“AI is not a natural phenomenon, conceived by nature; it is a technological phenomenon, conceived by venture capitalists and programmers. As such, it takes no native, intentional action, and any action or motivation is driven directly or indirectly by the entities that have built it for a purpose.”

Debates over AI consciousness are a trap

If AI systems are viewed as too advanced to control, the companies that build them can’t held liable for the harms they cause.

Grading online assignments in the age of AI has become tedious for me. Every text looks alike, every argument superficial and more frequently than not, un-original. But it still makes me happy when I come to read an original text written by a student and not by Gemini and friends.

I've said it before: I genuinely consider it a moral imperative that people my age and up bang the drum about what the Internet used to be so those younger know that there's nothing inherent about what it is now. The Internet doesn't have to be this; its culture can and has belonged to people.

A montagem reúne seis posts da AFP News Agency no X sobre crises simultâneas ao redor do mundo. O primeiro destaque é a condenação russa à ação militar dos EUA na Venezuela, acompanhada de uma imagem de incêndio e fumaça sobre uma área urbana. Os demais posts tratam de tensões globais: a morte de um membro de força paramilitar no Irã durante protestos; a morte de 14 rebeldes maoistas na Índia em operações de segurança; avanços de tropas apoiadas pela Arábia Saudita no Iêmen; e o alerta da ONG Médicos Sem Fronteiras de que poderá encerrar operações em Gaza devido a restrições impostas por Israel. As imagens associadas mostram confrontos de rua, cartazes militares, veículos e áreas destruídas, compondo um panorama de instabilidade internacional.

We also looked at institutions & nations that are producing the most surveillance. Top inst: 1.MSFT 2.CMU 3.MIT 4.Chinese Univ of Hong Kong Top nations: 1.USA 2.China 3.UK If an institution, nation or subfield authors papers with downstream patents, most are used in surveillance patents. 6/

a, Institutions and nations that have produced the most CVPR papers with downstream surveillance-enabling patents. For each institution or nation, most patented papers have been used in surveillance-enabling patents. b, Percentage of patented papers used in surveillance-enabling patents, stratified by institution, nation and subfield. For each institution, nation or subfield that has published at least ten papers with downstream patents, we show the percentage of these papers that have been used in surveillance-enabling patents (vertical grey bars) (n = 13,804, n = 18,272 and n = 19,413, respectively). We found a pervasive norm: if an institution, nation or subfield authors papers with downstream patents, most are used in surveillance-enabling patents. (Vertical grey bars are frequently above the 50% threshold; orange line). Whiskers represent the standard deviation.

perguntas que a mídia deveria fazer hoje: onde estão as imagens das câmeras corporais de todos os policiais que participaram do massacre no Rio? Não foram usadas por todos, por quê? O comando da operação impôs o uso das câmeras ou se recusou a usá-las? Se câmeras foram desligadas, quando e por quem?

Every future imagined by a tech company is worse than the previous iteration. www.cnet.com/home/securit...

Prompt AI also plans on allowing the platform to ask Seemour questions the same way Google Gemini currently operates, such as, "Where did I put my keys?" And it's planning on incorporating specific activity alerts like a dog starting to dig a hole, which we've seen pet companies like Furbo experiment with as well.

"Imagine a future where you can ask your home what happened today or inform your roommate that you've stepped out to go to the grocery store when they open the fridge," said Tete Xiao, chief executive officer and co-founder of Prompt AI. "That future is closer than you think, and we're excited to bring it to you."

Texto: Intimidação da criminalidade
O sistema ostensivo da [MARCA] inibe as atividades criminosas, já que nossos totens e compactos inteligentes intimidam os marginais e mostram que aquela área é monitorada, fazendo que escolham outras áreas para cometer crimes.

Texto: Ação policial mais eficaz
