'Genetic engineering to merge with machines' is both a stream of words with negative meaning and something I don't think he could come up with on his own, like the solar system sized dyson sphere or the lab leak stuff. He just strikes me as too incurious to have come across the concepts he mashes together on his own.

Simplest explanation I guess is he's just deliberately joeroganing the CEO thing and that's about as deep as it goes.

I feel the devs should just ask the chatbot themselves before submitting if they feel it helps, automating the procedure invites a slippery slope in an environment were doing it the wrong way is being pushed extremely strongly and executives' careers are made on 'I was the one who led AI adoption in company x (but left before any long term issues became apparent)'

Plus the fact that it's always weirdos like the hating AI is xenophobia person who are willing to go to bat for AI doesn't inspire much confidence.

I completely missed that, thanks.

It's possible we may be catching sight of the first shy movements towards a pivot to robotics:

Both developer kits, because it's always a maybe the clients will figure something out type of business model these days.

There are days when 70% error rate seems low-balling it, it's mostly a luck of the draw thing. And be it 10% or 90%, it's not really automation if a human has to be double-triple checking the output 100% of the time.

Scott A. comes off as such a disaster of a personality. Hope it's less obvious in his irl interactions.

No, just replace all your sense of morality with utilitarian shrimp algebra. If you end up vegetarian, so be it.

Why? Programmers should be legally liable for what they program.

Too many degrees of separation between a programmer and the final product and how it's used, usually.

Additionally, the decision to deploy an incomplete product or one that contains known flaws is an administrative decision, not a programming one.

Conceded.

That's it!

this isn’t really even related to GenAI at all

Besides the ocr there appears to be all sorts of image-to-text metadata recorded, the nadella demo had the journalist supposedly doing a search and getting results with terms that were neither typed at the time nor appearing in the stored screenshots.

Also, I thought they might be doing something image-to-text-to-image-again related (which - I read somewhere - was what bing copilot did when you asked it to edit an image) to save space, instead of storing eleventy billion multimonitor screenshots forever.

Must be another one of those hundred hostile bloggers who inexplicably have it in for EA, according to siskind.
