My mom texted me yesterday to say she was watching Garfield and I thought she was just doing weird mom updates. Then she texted me again tonight and I was extremely confused. Then I remembered I recommended Death By Lightning to her

The robots should be allowed to use the street and see how the drivers like it
The bots obstruct sidewalks and hinder accessibility.

“Surveillance is another concern. Each Coco robot has five cameras that are constantly on and recording ‘vast amounts of data every day from...full 360-degree perception…’”
Hundreds of Chicago residents sign petition to pause robot delivery pilot program over safety concerns
There is a growing call for the City Council to hold a public hearing on the pilot program and publish accessibility data

That phrase means absolutely nothing and it was coined by a fucking parasite so of course Jeffries is salivating
No value, no villain, no vision. Sounds like the tagline for the earnings call of a collapsing appliance retailer

Do you know how hard you have to fight for any sort of accountability for rich people. God damn
When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

part of the reason all "AI" is a jumbled mess of bullshit. is it a tool or is it an engagement trap like social media? you'd think the more useful tool would be the one you spend less time talking with

I had missed this when it happened: UNC combining their data science and library science schools into a new “School of AI”
UNC schools of data science and information science to merge, forming unnamed ‘School of AI’
SDSS Dean Stanley Ahalt will be made dean of the new school while SILS Dean Jeffrey Bardzell will stand as the University’s Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer and Vice Provost for AI.

Whomst could have predicted that bosses would rather listen to an ELIZA-bot that repeats their thoughts back to them over the employees they've been trying to get rid of for decades w/o losing any revenue?!
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.

I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?
Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.
