    Researchers make “neuromorphic” artificial skin for robots

    All the folks thinking “Terminator” is the mainstream production path for this stuff don’t know how tech adoption works. 100% it’s responsive Fleshlights and femme-bots.

    TV-focused YouTube update brings AI upscaling, shopping QR codes

    Paid YouTube subscriber here, and I don’t mind GenAI content as long as it’s something original and not pretending to be something it’s not. But the examples I’ve seen of the “upscaled” vids are fucking atrocious. Yes, the video feed may go from whatever to 1080p but the AI is some half-assed...

    Musk’s DOGE used Meta’s Llama 2—not Grok—for gov’t slashing, report says

    Wouldn’t matter. Watergate happened at a time when people had a semblance of balance in their news intake, actually believed the truth when it was reported, and cared. Not so much now.

    Everything you say to your Echo will be sent to Amazon starting on March 28

    Several times in the last few weeks my Echo devices have randomly announced, "I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that" or some such when I definitely said nothing like the wake word. Guess it's finally time to chuck all the fucking things in the bin.

    The surveillance tech waiting for workers as they return to the office

    This guy's full of shit. Reallocating resources to AI projects may be true, but I'd venture to guess most CEOs know the GenAI hype is mostly bullshit and that it's not going to replace office workers in a meaningful way anytime soon. They're just jumping on the bandwagon because it's expected...
