Delivery Robot Causes Car Accident With Nine Injuries: "The robot fled, if you can put it that way." cross-posted from: lemmy.world/post/54088854

Made this wojak, feel free to use it! Fun fact: I almost wrote the audio driver for his MS-DOS game. Maybe I’ll still write one, but for a different project (and one that is primarily for the OPL2/3 instead of Tandy Audio with optional FM support).

"Owning hardware is wasteful": Slop Altman wants your RAM in the cloud where it can be rented back to you.

These people can't fucking do anything Goddamn. Imagine being so creatively bankrupt that you can’t even write a simple birthday message for a child without Robot Daddy’s help. I’m so glad the AI bubble is coming crashing down, it couldn’t have come sooner.

They're getting desperate for real intelligence. I guess that's what happens when you don't have any of your own. “Paid collaboration” my ass. More like, let me pay you a pittance and sell your knowledge for 100x.

I brought a Rotisserie Chicken to an AI interview

Pope Leo calls for the disarmament of AI: ‘Machines are tools, not persons’ cross-posted from: lemmy.world/post/53784347 Pope Leo XIV says AI systems should be “disarmed,” adding that humans “have the responsibility to guide, change and, when necessary, reject its applications.” In Friday’s Papal Address, Pope Leo encourages United Nations member states to “take concrete steps toward banning lethal autonomous weapons” during their meeting in Geneva next month. The address reflects many of the ideas Pope Leo laid out in his first major papal document in May, which highlighted “safeguarding the human person in the time of artificial intelligence.” In line with his encyclical, Pope Leo tells participants that “Machines are tools, not persons,” and warns about the dangers of granting AI systems rights or legal personhood. “Decisions affecting human life, freedom, and the use of force must always remain subject to effective, informed, and responsible human oversight,” Pope Leo says. In 2024, Pope Francis similarly called for a ban on autonomous weapons, saying, “No machine should ever choose to take the life of a human being.” AI has become a popular topic for Pope Leo, who suggests he chose his name because he must confront advances in the technology — similar to how Pope Leo XIII presided over the church at the forefront of the Industrial Revolution. Pope Leo closes out his address by calling for international institutions to safeguard the common good from AI-related risks, along with “shared standards, independent oversight and clear mechanisms of accountability so that decisions concerning the development and use of AI can be examined, challenged when necessary, and accompanied by appropriate remedies for any harm caused.”

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says its “terrible to have everybody have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM” instead of shoving it all in datacentres

AI is going to eventually figure out nuclear launch codes in the world and start launching nukes at all of us. I am actually scared to be alive and this problem is only going to get worse as time goes

Proton’s CEO Cancels AI ‘Re-Interviews’ cross-posted from: sh.itjust.works/post/69175737 Yen also mentioned “org changes,” and said that part of this is “redistributing talent across teams.” He said that the reorganization will happen next month, “but there will be no loss of jobs from AI.” TL; DR Nothing has really changed, we’re just going to be more discreet to avoid further backlash, also layoffs are coming, don’t worry, we won’t say it’s because of AI. This is why you don’t bargain with terrorist tech bros. Andy and his cronies need to go.

'Morale has been terrible' at EA, workers claim, saying that AI mandates and mismanagement have left the company 'a cold dead place that's slowly decaying as leadership pilfers every last cent'

Reddit will force everyone to log in... like the deals it made with OpenAI... Reddit is announcing a huge shift: It’s going to start requiring users to log in. Right now, you can browse Reddit without having an account… Huffman claims the login requirement is better for Reddit’s user experience and its ads business and is “more protective of Reddit data.” The “vast majority” of unauthorized Reddit access happens “through our logged-out experiences,” though the company will still strike licensing deals of its data with companies, like the deals it made with OpenAI and Google in 2024.

Pure asshole behavior

My healthcare provider is recording appointments for AI generated summaries When I saw they had an “AI statement” I knew it was bad news. But I didn’t expect it to be so bad, holy shit! So basically they are recording you without your knowledge (unless you have read this document). Because they don’t tell you about it in the appointment either! I’ve been to a couple appointments recently and the nurse/doctor didn’t say anything about this. Next time I go I’ll definitely say that I want to opt out of this shit and see their reaction. And this is in Europe by the way. Name and shame: Mehiläinen

Good news on the AI front! I'll let Jon Stewart explain...

Glazers completely missing the point as usual
