The event included keynote presentations, new hardware, promises of expanded services, and hands-on (eyes-on?) time with the new product, like an Apple event if the Apple designers had just returned from an ayahuasca retreat. (The Wi-Fi password for the event: IntelligenceAge.)A spokesperson for Tools for Humanity said all event attendees can have their iris scanned today, and 500 attendees will receive a new Orb when it ships in 2025. “We need more orbs, lots more orbs, probably on the order of a thousand more orbs than we have today,” Tools for Humanity chief device officer Rich Heley said during the keynote.This Orb has a new, pearly look. It’s running on Nvidia’s Jetson chipset and, according to Tools for Humanity, “provides nearly 5X the AI performance” for faster identity verification. None of this makes it less bizarre." <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/worldcoin-sam-altman-orb/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.wired.com/story/worldcoin-sam-altman-orb/</a>

Wolfie ChristlNevertheless, it's interesting that Microsoft is pushing employers towards the inclusion of performance and HR decisioning data into its intrusive insider risk profiling system.I see it as prototypical <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/techsolutionism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#techsolutionism</a> I'm sure telling employees 'please improve your performance but we now see you as a threat' will greatly improve motivation and trust.Utilizing employee data originally collected for HR purposes for security+risk monitoring may have legal implications, certainly in Europe.

The Microsoft AI engineer said a lot of tasks are about “trying to create AI hype” with no practical use. He recalled instances when a software engineer on his team would come up with an algorithm to solve a particular problem that didn’t involve generative AI. That solution would be pushed aside in favor of one that used a large language model, even if it were less efficient, more expensive and slower, the person said. He described the irony of using an “inferior solution” just because it involved an AI model.A software engineer at a major internet company, which the person asked to keep unnamed due to his group’s small size, said the new team he works on dedicated to AI advancement is doing large language model research “because that’s what’s hot right now.”"<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/03/ai-engineers-face-burnout-as-rat-race-to-stay-competitive-hits-tech.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.cnbc.com/2024/05/03/ai-engineers-face-burnout-as-rat-race-to-stay-competitive-hits-tech.html</a>

FeralRobots<a href="https://mas.to/@carnage4life" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@carnage4life</a> most of the people thinking ghost kitchens were compelling were people doing disruption-driven marketing, which has a major venn intersection for crypto, libertarianism, & <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/techsolutionism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#techsolutionism</a>. As a person who cares about food, who's worked in digital marketing, & whose first job building a marketing website was in 1997, it was always a fairly unimpressive idea. Bound to fail? Maybe not. But seemed pretty clear to me nothing good could come of it.

FeralRobotsI actually think federated social media (e.g. the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediverse</a>) could finally deliver on that promise of massively distributed human action. One of the things that could kill it would be unrealistic <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TechSolutionist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TechSolutionist</a> expectations - like '<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/spam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spam</a> & <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fedispam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fedispam</a> will be magically fixed by technology.' <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TechSolutionism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TechSolutionism</a>

FeralRobotsWe can't <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/techsolutionism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#techsolutionism</a> our way out of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fedispam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fedispam</a>. The solution is going to need to involve actual humans taking actual actions at massively distributed scope & scale. That's something the internet's been trying to deliver on since I've been on it, which is over 30 yrs now. (Oh, wait, I'm not supposed to mention how long I've been doing this, apparently that's bad for some reason.)

Aron LeeMy aunt keeps losing her earbuds so I suggested she invest in a cord to attach the two together. I love when <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/TechSolutionism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TechSolutionism</a> just results in an old-fashioned <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Innovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Innovation</a>. (Can going back to an older form of tech even be an innovation?)
