Your cat must have quite the appetite to eat a whole roomba.

Basically digital dropshipping.

That would only work for their own slop though. Anthropic cannot recognize Google’s watermark, only theirs.

I assumed the goal might be so they could check whether other models have been trained on their output. Like anthropic using that as a “proof” when they start whining again about Chinese “distillation attacks”.

Of course, since they’re the only ones able to check their watermark, it would be rather shit as evidence anyway. “We’ve run the numbers, and we know you can’t, but trust us, this chatbot is totally copying ours!”

It’s practically not of any use to end-users. It’s a tool made by the AI company for themselves, to be able to claim a specific text was generated from their model.

Probability becomes a non-problem the longer the scanned text is.

I was not sure how any of this worked, and those interactive demos along with the explanation are quite helpful.

Also a very important point made about this not being a generic AI detector at all, and only being available to the model creator.

There was a time random people could become “ridiculously photogenic” or “good guy” with luck.

Sorry dude, you’re “pervert glasses”.

I am relatively tech literate and I have troubles remembering every canal I have to use to join all of my contacts. I have like 6 or 7 different ones.

Meanwhile, my father can’t remember one password to save his life, and my grandfather tries answering the phone on a TV remote. Good luck with that.

There’s an app, Petit Computer/SmileBasic, available on Nintendo consoles since the DSi and Wii (then had 3DS, wii U and switch version). It’s a programming language that has a lot of features using the target console’s input/output capabilities (touch screen, 3D, gyroscopes, etc).

On 3DS there was a feature to share files (code, image…) through the app’s server, but some wanted to be able to share their stuff in other ways, so they didn’t depend on the app server or so they could share locally with a PC for example.

Someone made a modem kind of program with it to transform the file into a sound sequence, emit it, receive it on another device through mic and retransform it to file. Max transfer rate 92 bytes per second with error checking.

He’s working hard on destroying that one, don’t worry. The quest experience has only gotten worse with every update.

I was like “wait, weren’t there people measuring the Earth-Moon distance with lasers?” so I had to check…

en.wikipedia.org/…/Lunar_Laser_Ranging_experiment…

At the Moon’s surface, the beam is about 6.5 kilometers (4.0 mi) wide

Oh.

Anthropic writes a shitty roleplay every other week and somehow it still makes the news.

They say we shouldn’t attribute to malice what could be attributed to stupidity, let’s try that :

“Wait, people searching for books don’t like that we help destroy real books en masse to feed the infinite fake book machines? Oh, my bad, we hadn’t realized, we’re not doing that then.”

Yeah, I’m not absolutely convinced.

Zeitz wrote that he hosted the party to meet “exceptional people” and find out if they were “just as crazy as we are.”

“You know what would be reeeally crazy, dude? What if you got an ad for my company permanently etched on your skin? So quirky and fun, just like someone I might hire ! Just saying.”

This is absolutely pathetic. Love the way they have no idea what to do with their arms, but desperately try to do something anyway, at a glacial pace, I assume because any faster could throw them off-balance… And they just end up stuck in the most awkward, unnatural poses anyway.

The clanker in the pic is from a CES demo. I did not see whose skin the classroom terminator is supposed to wear but it is supposed to have dark hair.

Fediverse needs that. There’s just not enough people to attain the one cool thing about reddit, that was having a couple people create communities around basically any niche hobby you could think of.

Only very generic topics or ultra-popular stuff get some traction, and in many cases it’s barely a blip.

I respect the effort someone put into making that acronym. That must be a fun job.
