Cool read but I don’t see the link to technology.

That’s stupid.

an added NPU

cmiiw but I don’t think NPUs are meant to be used on general-purpose personal computers. A GPU makes more sense.

NPUs are meant for specialised equipment e.g. object detection in a camera (not the personal-use kind)

Not adding anything useful to the discussion, but the “ban” in kanban is board 😅

So kanban board is like chai tea.

Nevermind. You got me. Well-played.

It’s mentioned in the article.

Did you generate this comment with a LLM for irony?

yet further down, IBM alone has replaced “hundreds” of HR employees with AI. Which is it?

The article is implying that claims like these are bogus, no?

Capital Economics analysts warned that some firms use AI as cover for cuts driven by poor financial performance. “For some firms, AI is a way to spin job losses driven by poor financial performance in a more positive light,” they wrote.

The AI job apocalypse narrative serves multiple purposes: it justifies hiring freezes, explains away poor financial performance, and creates urgency around AI adoption.

I suspected as much too: that the people in-charge are using AI as a scapegoat so that the anger that would have been directed at them gets turned towards AI instead.

Given that there’s a vocal minority of Lemmings who blindly hate AI, I’d say their propaganda has definitely found at least some success.

The field of artificial general intelligence has been around for something like 70 years, and has made a really modest amount of progress in that time, on the scale of what they’re trying to do.

I daresay it would stay this way until we figure out what intelligence is.

Artificial Intelligent is supposed to be intelligent.

For the record, AI is not supposed to be intelligent.

It just has to appear intelligent. It can be all smoke-and-mirrors, giving the impression that it’s smart enough - provided it can perform the task at hand.

That’s why it’s termed artificial intelligence.

The subfield of Artificial General Intelligence is another story.

keep cooking

How is it that we are only learning about this now💀

It’s like how vaccinations protect us from illnesses.

I still remember Geoff Hinton’s criticisms of backpropagation.

IMO it is still remarkable what NNs managed to achieve: some form of emergent intelligence.

ITT: people who obviously did not study computer science or AI at at least an undergraduate level.

Y’all are too patient. I can’t be bothered to spend the time to give people free lessons.

You’ve hit the nail on the head.

Personally, I wish that there’s more progress in our understanding of human intelligence.

If this is legit, it’s going to be revolutionary.

There is currently a labor crunch in the anime industry due to its unattractive working conditions. A 2024 report by the Nippon Anime and Film Culture Association showed that workers were overworked and underpaid, with hourly rates below the country’s minimum wage being common.

TLDR: money
