Here is the daily technology #threadcast for 8/8/24. We aim to educate people about this crucial area along with providing information of what is taking place.
Drop all question, comments, and articles relating to #technology and the future. The goal is make it a technology center.
Does Leo shorts have to be original videos ?
It can be whatever you want.
Including Ai generated videos?
Nothing can stop you from posting that on here. It is a thread. Of course, you will have to get very short videos since anything over a minute doesnt go through.
The Guardian: Dirty talk: how AI is being used in the bedroom – and beyond

Now there is privacy for you.
Chatbots as sex aids. It is no surprise.
Well, I have access to real-life sex, and it seems to be more fun to me ;)
I guess it depends upon who the other one is.
There are some who are as interesting as doing the dishes.
I am a lucky man ;)
Just wait until text to video or voice to video get better. Then imagine what people will be doing with it in the bedroom.
I'd prefer not to imagine everything ;)
I am sure you can find it online so you dont have to imagine. LOL

Reuters: Nokia and Swisscom to deploy drone service across Switzerland
https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/nokia-swisscom-deploy-drone-service-across-switzerland-2024-08-08/
Drones got a lot of attention about 5 years ago but kind of faded. Maybe they are starting to get hyped again.
In Switzerland, it actually makes sense - they're rich enough to invest in them, and yet there are secluded and remote places to serve them with.
Yeah it could be. I will have to dive into your articles. There are a lot of commercial use cases for them.
They use then in aviation for inspections and such.
And deliveries mainly.
Havent seen them for deliveries much although there was some testing with medical supplies here in the states.
Reuters: Mass YouTube outage reported in Russia amid escalating official criticism
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/thousands-youtube-outages-reported-russia-2024-08-08/
Not as upset as when Desperate Housewives went off the air.
So that's your taste? I see :)
Not really. I havent done reality TV since the OJ Bronco chase scene.
But for some reason it is huge.
:)
Actually I use to watch a show called Monster House.
A reality show staring Bradley and his own house I assume.
No quite although that would be a massive remake.
Streamed on Inleo :)

Another #technology that was hyped a great deal, especially for construction, a few years ago. I will have to start following that a bit closer.
I've seen houses
buitprinted by this technology. Let's see how can they handle real life using, and sometimes quite harsh weather.I skipped across something, didnt read the article, that headlined some were not holding up so well a few years later.
Didnt dive into it so dont know what the claim was or how much validity to it.

Bio-tech is going to explode over the next 20 years. My guess is we see a trend line similar to what we saw with compute over the last 40.
I hope the outcomes of it will not explode anywhere near me :))
It could get messy.

I bet on the latter.
CNBC: Amazon’s $4 billion investment in AI firm Anthropic faces UK merger investigation
https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/08/amazons-investment-in-ai-firm-anthropic-faces-uk-merger-investigation.html
The European countries love their regulation and constraints.
CNBC: Apple could charge up to $20 for some Apple Intelligence AI features, analysts say
https://www.cnbc.com/2024/08/08/apple-could-charge-20-for-some-apple-intelligence-features-analysts.html
A big tech company charging for a feature? No surprise. They excel at leveraging their customers.
There is a reason why Apple has a market cap of $3 trillion or whatever it is.
Well, Inleo too charges for features ;)
Sophia the robot is fascinating, but should we worry if robots start thinking for themselves? Are we ready for that? #cent #askleo #freecompliments
it is gonna be wild, but I don't want them to get to that level of thinking for themselves.
yes me too friend
Are you afraid, they'd turn against humans?
Why?
It is going far beyond Sophia actually. That is a rather old prototype.
Look at the latest video by Figure. It is rather impressive for a version 2. What happens when they are to version 5?

New AI-Powered Humanoid Robot Just Dropped: Meet Figure 02
#ai #technology #robot
Impressive update by Figure. I wonder when Tesla will push the latest video demonstration of Optimus.
Speaking of Optimus, I only remember Transformers hehehe... Good franchise.
LOL I meant this.
It's true, I had forgotten hahaha...
It seems that next year these robots will already be working inside the factory. They will then be available on the market.
Until then, I hope the price is affordable, I would love to have a robot like that in my home.
I posted an article about a dark factory in China. It is in the #technology blog. Check it out.
Okay.
It is Musk's own desire to be able to produce millions of units of this robot by 2027.
In my opinion, it will be quite common in people's homes by 2030
I am not sure his targets, if he even released them yet. He did mention some potentials.
Not by 2030 is my guess. Most of these first bots will go into factories and industry. My estimate is 2035 you will see them in the homes in some form.
I had read somewhere about these numbers.
They may be late getting home, but they're sure it won't be long before they get to the factories.
I had a tech conversation with Claude last night. I will post it in here later today.
I would love to know what you talked about.
It was about #technology stuff. As I said, I will post it here.
Who is CLaude?
He is the offspring of Antropic.

Cryptocurrencies resume their rebound, bitcoin retakes $59,000
Cryptocurrencies resumed their rebound from their big sell-off earlier in the week, with bitcoin retaking $59,000.
Cryptocurrencies resumed their rebound from their big sell-off earlier in the week, with bitcoin retaking $59,000.
The price of the flagship cryptocurrency was last higher by 8% at $59,385.40, according to Coin Metrics, rising above the $55,000 floor that has supported it for much of this year.
Ether advanced nearly 10% to $2,584.10, after leading declines in cryptocurrencies and related stocks Wednesday. Both coins are still on pace for weekly losses.

