AI
The guy who predicted the AI change ten years ago has a new prediction. AI will lower the prices of everything, which will lower wages. 47% of jobs will be lost over time, but those jobs will be worth more.
A new AI geometry system to build from drone footage. It doesn't look super important, but the mainland user will be making more city games quickly from it.
An AI text to image that specifically does hot anime girls.

Tom Scott talks about how ChatGPT created a piece of code for him, and why it scared him. At 15 minutes long this video gives a fairly good idea of the fears and worries many have for AI.

A controlled hybrid program has been shown to work. This is where all the meetings and group stuff happens on a single day, and then everyone goes back to working at home the rest of the week. The research shows it works, is better for everyone involved, and solves most of the problems. Bosses who want absolute control hate it.
Z Library, with all of its academic papers and books,has returned with a new method. Instead of a single address, each user is given their own special address to use. If that one is compromised, it's only that one. The library can also be found on Tor.
Using controlled sound, a team at the Max Planck institute has been able to assemble smaller bits into a wanted shape. They were able to do this with various bit, including human matter. This makes 3D printing way faster, and able to use multiple materials at the same time.

The new Toyota CEO has several new people in the board. There is a variety of ideas and methods being presented by this all Japanese group. Bloomberg can't help but notice it doesn't have women. I can't help pointing out we need a new Celica GTS.
I didn't read it but I assumed that was his framing. Even knowing he must mean "AI's going to take our jobs", it reminded me of the Google engineer who claimed their chatbot was sentient and got scared.
As long as one knows the difference between sentient and sapient, it's not a problem.
A Google chatbot is neither. :)
I would hesitate to call even ChatGTP sentient as well, but it's on the cusp perhaps.
