    Done With Campaign Spam

    Humans Are The Problem

    At Tesla’s We Robot event last week in Los Angeles company CEO Elon Musk unveiled the Optimus line of humanoid-looking robots, but, they didn’t seem to be all that autonomous.  14 State Attorneys General sued TikTok claiming the social media platform was designed with the express intention of addicting young people to the app. Matt Mulleweg, one of the creators of WordPress, and WP Engine, a WordPress-managed host, are going through it legally. And we shine The Tech Jawn Spotlight on Dr. David Harold Blackwell, the first African American inducted into the National Academy of Sciences. Hosted on Acast.

    ChatGPT Ebonics Uno-Reverse

    Brothatech wants to get a new camera to look good on video. He wants something better than a webcam, but, without all the complexity of a DSLR. Maybe we don’t want ChatGPT speaking in ebonics after all because AI seems to make the same racist decisions based on dialect as humans do. Police seldom disclose the use of facial recognition when used to identify suspects and often lie about its use in public-facing reports.  And when you put cameras in glasses, real-time facial recognition was bound to follow.

    Robb Loves NotebookLM

    Verizon experienced a nationwide outage on Monday. An outage any day is bad. Right after a hurricane is particularly bad timing.  Who knew that your interest in electric vehicles could depend on what side of the aisle you sit on politically? It seems like maybe auto manufacturer execs should have known. ChatGPT can speak in ebonics. We do a live test during the show and the feature is surprisingly good. A Common Sense Media Study shows that Black students are twice as likely to have their work flagged as AI-generated when indeed it is not. Link to Show Notes Hosted on Acast.
