I believe many Amazon delivery vans have always-on 360 cameras, as well as wifi scanners for location. It's interesting they could have the most up to date mapping of anyone, I wonder if they plan to do anything with it.

Yes. As much as the idea of legacy admissions offends my personal sensibilities, they do in fact provide a good deal of value to the institutions and even some to the other students. Part of the reason Harvard is appealing is that you can r

Bonuses for above-and-beyond stuff (ie not the "bonuses" that everyone counts on) tend to vary wildly in my experience. I've gotten a very similar bonus to this for putting in a few long nights and accelerating a client deliv

How can you sign a statement that AI presents an extinction risk on par with nuclear weapons and then even consider open sourcing your research? We don't provide nuclear weapons for everyone to keep in their basement, why would someone

Companies are of course experimenting with this. And the mod communities are working on projects too. A Fallout 4 mod is using AI to voice human written options in the same voices as existing characters. And there's a couple Skyrim pro
