Reply to Experts think AI could bring on the next Industrial Revolution — and some even think it could trigger nuclear war by wilfredom
It could either go really well or go horribly wrong. This and more tonight at 10. AI has been around for over 60 years, it’s just gaining more traction now. Granted since early 2010 due to significant improvements in computing power it’s significantly grown/improved.

We're doing four day weeks in the UK now, you should get you some of this as well.

It was their personal computer. Not their work workstation
> The attackers exploited a remote code execution vulnerability in a third-party media software package and planted keylogger malware on the employee’s personal computer. “The threat actor was able to capture the employee’s master password as it was entered, after the employee authenticated with MFA, and gain access to the DevOps engineer’s LastPass corporate vault,” the company said.
Problem here seems to be their personal master password being similar to their work one. Unless their personal vault also includes their work one which seems like a gigantic issue

It's still click-baity though. The US Copyright Office did not say "AI-Generated Images Do Not Qualify For Copyright Protection". It said that in this particular case, there wasn't enough evidence of creative authorship on the part of Kris Kashtanova in producing the images, so they could not register the copyright. That doesn't necessarily apply to all images generated by or with an AI model.
It does mean that people can't copyright something they made with a simple prompt that in itself wouldn't qualify for copyright, so I guess that's "news". It seems obvious to me, but perhaps not to some of the people calling themselves "AI artists". Now they know. But it's not a general decision, not even a court decision.

no.
The 9900k is a perfectly capable pairing with the 3080ti.
And yes I’ve played star citizen without any issues. Easily get a minimum of 45-75 fps on max depending on space or city. Never been below 45 for me.

Read about that before... I wonder who the moron was that allowed an employee to install a totally unnecessary software on a machine of such importance...

First of all: so what?
Second of all: give us vacation time and healthcare like Europeans have and then maybe we’ll talk about going back to the office like Europeans are supposedly doing.

The better question is HOW do you cite it? It doesn't save your texts and you can't link them for review. Can I just state whatever and say that it was ChatGPT then?

Shame we didn't take the Energy Price Guarantee £50,000,000,000 and rather give our tax directly to energy companies who've made the most profit ever, invest in more wind and solar and live in a world where energy is free and we only had to pay a daily standing charge to maintain, invest in infrastructure.
Start with *free energy for the NHS £0.5bil saved. All over 65 *free energy. Then Schools, freeing up resources for councils.
All of this is possible, all engineering challenges and energy battery storage issues are known.
Yes it's a lot of HUGE turbines at sea and 600c Molten sand to keep. And lots of new problems. Nuclear energy contracts need to playout.
The £65bil tuss lost would have been handy too.
*FREE energy is subject to infrastructure cost and your personal usage allowance tariff. Like phone data costs, to prevent coin mining and other uses this badly thumb typed bored commuter drivel doesn't cover. My stop is here. Bye.

I was doing the second of those because of your extremely condescending tone.

It works on Netflix (in my country the old Star Trek series including DS9 are still available), likely also works on Paramount+ (or whatever it's called now...
It looks slightly better than the untreated video, but obviously not really HD, TNG (which was natively made available in HD) looks still far better (which is sad, because DS9 is definitely my favourite Star Trek)

No, no they won't. Animal brain cells are too high maintenance and lack fine control. For neural net applications, we already have neural nets on-a-chip, and will continue to. They will simply become more complex, efficient, and scalable.
For non-neural net applications, they are far worse than conventional computers. Brain cells are terrible at math and precision memory.
Although this is just a spicy piece to attract grants, the research behind it is quite worthy. We won't be running programs on brain cells, but the basic research into doing so will likely advance brain-computer interfacing.

If you're okay with sailing the highest of seas, lookup Project Defiant. Someone went through the trouble of upscaling all the seasons using a combination of different methods.

I read that it happened at home, but that doesn't make anything better, imho. For something important like that, there should be a dedicated machine that is used for nothing else.
And if the employee really used the same password twice, given the company they work for, that would be unbelievably stupid.
