Using the same word for everything is very Smurf-like. So I guess that's where the Smurfs work in the real world - marketing?

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of apes (and rocks) hurtling down the highway!

(sorry Andrew)

Oh, I did not spot that... So, they name all their software after legacy unrelated applications and file formats. ARC then, now Dia (the Diagram Editor)...This is not a coincidence. It must be some marketing ploy for... Something? Maybe? I don't know, I'm not a marketer. What do they gain from this?

Well, that's going to going to cause some confusion. At least for me - I am developing some software that works around Dia (the diagram editor), and now I'll have to explain to my customers that it's not using Dia (the AI browser thing).

Sounds like a quote ChatGPT would happily generate and attribute to Groucho!

Well I for one welcome our artificially intelligent upvoting overlords!

No, you're on to something real there. Samsung has pulled a similar trick on the latest phone series. They also have a setting called "adaptative battery protection". Their sale pitch is that with it, they can keep the battery charge at 85% until not long before you usually wake up, and charge it to 100% just before you wake up.

So far, so good, it should not be hard to make a program that checks current charge level, does some stats about battery profile, checks at what time your alarm is set, and starts the final 15% charging at the right moment.

But what it actually does is AI. In order to activate this "optimization", you have to opt-in a program where you allow Samsung to basically access all your phone data, check your habits, and build a profile of you so that the AI somehow "predicts" when you'll next wake up. You'll have to abide to the terms when you first try to activate the "adaptative battery protection".

So yes, they are using AI. The battery protection thing is a side-effect of the data mining, tho.

And to be honest, most of the AI-improved versions of things we should be able to do with classical algorithms are mostly data-mining in disguise.

Yes, and let's also take into account that some numbers are given in binary, such as "101100 years" for the life of a white star. So that's 44 years, tops. Talk about fast decay!

No, they're all busy packing to get as far as possible from Earth when the end of the universe happens!

Why doesn't Perplexity buy Chrome? See the previous article.

Did they unfreeze a DotCom era CEO from a cryogenic vat and asked him to do an inspirational speech in front of investors or something? Because well, this idea is not exactly new.

(mental image: Dr Evil asking the world leaders for a one million dollar ransom)

Yes, I'm a bit perplex about this plan.

If it requires a willful action to make the bucket public, then it's quite likely a bad actor is implanted in the company and enabling discreet data exfiltration to interested 3rd parties...
