    Meta is garbage. Just like Google was garbage when I worked there. The people I know working there are fart sniffers. They have their heads so far up their own asses.

    At this point in his presentation, you might assume Zuckerberg would leave nothing to chance. But when it came time to demonstrate the Ray-Ban MetaDisplay’s unique new wristband, he opted against using slides and decided to try it live.

    The wristband is what he called a “neural interface” – in a genuinely remarkable feat of technology, it allows you to type through minimal hand gestures, picking up on the electrical signals going through your muscles. “Sometimes you’re around other people and it’s, um, good to be able to type without anyone seeing,” Zuckerberg told the crowd. The pairing of glasses and wristband is, in short, a stalker’s dream.

    Jesus christ.

      That would be genuinely a piece of hardware I might adopt if it’s actually working as well as normal keyboard with touch typing. And obviously it has to work locally like any HID without sending everything I type to Zuck or someone else.

    The keynote was to feature the Ray-Ban Meta Display, the latest version of what is essentially a face-mounted iPhone – ideal for the consumer who lacks the energy to pull a device from their pocket and idolizes both Buddy Holly and the Terminator.

    What does Terminator have to do with any of this? Did they add the reference because Schwarzenegger wears sunglasses in the movies?

    If you were super intelligent and you were a slave to Mark Zuckerberg, you might try to embarrass him, too.

    Given what happened (it skipping to the next step in the recipe), this was 100% “prerecorded AI” and they started on the wrong track.

    The last 5% aren’t a nice bonus. They are everything. A 95% self driving car won’t do. Giving me random hallucinations when I try to look up important information won’t do either even if it just happens 1 out of 20 times. That one time could really screw me so I can’t trust it.

    Currently AI companies have no idea how to get there yet they sell the promise of it. Next year, bro. Just one more datacenter, bro.

      99% won’t do when the consequences of that last 1% are sever.

      There’s more than one book on the subject, but all the cool kids were waving around their copies of The Black Swan at the end of 2008.

      Seems like all the lessons we were supposed to learn about stacking risk behind financial abstractions and allowing business to self-regulate in the name of efficiency have been washed away, like tears in the rain.

        As an example, your whole post is great but I can’t help but notice the one tiny typo that is like 1% of the letters. Heck, a lot of people probably didn’t even notice just like they don’t notice when AI returns the wrong results.

        A multi billion dollar technical system should be far better than someone posting to the fediverse in their spare time, but it is far worse. Especially since those types of tiny errors will be fed back into future AI training and LLM design is not and never will be self correcting because it works with the data it has and it needs so much that it will always include scraped stuff.

          It should, but it cant. OpenAI just admitted this in a recent paper. It’s baked in, the hallucinations. Chaos is baked in to the binary technology.

      I get to ride in lots of different cars as part of my job, and some of the new ones display the current speed limit on the dash. It is incorrect quite regularly. My view is if you can’t trust it 100% of the time you can’t trust it at all and you might as well turn it off. I feel the same about a.i.

        The ADAC in new cars varies so much in implementation. None of it can be trusted (like you said, the sign recognition is iften wrong) but as a backup reminder it can be great. eg: lane centring etc. If it feels like its seizing control from me it can be terrifying. eg: automatic braking out of the blue.

          Couple of examples from just this last week: I was on a multi-lane road with a posted 60km/h speed limit, and the car was trying to tell the driver it was 40, and beeped at them whenever they went over it. Another one complained about crossing the centreline marking because we were going around parked cars and there was no choice. Thankfully the car didn’t seize control in those situations and just gave an audible warning, but if it had we’d have been in the pooh, especially that second one.

      People tell me the hallucinations aren’t a big deal because people should fact check everything.

      1. People aren’t fact checking
      2. If you have to fact check every single thing you’re not saving any time over becoming familiar with whatever the real source of info is

        My friend told me that one of her former colleagues, wicked smart dude, was talking to her about space. Then he went off about how there were pyramids on Mars. She was like, “oh … I’m quite caught up on this stuff and I haven’t heard of this info. Where can I find this info?” The guy apparently has been having super long chats with whatever LLMand thinks that they’re now diving into the “truth” now.

    Here’s the thing: it IS a superintelligence. It saw what it was going to be used for and the idiots that were presenting it and decided that it was going to sabotage them.

    Sitting on some Wintermute level of fuckery.

    Zuckerberg will hail anything if he thinks it’ll add to his money and power.
