Technology@lemmy.world•OpenAI Execs Mass Quit as Company Removes Control From Non-Profit Board and Hands It to Sam AltmanEnglish
0·1 year agoPutting my tin foil hat on…Sam Altman knows the AI train might slowing down soon.
The OpenAI brand is the most valuable part of the company right now, since the models from Google, Anthropic, etc. can beat or match what ChatGPT is, but they aren’t taking off coz they aren’t as cool as OpenAI.
The business models to train & run models is not sustainable. If there is any money to be made it is NOW, while the speculation is highest. The nonprofit is just getting in the way.
This could be wishful thinking coz fuck corporate AI, but no one can deny AI is in a speculative bubble.

Technology@lemmy.world•Apple told to pay back €13bn in tax by EUEnglish
0·1 year agoThey greedy af. They’ve lobbied (bribed?) to keep the corp taxes as low as possible. Then they go Double Irish with Dutch Sandwich and NOT pay the low taxes anyways. If we were to tax them appropriately then it’d be a helluva lot more than 13b imo

Games@sh.itjust.works•343 Industries Has Allegedly Been Downsized Considerably, Upcoming Halo Titles To Be Largely OutsourcedEnglish
81·1 year agoI think a great example of what 343 should have done is treyarch taking over COD from infinity ward. They’ve converted infinity ward’s COD into a behemoth. They maintained what worked. They knew living upto IW’s standards wouldn’t work. They split the COD brand up to MW, BlackOps & the World War stuff, to mitigate any creative risks they could now take. This allowed them to grow COD including going into newer platform & modes e.g. Warzone.
I know it’s not an apples to apples comparison, but it does show how management of a studio is as important as the creative vision. 343 clearly lacked both.

Technology@lemmy.world•CATL battery successfully powers electric plane with 1,800-mile civil aircraft expectedEnglish
0·1 year agoThis is really great. Wendover Productions made an excellent video about electrification of flights a while ago.
Now the real question is: will world governments allow this Chinese technology into their countries? Protectionism is a valid reason to deny it, but I wonder if denying Chinese tech under the guise of national security a last ditch attempt from big oil lobbyists?
Or is that too far fetched and I’m just way to cynical.

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft in damage-control mode, says it will prioritize security over AIEnglish
0·2 years agoI think Windows 11 was supposed to be that clean break. They’ve reimplemented a lot of core functionality compared to XP & 7. If they’re still getting breached then they obviously aren’t serious about security.

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft in damage-control mode, says it will prioritize security over AIEnglish
0·2 years agoMicrosoft focused on security at this point is like a builder focusing on building strong foundations now that the house is built on top.
It’s a little too late my dudes.

Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft has blocked the bypass that allowed you to create a local account during Windows 11 setup by typing in a blocked email addressEnglish
0·2 years agoAbsolutely, however I think there is indifference or complacency in lay tech users. It might help open a few eyes if shown effects in peoples personal lives. For example, asking have you been getting obscene number of spam/robo-calls? That’s because your info was either stolen or sold by the company’s you shared it with. That would make the effect hit home better I think.
I remember when there was news that Facebook was listening to your conversations and suggesting ads when you logged in. Even if untrue it creeped people out, some even quitting Facebook entirely. Maybe something like that can happen with MS and they back off. Or better yet we legislate the shit out of tech companies, follow the EU way.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•When everyone became paranoid
1241·2 years agoI think a lot of memes are missing the main point of how it was caught, the exploit caused a spike in CPU usage for a network call. That made no sense to the
guyMessiah who found/reported it. FOSS software’s strength is the number of critical eyes looking over each line of code you put out!

Technology@lemmy.world•Leaks for Windows 11 laptop with Snapdragon X Elite show a CPU that’s a serious threat to Apple’s M3English
111·2 years agoYou forget the enterprise usage for Windows. Even Incremental gain is huge. With x86 emulation it definitely is a huge threat for apple.
Though I am happy Apple did it first. Competition is great for consumers. We’d never have gotten a decent ARM PC if Apple didn’t rattle Microsoft’s cage.
