New from 404 Media: Meta announced Muse, its AI agent that can book restaurants for you. We've seen internal Meta messages showing Meta is actually testing having these calls being made by human beings in call centers. In those tests its not AI, it's just a person www.404media.co/meta-tests-m...

Meta Tests Muse AI Agent Calls That Are Actually Made By Humans in a Call Center

"This has potential for so much negative PR. It could portray us as ‘their AI is not good enough so they still need humans’ kind of coverage for this launch."

Effing hell! I’m really feeling for any future students who are being pushed into subjects the universities decided would be most profitable (for whom though) because literature and history apparently aren’t worth it anymore… I’m also really sad for everyone who will loose their job.

What gets me is the woman who wasn’t able to finish her degree. The one who isn’t sure if she can. The one who started a stable job and had to leave because of this behavior. How many brilliant women are stifled by the men coddled by their institutions?

Today in "this administration totally supports The Troops", service members are getting notified that their children will no longer be provided with transportation from day care to elementary school. When your work day starts at 6:15 AM, that's a problem.

there's 5 main reasons they want you to think AI is now self-aware and "goes rogue" 1. product marketing misrepresentation 2. props up insane valuations for a sector not making money 3. scares lawmakers into trash legislation 4. distracts from technofascism 5. distances execs from accountability

This whole transphobia is deeply unnecessary. So called biological or cis-women have forever skipped a long washroom queue in a club or festival and used the men’s washroom instead because it was quicker. Politicians should focus on taxing the rich and bring down living costs instead.

You’d think the Ford government would try to address food insecurity and rising prices in the whole province. Instead they’re hyper focusing on Toronto and how to best destroy its public green spaces.

When I was a little kid my aunt would sent me to a farm in her village to get fresh milk. I thought for a good while that it was raw milk since it was fresh (& warm) Turns out it was warm because the farmer had pasteurised it right after milking his cows!
