  • Secret 'discombobulator' weapon was crucial to Venezuelan raid on Maduro

    Jump

  • “The Discombobulator” then was aimed directly at Maduro’s defenders.

    “At one point, they launched something; I don’t know how to describe it. It was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside,” the witness said.

    Uh, this sounds a lot like what people who were afflicted with Havana Syndrome reported experiencing. If this is a US weapon, then that explains why the government is refusing to acknowledge it.

  • It’s indeed a surprise if you believe their claims about LLMs being intelligent.

  • It’s so easy to pontificate instead of actually doing studies, right?

  • Hmm, I feel like I’ve been warned by stumbling across this thread. And at first I thought it was stealth marketing.

  • I feel like some sort of scheme will be invented to fuck your average person over when that time comes.

  • On record.

    We only started keeping records in 2006.

  • Google offers bargain: Sell your soul to Gemini, and it'll give you smarter answers

    Jump

  • Yeah, I described this more in another reply. And the more I described what I would want from an ai assistant the more it made me realize how bad it would be for society.

    Jump

  • That’s true, these supposedly intelligent systems are really stupid about this stuff still. Especially with limited room to store that additional ever growing context about you.

    I wasn’t accounting for quality, and it’s bad right now for this. And I’m skeptical it will get better. The models need to be tactful about using accumulated knowledge about the person driving.

    I can’t help but feel my descriptions getting more and more similar to just describing a competent person. And, I’m aware I’m being idealistic and what I’m OK with won’t be a product any time soon.

    I guess it would be fully on device, encrypted at rest and have a perfectly good memory of our conversations and it would be tactful in bringing in knowledge into conversations. I dunno, I’m just describing the ideal personal assistant AI. And many people would make it a companion. And… yeah, anyway. Surveillance capitalism and pervasive advertising is bad.

    Jump

  • I would be ok with it being like a person, more like an acquaintance at work maybe. Specifically meaning I would be ok with having the AI know about me only based on what I’ve said to it.

    But none of this surveillance economy stuff. And the AI model can be no snitch to big ad tech.

  • Amazon is forcibly upgrading Prime members to Alexa Plus, and users are not happy

    Jump

  • I have the original Echo, and it still works. For some reason I had it running and it had an alert recently. So I asked what it was, and Alexa promoted being able to upgrade and told me how it’s so much better and stuff. And told me I just had to give it the go to upgrade.

    So I did. And then AND THEN it told me my device is too old.

    Fucking POS. I unplugged it again. I use it as a stand for my HomePod Mini.
