Some kind of time switch to make the router reboot at regular intervals. Then hope that this prevents the factory reset.

Oh, ok, maybe.

I wasn’t about actual layoffs, but the threatening, which is a strong tradition at this company.

How many people have they threatened to lay off because of it?

Dark patterns killed my wife

For unknown reasons, I stopped reading the headline at this point for about 3 seconds…

Well, if you want to argue against it, you could use the above-mentioned 50% as your argument.

These 50% can be spelled out as “inefficiency”.

These 50% mean that the whole thing needs to build twice as many wind turbines and twice as many solar fields in the first place. They need to generate twice the energy only for satisfying the inefficiency of their battery.

(No, it is not exactly true. They generate the better part of the wind and solar energy for feeding the data center, and only a fraction of the generated energy goes into the battery)

When oxygen from the air passes over small pieces of iron inside the battery, the iron rusts and produces electricity. To recharge the battery, an electric current removes the oxygen from the rust, turning it back into iron

Every week we can read about some new & exotic chemical processes that can (maybe, hopefully 😇) be used for batteries… but “the iron and the rust”, that is old.

So: Why haven’t we heard of any iron-rust-batteries before?

Form’s iron-air batteries are heavier and less efficient than their counterparts; they can only return about 50% to 70% of the energy used to charge them

Oh. Damn.

So, that’s why, I guess. 50% sounds terrible.

almost three times as cheap

Oops? Now we are in business again? Maybe, hopefully 😇

I really find it interesting.

So, Windows AND another malware?

but isn’t Grok the most biased

ftfy

He doesn’t say anything about breaking a signed contract

Ofc he wouldn’t say that, especially if it’s true LOL

Dario Amodei […] said he does not want the company’s A.I. to be used to surveil Americans or in autonomous weapons, saying this could “undermine, rather than defend, democratic values.”

This is absolutely reasonable and I support this position.

Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI, said in a memo to employees this week that “we have long believed that A.I. should not be used for mass surveillance or autonomous lethal weapons.”

But I don’t trust this guy who shows regularly that he wants to be the ruler of the whole world by means of his own AI.

Asimov’s three laws of robotics.

They will come back, because we haven’t developed anything fundamentally better.

Would you prefer

Not at all!

I like serious publications very much, and I was also well humored by all these shoutings about revolutions…

Admins exist, and they talk.

They’re fucking crap. There’s no building an economy around these things.

You are right in every serious part of the world.

But add “venture capital” to the equation and it works out stronger than anything else so far.

Finally a new one!

It was too quiet during the whole last year. But before, we had about 2 revolutionary new battery technologies every week.

Then the public wants to know where that hole in the director’s foot comes from.

How come some 25yo person is a director at Facebook?

Maybe she has met the Suckerberg at some time when she was … younger?

If I was the director of AI safety, […] would never tell a soul.

As a director of something, you are kinda public person. No way to just not tell.

Apologies mean “I made a mistake and I learned from it so it won’t repeat.”

If only some people meant it that way too!

provide factory-recertified drives

Recertified drives are like used cars with odometers reset to zero.

What kind of idiot would buy them?
