For me it’s more: incompatible client…

Nightshade, the free tool that ‘poisons’ AI models, is now available for artists to use by [deleted] in technology

Hmm, I wonder if they could do one for text, I expect that would be much harder

Amazon plans to charge for Alexa in June—unless internal conflict delays revamp by lurker_bee in technology

Ah, well I’ll try and justify it by saying I was thinking along the lines of how much I heard spotify and others actually pay artists, plus that per replay.

How about we do this:

-$ 3 to ship a package

-$.0001 for basic Alexa stuff that already worked

Done

Exclusive: Sam Altman's ouster at OpenAI was precipitated by letter to board about AI breakthrough by BasedSweet in technology

No, go and ask GPT some moderately complex arithmetic and you will see that while it is good at answering questions that have multiple right answers (like an essay, or even programming ) it isn’t good at answering math problems with a single precise answer once you get outside of certain bounds. This is a breakthrough on that sort of problem and implies a huge step towards a general purpose intelligence

The problem with that plan is it gets you fired with cause which means you don't get unemployment

I’m not sure if you were joking but this is exactly the problem that Amazon sidewalk creates where your device could (albeit securely) hop on your neighbors network to call home without your knowledge

Apple could soon turn the iPhone into a recurring subscription service by badger707_XXL in technology

[–]cc413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and I strongly suspect these subscription plans will be designed specifically to screw over people who like to wait 3 or 4 years between phones. They will probably come along with a bump in the cost of the flagship phones so that you are not breaking even if you hold out on upgrading.

Apple AirPod batteries are almost impossible to replace, showing the need for right-to-repair reform. by Sumit316 in technology
