err, I mean 'hype and marketing'.
"...Very few people are regularly using "much hyped" artificial intelligence (AI) products like ChatGPT, a survey suggests...
"...But the study... says young people are bucking the trend, with 18 to 24-year-olds the most eager adopters of the tech..."
Israeli deadly #robots; The new weapon of the regime in the Gaza war
During the genocidal war and non-stop aggressive attacks against the Gaza strip, the IDF soldiers use remote-controlled robots that are used to perform various military missions such as reconnaissance, imaging, search and explosion.
During the recent attacks on the #Jabalia camp, the IDF widely used explosive robots; Especially in places where it was not possible to enter due to the intensity of the resistance.
@rivas the right wing/fascist government of Sweden, just signed a multi million dollar deal with Israel of weapons "that were shown to be efficient in battle" (read murdering innocent people in Gaza.
I am so disgusted by how ridiculous the current Swedish coalition government is that I just can't explain it.
@metin That's interesting because in my circle (tech-savvy nerds and researchers) a lot of people use and recommend the use of ChatGPT. For example, the tutor of a scientific containerization course I attended last week used ChatGPT extensively to solve some very specific problems. Of course, you could get the same results using search engines, but an AI is much faster in these cases and can at least point you in the right direction.
@daniel Yes, I think it's a matter of time before AI will be widely used. Personally, I barely use ChatGPT, because I don't trust the output yet, due to the hallucinations. I'm waiting until that has been solved. But I know that it's already usable for exact purposes like coding.
65% of vision impaired people are over 50 years of age, despite making up only 20% of the world's population.
Accessible technology benefits everyone. As we age vision impairment becomes more likely. NVDA's free and open-source technology ensures no one is unfairly disadvantaged because of their vision.

"In 2018...the 5bn YouTube hits for the viral song Despacito used the same amount of energy it would take to heat 40,000 US homes annually.
This is a hugely environmentally destructive side to the tech industry. While it has played a big role in reaching net zero, giving us smart meters and efficient solar, it’s critical that we turn the spotlight on its environmental footprint"

Today I spent several hours trying to help a friend think up ways to take control of the messaging for his dance organization. It's more or less just him running it at the moment but it's on the order of 100 people who are interested and sometimes come to his dance events. Right now it's communicating mostly through Facebook and Instagram. We talked about ways to make a website, forum, blog, sell subscriptions, calendaring 1/
It quickly became obvious how much "enclosure" there is in tech. You can't even add a webcal .ics file to your android calendar! (Not directly, requires login to desktop Google calendar). And you can't export a Google calendar as an ics! (At all). In any case lots of companies want to be the middleman in your business eventually taking a huge chunk of revenues for what is essentially a trivial service.
Anyone have thoughts about what kind of tech stack could help run a sort of club/business that has regular and special events, needs a public calendar, list of members, reserve spots in limited classes, take credit cards for tickets/door fees, post pictures and let people talk about the events, maybe have discussions about lessons or techniques or videos or music playlists or whatever other dance related stuff people might want to talk about... Probably other stuff we would need.
"Centuries before audio deepfakes and text-to-speech software, inventors in the eighteenth century constructed androids with swelling lungs, flexible lips, and moving tongues to simulate human speech."
"Thomas S. Mullaney’s new book, The Chinese Computer: A Global History of the Information Age, published by the MIT Press, unearths the forgotten history of Chinese input in the 20th century. In this article, which was adapted from an excerpt of the book, he details the varied Chinese input systems of the 1960s and ’70s that renounced QWERTY altogether."
This is super interesting. It's just a conversation with a research about a study on LLM #AI actual potential. It's only a 13min video, but basically the study shows that most likely AI can't have infinite growth because there is a limited amount of data available to train on.
There's a finite amount of data & no matter how they mathed it out, it's not a J-curve or linear growth of AI's capabilities, but an S-curve every time.
