  • 'People will buy intelligence from us on a meter': ChatGPT's Sam Altman's AI vision worries critics

    Jump

  • How capable are LLMs at replacing software jobs above an entry-level grade? I imagine giving a gaggle of fresh grads the entirety of human knowledge and asking them to create software would create something, but I don't imagine the outcome would be high enough quality to have a net positive in productivity after someone has to spend the next 5 years adding to or changing it.

  • Given the serious crimes they have already committed, all members of the cabinet would likely face criminal prosecution under a new administration—even within the completely dysfunctional U.S. legal system.

    I'm not holding my breath. It would be great if I'm wrong, but my bingo card has the next admin proclaiming "now is the time for healing and unity, not vengeance" instead of actually enforcing the consequences that are supposed to come with actions.

  • They also need red vision cones to show where the un-stealth area is.

  • They should switch to 4.3e5 notation. Slightly more precision will help me know if I'm paying $40000 or $43000 per gallon.

  • Plex Announces Massive Price Hike on Lifetime Subscription Plans

  • Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by profiteering opportunism.

    Does this already have a name? If not, can we call it "Riccitiello's Law"?

  • GrapheneOS says Google is making life harder for rival operating systems and devices

  • The only thing worse than no security is a false sense of security. It's better for someone to know they're using an untrustworthy device than to find out the hard way.

    If other phones can't provide an acceptable baseline level of security, the GrapheneOS devs are correct to not support them. Yes, it sucks that the only phones supported are Google Pixels. They have a partnership with Motorola to create a non-Google alternative.

    If you still don't like it, fork it.
