I suppose an empty hand gesture is about all the sociopaths in the c-suite can muster as far as conveying human-like emotions.

Semites reading a Semitic-language translation of a book written by the most famous anti-Semite in history to better understand modern-day anti-Semites (i.e., the Zionist people of predominately European ancestry who hold a worldview quite similar to the author of said book who are currently committing genocide against people of Semitic ancestry).

1·2 days agoJust watched the video. It’s hilarious that it breaks the glass, pauses for a few awkward moments, bats its eyes, backs up, then just sits there batting its eyes.

They’d probably like to come colonize our planet, but with 2x the gravity of Earth, I bet it’s hard to build a rocket that can actually get them into space, much less travel 1800 light years.
In most cases, not all that much. YouTube is mainly useful for getting views and building an audience. It’s a combination of revenue sources like sponsors, merchandise, donations, etc., that really make it worthwhile for creators.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•If I shared a home with a 36' tall, 2-ton creature, I would be very careful to stay away from its feet while it walked
3·3 days agoMy cat is always trying to trip me. Then again, she looks and acts like one of her parents was an African wildcat straight from the savanna. Even when she’s being purry and cuddly laying in my nook, she keeps trying to lovingly bite my face off and when I play with her, she does backflips several feet into the air trying to catch whatever toy I’m animating for her. Little creature is half wild!

Technology@lemmy.world•Anthropic says its latest AI model is too powerful for public release and that it broke containment during testingEnglish
5·4 days agoYawn, we all know how this goes. So what model am I not supposed to use? I’ll be sure and avoid it, though I’d much rather avoid downloading their leaked weights like I avoid other things I’m not supposed to download.
The studies about intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation suggest otherwise, and that monetary rewards can even have a negative impact on productivity and creativity. Ultimately, we want a society of intrinsically motivated people doing their best, most inspired work, not a society following financial incentives.

2·4 days agoClearly SaaS isn’t working out, so just open source all the frontier models and stop building data centers so we can all buy our own GPUs.
I often fall asleep watching Columbo on Jellyfin. It’s a nice, calming, make-believe world where elite douchebags get their just deserts.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It should be "as the duck flies", not "as the crow flies".
2·6 days agoDon’t ducks have specific migratory flyaways, so it’s more akin to commercial airlines in that they fly specific routes seasonally? Other than that, I assume they primarily fly between bodies of water. “As the duck flies” would therefore assume that a duck would even fly the route in question, when in fact, a crow may be more likely to fly it than a duck.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Target Warns That If Its AI Shopping Agent Makes an Expensive Mistake, You'll Have to Pay for It
2·6 days agoSure, but AI engineers are well aware of that fact (or should be) and there are ways to limit the potential damage, like human in the middle, especially for purchases over a certain threshold. Overall, a system like this like this should never really be trusted to make purchases without the customer approving each purchase.
Then again, if you’re going to approve every purchase, I’m not sure how it really saves time. If it is purchasing without approval, the first time it buys something you didn’t want and you have to battle Target to get it refunded will negate any time savings. Largely seems like AI for the sake of AI.
