the entire world is throwing money at AI, both for use and for investment, because there's significant value in doing so.
I disagree. The average internet user has it rammed down their throats. Any default web search uses "AI" by default. The average person didn't *ask* for this.
Does this mean the all the annoying MongoDB banner ads will go away from Slashdot? I think Meta is the prefect match for MongoDB, Meta is already a cesspool of intrusive ads.
hey are pilot at remotely from a call center in the Philippines. The goal here is to outsource taxi cab drivers. Because no matter how little they're paying people it's never too little.
With enough people solving "prove you are human by identifying the bridges" captchas we could crowd-source all the "autonomous driving" tasks in real time. Just a distributed Mechanical Turk
Does anyone know what numbers they are comparing against?
No, we don't know, because this is self-reported data from Waymo. It's just a business saying "trust us bro."
Alternative headline: "Business fabricates statistics that make them sound good."
So did I, and I paid extra for 'Amazon Instant' delivery. Not making that mistake again.
(typing this from an anvil-shaped hole in the ground. ow.)
+1 funny.
Don't try to inject real life into cartoons. (In the real world, coyotes can run nearly twice as fast a roadrunners.)

I went to my bank and one of the employees that talked to me was wearing them. Was the bank public? What was my expectation of privacy inside the bank?
That's frightening. What did the bank have to say about it?
A pervert is going to use hidden cameras that are NOT contained within well known camera equipped devices. They will use buttonhole cameras, pen cameras, and all the other various concealed cameras that have existed since long before Meta offered glasses.
Pointing out that people will do other creepy shit doesn't excuse the creepy shit we are presently discussing. If you had a broken leg you'd go to a doctor, not just ignore it because tomorrow you might break your arm.
You can't really justify banning a tool simply because a fraction of a percent decide to use it for malicious purposes.
I guess you haven't been in an airport this century. Forget "tools," you're not even allowed to bring a bottle of water through security. We can argue all day whether it's a good idea, but the point is, it happens and your taxes are paying for it.
When the next wav of feminism demands Greed turn the worlds oldest profession into a fucking stock ticker

"keep their stories up for 48 hours instead of 24, send animated super reactions and super hearts to stories, preview stories without showing up as a viewer in other users' list"
Surely, they have some kind of data that says someone will pay for this, right? Is this really what people can't wait to hand over money to Facebook for? Super Reactions? "Exclusive" stickers and ringtones? I'd love to hear from someone that actually pays for that kind of stuff and what they are really getting out of it - because I REALLY don't get it.
Remember in the early 2000s when there were all those late night TV ads charging $2.99 for ringtones? I never bought one, I don't know anyone who did, but presumably there must have been somebody handing over money. Presumably those people (or their children) are making similarly poor decisions today.
I deleted my Facebook years ago
How did you do this? Last time I tried, facebook made up some kind of "device not recognised" error (even though it was the same PC I had been using for months) and demanded more PII to proceed, like a real cell number and email. Obviously I wasn't going to do that.
So now I have an orphan account I can't log into and use even if I wanted to. I guess that's almost as good as no account at all?
Non-regulated finance is nothing but an invitation to criminals of all sorts.
Cryptocurrency is a speedrun of why conventional finance has regulations.
Jensen: Burn as much money as you can buying my hardware at grossly inflated prices. I am enjoying it. If you slow down, China is going to come from behind and bite your butt off. So you better run as fast as you can to save your butt.
Amodei: I need a break, cannot run anymore. I am running out of all the borrowed money to this hardware shark. I can only slowdown if everyone else slows down. Else I risk being trampled by all those who are chasing me. Please stop! [pulls out a white cloth tied to the end of a stick. No takers]
Haha haha... nice situation.
This seems like the best summary so far.
What if LG becomes Fecebook, in the sense that they're selling you to the advertiser. What if LG start putting eSIM devices into the screens so that you get a free picture box in exchange for your preferences to sell to the advertiser? You might not notice it in the menus, but you might get product placement of some sort. It's a horrible future which I foresee.
George Orwell was an optimist. In 1984 he proposed that the government would have to force people to have telescreens in their homes. Here we are in 2026 and people eagerly pay their own money to install them on behalf of faceless advertisers... and the government do nothing to prevent it.
