Der jüngste IEA-Bericht «Renewables 2023» zeigt ein spektakuläres Wachstum von 50 Prozent bei der Installation neuer erneuerbarer Stromerzeugungskapazitäten auf globaler Ebene, das heisst fast 507 Gigawatt (GW) im Jahr 2023. Auf Solarkraft fiel 375 GW und die Windkraft steuerte 108 GW bei, die restlichen 18 GW wurden mit...
Verrückt wie im Titel von den USA die Rede ist, sie aber gar nicht im Text vorkommen. Die haben doch zuletzt erst heftige Tarife gegen chinesische EVs, Solarzellen und Windkraftanlagen verhängt. Na ja und am Ende soll wieder “der Verbaucher” Schuld sein, als seien wir eine Schwarmintelligenz. Ziemlich lächerlicher Wisch.
I tried it when I used the gamepass trial and it simply doesn’t feel like Fallout to me. And sure the show helped a little but the numbers aren’t even that high and already dropping. With it’s disastrous release and old tech it will never be a big thing anyway.
Kind of a shame Bethesda slept on the show so hard they’re opting for a cheap and quick Fortnite collaboration now to make at least some money from the hype before the show concludes in a couple years. Because they won‘t have anything ready by then either.

So ähnlich haben die Nazis damals schon die Weimarer Republik abgeschafft. Mit Einschüchterung, Hetze und Fake news haben sie genug Zulauf bekommen, um die Demokratie auszuhebeln. Natürlich ließen sie wie die Nazis heute nichts unversucht, aber der „legale“ Weg war dann der Durchbruch. Dagegen haben wir heute ein paar feine Mechanismen, aber die müssen erst mal aktiviert werden.
Forget AI. Google just created a version of its search engine free of all the extra junk it has added over the past decade-plus. All you have to do is add “udm=14” to the search URL....
Most of the curation or fine tuning is done in low income African countries so this is little surprising. They‘re cheap labour but you can‘t expect them to reliably detect sarcasm or notice mistakes in specialized fields. They basically give a thumbs up whenever the AI sounds convincing. Of course that includes instances where it‘s confidently wrong and that appears to be most of the time with this model.
First I was surprised they rolled it out already, then of how bad it was. I knew of Google’s AI blunders from their faked reveals but I didn’t think they‘d actually roll them out in this state. They really just want to turn the internet into the next TV where you don‘t really get to choose when you get to see what exactly and they‘re willing to crash and burn themselves by doing so if they must. Insanity.
I guess they are leading in E-Mail? Whatever that is worth I am not sure. And Youtube is pretty much toe to toe with TikTok so they have that going for them which is nice. But yeah they’ve done a pretty bad job at making themselves indispensable. If anything they‘re looking far more dispensable than ever. Still huge, but their future is rather uncertain.
Can’t believe these asshats are still hiding their megalomaniac desire for power and control behind the well being of children. If we ever need perpetual surveillance it’s to keep scum like them in check.
That‘s the type of cockiness you‘d expect from scoundrels who just committed the biggest heist in history and got away with it. I‘m not surprised in the slightest.
I get that record sessions are a huge hassle and simply paying VAs per AI-generated voice line is easier for everyone, but it somehow makes Paradox look a little careless to me.
Stories like these also set a precident. This is what voice ‘acting’ will be like for a moment before it becomes effectively eliminated because voice libraries will become diverse enough quickly and there will be no need for a single more voice actor to be included. It seems like VAs are basically forced to sell their voice to AI companies quickly to at least make a quick buck before they never get a job again.
There’s probably no stopping it, but that made this read all the more frustrating to me.
I mean that’s completely illegal at least in places like Germany where people have the right to be forgotten, but unfortunately you’re still right. They already commited the biggest heist in human history and got away with it. I guess NFT grifters only got punished because they dared to also steal from some rich people while Altman and his cronies are smart enough to only steal from the other 99.9%. When they have your data once, you can’t request it back anymore. Because the worst that can happen to them is a slap on the wrist and the cost of being in the fastest growing business of our times. In other words: World’s fucked and shit sucks.
They revealed some sort of companion for your phone that is ironically close to those in the movie „Her“ where the virtual girlfriend is voiced by Scarlet Johansson.
Just my two cents so take it with a grain of salt: Adderall is extremely sought after on the black market, especially among rich fucks. The abuse is probably the worst it ever was so I suspect a lot of it just goes missing before it can get labeled. In other words: Corruption.
Competitive online games have been Valve‘s focus for well over a decade so it‘s in line with their portfolio. If anything, Alyx was an outlier they only did because they have a headset to sell it with. I think they know what they‘re doing. Sucks for you to not be their target audience though because they are pretty good at making games.

They‘re turning the internet into a mutated form of free TV. You only get to see what they want you to see and there are ads around every corner.
Of course the goal is to make you switch to a mutated form of pay TV. You still only get to see what they want you to see but there‘s a bigger pool of crap now.
To put it bluntly: After they cornered the market, they‘re killing the internet.
This exact method is how Microsoft became a giant in the first place. They’ve been doing it for longer than I live and they’ll likely outlive me doing it.
