That's how I feel about all of these such things developed by big companies.

I personally think the ability for a company to implement AI solutions is a bit overstated in discussions. Having worked across multiple industries in my career, I’ve rarely seen companies ready to integrate/implement even simple softw

Oh it’s a willful disconnect. Have you ever asked a job if they’d be willing to pay relocation expenses? They know how expensive/difficult it is.

I had the same reaction as the OP. I’m not a data scientist by trade or title, but I would personally be a little offended. If you designed the Porsche 911, would you not be offended by the shade tree mechanic who simply knows how to change

Smells like regulatory capture. Also, how are the same dinosaurs that fumbled the other tech hearings going to comprehend (let alone robustly define) “AI”?

This whole time I thought my value was in the service and expertise I offer. Little did I know it was really my physical proximity to people I don’t even regularly interact with.

Also, in a world with nuclear proliferation, an LLM seems a bit minuscule in terms of “dangerous technologies”

You expect too much out of the 1. The incredibly psychopathic tech oligarchs and 2. Microsoft, who has an equally questionable moral/ethical standing that seems to worsen by the day.

This is like the "free" vs free debate that has been raging for decades and prompted the famous quote "“free” as in “free speech,” not as in “free beer.”".

I mean, most AI technologies are already considered ITAR for the sole sake of maintaining a competitive advantage. At least, that's what my last two employers have told me and I hope I didn't go through all of that training for no

I know (hope) this is satire, but this is why I take issue with the AI branding. It too often gets conflated with the sci-fi thinking of AI. A random forest model that calculates your credit score isn't going to magically gain self-awa

With that, I'm honestly surprised GDPR ever even became a thing at all.

A mile or so away from Argo’s former location in Pittsburgh, there’s the national robotics engineering center: a commercial unit within Carnegie Mellon University. Rotting away amongst all their other former creations is a truck with specia

It’s like a padlock. Won’t keep people who try hard enough out, but will keep most modest efforts out. Also, this would prevent a detection from occurring at all, so there wouldn’t be an anomaly any more than a trash can not being detected

These weak sauce sources are better than any (read: none) sources you've been so kind as to share. To your point, I am better at mindful activities when I'm alone in my quiet home office with a comfortable chair than I am in a noi

The negative sentiment is in the being forced to return to office then, in the same stroke, diminishing the quality of the in-office experience.

It couldn’t possibly be that the CEO is out of touch with the reality of their workers’ daily lives or they simply enjoy flexing their power, right?
