It will. But if you frame it as wage, it’s giving everyone a 1.5c/h pay rise to watch them. Many companies would take that. And that’s not considering the local models that are essentially free. Again I don’t think most are doing it.
And you’re right the paperwork and actually getting something built and installed and working across a company would be a massive hurdle. I’m just saying price isn’t really. Especially if they’re a company already paying for AI in some way.
I believe the vast majority aren’t, and I know money is money, but it’s not that expensive. Not only are there vision models small enough to run locally entirely free now on hardware more modest than you would think, even using an api key from open router and sending it a screenshot every 15 seconds to summarise it into a log costs in the realm of 1.5c/hour.
Now yes that is per person, but even so, 10 employees 15c/h, 100 for $1.50/h. And remember this is an unreasonably often every 15 seconds. Most would be happy per minute or even less. Under 40c/h to watch 100 people. It’s money yes, but it really isn’t that expensive.
Edit: voice is also cheaper than you would think to have a model stt and summarise it, also single digit cents per hour of audio.
I feel like if you have it often your store has particularly bad machines or you’re accidentally doing something wrong. Granted there’s no tutorial and they have a lot of things that can trip them up, but I’m a daily shopper, sometimes twice daily because it’s in close walking distance to me, and I have to have someone come over maybe once a month, and even then it’ll usually be for approving something like a gift card or knife rather than an error.
Same in Australia regarding doubling down. They’re giving trolleys with an ipad thing on them you scan everything with, and increasing the exit area security so you cannot leave without the staff opening it if you didn’t buy anything, and AI based cameras all over the store and gates that judge whether it should open for you after buying things.
It’s a mix of awesome and horrible.
You can see your entire steam purchase history which will include them.
I just wish they had “headphones”/audio out.
To a solar panel functioning? Not really.
Yeah unfortunately that was generally considered fake in the end. Basically it’s not entirely impossible but it’s harder than it’s ever been.
If you look deep into the switch 2 hacking scene, you’ll find the non optimistic consensus is there is a real chance it will never be cracked, hacked or emulated. The effort put into the engineering to protect it finally caught up. Unique encryption keys per console so that even if one managed to get hacked there is no immediately widespread solution like the past. Fuses that burn themselves and brick the device at any sign of tampering. No clear path or gap towards progress. They stepped up in a massive way and there’s no reason to think Sony won’t follow.
Social reasons. It’s easier to just do it than have a 5 year old not understand why they’re the only one that misses out, or explain the whole thing and expect a 5 year old to keep it secret from their friends, pissing off all the other parents when they tell them, all to avoid doing something that’s just a bit of fun anyway and isn’t likely to destroy your kids trust in you for life by itself.
Jokes on them, I occasionally forgot when my kid told me and just had to say I guess the tooth fairy was extra busy. Once I forgot 2 nights in a row. So this wouldn’t have been conclusive data.
Criticise llm all you want but it’s successfully walked me through some really technical things that I had no idea how to do.
Sure dude keep trying to convince yourself people have issues for posting comments on comment threads.
If you can’t see why people subjectively like new stuff, that’s not something anyone can really help you with. You’re welcome to watch the office or whatever on repeat for the rest of your life, or simply not watch TV, but to say you fundamentally can’t understand why anyone would watch anything new says more about you than them.
I’m curious what your problem with enpass was? I got lifetime cheap back when lastpass went to hell and as far as I can tell with Wifi sync they could go out of business entirely and I could still use it.
For a chart to be expressing over diagnosis, the line representing diagnosis number would have to go higher than the line representing actual number.
Silly take. Almost nothing will stop it long term if they want it, illegal or not. And thinking of ideas that potentially could, that a single person could genuinely pull off, is not simple, no matter how serious you are.
God this is beyond ridiculous.
They used ChatGPT to sort over 1,400 National Endowment for the Humanities grants into spreadsheets. Their exact prompt to the AI was “Does the following relate at all to DEI? Respond factually in less than 120 characters. Begin with ‘Yes.’ or ‘No.’ followed by a brief explanation.”
They didn’t define what they meant by DEI. They just asked ChatGPT to figure it out. And then cancelled grants based on whatever it said. Probably didn’t even read past the yes or no.
The government’s defence was essentially ChatGPT did it, not us. When asked if he regretted people losing income, he said he didn’t, because reducing the deficit was more important. When asked if they actually reduced the deficit, he admitted they did not.
They caused real harm, achieved nothing they claimed to be pursuing, and expressed zero regret about it.
Just really horrible all around.
Yeah my backlog is so big now that I could probably be happy without ever buying another game. Of course there are some I still will just from being a fan of the ip or if something really interesting comes out but yeah I’m certainly not rushing out the door to grab it.
Not posting this to defend them but because the nuance matters to understanding what is happening better.
The $80.7 billion loss looks huge, but most of it isn’t straight cash, about $72 billion is a paper charge. Anthropic issued bonds that can turn into shares. This means they get more valuable as the company does, and Anthropic has to count that rise as a loss. So it’s actually a case of the loss being “higher” the more the company is valued.
The actual reported operating loss in all 2025 was around $8.1 billion on $4.6 billion of revenue, with Anthropic saying it’s now profitable on an adjusted basis, though the adjustment is their own way of counting and what will be under scrutiny.
