Disagree, I worked in Security, when doing break ins it will be loved by crims as they will know it further helps hide their face. Hoodies draw attention and concern when worn and it does not fit the weather but crims do it to hide hair colour etc.. they wear sunglasses when not needed unless to hide facial features. If I was going to break into a factory, this would be what I wore now

Why? I mean fundamentally, sure, but why are you entering anything into an AI chatbot that you wouldn't want its creator to have? How do they guarantee the AI is properly generating those data reports without making sure it actually understands what is being said? What makes this a big deal?
This seems like a non-issue and a non-story to me. Security fears? Stop typing important shit into it.

This makes me so sick. I tried for a long time to get my work noticed. I'm not Eugene Smith or anything, but it's interesting at least.
This is fucking bullshit.

To... what?
I read the article, I just still don't get what markets they could meaningfully penetrate. It's a pretty vague reboot.

The problem here is that the technology development and engineering required to stand up a solar plant is:
Step one. Throw the panel on the ground.
Step two. Power comes out.

the hell does "retina level display" even mean? Are they trying to compare the clarity of the screens to Apple Retina displays or is something else entirely?

>Employers including JP Morgan and Amazon have banned or restricted staff use of ChatGPT, which uses similar technology, amid concerns that sensitive information could be fed into the bot.
Sure, dont copy/paste your presentation to the board of directors with financial numbers into ChatGPT. But code with an error in it shouldn't be a problem.

>I live in Bavaria and our mushrooms are still radioactive.
Everything is radioactive my guy. If you brought a pallet of bananas into a nuclear plant it would have to be disposed of as nuclear waste due to the radiation level. Regardless, Chernobyl killed less people than coal plants do every day. And it's much less an indictment of nuclear as it is Communism and the Soviet Union. No reactor like that is currently operating.

No criminal would use this because it calls attention to you.

As security I would just rewatch videos of the previous week/month to find you without the LED strobe turned on. Those security systems have 2/4/8x speeds so it would be really fast to check.

> Quite frankly a lot of nuclear regulations DECREASE safety
Name one
> Chemical leaks are a daily occurrence to the point they rarely make the news.
Maybe in the US...
> The regulations against radiation are thousands of times stricter than those against most chemical carcinogens
Again, something that might be a US thing
> Even the worst case scenario with nuclear you're talking tens of deaths. Lots of chemical spills have killed thousands and they kill hundreds of thousands in terms of long term exposures.
Oh, so nuclear accidents have no long term effect now. Nice.
Sure, nuclear appears to be quite safe nowadays, but let's not pretend that a major accident has less consequences than chemical spills. I live in Bavaria and our mushrooms are still radioactive.

Honestly, they should just drop the ball on smartphones. Thr current models are an embarrassment and an insult to what Nokia used to be.
I will forever hate Microsoft for driving the brand to shit and for actively sabotaging and killing a much needed third mobile OS. MeeGo kicked ass and was way better than fucking Windows Mobile.
So, so ahead in many aspects (design, gestures).

This used to work incredibly well with smartphone cameras, but I believe they've corrected algorithms some years before, and it doesn't wipe it out completely like it used to. Not sure about infrared specific cameras though.

I do see a debatable difference, but I wouldn’t call it a big difference. It should be expected that if your data is being mined, someone may be reading what you type.

It might make your face hard to see but if you're the only one wearing this then you're now super easy to track. Which means I can track you back to your vehicle or where you turned the lights on and see your face or where you came from or where you went.

The specifications for a naval reactor are completely different than a power reactor. It simply wouldn't work well for this application.

you can absolutely tell. maybe in the beginning when AI stuff was just coming out it was hard to tell because we didn’t know what to look for. but now it’s super obvious if you’ve seen enough images.

Uhh, no. There's Billions spent to engineer better solar panels. The cost of solar 20 years ago was 10x what it is now.
