  • New Orleans will use AI to answer 911 calls instead of a human

    Jump

  • I don’t think there’s any net positive that would account for not answering an emergency call at all.

    Can you really justify someone not being able to reach help at all in place of everyone being able to reach it albeit slower?

    As a lifelong first responder, I couldn’t get behind something like this at all.

    • If caller answers "yes":
    • AI bot tells them that responders have already >been dispatched

    So you’re gating whether or not a caller in an emergency gets to speak to a human based on the audio recognition of a robot?

    Easy enough to make it so that if the bot doesn’t hear a yes or a no clearly it defaults to forwarding the call, but what happens when a person says no and the bot “hears” yes?

  • You think that a persons established pro-ai bias is not related to the inference of the bias of their ai-related comment?

    I… disagree. That would be directly related.

    And it’s of course not ad hominem in the slightest because an ad hominem is an attack on a person instead of an argument. That’s not happening here.

    Your comment reads like a high schooler who just had their first class on argument and logic and hasn’t quite got a firm understanding of either yet.

  • It has a meaning, there just isn’t a strictly defined point at which something is no longer a startup. It’s used when it makes sense, which it does in this case. I’m guessing you’re not a native English speaker which is the source of your frustration. In the English language we have lots of words that are used to describe things which aren’t like enforced by some kind of regulating body. Colloquial uses of all kinds of words are pretty common.

    If openAI has an "unproven business model" they're not a startup they're a failed business living off of borrowed and leveraged assets.

    Thats what makes them a startup. “Failing businesses living off borrowed and leveraged assets with a hope and a dream that if they get big enough they won’t be failing anymore” is a pretty accurate assessment of what a startup is.

  • Hmm I don’t remember mobbing anyone. All I did was reiterate what the man himself said, in the face of you trying to spin it as more pro than it was.

    When the guy says his AI use was causing him problems and he regrets it and wants to make a change, I believe him. Simple as.

  • lol sure pal. At least stick to your guns next time.

  • You’ve said plenty pro-AI lol. You don’t have to get so defensive about it, just own your position.

    I’ve exaggerated nothing. Hank himself said he’s spoken to both his wife and brother about his AI use and said they “didn’t pull any punches”, which implies there was a blunt conversation about it, if not two.

  • Startup doesn’t really have a strict definition but generally the term is used for a business with an unproven business model that has to scale rapidly just to be viable, and often relies on VC funding. This is opposed to like starting your own plumbing business with your own capital and you’re profitable as soon as you pick up a couple regular clients.

    OpenAI doesn’t have a business model yet and they don’t make any money so it makes sense that they haven’t shed the startup label. Like a roughly accurate test is to imagine what would happen if all the outside investments disappeared overnight. Could OpenAI continue operating on its own two feet? If the answer is no, it’s still a startup.

  • That’s probably why he wrote an in depth explanation of what he did, his motive, how it affected him etc.

    His public posts on the matter were not made for the people who actually know him.

  • He said they “did not pull any punches” which implies it was a more blunt conversation than you’re suggesting.

    Hank Green himself describes his relationship with AI the same way you would an addiction, and specifically mentions the dopamine reaction driving his use of it to a point where he became overwhelmed by it.

    He’s not describing a casual discussion about table salt, he’s literally describing a drug/alcohol addiction.

  • Being anti-anti something is being pro-something. That’s the beauty of the double negative.

    Also that’s just a very pro-AI user, so the intent can be inferred

  • His AI use caused him so many problems in his private life that his family had to intervene. His point of view is “This technology has had a negative impact on my life and the lives of the people I care about”.

    Your pro-AI spiel is a bit tone deaf here

  • Should you still buy your next smartphone — or subscribe to it instead? Apple, Samsung … are betting that leasing, subscriptions, and guaranteed buyback programs can make upgrading more attractive.

  • The reason this is happening is because the cost of DRAM is ballooning the prices of all electronics and they are fully aware that people can’t pay the new higher prices even if they wanted to. Lower monthly payments is the difference between whether a lot of people buy an Apple or Samsung device at all.

    I wouldn’t call this move nefarious on its own, but it is a dystopian side affect of the real problem which is DRAM price gauging.

  • An important thing to note here is that this isn’t anything new. This is what a significant amount of people have already been doing for years through their carrier. I don’t have any statistics on hand for this, but I personally don’t know a single person who has bought their phone outright. Everyone just leases their phone through their carrier around here, and upgrades as soon as they’re allowed. Hearing people complain about their cellphone plan cost increasing or poor cell service but being unable to switch carriers until their phone is paid off is a common thing to hear, as carriers have been using their phone leasing programs as a substitute for plan contracts for awhile now.

    Leasing your phone through your carrier with the ability to buy or turn it in at the end of the term has been the name of the game for a very long time. What Apple and Samsung are doing is just trying to entice you into going direct through them instead of your carrier which is actually a good thing.

    If you’ve been buying your phone outright then you shouldn’t use a program like this, but if you’ve been leasing your phone through your carrier I’d actually recommend switching to just doing the same thing directly through the manufacturer since it frees you up to switch carriers whenever you want.
