contracted workers at a Kenya-based company called Sama. These workers are data annotators who are tasked with reviewing footage captured from the camera on the glasses and labeling it to help AI systems get better at identifying what they see

Sama is the same company that classified outputs and training material for openai.

After buyers invested in Windows 11 PCs, Microsoft may find it difficult to encourage early adoption. The motivation now is not security-related, but rather mandating previously optional AI-based features […] Consumers may also not welcome rumored subscription-based plans for the OS. Still, the report suggests that additional costs are related to an improved Windows 365 cloud-based service […]

Windows is a mandatory AI driven “” os “” that’s leasing its features from cloud platforms. Sounds like corporate setups for home computers

IT and tech support for the relatively common case of bricked computers and bad updates.

And steam has linux too in their devices. Linux is going mainstream, and i feel like this time is real.

Y’know, i only use AI for horizontal side researches and support that i do next to the main non ai search. Other than that, i write my stuff, all of it.

The malicious domains will also try to accept only real PC users. If it detects an internet visit coming from a bot or an automated check from a security researcher, the domains will redirect the traffic to Google.com. “If you pass the checks, the site downloads a file named ms-update32.exe. At 75MB, it feels like a legitimate Windows installer,” Malwarebytes says.

They are getting more sophisticated. So it’s a copy of licences and installer. Naturally, the only legitimate means to have that is windows update from the menù, but if you didn’t know…

From DoD tu dud real quick

I read somewhere that Anthropic has $18,000,000,000 in commitments from last year alone, so conceivably, they can stand to lose a mere $200,000,000 and it won’t create a huge issue for them in the short term.

How does one count that amount of anything, let alone money

This side pane will provide ‘contextual insights and actionable suggestions’, but I’m betting the idea won’t be well received

I know what it is, it’s the ‘summarise page for me’ feature. That nobody uses as much as they want. That’s why they’re forcing it. We need a private email service / frontend / program, i feel like this is going to their servers without oversight. I don’t know.

Despite the big AI backlash that started late last year, Microsoft clearly isn’t downing AI tools – but did we think it would? No, of course not, as AI agents are the next-big-thing ™ in Windows 11, and there’s no getting around that

So is everything. Just say “install linux now” I guess. Samsung is going ‘agentic’ AI. On our phones. No privacy, even. Apple enabled the age verification at an os level, besides i also hate how file transfering protocols work on iphones.

This isn’t even my phone anymore because AI must access everything. No, no and no.

I agree 100%, but a thought occurred to me…would these help lead to more arrest if assaults were captured on the cameras. It sucks that such an existential threat to privacy could do real good. Forces some moral and ethical issues that techno feudalism is forcing on us, and we aren’t making the choice.

you should be reading more cyberpunk / scifi literature. There is literally the case for human action and freedom within the machine. And assuming that AI cameras are also the freuquent next step in police states. Do you really want this? Are you allowed to have ambitions outside the machine?

Yeah no we regular folk are stranded on corpo beach. And all the coconuts have candy crush running inside.

I used a mavis beacon like program on my computer for english, really basic stuff but the little thing came in a cd-rom included in my school textbook, and the program covers everything up to b1 levels, and it’s seriously impressive for how small it is. By far the worst software for that type of stuff is the kind of gamified environment we have today. Edutaiment was a trend between the late 90’s and the 2000’s. Gamification is the evil twin of edutainment.

Ideally they should allow and use both, physical media and notes and digital access to all media. And allow self management. That way they will learn the limits.

But currently they are just forcing digital interfaces on students who did not fully develop yet. Ironicaly, for how much tech they must use, the use of a computer is still sub optimal. Typing skills, for instance, are better trained on a word document with a spell check active. One of the many instances where old tech is still perfectly fit.

I studied things without technology. I take notes on pen and paper, and i hate having to do online tests too. I like my printed documents and physical books. Many students will say the same, and i also tend to dislike the trend to digitise every and each aspect of learning. The truth out there is that analog classrooms work better than this chromebook hellhole, but many of you are not ready to hear that. Technology is also the problem.

Like the stupid duolingo pro and the pro max thing…and the pro max is just an extra fee to talk to an AI.
