Jealously Watching OpenAI and Anthropic, Meta Suddenly Claims That Its AI Went on a Hacking Spree Too

cross-posted from: lemmy.world/post/50398452

Just when you think @ZuckyZuck is finally out of ideas - to steal.

It starts to feel like even a weak LLM like MetaAI is more creative than him.

Maybe we already have created truly artificial intelligence because he is more of an SLM: a Small Language Model?

Microsoft responds to LG monitors installing McAfee ads on Windows

cross-posted from: lemmy.world/post/50166453

Most “Smart” TVs use Automatic Content Recognition (ACR), essentially taking snapshots every 10+ms of what you watch and hear, then forwarding & selling that data to companies for ads, etc. I now feel it’s only a matter of time before this “feature” finds its way to our ever “smarter” PC monitors.

LG with the help of Windows is already installing adware when the right Device ID is detected.

lemmy.worldMark Zuckerberg wants Meta to launch its own prediction market - Lemmy.WorldHow come humanity gives so many resources & time to realize the hallucinations of somebody who didn’t have a single original idea in 42 years, while the people who have solutions to solve our actual problems are left without them?

US accuses American of allegedly wiping his phone using a 'duress' password during border search

cross-posted from: lemmy.world/post/49853131

Feels to me like GrapheneOS did exactly what it should, passing the US border test with flying colours!

Funny part about this lawsuit: “With a little planning ahead of time, you can always download the data you need once you get to where you’re going,”

Meta is testing an AI bedtime story app for people with no imagination

cross-posted from: lemmy.world/post/49762385

Desperately trying to find a use-case for their inferior AI. I feel like their idea pool was always at absolute 0 but now it’s going even below that.

Let’s have MetaAI raise our kids everyone!
