AI independent evaluator discussion reminds me of the external fact checkers for social media. Understaffed outsiders that will become beholden financially to the companies they're meant to hold accountable, with "access" greatly restricted and, eventually, taken away.

Oh my sense is that it's the former here. The guy knows full well the issues with what they're doing, but they're just going ahead with it. Also, even if it's a pic every second or several times a second, that's pretty much video at that point, they should just say it lol. bsky.app/profile/dave...

Amazon Drivers’ Smart Glasses Are Going to Be an Image Problem

Amazon is ramping up its program to give delivery drivers smart glasses. The device captures still images constantly from the moment the driver leaves his van and walks to your door, potentially thousands per shift. You can’t opt out www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Coming soon up a garden path near you: an Amazon.com Inc. driver wearing smart glasses, almost constantly taking pictures and sending them back to the company to be analyzed by humans and fed into an ...

Maybe Google will just change it when you look up OpenAI’s office in Maps?

Amazon Drivers’ Smart Glasses Are Going to Be an Image Problem

The company says images involving people will be blurred before being seen by Amazon employees, but the cameras will be on when drivers enter backyards etc to drop off packages. Read more (gift link): www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

When not in privacy mode the glasses capture an image at a resolution “equivalent or lower” than the picture you get to prove delivery. Amazon’s executive in charge of the roll out would not say how often a picture is captured. From my @opinion.bloomberg.com column:

111

The images are sent back to Amazon to inform its AI-powered logistics systems the company says will speed up delivery and reduce mistakes. One driver I spoke to who has tried the tech called it “dystopian” and questioned whether drivers will use a so-called “privacy mode”.

I'm kinda fully over that "the British conquered the world for spices and don't use any of them" joke because for one, you cannot recycle material for 5 straight generations and get a laugh worth a damn but also because in order to make it you have to agree with Tommy Robinson about who is British

Right -- and that includes all kinds of consumer-friendly moments

When talking about how Dots can handle Slack, the example given is "an innocuous ask like reconciling the launch specs."

I know this is a developers conference, but this branding is surely meant to attract regular people. Yet, as ever, OpenAI seems to assume everyone is building a tech start-up. Look at these use cases.

Also taking aim at Instinct, by allowing communication with Dots via text message or phone call.

OpenAI announces "Dots" .. it's answer to Meta's Muse (and Grok Bots). As could be expected -- they've gone the cuddly and customizable route

This exchange is peddling the sort of nonsense that happens on X every single day, only there it goes viral for an hour before a Community Note is proposed (and never actually gets published because that system is as broken as Congress).

My personal website is seeing referrals from what I presume is the members area of a Radiology website. Makes me wonder whether my recent case is being discussed there.

This kind of mess was exactly what concerned parties had in mind when warning about British sport taking in big oil money, whether from Russia or the Middle East. A corrupting force from top to bottom (which, incidentally, is exactly where City should now be sent).

The BBC News website paywall for international readers is one of the daftest business decisions the BBC has ever made. And that's saying something.

Klobuchar has Schmitt dead to rights: "The game in fact was in Maryland. For a senator to have false information & imply, based on confusion about name of a team, that you were in another city & somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia & call you a 'dirtbag' deserves an apology"
