I don’t think its fair to categorize a game like this as “precluding” any group of people as if it excludes them based on a bias. Every game cannot be for everyone. If I am particularly impatient, certain games may not be for me, or if I don’t like chaotic/loud games I wouldn’t enjoy CoD...that doesn’t mean I’m being…

These clickbait headlines kill me. Is anything illegal happening? No, although that would certainly make for a great article. Is this about a push to change tax law? No, but that would certainly be interesting.

I always struggle with terms like “malfunctioning.” Is that accurate? It seems more likely that the AI was doing exactly what it was trained on. Even the response back to the king prompt, it is being very transparent that “striving for...inclusivity,” even though that’s not what the prompt asked for and is irrelevant…

Couldn’t the relationship with Amazon, being a large stakeholder, help cover this? I feel like Amazon’s investment in Rivian means they want/need them to succeed and could renegotiate more favorable terms, etc. to avoid it appearing that they’re losing a ton on each vehicle. I’m purely guessing though.

Fair point. Ultimately I am honing in on “bias” vs. “technical realities.” If I have a hard time seeing a dark-skinned person at night in low light, I’m not “biased,” I’m simply experiencing a very explainable human limitation. I figured it was possible the same challenge could exist in this tech space.

Is it not plausible that there could be technical challenges in identifying those two categories of people? A dark-skinned person in low light would seem to present a pretty obvious challenge vs. a subject that is presenting more contrast against the background. I realize training data introduces all sorts of bias,…

Little bit of a product plug, but my wife and I have fallen in love with our replacement: Yellowbird’s Blue Agave Sriracha. We love every other Yellowbird sauce as well, but her favorite is definitely the sriracha....to the point that we wouldn’t even buy Huy Fong if it ever comes back. Might be worth a try for those…

I don’t think its accurate to claim that Google is promoting it for uses to others that it won’t also recommend to its employees. Bard and ChatGPT make it clear that answers may be inaccurate or misleading, etc. I bet if a Google employee said they wanted to use Bard to kick off some research on a topic, there would…

This seems entirely reasonable and barely newsworthy. A company provided extremely reasonable guidance to its employees. I don’t think Google ever promoted Bard to other companies as a great tool for employees to input sensitive data into, so its not like they’re hipocrites. Its basic cyber hygiene.

Isn’t this necessary? I have asked ChatGPT, for example, many “controversial” questions to which it responds “some may argue that _____” or “on the flip side, some groups may believe _____.” (after making the usual “I am only a Natural Language blah blah spiel). While WikiPedia probably could meet the demand for a lot…

Putting aside whether the Twitter thing is defensible, is this article really trying to draw a comparison between the implications of government-funded media vs. a car manufacturer and a government contractor? What exactly is the point of making that comparison, they’re comically apples and oranges. I would obviously…

Two-factor authentication was made only for Twitter Blue users in February.

One additional use that is a little hard to distinguish from the others is: letting the person know that one/multiple of their lights are out. I have personally had one horror story related to having a tail light out, so its close to my heart. My hope is that after the person checks and sees that their lights are on,…

I really hate when articles like this don’t clarify “New York City” vs. “New York.”

The deaths were barely related to the trend, IMO. Those 6 kids could have chosen to steal the Kia, perform the “challenge” and abandon the car a block away and it still would have been a “success.” Instead, 6 people piled into a 5-car (and 5-seatbelt) vehicle, get on an Expressway, likely traveled far above the speed…

Unbelievable. These people have no shame.

If you have a legitimate gripe with this.....I can’t even. Regardless of the individual, if during a serious crisis you expect/hope/want/whatever the US Secret Service to even *think* of an animal, you are beyond saving.

How is that not “diverse?” It represents the US population extremely closely, and the only ways that it misses is by over-representing the non-white population. So, assuming this product is targeting US customers, it seems like they’re driving their testing based off of census data....which feels reasonable to me.

I would love to know if anyone reading this article, or outraged at this new information, would turn down a “tax avoidance strategy” if they were made aware of it. Let’s say you’re filling out your Turbo Tax forms and it makes a simple recommendation “Based on _____ criteria, you’re eligible for a significant…

This article is pure libel. The author presents zero evidence that Ellie has any ties to anything remotely racist. She at one point in her life attended a fair that almost certainly had already had its name changed, and how many 12 year olds are actively researching the potential racist history of everything they do…
