Leading AI Scientists Warn AI Could Escape Control at Any Moment (futurism.com)
 

"Experts agree these AI systems are likely to be developed in the coming decades, with many of them believing they will arrive imminently," the IDAIS statement continues. "Loss of human control or malicious use of these AI systems could lead to catastrophic outcomes for all of humanity."

5G Glass Antenna Turns Windows Into Base Stations (spectrum.ieee.org)
 

It is compatible with frequencies in the 5G Sub6 band—meaning signals that are less than 6 gigahertz (GHz). Sub6 antennas represent critical portions of a 5G deployment, as their lower frequency ranges penetrate barriers like walls and buildings better than the substantially higher-bandwidth millimeter-wave portions of the 5G spectrum.

This feels so true at this point..

The AI job interviewer will see you now - AI interview services say they’re eliminating bias — but not everyone agrees. in c/futurology@futurology.today

I get creeped out even answering to an AI bot screening phone support calls. Having video AI interviewer is a whole another level of creep.

We had a technical issue that impacted the federation with other instances. It's resolved now so there's more visibility.

High School Starts Replacing Teachers With AI in c/futurology@futurology.today
[–] voidx@futurology.today 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Right? AI chatbots are so bad with hallucinations. As a programmer I can usually spot the inaccurate code chatbot is spewing, but these kids won't be able to spot the inaccuracy unless there's very strict quality control..which would require human teachers anyway.

Global IT outage hits companies around the world as planes grounded and train services affected in c/futurology@futurology.today
[–] voidx@futurology.today 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The fix doesn't help much for already affected systems, as they're even unable to boot. Only workaround is to manually delete the files in safe mode for every system one by one, which is even more difficult if it's bitlocker protected.

Absolutely crazy that they managed to screw up this bad.

Oh, that's crazy. I guess it's more about the cost/risk of upgrading their core systems rather than the language itself.
