I'm struggling a bit on the use case for these. How about something in your PC just died. You ordered a replacement but it arrives tomorrow. You have to game NOW but all you have is a potato backup. Streaming to that could keep you going temporarily? It would be nicer if they offered this as time used offering. So you bought 24h, you get 24h of logged in use, not from when you activate it.

 

BTW add on unlimited data plans on mobile phones are not so different. On my current provider, it is:

1 day: £3 (3.0/day)

3 day: £5 (1.7/day)

7 day: £10 (1.4/day)

30 day: £17 (0.6/day)

 

If you don't need it for the duration, you're not getting the full value of it. I recently bought the 30 day extension because I needed to fill a gap of 12 days when I didn't have wired internet due to moving house. Two 7 days packs cost more than one 30 day, although the effective cost of when I actually needed to use it was £1.4/day. It is still active now and I thought I might try outdoor streaming to Twitch as something I might get into later.

Maybe you're on a work trip, and your laptop can't run games. Instead of getting a new laptop for the few days of the work trip you pay 16 dollars for 4 days of gaming. That's one case I can think of 

this isn't the intended use case but you can use this to get non-gaming friends into games you might like, that they don't have the hardware to run. Like a trial service

I for one welcome our information apocalyptic overlords.

Remember that generating fake video is only half of it. If I set up a security camera and catch a suspect that was stealing my stuff, they can just say in court that the evidence was ai generated. 
 

could this technology make security cameras obsolete? That would definitely be scary for some.

I could be wrong but I have heard that one of the easiest way to figure out if something is AI generated is by using another AI to analyze it. Not an expert in AI so not sure how true that is but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case especially because I know we already use AI to detect bots vs real humans in alot of cases. Once necessary I think we will probably have some AI tool that will be able to verify if a video is AI generated. I can think of alot of goverments and companies that would want such technology so the chances of such a tool being developed is very high imo. 

At least based off ai plagiarism detectors, there's also a big false positive rate to take in mind.

It’s interesting that they built the PC to be resistant against fire. I mean what job can you think of where the workers’ computers might catch on fire lol

I mean it's probably just resistant to extreme heat in general which can include fires. 
 

But imagine you have a super important document on one of these and the building/vehicle you're in catches fire, that would be an issue if they aren't fireproof

but does it really exist to be GTA6 or Online 2?

This is key. Rockstar would be insane from a financial standpoint not to prioritize online 2 because of the sheer amount of money that GTA online is making them. 
 

Just look at how activision prioritizes Warzone over "core" CoD multiplayer and I would expect Rockstar to do the same resources wise.

Tbh I think it would struggle to sell above $200. $199 is the right price for this product given it's lack of offline capabilities.

I would not pay over 50 bucks for a streaming device, since I can literally buy a controller for that price and stream to my phone. Unless I'm missing something, I doubt the experience streaming to a streaming device is going to be significantly better than streaming to my phone 

Why would anyone pay 300 bucks for project q?

EDIT: All products talked about on this thread was announced. Including the AR glasses. We knew

I always thought that these "leaks" by companies were basically a marketing tactic to build up hype for people to watch the announcement. It being always right in the case of Apple makes me believe it more.

The PS5's new haptics in their controllers. Some games don't function too well without them. Though this is really more of a "put it by your bed and play a game there" device, I'd imagine.

Could you not just use the ps5 controller that you already have with your phone? I guarantee I've seen cheap phone holders that clip onto controllers too.

I'm not really a big PlayStation person but they seem to have a remote play feature to stream to iPhones and iPads, why would you bother with this device when you can just do that?

Its a shame because there really isn't anything else like warthunder either. If I want to play a somewhat arcade style vehicle combat game that allows you to play with aircraft and land vehicles there really isnt a good substitute right now.

Its not going to because ultimately there is no competition in the specific niche that warthunder occupies so they can do whatever they want

So why would I use this instead of connecting a Nreal Air to my already existing laptop?

