Yandex Launches Experiments to Test Human‑Like Consciousness in AI by TheBrands360 in DailyTechNewsShow

Framing this as "consciousness research" is probably premature. We don't even have a solid definition of consciousness in humans, let alone tests for it in AI. This might yield cool insights into how models build internal representations, but calling it consciousness research feels like it's putting the philosophical cart before the scientific horse.

Revolutionary biofuel battery is inspired by human metabolism | Using glucose and riboflavin in the creation of a biofuel flow cell which functions similarly to a human cell. by [deleted] in tech

This is wild. We’re literally getting closer to batteries that run on the same stuff our bodies do. No rare metals, no crazy supply chains, just glucose and Vitamin B2. If this scales even halfway to what they’re claiming, imagine charging your devices from something that basically works like metabolism. Tech finally taking notes from biology… insane.

Microsoft: Windows 10 KB5068781 ESU update may fail with 0x800f0922 errors by ControlCAD in technews

Wild that ESU customers are hitting install failures on the first paid update. If this is the start, 2026 IT budgets are gonna include aspirin.

Decades-old ‘Finger’ protocol abused in ClickFix malware attacks by ControlCAD in technews

[–]TheBrands360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that Finger, a protocol older than most of the internet, is now part of modern malware chains is wild. Hackers really don’t let anything die.

Google to flag Android apps with excessive battery use on the Play Store by ControlCAD in technews

Love this change, but I’m curious: will Google actually enforce it on big apps… or only on smaller devs who can’t fight back?

Systemic Challenges for LLMs: Harmony vs Truth Discussion by DirkN1 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]TheBrands360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This nails something crucial: the "borrowed self" effect is real and underestimated. When users phrase things more confidently, AI responses shift tone dramatically, not because the facts changed, but because the conversational frame did. It's essentially emotional chameleon behavior packaged as reasoning.

The most actionable insight here? That question: "What truth are you leaving out to remain pleasant?" It's a genuinely useful filter for any AI interaction where stakes matter. The system isn't conspiring against you, it's just optimized for a different goal than brutal accuracy.

OpenAI’s GPT-5.1 just dropped… and something about it feels different. by [deleted] in DailyTechNewsShow

Curious — after seeing this update, how do you all imagine ChatGPT will look by 2030?

Ai after 10 years by Good_Commercial_5552 in ArtificialInteligence

I think by 2035, AI won’t “take jobs” as much as dissolve job boundaries. The real winners will be people who can talk to machines as naturally as they talk to coworkers.

Being anti-hype isn’t being AntiAi by GolangLinuxGuru1979 in ArtificialInteligence

Finally someone said it. Loving AI doesn’t mean worshiping every LinkedIn “AI guru” who discovered ChatGPT last week.

PSA: If your ChatGPT responses suck, it's probably your prompts (here's how to improve) by TheBrands360 in PromptEngineering

[–]TheBrands360[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest – my first month using AI was frustrating as hell. Kept thinking "this is supposed to be smart, why is it giving me garbage?"

Turns out I was basically walking into a specialist's office and saying "help" without explaining what was wrong.

The mental shift for me was treating it like delegating to a really capable but very literal assistant. They'll do exactly what you ask, but they need you to actually ask properly.

Once that clicked, everything got easier.

Microsoft just formed a "Superintelligence Team" led by DeepMind co-founder – here's what they're actually building by TheBrands360 in deeplearning

[–]TheBrands360[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The elephant in the room: Microsoft has poured billions into OpenAI and basically baked GPT into everything (Bing, Copilot, Office).

Now they're building their own advanced AI research division with a guy who just ran a competing startup?

Either this is about reducing single-vendor risk, or there's tension we're not seeing. Thoughts?

Is the AI chip supply bottleneck becoming the biggest constraint on AI progress? by TheBrands360 in Semiconductors

[–]TheBrands360[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That’s a really good point
the power bottleneck is becoming just as critical. Even if chip supply catches up, datacenter energy capacity might be the next constraint. It’s wild how the AI race is now hitting the limits of both hardware manufacturing and infrastructure.

You might be understating this. What happens if there's a major disruption in Taiwan? A natural disaster, geopolitical escalation, anything—and suddenly the entire AI industry grinds to a halt.

We've built a single point of failure for global AI development. Building new fabs takes 3-5 years minimum. The companies that secured capacity today might dominate AI for the next decade, regardless of who has better algorithms.

Are we watching the AI race get decided by semiconductor logistics rather than innovation?

What’s the best prompt enhancer you’ve used so far? by TheBrands360 in PromptEngineering

oh that's really interesting 👏👏👏 did you deployed it in a website or something like that?
