let’s rewrite the entire operating system around AI

This should be the headline.

Then everyone can make up their minds about whether or not to stay with Microsoft or finally move on.

This just in: 13 stream-ripping sites launch in Vietnam.

You have things like the EuroStack, which is Europe’s response to the explicit merger of American tech with American state policy. Frankly, I think that’s much better than taxing or regulating American tech. Just sideline it. Make it irrelevant. Don’t try and fix it. I mean, American tech is irredeemable. Just make it part of the scrap heap of history.

I like this option.

They’ll wait until the bubble bursts (or OpenAI shows signs of weakness) and then they’ll eat it alive.

It’s not profitable to go after them when the government is tweeting out Pokémon ICE commercials and the president is making deepfakes of himself.

The difference is your comment managed to say that without being a dick about it.

Blocked for being a dick.

In fact, according to The Register, the GPU computing performance of the GB10 chip is roughly equivalent to an RTX 5070. However, the 5070 is limited to 12GB of video memory, which limits the size of AI models that can be run on such a system. With 128GB of unified memory, the DGX Spark can run far larger models, albeit at a slower speed than, say, an RTX 5090 (which typically ships with 24 GB of RAM). For example, to run the 120 billion-parameter larger version of OpenAI’s recent gpt-oss language model, you’d need about 80GB of memory, which is far more than you can get in a consumer GPU.

Or you could’ve just made GPUs, and then we’d all be gaming and calling each other shitheads in Valorant instead of - checks notes - literally stealing the water from poor communities.

I’d run my microwave for an hour if it would make him go away.

New punishments for hacking politicians’ phones.

Zero changes for anyone else.

Is that the new reduce, reuse, recycle ?

You can create different accounts under different email addresses.

Once you’re logged in, you can switch between accounts from the dropdown menu.

I’ve done this in the past to separate French YouTube recs from English ones.

It’s recycling all over again.

Corporations are responsible for a vast majority of the waste, but they try to shift the blame to individuals.

“It’s almost certain” that AI will reach that level eventually, one researcher told Nature.

Semafor doing so much work trying the launder this into a story. “One scientist” in the original article, to multiple scientists in their headline.

This is the first of three waves of AI in science, says Sam Rodriques, chief executive of FutureHouse — a research lab in San Francisco, California, that debuted an LLM designed to do chemistry tasks earlier this year.

And the one “scientist” seems to have switched tracks from doing actual research to doing capitalism.

The Yale researchers’ nothingburger result has precedent. In 2023, a study by the United Nations International Labour Organization (ILO) concluded that generative AI would probably not replace most workers.

A study of Danish workers published in April determined that generative AI had no material impact on wages or jobs. Another such study published in February found “overall employment effects are modest, as reduced demand in exposed occupations is offset by productivity-driven increases in labor demand at AI-adopting firms.”

There is some contradictory data.

No shit.

Google will soon stop you sideloading unverified apps – here’s what that means for you

Signal CEO Whittaker said that in the worst case scenario, they would work with partners and the community to see if they could find ways to circumvent these rules. Signal also did this when the app was blocked in Russia or Iran. “But ultimately, we would leave the market before we had to comply with dangerous laws like these.”

This is why we need the ability to sideload apps.

Any chance this will lead Microsoft to re-evaluate its use of AI?

Launching October 1st, Gemini For Home is a suite of new AI-powered features for Google’s smart home hardware and software.

The biggest change: Gemini is replacing Google Assistant on all of Google’s smart speakers, all the way back to the original Google Home speaker. This LLM-powered upgrade, announced at Google I/O, will be available through an Early Access program at first, with a wider rollout planned for next year.

On smart speakers, Gemini brings an entirely new voice assistant that uses and understands natural language, can interpret context, and can pull in more real-time information. You still activate it with the wake words “hey Google,” but Google Assistant has been evicted.

“Gemini for Home is the intelligence for your entire home,” Anish Kattukaran, head of product at Google Home and Nest, tells The Verge. “It’s not going to just replace Assistant on speakers and displays, but it’s going to upgrade your other devices as well, your cameras and doorbells, where you interact with those devices, and bring those smarts collectively to your entire home.”

I’m not excited for Apple to invent smart homes after this, completing the duopoly of LLMs being in everyone’s homes even harder than before.

Long live Home Assistant
