  • These Are The Freelancers Losing Their Job to AI

    Hey Strangers,
    #ai #freelancer #job
    Many employees, especially those working in creative fields, are understandably worried by the prospect of AI stealing their jobs - and new research has found it may not be an unfounded fear.
    A report from the Imperial College Business School, Harvard Business School, and the German Institute for Economic Research, found the demand for digital freelancers in writing and coding declined by 21% since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022.
    Automation-prone fields like writing, software, and app development saw a 21% decrease in job listings, while data entry and social media post-production experienced a 13% drop. Image-generation roles, including graphic design and 3D modeling, fell by 17%. Google search trends confirmed a higher decline in sectors aware of and using generative AI.

  • Retainer Bros Rage Over Yasuke Gameplay in Assassin's Creed Shadows

    Hey Strangers,
    #assassinscreed #yasuke #assassinscreedshadows
    Assassin’s Creed Shadows has run into a bizarre controversy surrounding its protagonist Yasuke. A small corner of the internet contends Yasuke’s status as a Samurai, and has accused Ubisoft of misrepresentation in a series that was never historically accurate to begin with. Unsurprisingly, none of this kerfuffle seems to have impacted pre-orders for the game.
    Assassin’s Creed Shadows looks set to sell gangbusters regardless of protagonist discourse
    Reliable insider Tom Henderson has apparently received word from his sources at Ubisoft that AC Shadows’ pre-orders are looking strong and no one he’s spoken to appears to be disappointed by them. News site Spiel Times also noted that AC Shadows instantly became one of the most pre-ordered games on Amazon in multiple regions including Japan, where it climbed to the top spot.

  • Which Car Should I Buy? | Electric or Gas?

    Hey Strangers,
    #car #electronic #buy
    There are plenty of climate and air quality reasons to buy an electric vehicle (EV), but is it cheaper to drive? While this is a complicated question that has befuddled car shoppers for years, in most cases, an EV will indeed be cheaper in the long run. And with automakers slashing prices for EVs in the past year on top of federal incentives for eligible buyers, you may even be able to score a bargain up front. Let’s sort out the details.
    Sticker prices for electric vs. gas cars
    According to data from Cox Automotive (parent company of Kelley Blue Book), the average price paid for a new EV has fallen significantly—in September 2023, it came down by $14,300 over the prior year. This amounted to a cost of just $2,800 more than the average paid for a new gas-powered vehicle. And with the EV market growing rapidly, the price margin is expected to shrink even more in the coming years as manufacturers produce more affordable models and improve battery technology, the most expensive part of an EV.

  • Hackers Are Destroying Hospitals All Across America

    Hey Strangers,
    #hospitals #hackers #healthcare
    Ascension has said it is investigating if hackers accessed patient data.
    “We are conducting a thorough investigation of the incident with the support of leading cybersecurity experts and law enforcement,” an Ascension spokesperson told WPR on Monday. “If we determine sensitive data was potentially exfiltrated or accessed, we will notify and support the affected individuals in accordance with all relevant regulatory and legal obligations.”
    Smith, the union leader, offered some criticisms on how Ascension handled matters after the attack.
    “Communication with staff could have been a lot better. We didn’t hear stuff for days … But the reality behind it is, we need staff,” Smith said. “We needed staff before this. And we need staff now.”
    “They have been cutting back on the number of people that are in the facilities, and the time that they are taking to replace somebody has been so long,” she continued. “One more set of hands on that first day could have changed what is happening across the board.”
    Neprash said she is unsure if Ascension should take responsibility in this attack.
    “I wish I knew the right answer to that. But just the fact that we’re asking that question gets at some of this complexity and all the interconnectedness in health care,” Neprash said. “The fact that we don’t know who is in charge of keeping that information safe shows us why health care is so vulnerable.”

  • I am Good On Facebook Meta

    Hey Strangers,
    #meta #facebook #AI
    Plans to use peoples' public posts and images on Facebook and Instagram to train artificial intelligence (AI) tools belonging to parent company Meta have been attacked by digital rights groups.
    The social media giant recently has been informing UK and European users of the platforms that, under privacy policy changes taking effect on 26 June, their information can be used to "develop and improve" its AI products.
    This includes posts, images, image captions, comments and Stories that users over the age of 18 have shared with a public audience on Facebook and Instagram, but not private messages.
    Noyb, a European campaign group that advocates for digital rights, called its processing of years' worth of user content on the sites an "abuse of personal data for AI".
    It has filed complaints with 11 data protection authorities across Europe, urging them to take immediate action on halt the company's plans.
    Meta said it was confident its approach complied with relevant privacy laws and was consistent with how other big tech firms used data to develop AI experiences across Europe.
    In a blogpost published on 22 May, it said European user information would support a wider rollout of its generative AI experiences, in part by providing more relevant training data.
    Here’s how to watch the archive of WWDC 2024.

    It’s WWDC 2024 keynote time! Each year Apple kicks off its Worldwide Developers Conference with a few hours of just straight announcements, like the long-awaited Apple Intelligence and a makeover for smart AI assistant, Siri. We expected much of them to revolve around the company’s artificial intelligence ambitions (and here), and Apple didn’t disappoint. We also bring you news about Vision Pro and lots of feature refreshes.

  • Call of Duty Pride Bundle is NOT Broken?

    Hey Strangers,
    #callofduty #lgbtq #gaming
    A possible Call of Duty bug is causing a new Pride-themed cosmetic to paint the bullets in one version of one of the game’s guns the colors of the transgender flag. Now, right wing rage jockeys are seizing this to peddle transphobic conspiracy theories so idiotic they would be laughable, if not for the real world threats underlining the outrage.
    Season 4 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone went live last week. In addition to a host of new content, including Gundam skins that turn players into walking anime mechs, the update also rolled out free Pride cosmetics on June 1. “Call of Duty is for everyone, and we’re proud to celebrate Pride Month by offering seven different Weapon Camo variants, each representing the colors of the different LGBTQ+ flags,” Activision wrote on its website.

  • OpenAI Hiding Bad News?

    Hey Strangers,
    #openai #ai #whistleblower
    Several former OpenAI employees warned in an open letter that advanced AI companies like OpenAI stifle criticism and oversight, especially as concerns over AI safety have increased in the past few months.
    The open letter, signed by 13 former OpenAI employees (six of whom chose to remain anonymous) and endorsed by “Godfather of AI” Geoffrey Hinton, formerly of Google, says that in the absence of any effective government oversight, AI companies should commit to open criticism principles. These principles include avoiding the creation and enforcement of non-disparagement clauses, facilitating a “verifiably” anonymous process to report issues, allowing current and former employees to raise concerns to the public, and not retaliating against whistleblowers.

  • Open AI Is For Men Only

    Hey Strangers,
    #openai #ai #men
    It was hard not to cringe at the demo of ChatGPT’s latest upgrade. Instead of showcasing a chatbot that sounded more reliable, OpenAI gave the world one that hit all the notes of an obsequious female, giggling at the antics of its male researchers and praising their outfits. The resulting outrage over the voice’s similarity to Scarlett Johansson missed a deeper point. The world’s leading AI builders are creating software that reinforces stereotypes about women. And there’s a big reason why: There are simply too few of them involved. At OpenAI, just 18 per cent of staff working on the development of its technology are women, according to data collected for Bloomberg Opinion by business intelligence firm Glass.ai, which used machine-learning technology to scrutinize tech-company websites and thousands of LinkedIn profiles of AI-focused employees. The creator of ChatGPT was the worst among other leading firms in the survey, conducted in May 2024.
