Technology@lemmy.world•Delivery robots keep crashing into bus sheltersEnglish
5·20 hours agoJust watched the video. It’s hilarious that it breaks the glass, pauses for a few awkward moments, bats its eyes, backs up, then just sits there batting its eyes.

6·21 hours agoThere’s a kid’s book called Positive Ninja where the advice is to reframe situations using the word yet. As in, I haven’t been successful in accomplishing this yet. With this kind of positive thinking going around, those robots better have a care. 😉
NewPipe excels at this task.
In most cases, not all that much. YouTube is mainly useful for getting views and building an audience. It’s a combination of revenue sources like sponsors, merchandise, donations, etc., that really make it worthwhile for creators.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•If I shared a home with a 36' tall, 2-ton creature, I would be very careful to stay away from its feet while it walked
5·2 days agoMy cat is always trying to trip me. Then again, she looks and acts like one of her parents was an African wildcat straight from the savanna. Even when she’s being purry and cuddly laying in my nook, she keeps trying to lovingly bite my face off and when I play with her, she does backflips several feet into the air trying to catch whatever toy I’m animating for her. Little creature is half wild!

Technology@lemmy.world•Anthropic says its latest AI model is too powerful for public release and that it broke containment during testingEnglish
6·2 days agoYawn, we all know how this goes. So what model am I not supposed to use? I’ll be sure and avoid it, though I’d much rather avoid downloading their leaked weights like I avoid other things I’m not supposed to download.
The studies about intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation suggest otherwise, and that monetary rewards can even have a negative impact on productivity and creativity. Ultimately, we want a society of intrinsically motivated people doing their best, most inspired work, not a society following financial incentives.

Technology@lemmy.world•Claude AI down: Anthropic users hit with errors as chatbot goes offlineEnglish
3·3 days agoClearly SaaS isn’t working out, so just open source all the frontier models and stop building data centers so we can all buy our own GPUs.
I often fall asleep watching Columbo on Jellyfin. It’s a nice, calming, make-believe world where elite douchebags get their just deserts.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It should be "as the duck flies", not "as the crow flies".
3·4 days agoDon’t ducks have specific migratory flyaways, so it’s more akin to commercial airlines in that they fly specific routes seasonally? Other than that, I assume they primarily fly between bodies of water. “As the duck flies” would therefore assume that a duck would even fly the route in question, when in fact, a crow may be more likely to fly it than a duck.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Target Warns That If Its AI Shopping Agent Makes an Expensive Mistake, You'll Have to Pay for It
3·5 days agoSure, but AI engineers are well aware of that fact (or should be) and there are ways to limit the potential damage, like human in the middle, especially for purchases over a certain threshold. Overall, a system like this like this should never really be trusted to make purchases without the customer approving each purchase.
Then again, if you’re going to approve every purchase, I’m not sure how it really saves time. If it is purchasing without approval, the first time it buys something you didn’t want and you have to battle Target to get it refunded will negate any time savings. Largely seems like AI for the sake of AI.

1·5 days agoYeah, the series definitely overstayed it’s welcome.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Target Warns That If Its AI Shopping Agent Makes an Expensive Mistake, You'll Have to Pay for It
22·5 days agoHow is an AI agent any different than any other software just because it does inference with a LLM? If I order something from their website and I get overcharged due to a bug, are they also not responsible? It’s not like agents can’t be tested or like guardrails can’t be put into place.
I know as a software engineer, I’m responsible for the code in any PR that has my name on it, regardless of what tools I may have used to generate the code, including AI. Are their dev teams not responsible for making sure their shit works?

6·5 days agoReminds me of this classic Andy Griffith Show scene from the Opie and the Bully episode.
“So you want to fight? Step across this line. Alright, knock this off my shoulder, I dare you. So you wanna fight huh? Just step inside this circle.” 😆

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft says Copilot is for entertainment purposes only, not serious use — firm pushing AI hard to consumers and businesses tells users not to rely on it for important adviceEnglish
8·5 days agoI can see where an AI that fucks everything up all the time might be entertaining like a good slapstick comedy, but nah, Resident Evil Requiem is sufficient entertainment for now.



I would’ve assumed it would be made from plexiglass.