I've tried this with GPT-3 and GPT-4.  The problem with this is these models are not anything like an AGI.  As has been pointed out.  These models churn the garbage that has been published into new patterns of the same old garbage.  

 

If I asked GPT4 to come up with a novel theory of space-Time it could not.  It can refer me to String Theory or Loop Quantum gravity or other things published but if asked to be creative it won't really.  

 

So your theoretical physicist or chemist could be fine. The chemist or physicist who just works on small variations of already established work might be in trouble.  A big problem for the scientist who dare to think different is where will they work?  Replace the labs that just do work that is incrementally better.  Automate the research that could be thought of by prompting an AI, then carried out by a robotic system... where would the next Alexander Flemming work?  Who would leave the cheese sandwich to get moldy that would lead to finding the next  penicillin?   

Replace the patent clerks with GPT and where would the next Einstein work? 

 

See what I mean. 

 

I don't think researchers or labs are going anywhere, regardless of the type of work being done. If anything, this will just make many parts of the research process more efficient. So there will still be a place for the next accidental discovery to happen.
 

If you've ever read a scientific paper, at the end there's always a section about future work; things that can be improved upon. If we have a model read several papers in a given field, take the main idea of those papers and the limitations of them, then we could have a much better idea of that field and where it is headed.
 

At that point, we (people or "AI") could easily design new experiments now that we know the limitations and trajectory of the entire field.
 

When these knowledge gaps and areas for potential advancement are exposed to a wider audience, that opens up more people to design experiments and conduct them relating to the field. Which speeds up progress. 

When it comes to things like literature reviews, in the near future I think that can largely be automated as well. Meaning that it will be much easier for people to get a large aggregation of data on any given topic.

I'm more curious what AI is going to do to a doctor visit, or replace a chemist. Until then I'm not impressed. We are just seeing the apex of the data pushing age.

.

 

It could reduce the amount of time that a doctor spends charting, allowing them to see patients more. It could also be used by insurance companies to more efficiently deny coverage claims.
Legality wise though, I doubt that anyone would want an ai to have the same level of liability over a patient as a doctor. 

For a chemist or any other scientist it could suggest research topics after reading a lot of literature.

They haven't directly said they won't do this. But they have said it indirectly. They're not interested in a modular upgradable system or having different SteamDeck performance levels at the same time.

that's unfortunate.

3-4 years down the line I hope they change their mind. Hopefully it will be easier and more cost efficient for them to design a new motherboard that works with the old steam deck instead of creating a steam deck 2. From what I've heard (although this might just be a rumor) the deck is sold at a loss and the idea is to make up the difference with more steam sales, and designing a new motherboard to keep existing deck users on SteamOS instead of giving them the chance to upgrade to a windows handheld system might make sense. But that's just my speculation

I hope that Valve will sell updated motherboards with newer chips in the future that current steam deck owners could slot in. At least so far they seem to have made the deck pretty repairable, and having a modular upgradable system would be a huge advantage over any other handheld out there.

With a lot of dev resources behind it, CoD could probably technically be made to run on Switch, and still look decent, but an “Impossible Port” project is more a labor of love, than a practical and profitable pursuit. 

Well no one ever said anything about which COD. You could probably port over COD mobile or older CODs easily.

Just be careful about this sort of thing. It's all too common for game series to die off to never be seen again with these types of acquisitions. So it's all well and good you might get access to X game for a while but X+1 game may never happen and it's gone forever. Sometimes you get lucky and it'll get revived like a decade later i.e. Deus Ex.

 

A better option would simply be contractual agreement for games to be on game pass, not buying out game studios and publishers if all you want is access to games on game pass.

Usually yes, but we are talking about Activision here. Honestly it might be good to give COD a break, not that one of the most profitable game franchises of all time is going anywhere.

In my opinion, this is exactly the way AI needs to go. In order to properly create safe and real AI, you need to make it think like a human. The next step (That I would like to see happen) is to simulate emotions. Yes. Real (Or as real as you can get with simulation)  emotions. This is very hopeful. However, if you can simulate the hippocampus, you can simulate other parts of the brain, right? How about simulating a part of the brain that stimulates emotions? Now you might think this will get out of control.

