Selected excerpts: "The question, then, is not whether A.I. will change the world. It will. The question is: Who will own and control that future? Who will benefit from it, and who will be hurt by it? Will A.I. be used to make life better for working families? Will it enrich our quality of life? Will it help us eliminate poverty, extend life expectancies and solve the climate crisis? Or will the future of humanity be determined by a handful of billionaires who have promoted and developed A.I., with virtually no democratic input, who stand to become even richer and more powerful than they are today? That is the choice before us. Let us be clear. Artificial intelligence was not created out of thin air. The data and language used by generative A.I. tools didn’t just pop into Sam Altman’s head or Elon Musk’s imagination. A.I. is built on our collective intelligence: our books, songs, artwork, journalism, computer code, scientific research, videos, conversations, images and ideas spanning generations. That is not just the opinion of Bernie Sanders. According to Mr. Altman, the head of OpenAI, A.I. models were trained on our 'collective experience, knowledge' and 'learnings of humanity.' For the most part, tech oligarchs have fed this knowledge into their A.I. models without permission, without acknowledgment, without compensation. In other words, the creative work of millions of people — writers, artists, musicians, journalists, teachers, scientists and ordinary citizens — has essentially been stolen by some of the wealthiest people in the world. It’s time for us to reclaim it. That is why I will soon be introducing the American A.I. Sovereign Wealth Fund Act. This legislation would give the public a direct ownership stake in the largest A.I. companies in our country. How? It would create a sovereign wealth fund through a one-time 50 percent tax — not on the profits of OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI and other companies, but paid with something far more valuable than that: the st
Google announced it will open a flagship store in Tokyo this summer, the first of its kind outside of the United States.
Hi everyone, We're building an automation platform using Playwright where all browser automation runs on the backend. For portals that require manual intervention (OTP, CAPTCHA, MFA, document uploads, etc.), we're exploring a way to let users temporarily view and interact with the running backend browser from our React application, after which automation would resume automatically. Our goals are: Keep all automation logic on the backend Support human intervention only when necessary Scale to bulk processing workflows Deploy reliably in production We're currently evaluating approaches such as CDP screencasting, VNC/noVNC, and WebRTC-based browser streaming. Has anyone built something similar in production? What architecture did you choose, and what were the biggest challenges around scalability, latency, security, session management, and CAPTCHA/OTP workflows? Also, is there a better alternative than live browser streaming for this use case? Any advice, experiences, or open-source projects would be greatly appreciated. submitted by /u/Loud_Ice4487 [link] [留言]
Shopify Staff Engineer Guilherme Carreiro discusses building and scaling highly customizable platforms. Using Shopify’s Liquid theme system as a case study, he explains how to balance extreme design flexibility with low-latency performance under massive traffic. He shares insights on implementing secure domain-specific languages, native code extensions, and resilient developer tooling. By Guilherme Carreiro
Nvidia has officially entered the world of consumer laptop chips with the RTX Spark, and several device makers already have hardware lined up for it. Microsoft, Asus, HP, MSI, Lenovo, and Dell are expected to launch RTX Spark laptops sometime this fall, and some of those partner companies have shared details about what we can […]
A bit of background about myself: I have been accepted to RWTH Aachen's Computer Science program starting this fall, and one of the things that I am genuinly excited about is exploring the intersection of astrophysics and machine learning. The tricky part is that RWTH's CS department doesn't have a research group focused directly on this intersection. The two closest things I have found are the Quantum Information Systems group (I plan to reach out to the them once I am on campus to understand a bit more about them) and the Learning on Graphs group which does foundational GNN research. The second one got me thinking: graph neural networks feel like they could be well-suited to astrophysicla data, things like galaxy formation, cosmic web structure or particle interaction data all seem graph-like (or am I being waaaay too optimistic here?) So my questions for people who know this space better than I do: Are GNN's already being used in astrophysics research? What other ML subfields would you point someone toward if they are interested in this intersection? I know I could have applied to a more well-suited university for my needs, but RWTH Aachen was my top choice because I am a math nerd and I really like their way of teaching. So do help a brother out. Thanks in advance!!!! submitted by /u/pandemic_179 [link] [留言]
ok this is gonna sound dumb but bear with me I write a lot for work, marketing/copy stuff mostly, and over the last ~14 months ive slid from "use AI to clean up my draft" to "use AI to make the draft" to honestly not really writing anything on my own anymore. like i hadnt put a complete thought on paper without a model in the loop for months. didnt even notice it happening tbh. last weekend i tried to write a journal entry. just for me, no audience. nothing fancy. sat there for like 20 minutes trying to remember how to start a sentence that didnt have a thesis at the front of it. i kept wanting to write "Today I noticed three things about my mood." and then realising — wait, no, thats a chatgpt sentence. nobody writes that. but i couldnt remember the person-version. eventually wrote some half-garbage about being tired and what i ate and a weird thing my sister said about her landlord. it read like a 12 year olds diary which, fine, i guess thats what a journal is supposed to be but the embarassing part. i had to physically stop my hand from opening the chat app to "help with the wording". my brain was treating writing like a thing AI does, not a thing i do. felt like reaching for a phantom limb. idk man. anyone else fine until they try to write something with no audience? like the second the audience disappears the chatgpt brain pattern is whats left underneath? not really asking for advice or anything. just wanted to say it out loud somewhere submitted by /u/Napster3301 [link] [留言]
Like, no matter which topic I'm researching, whether it's sports or nutrition or technical stuff, it's hallucinating all the fucking time. Then, in vscode, when using pro 3.5 via API, it constantly ignores coding instructions, it constantly isn't able to fix the simplest mistakes in the code, it repeats the same mistakes over and over and fucking over again and then apologizes ("oh sorry, you were right"). Like what the fuck? This is extremely bad quality, how the hell is this even still viable? submitted by /u/eternal_sunshineeeee [link] [留言]
With true plug-and-play support, versatile connectivity, and excellent sound, Universal Audio’s Volt 876 makes recording simple.
The AI productivity paradox states that AI scales whatever abstraction it is built on. If that abstraction is structurally brittle, it scales structural brittleness. This article shows how, to build a future of reliable, AI-driven test automation, we must stop scaling DOM-centric abstractions and build a new testing paradigm grounded in perception and intent.

Michael Stiefel spoke to Sonya Natanzon, about the intersection of technical and social aspects of software architecture. Understanding the business and how a company operates is more important than the specific technologies used. Effective requirements analysis requires focusing on problems to be solved that describe good and bad outcomes, rather than statements of need or solution statements. By Sonya Natanzon
Dozens of people have complained to the Federal Trade Commission about Norse Atlantic Airways’ tech-first customer service operation. Some said they lost thousands of dollars.
I tried to explain OpenAI’s solution more clearly than OpenAI did.
