... NOT!

This right here is why general research has a place being funded by the people instead of by companies. Companies will try to hide their results for their business edge but putting the knowledge out in the public sphere can result in whole new industries poping up.

Purely to appease the crypto tech bros, wonder how long till we get to the next coin crash.

Finally, I get to "up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Start" again

In this case, it looks like it's the Hedge Fund activist investor that's been pushing them to adopt bag fees.

Quite a few companies are doing some sort of AI stuff now. What articles often don't get into is the scope.

Make whole new characters? Generally not. Use AI to uprez older textures or adjust 3d model geo to fit characters? Sure.

Public facing ethics people "This is terrible, it's cheating!"

CEO's wanting to use it for their business strategy "This is perfect, it'll give me an edge over the competition!"

"tasked with proposing a new regulatory framework for digital assets. "

"bans the creation of central bank digital currencies which could compete with existing cryptocurrencies."

So pretty much asking to regulate, but not CONTROL which kind of defeats the point.

Sadly, it's lacking so far. One of the first things I tried to do with copilot was a very "Siri" style: Look at my emails, find anything from and set up a reminder each day for it.

All it did was say how it couldn't do that and offer some suggestions of how to go about doing it myself.

Great, now I can have an AI Agent doomscroll for me while I go outside and touch grass.

"Since the hardware is relatively unchanged from last year's Galaxy S24 series..."

And it was already barely changed from the S22 before that.

I'm not paying for an expensive software update that I didn't ask for. This trying to churn out some big "new model" each year feels like it's hit the wall.

Gotta fight the mouse for that one.

So, layoffs and required "compliance" training?

Seems like Project Digits is set up to try to divert some of that low end AI farm attention, especially since performance isn't as important to LLM's as just high volume of VRAM or the like.

So what I'm hearing is all the calls to be more ethical and upstanding as a person when i was in school was just gaslighting when I should have been racing for the bottom and exploiting people, which would have been more reflective of society as it is today.