My chat with Claude3:
What is the potential of generative AI?
#technology #ai
Generative AI has significant potential across many domains:
Content creation: It can assist in writing, art, music, and video production, potentially streamlining creative processes.
Software development: AI can help generate code, debug programs, and accelerate software development cycles.
Scientific research: It may aid in hypothesis generation, data analysis, and even drug discovery.
Education: Personalized learning experiences and intelligent tutoring systems could be enhanced.
Business: AI could optimize operations, improve customer service, and aid in strategic decision-making.
Healthcare: It may assist in diagnosis, treatment planning, and drug development.
Language: Improved translation services and language learning tools are possible.
Design and engineering: AI could help in product design, architecture, and engineering simulations.
Environmental solutions: It may contribute to climate modeling and developing sustainable technologies.
Entertainment: New forms of interactive and personalized entertainment experiences could emerge.
However, it's important to note that generative AI also presents challenges, including ethical concerns, potential job displacement, and the need for responsible development and use. The full impact and potential of this technology are still unfolding.
Focus upon content creation. What is the impact of this on traditional media companies?
The impact of generative AI on content creation poses significant challenges and opportunities for traditional media companies:
These impacts suggest that traditional media companies will likely need to adapt significantly, potentially repositioning themselves in the market, investing in new technologies, and finding ways to blend AI capabilities with human expertise to remain competitive and relevant.
Where does the industry stand on text-to-video generative AI? What is the latest on this?
As of my last update in April 2024, text-to-video generative AI was an area of rapid development and significant interest. Here's an overview of where the industry stood:
It's important to note that this field was evolving rapidly, and there may have been significant developments since my last update. I would encourage you to check the latest tech news and research publications for the most current information on text-to-video generative AI.
Why cant text to video do full length films? what is the hold up?
Text-to-video AI has not yet achieved the capability to create full-length films due to several significant challenges:
The primary "hold up" is the sheer complexity of creating a coherent, high-quality, feature-length narrative. While AI can generate short clips or assist in certain aspects of video production, the holistic task of creating a full film involves levels of creativity, consistency, and contextual understanding that current AI systems haven't mastered.
Progress is ongoing, and we may see AI taking on larger roles in film production or creating longer-form content in the future. However, it's likely that human creativity and oversight will remain crucial in the filmmaking process for the foreseeable future.
We have the impact of algorithmic progress with estimates that algorithms improve enough to cut compute times in half every 16 months. However, this was measured on ImageNet, where researchers are directly optimizing for reduced computation costs.
It seems less likely that researchers are doing as good a job at reducing computation costs for “training a transformative model”, and we can increase the halving time to 2-3 years, with a maximum of somewhere between 1-5 orders of magnitude

Warner Bros. is OVER! CNN, Cartoon Network WRITTEN DOWN for $9 BILLION?!
Are you afraid of #ai? Do you think it is a threat?
What are you basing that one?
#technology
I can say that I have more positive expectations than negative when it comes to AI.
In my opinion, fear is irrelevant compared to what we can build and achieve with technological advancement with AI.
But I can't rule out the hypothesis that if we humans lose "control", Skynet will go from fiction to reality.
You still fear skynet? LOL
If, "if" something like this really exists, it won't just be me who will be afraid. LOL
But I don't think that will happen. We humans cannot fail like this one day.
We will connect to it first.
What will it take to get to AGI? How long will it take to get there? And who is going to win the race?
These are all questions the #technology world is asking.
Firstly, what would be AGI?
Then I can say my thoughts.
Artificial General Intelligence.
Basically the point where AI would be better than humans at most things.
I understand now, thank you. It's curious to me, because I've never come across this type of acronym that could refer to AI in this way.
That's interesting.
AGI - Artificial General Intelligence
ASI - Artificial Super Intelligence (some will call this the singularity)
ANI - Artificial Narrow Intelligence
I even saved it here to research better.
Well done, Task. You are diving deep into the wonderful universe of AI.
We are witnessing great advances in several sectors with AI.
I don't think it will be long before we can perhaps one day be surpassed by artificial intelligence.
When it comes to calculations, we are already far surpassed by it. That is what people seem to overlook. There are many areas where it crushes us.
For many of these people, by the time they find out, they will already be very late.
Anduril raises $1.5B at a $14B valuation
Anduril raises $1.5 billion at a $14 billion valuation with the aim of transforming American defense production.
\Defense tech startup Anduril has closed what will almost certainly end up being one of the largest funding rounds of the year: a $1.5 billion deal that values the company at $14 billion.
Anduril has ambitions of becoming the next great American defense contractor, joining a class of companies that has shrunk to just five major firms: Lockheed Martin, RTX, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, and General Dynamics. These companies pull in billions in revenue from business with the U.S. Department of Defense, and their stranglehold on defense production is nearly absolute.

Bilingual dictation assistant Silvia understands 'Spanglish' and other language mixtures
Natural language AI assistants tend to be excellent English speakers, and passable in other tongues — but if you are one of the millions who fluidly
Natural language AI assistants tend to be excellent English speakers, and passable in other tongues — but if you are one of the millions who fluidly switch between two languages on the fly, they’re stumped. A new AI helper called Silvia, however, understands “Spanglish” just fine, with more language combos to come.

AI business agent startup Bardeen pulls in strategic investment from Dropbox and Hubspot
Bardeen has raised $3M to build its platform that uses a natural language interface to automate repetitive knowledge work.
Every day, employees across the world spend incalculable hours performing tediously repetitive tasks, such as, for example, converting documents into PDFs and then uploading them to a drive, from where it’s sucked into a database and emailed to a team. While UiPath helped pioneer this kind of ‘robotic’ process, it’s also pivoted to an AI-driven mode of operation, even as a number of startups (Signavio, Servicetrace, and others) have arrived, snapping at its heels.

It is going to be important to understand the pace of technological advancement is to conclude where we will be in a decade or two.
I will dive into this in the coming days.
Another Hollywood hit.
Warnerbros Discovery had to take a write down of more than $11 billion. This came from their linear television which means the book and market value of these assets were way out of line.
