  • Business Insider is tracking employees’ ChatGPT usage as part of a new AI push: An enterprise version of ChatGPT is now available to all staff, with 70% using the tool “regularly.”

    Jump

  • I don't use any of those cloud LLMs but I used to use a local TabbyML based coding assistant but turned it off for gaming and then forgot to turn it back on again and stopped using it after I noticed I had not missed anything in the few weeks it was off before I noticed. There literally isn't a productivity difference.

  • If their boss was so much into AI that they track usage and do press releases about it I would assume that most people will use it whether they want to or not just to keep their job.

  • Also last updated in 2021 and won't build any more with cargo install for me.

  • Probably closer to 25 years here and I can only remind everyone who switches to Linux that Windows and Mac are quite painful to use when you don't use them often too so don't go by first impressions of comparing what you used for years vs. something you only used a couple of hours.

  • It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System

    Jump

  • Well, video of an actual good teacher is still better than having to passively listen to a bad one in front of you though. I agree that something more interactive and involving the students more actively would probably be even better though.

  • I would go further back than that. Our entire education system has failed to adapt to the fact that rote memorization is not the most important form of learning and that any question that could be answered in a multiple choice manner is not really worth asking to verify if someone understood the taught material.

    We have an education system that has failed to adapt to the easy availability of references which should have resulted in a focus on teaching a "skeleton" of knowledge to students since the exact details can always be looked up as long as you know the information exists and how to interpret it (e.g. you don't need to memorize which element carbon is and how much it weighs, you need to understand what an element is and what important properties of chemical elements are).

    We have an education system that failed to adapt to the availability of video recording which would have meant it would be easy to have every student understanding the same language watch the most engaging individuals instead of the average ones, presenting the content in a way designed by entire teams of top teachers, falling back on the average ones only for the interactive parts of education.

    We have an education system that still struggles with the teacher for a subject as a single source of failure, both in terms of absence and in terms of that teacher not being very compatible in their explanations with the way specific students think instead of having some kind of online forum or matching of teacher to student for one on one questions in a more flexible manner.

    We have an education system that still rigidly adheres to categories like physics, chemistry, mathematics, languages, history, geography,... designed in the 19th century for its degrees even though many jobs require more flexible mixes of knowledge and many also require learning for the entire life, not just at the start.

    Students today learn for exams a few days before they happen, then purge that knowledge again a few days or hours afterwards.

    There are many, many things wrong with our education system and we failed to even acknowledge that there are possible alternatives.

  • We did the math on AI’s energy footprint. Here’s the story you haven’t heard.

  • Nuclear power seems to be one of those things that are anything but bashed here but instead gets treated with an almost worship-like reverence.

  • Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026

    Jump

  • A good rule of thumb is that if you have heard of a brand but don't remember anything positive about them they should probably be dead to you.

    Jump

  • And imagine if products that couldn't get by on their own merits without ads wouldn't exist at all. How much more productive and happy our society would be if we got rid of useless products and the negative feelings ads induce when we don't have those useless products at the same time.

  • Sounds a lot like gig economy for everyone.

  • Algorithm based on LLMs doubles lossless data compression rates

    Jump

  • And how do I get the prompt that will reliably generate the data from the data? Usually for compression we do not start from an already compressed version.

  • Max pivots back to HBO Max as WBD rethinks ability to compete with Netflix

  • it ends in X and the CEO is the dumbest fuck alive? Must be one of Elon Musk's companies?

  • Audible unveils plans to use AI voices to narrate audiobooks

    Jump

  • Seems more like a proof of concept project for that paper than something they are pursuing seriously judging by the GitHub location in some example folder that hasn't seen any significant updates in over a year. If it is so great I would assume they would pursue it more actively and replace existing models with it two years later.

  • Company Regrets Replacing All Those Pesky Human Workers With AI, Just Wants Its Humans Back

    Jump

  • The idea that all new technologies are going to be successful just because some were in the past is just about the most ridiculous take in this entire thread.

  • Company Regrets Replacing All Those Pesky Human Workers With AI, Just Wants Its Humans Back

    Jump

  • The thing is that this is increasingly not true, hasn't been true with blockchain and crypto that was all garbage and no substance, not with the metaverse hype, not with any of the hype Elon Musk tried to create (hyperloop?) and not with AI as a worker replacement.

    There just isn't any useful bit that sticks around in many cases and where there is those useful bits were never part of the hype or have been around for much longer than the hyped part.

  • Except that your context aware search engine would tell you when there is no result and AI will just make shit up and distort the results it did find.

  • Probably depends on the language in the target market, a lot of European languages are not that common in countries with cheap labor.

  • Audible unveils plans to use AI voices to narrate audiobooks

    Jump

  • Most of these languages dont even have enough professional voice actors to cover the bandwidth.

    And you think anyone is training AI voice models for those languages? Have you even seen how long it takes even large companies like Google to support the languages with hundreds of millions of speakers?

  • Palantir CEO Alex Karp praises Saudi engineers and takes a swipe at Europe, saying it has 'given up' on AI

  • This was using gdscript to make a basic character controller.

    Sure, if you make something that likely has literally dozens of copies of the exact thing in the training data it can probably do well.
