• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft CEO's pay rises 63% to $79m, despite devastating year for layoffs: 2550 jobs lost in 2024⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  He deserves it. He made the deal to own 49% of OpenAI, which is quickly becoming one of the most valuable companies of all time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI-powered weapons scanners used in NYC subway found zero guns in one month test⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And people say New York isn’t safe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It’s Time to Stop Taking Sam Altman at His Word⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  but for now, his approach is textbook Silicon Valley mythmaking

  The difference is that in this case it is not hype—it is reality. It’s not a myth, it is happening right now. We are chugging inevitably down the track to the most dramatic discovery in human history. And Altman’s views on solving the climate crisis, disease, nuclear fusion… they are all within reach. If anything we need to increase our speed to get us there ASAP.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI is now valued at $157 billion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Still far too low for a company that will likely accomplish AGI in the next two years.

  What did they do to you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Plenty on eBay

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a hard time defending the YouTubers on this one. I mean, Nintendo has been pretty good about allowing older games to be played on its modern consoles. See VGC, the NES/SNES/N64 pass, and the multiple re-releases put out for the Switch. At some point just pony up the money or play the older games on a physical older console.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Cache Is Now Fully Dead.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What a disgrace. This clown show of a company kills things people love and pushes advertising no one wants.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jony Ive confirms he’s working with Sam Altman on a secret project⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Great, looking forward to chat bots with thermal issues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They stole my voice with AI | Jeff Geerling⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The voice isn’t his to own in the first place. “They” have a right to use it as much as he does.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which one is selected? The "Yes" option or the "No" option?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The “yes” is selected.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft boosts Windows’ FAT32 partition size limit after nearly three decades⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know how much it matters though? If I try it on my Windows XP machine I’ll still be stuck with the old limit right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Begins Testing 50 Gig Fiber Internet⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s about time for this. I’ve developed my home system capable of 100G. WAN connection is the final piece.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Robert Picardo is joining the cast of Academy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is fantastic news. “The Doctor” is one of my favorite characters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stretchable e-skin could give robots human-level touch sensitivity⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Would it be able to replace people skin too? I’m starting to saggy and spotty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit Will License Its Data to Train LLMs, So We Made a Firefox Extension That Lets You Replace Your Comments With Any (Non-Copyrighted) Text⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If one wanted to really screw the AI, I’d replace each post/comment with nonsense generated by ChatGPT itself on a higher-than-normal temperature setting. AI would be training on its own generated content, and out of context as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨These States Are Basically Begging You to Get a Heat Pump⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  the federal government doubled down on its own commitment to heat pumps, announcing $169 million in funding

  I am grateful the government is investing in this. I would like to see them even more, bilions

  Thanks Elon

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘There is no such thing as a real picture’: Samsung defends AI photo editing on Galaxy S24⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  edits made using this generative AI tech will result in a watermark and metadata changes

  The metadata is easy to erase. It’s only a matter of time until we start seeing some open source projects come out that can remove the watermarking the AI players are starting to try.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DocuSign to lay off 6% of workforce, or about 440 jobs⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I need to just filter out layoff news. All these tech layoffs really bug me. Hope we see some startups take off filled with these laid off workers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smaug-72B-v0.1: The New Open-Source LLM Roaring to the Top of the Leaderboard⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Any idea what 8Q requirements would be? Or 4 or 5?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smaug-72B-v0.1: The New Open-Source LLM Roaring to the Top of the Leaderboard⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If only I had the $ to get a rig that could run this locally

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI shouldn’t make ‘life-or-death’ decisions, says OpenAI’s Sam Altman⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair enough. I do think AI will become a valuable tool for doctors, etc who do make those decisions

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨23andMe Blames Users for Recent Data Breach as It's Hit With Dozens of Lawsuits⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mostly agree. One thing they could have done to mitigate some of it is bar the user from creating a password that is one of the most commonly used 1 million passwords, or 10,000, etc to mitigate users using commonly used passwords that they might have used elsewhere.

  Most commonly used password lists: github.com/danielmiessler/…/Common-Credentials

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HP customers claim firmware update rendered third-party ink verboten | Then the company cranked up the price of cartridges, complaint alleges⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  HP isn’t what it used to be. I’ve got an HP color laser printer that has been cranking for more than ten years, while using third party toner. It’s sad seeing them like this now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨About 75,000 Deloitte staff have been given access to a generative artificial intelligence chatbot to create PowerPoint presentations and write emails and code in an attempt to boost productivity⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not surprised. I’m sure there are many companies out there who are beginning to use generative AI

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AirTag 2 not expected until 2025 as Apple sits on backlog of first-gen inventory⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The current version has a replaceable battery, so I don’t see any reason to upgrade to some other device.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chief justice centers Supreme Court annual report on AI’s dangers⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you. Less biased, can’t be flown on fancy vacations. Not a bad idea

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Salesforce Signals the Golden Age of Cushy Tech Jobs Is Over⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Despite the title, the article is about salespeople working for tech companies, not about software developers, etc

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New rules for bots on lemm.ee & Lemmy programming stream⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  All these rules seem sensible and should crack down on bot content. Thanks for thinking this out.
