He’s referring to the working conditions.

It's a management decision. Even if the responsible developer left, the next in line would take up the job. We work for a living and there is little choice in ethical companies you can join for adequate pay.

Sir, what are you looking at? Are you even listening?

All

We could just install some heat pumps in hell and transport the energy via flux pipeline to the overworld.

That sounds too close to Schutzstaffel to me (SS)

That would depend in the degree of blur. If it is the average blur you'd have in japanese pornography, then no, that tech does not exist. Super resolution is good, but not that good.

And no, I have not tried.

All of them at once while saying the words.

Thanks, I didn't know!

There are really only two search engines. Its either Google or Bing. The others exist, but they use Google's and/or Bing's search results.

I used to like going out in summer mid-day. Now I usually prefer to stay indoors. It’s only the few morning hours when I can stand the temperature. But 30°C at 65% air moisture und no shade or water to bathe to be found… No thank you.

I think to have this settled once and for all: The German accent is the best of them all.

Following up on the other comment.

The issue is that widely available speech models are not yet offering the quality that is technically possible. That is probably why you think we’re not there yet. But we are.

Oh, I’m looking forward to just translate a whole audiobook into my native language and any speaking style I like.

Okay, perhaps we would still have difficulties with made up fantasy words or words from foreign languages with little training data.

Mind, this is already possible. It’s just that I don’t have access to this technology. I sincerely hope that there will be no gatekeeping to the training data, such that we can train such models ourselves.

For the last example: Here

Rendering dreams from fMRI is also already reality. Please, google that yourself if you’d like to see the sources. However, the image quality is not yet very good, but nevertheless it is possible. It is just a question of when the quality will be better.

Now think about smart glasses or whatever display you like, controlling it with your mind. You’d need Jedi concentration :D But I sure do think I will live long enough to see this technology.

Imagine a car company disabling your car.

A factor I didn’t consider. Thanks. And there I thought given hardware requirements it would be relatively easy to build such LLMs or similar foss-like.

I don’t think the issue is corps feeding the internet into AI systems. The real issue is gatekeeping to information and only giving access to this information while milking the individual for data by trackers, money by subscriptions, and more money by ads (that we pay for with subscriptions).

Another larger issue that I fear is often ignored is the amount of control large corporations and in theory the government can have over us just by looking at our trace we leave in the internet. Just have a look at Russia and China for real world examples of this.

In time they will become better

Think further. Don’t own a phone anymore but only smart glasses.

That’s just a toolbox and in my experience a pretty limited one as well. What OP means is that Gen AI doesn’t connect to your Emails, Photoshop, your IDE, your browser, and what not with text or speech.

Imagine not using your keyboard and mouse anymore, but only using your speech and natural language for everything (not commands, but natural language).

Confidently interfacing with smart glasses would be a game changer for so many things.