There is a bigger scientific/philosophical issue here. While something like being able to learn spatial objects in a maze is easy to quantify (after all, we have been doing it for ages with rats), something subjective like being able to quantify that another entity can experience emotions is much harder to prove.
 

In fact there are some philosophies that state that the only entity you can prove that has a consciousness/subjective experience is yourself (look up solipsism). Right now with how little we know about these topics it will be basically impossible to prove whether an AI has emotions. I mean we dont even know whether certain animals (such as insects) are capable of experiencing pain or not, much less more complex emotions.

Hence it might be truly impossible to prove that an AI can feel emotions like a human. But you could argue that it's irrelevant, as long as the AI understands enough about human emotions to do its job effectively it is ultimately unnecessary to know what it feels.

This is discussion about the far future though. The paper isn't anywhere near simulating a whole CA1 region of hippocampus, much less a whole hippocampus, or whole brain.

No one. This model seems to be built from the ground up with 15 neurons to replicate circuits found in the hippocampus of everyone.

so I assume this is a "brain like chip" and not a chip? or is it fully a chip that simulates something similar?

As there is various projects out there using many different things. be it real brains, mouse, silicon chips/electrical, to different type of chips, etc.

hope it can be explained in the post, unless it was.

Here is the entire circuit. It was simulated in a computer with python it seems.

As a steam deck owner, I can say that the display resolution being too low is definitely not an issue in my experience. I would much rather have a product that keeps the same resolution and has a longer battery life as a result.

I don't think going from 720p to 1080p  or even 1440p is going to be such a big deal when the screen is very small and you are holding it at a reasonable distance 

How are they going to cool it?

I hope it's better with math. The current model, GPT 3 is bad with complex maths related to electricity. But at least it can admit when its wrong.

While Bing chat is just a cocky piece of trash that refuses to admit it's wrong. Then when you call it out on it, it just shuts down the conversation entirely instead of trying to learn.

  Reveal hidden contents

Cos(64) is 0.438, yet that dumb as a rock AI kept saying it's wrong and it was -0.933.
Started by asking it to find the current, reactance and resistance of a circuit, then for the real, apparent and reactive power.
The 3 phase real power formula is P = √3 * VL * IL * Cos(fi), fi in this case was 64˚ (complex angle of the current).
I wasn't getting the same result as it using the same numbers it gave when used as part of the formula. Asked it what was up, I'm getting a different answer, "I'm correct, check your math or use a different calculator". Bruh...

Then I figured it was because it kept using -0.933 for cos(64) because it interpreted the degree symbol ˚ as pi.
As such, it was doing cos(64*pi).
Anyone who used complex polar equations know that pi has no place in there, it's just the number of the angle, straight up. That explained why I wasn't getting the same result as it.
Then it had the audacity to essentially say something like "I don't feel comfortable continuing this discussion" before shutting down when I just told it "you used -0.933 for cos(64), you should've used 0.438". Tried sending feedbacks, the page just sent me back to regular search and erased everything.)
I did manage to make it admit that cos(64) is indeed 0.438 before it shut down, but it just kept refusing to accept it was wrong for using that as part of the equation and saying it was right for using -0.933.

As much as I was hyped for Bing chat when Linus showed it, my experience with it for my needs, have been mildly infuriated to say the least.

Bing chat's best use seems to be towards comparing and contrasting different things. I found it to work well if you ask it how a piece of media relates to a social event, for example.

FIFY. (Yup google takes your data too without returns, but it sounded pretty false to say that you got it for free.)

Fair enough, but the way it's set up, honestly I doubt they get much useful data at all. I mean you take quizzes that they make for points. It's also quite easy if you want to just search random garbage to get your points quota for the day. 
 

It seems more likely to me that they're using it as a way to serve ads to you and boost their own user count.
