Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth (who has dubbed himself Secretary of War, though the name has not been legally changed by Congress) promised that the platform “puts the worlds [sic] most powerful frontier AI models directly into the hands of every American warrior” and will “make our fighting force more lethal than ever before.” In a video, Hegseth says that “the future of American warfare is here, and it’s spelled A-I.”
Bombshell new reporting from 404 Media found that Flock, which has its cameras in thousands of US communities, has been outsourcing its AI to gig workers located in the Philippines.
“AI brainrot is bad for our souls” An interesting article that explores why games are increasingly finding themselves in situations where AI art was used, ether intentional or not.
It’s not a novel observation to say that supporters of President Donald Trump and supporters of U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders find common ground on many issues. They often share a skepticism of entrenched power and a desire to dismantle systems that they think have ceased to serve everyday people. In Indiana, this agreement includes a distrust of data centers.
LLMs are effectively optimized for bamboozling CEOs into mistaking them for intelligent activity, rather than autocomplete on steroids. And so the corporate leaders extrapolate from their own experience to that of their employees, and assume that anyone not sprinkling magic AI pixie dust on their work is obviously a dirty slacker or a luddite.
I remember when I suggested that I shouldn’t learn to write in 1998, because you can just type on the computer, I was laughed at. I was told that at best I’d still need to learn to write, and at worst computers can turn out as a fad due to them requiring electricity to work, they can crash and go bad, etc. Pease note that my dislike of writing was heavily influenced by likely having dyspraxia, and a lot of cheaper pens/pencils being mildly painful to hold.
Windows 11’s Notepad continues to get Copilot-powered AI features – a handy addition to a tool whose main appeal has always been simplicity and minimalism. Not all users are happy, however, with some saying AI features are overkill.
One of the slides Bahran showed during the presentation attempted to quantify the amount of human involvement these new AI-controlled power plants would have. He estimated less than five percent “human intervention during normal operations.”
What is true is that Amazon managers are demanding substantially more work out of every employee. It has always been an intense place, but my former coworkers who have been at the company for a decade say that teams now have more responsibilities with fewer people. We see more frequent “large-scale events” — for example, AWS outages like the one that rocked the internet this October — because teams are under pressure to deliver more with less. Non-stop rumors of layoffs instill a corrosive fear into jobs we used to find challenging and satisfying. This fear means that the company can get away with unreasonable expectations of productivity.
used to think that the hype surrounding artificial intelligence was just that—hype. I was skeptical when ChatGPT made its debut. The media frenzy, the breathless proclamations of a new era—it all felt familiar. I assumed it would blow over like every tech fad before it.
I was wrong. But not in the way you might think.
As Australia rides the AI boom with dozens of new investments in datacentres in Sydney and Melbourne, experts are warning about the impact these massive projects will have on already strained water resources.
Micron/Crucial has been my go to for years building PCs. This move just pisses me off so much. Fuck AI. It just keeps taking without giving anything in return. If the bubble can hurry up and pop already, that’d be great!
Discord. Private Facebook groups. Telegram. I could go on and on, but I’ve noticed that these days, more and more content is not being seen by search engines.
