I am not nearly invested enough if something doesn't pop up as a headline.

Person they brought in on a BBC business show yesterday was effusive about paying $200 a month (or something like that) to research for him instead of needing to hire someone for $80k per year. Hated how some reporters and economists didn't understand what AI did.

Never mentioner needing to check for hallucinations or the like (not sure what he was using).

Did agree with the other guest that he was certainly not ready to trust a self driving car.

Academic authors 'shocked' after Taylor & Francis sells access to their research to Microsoft AI

Authors claim they have not been told about the AI deal, were not given the opportunity to opt out and are receiving no extra payment.

www.thebookseller.com

"Authors have expressed their shock after the news that academic publisher Taylor & Francis, which owns Routledge, had sold access to its authors’ research as part of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) partnership with Microsoft—a deal worth almost £8m ($10m) in its first year."

Saw an article on automated cabs in Wuhan charging 50 cents or something like that, instead of the cost of paying an actual human.

Gotta wonder how anyone will afford anything when nobody has work, but I'm sure OpenAI has an answer.

Saw an article on automated cabs in Wuhan charging 50 cents or something like that, instead of the cost of paying an actual human.

That's only impressive if you don't know how much a normal cab fare is there. And the price is obviously going to shoot up the moment they drive human drivers out of business (and they're already getting government subsidies for the current prices) which is what happened every other time.

And given the number of incidents those cabs have caused this really isn't something to celebrate.

There have also been complaints from residents in Wuhan about traffic jams, as driverless cars fail to respond to traffic lights. Earlier this month, one robotaxi ran a red light and crashed into a pedestrian, state-run paper People’s Daily reported.

This isn't progress, this is just another example of how corrupt and crooked this is.
