Technology@lemmy.world•Kansas City Pushes Ahead With Facial Recognition on BusesEnglish
1·4 days agoIt’s sad to say but you get used to it, just like you get used to crazy people on the road. It’s actually better because the person isn’t operating a ton of metal at 60 mph. Also you can hear/see the crazy ones and try to keep your distance, whereas on the road some guy could be yelling that he’s going to kill you for going a bit too slow and you won’t know until he cuts you off dangerously close. Like others have said statistically your always way safer on a bus then in a car.

Technology@lemmy.world•The fight against AI datacenters isn’t just about tech – it’s about democracy - Claims of nimbyism are a misunderstanding: the movement is about whether regular people have a say in fundamental decis…English
3·9 days agoThe article is partially a response to this article from jacobin which makes some good points, chief of which the author doesn’t really address in that they’ll just be built somewhere else. There will always be some city or state or country that will allow them being built and this sort of NIMBY activism only really protects the better off people who have the free time to attend city hall meetings.
Also the author seems to equate the means with the end. The jacobin article is criticizing the end goal being a blanket moratorium instead of regulation targeting the harms. It doesn’t say anything about the means, but the author of this one equates there criticism of the movements aims to be an elitist criticism of the grassroots organizing of the movement, which I assume the jacobin author would be more then fine with as long as it’s directed towards reasonable goals.

I doubt this will continue, more then half of the silicon valley workforce are immigrants or foreign born, and most of them have become dependent on AI. Just like the h1b issue trumps going to have to roll this back once thiel and the rest of the silicon valley billionaires tell him to.

7·14 days agoSex work back then was, I think, a lot more about the sex act.
Nah, there has been a sort of “escort / hooker distinction” forever. In ancient greece they had pornai who were mostly slaves used almost exclusively for sex, and hetaira who were educated and usually free(libra not gratis) and were even allowed in symposiums(salons). There’s always been class distinctions with sex work.

Technology@lemmy.world•Researchers Put AI Models in Charge of a Simulated Society. Grok Oversaw a Crime SpreeEnglish
9·28 days agoAs I was reading I was wondering why they weren’t using the top line models, they used sonnet instead of opus, gpt mini, Gemini flash etc. They really buried the lead on this one, last sentence:
They recommend “formally verified safety architectures” as a solution. You’ll be shocked to learn that Emergence happens to offer just such a thing!
So this company set up the test so that the AI would fail so they could sell you on there guardrail software. Even then the article says sonnet did pretty well.

I guess 2016 was the height of the Obama era and there was still the slightest push to try and get minorities in high positions. Now anything that can help them has been deemed “woke” and defunded.
