UK Woman Mistaken As Shoplifter By Facewatch, Now She's Banned From All Stores With Facial Recognition Tech
  • That's not very reassuring, we're still only one computer bug away from that situation.

    Presumably she wasn't identified as a violent criminal because the facial recognition system didn't associate her duplicate with that particular crime. The system would be capable of associating any set of crimes with a face. It's not like you get a whole new face for each different possible crime. So, we're still one computer bug away from seeing that outcome.

  • I hate how disposable smartphones are
  • 7 years ago, I bought a flagship phone in hopes of keeping it for a decade.

    Last year, I had to buy a new phone because the cell towers stopped broadcasting on frequencies my phone supported. It became a neat WiFi-only brick, and useless for my purposes, in 60% of my target lifetime.

    In short, the entire industry is configured for a sub-decade obsolescence cadence.

  • Elon Musk's xAI plans to build 'Gigafactory of Compute' by fall 2025 — using 100,000 Nvidia's H100 GPUs
  • H100 isn’t $40, it’s $40,000. You’re making the Bloomberg Mistake: it costs $4,000,000,000 - four billion.

    I can’t wait to see what clownshoes nonsense way he absolutely fucks this one up, but that’ll take a lot of liquidity he probably doesn’t have access to unless he gets the $45bn Tesla payout.

    iPhones And Androids Can Now Warn You of 'Secret Trackers'
  • They were so close on the acronym: "Detecting Unwanted Location Trackers" should be "Detecting Ominous Location Trackers" (DOLT). ("Obnoxious" also works but unfairly downplays the stalking/domestic-violence angle.)

  • Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

    I prompted Bing with Ian Malcom's timeless quote, "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should," and it gave me this nightmare in return.

    Moral Crumple Zones: Crushing the Human to Preserve Venture Capital
    papers.ssrn.com Moral Crumple Zones: Cautionary Tales in Human-Robot Interaction (pre-print)

    As debates about the policy and ethical implications of AI systems grow, it will be increasingly important to accurately locate who is responsible when agency i

    Moral Crumple Zones discusses how humans are used to absorb liability from automated systems.

    With Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving linked to hundreds of crashes, dozens of deaths getting traction, it’s time to remind everyone that Tesla’s design choice to disengage self-driving in the instant before impact is intentional to ensure the driver is in control during the moment of impact, even though self-driving disengaged way too late for the human to react.

    In my opinion, they’re sacrificing both bystanders and customers to preserve immunity from liability.
