Wow, a mouse with an extra button that can only be used to launch some process which opens up a window to ChatGPT. What a great use of AI!

It looks like this is an invite only feature through their “Creator Bonus Program”.

You can take that line even further,

What if only the intro fanfare was created with AI?

What if only one creature in the film is created with AI and everything else was done using pre-AI tech?

What if certain body parts of that creature were generated with AI, but the rest was then created/merged normally?

What if an overall shape was initially created with AI, but then the artist just used this as a base to start from and spent more time reworking it to their intended vision and no part was left untouched?

What if a green screen was used, and then AI was used to touch up the edges around the subject and the background?

What if AI was used to help brainstorm some ideas by the writer (as in they didn’t just copy/paste the output from the LLM)?

The list of apps that were found to have this malware:

• AirFS
• Astro Explorer
• Amber
• CryptoPulsing
• Brain Matrix

If you live in El Salvador you can pay your taxes in bitcoin… that makes it a “real currency” according to your test.

I would much rather users on here not manipulate titles to make it sound worse than what the actual article is claiming. It’s intentionally misleading.

There’s more to “AI” than just ChatGPT…

I think you’re mixing up what AI actually means here, you would probably like this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGIpdiQrFDU

But in brief, what about DLSS? The ML models for that get improved with every driver update.

STT models like whisper that are great at transcribing/translating.

Object recognition models for drones to keep the camera centered on you and for object avoidance.

ML models for finding new cures.

Models in astronomy for finding planets… Etc.

You’re trying to tell me that everything “AI” is trash and not getting better?

I don’t think you realize just how widely used some of those other models are… For instance, in gaming, DLSS is supported with every Nvidia GPU starting with the 20 series and up.

DLSS uses multiple machine learning models for things like predicting object/pixel movement, generating new frames between what you would normally be able to achieve, and then upscaling that image. Which is also why you want to download the latest drivers since those models are better trained for the more recently released games.

I wouldn’t call that a “small fraction” by any means.

But, maybe your referring to the amount of focus that the news has on LLMs like ChatGPT?

Ah, then I’ll refer you to Poe’s Law:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe’s_law

What about DLSS? What about machine learning for identifying new planets? ML Models for discovering new medicines? Object avoidance for drones? Transcribing and translating different languages?

AI is way bigger than just some Large Language Models.

I thought for sure it was going to be this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2VDLYWi5ck&t=50s

That GitHub “archive here” link leads to a page where it hasn’t been archived… (or was the archive removed??).

They expanded the initial recall. It affects models from 2017 to 2022. If you read the linked article I previously provided, then you missed the key point that vehicles were still bursting into flames even after the recall.

Expanded recall: https://gmauthority.com/blog/2021/09/gm-asking-chevy-bolt-ev-owners-to-park-50-feet-away-from-other-vehicles/

GM stopped replacing the batteries of the newer models and instead offered a software solution that would monitor the batteries for any issues and allow the vehicle to charge beyond the 80% limit that they had set because of these issues. https://electrek.co/2023/06/14/bolt-battery-recall-diagnostics/

But it’s worth noting that this software update has failed to prevent some fires, so the problem isn’t really “fixed” even with this: https://electrek.co/2021/07/08/chevy-bolt-ev-catches-on-fire-after-receiving-both-of-gm-software-fixes/

I would avoid used Bolts, especially because of all the issues those have had with going up in flames.

Hopefully they’ve fixed those issues in the newest models…

I think I was thrown off by the “trackpad” example that was given above. That would have been a bit more complex than just a simple button press (which is still doable in low level firmware) but I was curious how they would pull it off.

I looked up what “solid state buttons” are and it makes a lot more sense now. This isn’t like some trackpad you can swipe along the endge, they’re still buttons in separate locations, just not in the mechanical clicking sense that we’re used to.

You could also use something like GrayJay, I’ve been using it for a while now and haven’t had any issues with it.

despite the fact that hosting images is orders of magnitude less bandwith and storage requiring than videos.

In general, yes, when comparing images/video of the same resolution. But if I compare an 8k image to a low quality video with low FPS, I can easily get a few minutes worth of video compared to that one picture.

As you said, it definitely costs money to keep these services running. What’s also important is how well they are able to compress the video/images into a smaller size without losing out on too much quality.

Additionally, with the way ML models have made their way into frame generation (such as DLSS) I wouldn’t be surprised if we start seeing a new compressed format that removes frames from a video (if they haven’t started doing it already).

My one concern is, what do I do if the phone freezes up?
With physical buttons there is a hardware bypass so I can force the phone to reset.
With a “trackpad” I’m not as confident it will register those touches correctly when the OS has seized up.
I’m assuming they’ll have something figured out at the hardware level, but I’m curious what that will be.

I think when you say “Hates AI” you mean “Hates ChatGPT”

“AI” itself has a lot of awesome uses, ML models with DLSS, robots that can maneuver over different terrain, image generation, audio transcription, etc.

Even with LLMs, I’m fine with them as long as I was the one that was able to pick and choose the model as well as the software to use to run it.
