In a sane world, this lawsuit would be laughed out of court.
The big win I see here is the amount of optimisation they achieved by moving from the high-level CUDA to lower-level PTX. This suggests that developing these models going forward can be made a lot more energy-efficient, something I hope can be extended to their execution as well. As it stands currently, "AI" (read: LLMs and image generation models) consumes way too many resources to be sustainable.
Actually, I'm unclear on that point - do foreign companies actually have to comply, or is it just limited to government communications and government-published maps (e.g. the USGS, etc.)?
Pathetic. Hopefully the rest of the world doesn't follow suit. Renaming it just for one of Trump's ego trips is not a good reason.
This sounds like a really bad idea:
The “most charismatic” application of AI, said Ellison, would pertain to electronic health records, which would let doctors monitor best practices in far flung places. For instance, a doctor in Indian River reservation would be able to see how a doctor at Memorial Sloan Kettering would a treat a patient, he said.
Do we really want to give a black box unfettered access to everyone's medical records? It's a privacy and security nightmare waiting to happen.
Just send him offworld and close the iris.
I guess I'll be avoiding those models when I'm next in the market for a TV, or work out how to disable it/block it at my router if I am forced to connect the TV to the Internet for firmware updates, etc.
Interesting. I can imagine a scenario where the resolution of CCTV is low enough that a mask would impede recognition in that instance. It's definitely not something I would want to rely on, though.
Sorry, but facial recognition software has basically caught up. I would not rely on a mask to prevent me being recognised today:

Indeed not. So using language specific to binary systems - e.g. bits per second - is not appropriate in this context.

This pretty much proves that the US government is experiencing its worst cybersecurity breach ever.
