It's time to abolish them. (MSN) The colleges? Sounds good to me.If everyone outside hard-core engineering, math or pre-med courses can easily get an A, the whole system loses meaning. It fails to make distinctions between different levels of achievement or to motivate students to work hard on their academic pursuits. All the while, it allows students to pretend—to themselves and to others—that they are performing exceptionally well. Worse, this system creates perverse incentives.

(Reuters) (archive site) Has it been ratified by the Senate? Yeah, that's what I thought. The treaty itself is relatively short at just twelve pages. (PDF) Unfortunately it is utter garbage since the definition of "artificial intelligence" it provides applies to every computer ever built, back to the Hollerith tabulating machines used in the 1890 US census. On the plus side, it has deeply upset the communists by focusing almost entirely on government use of AI rather than corporate or individual use.

(WCCFTech) This makes sense. Altera was a standalone business until 2015 when Intel bought it. Intel already started moves to spin it off late last year, so all they would be doing is bringing plans forward a little. Separating the entire manufacturing division would be a major upheaval for a company that is already a little too upheaved.

(Tech Crunch) The depravity here is threefold: First, a psychotic judge in Brazil violated the country's laws in pursuit of, well, violating the country's laws some more. Second, the banning of Twitter only rated an "in brief" item on Tech Crunch, while this full article is spinning it as a win for a favoured site (as in, not connected to Emmanuel Goldstein).

(AP News) Tomas de Torquemada of the country's Supreme Federal Court has ordered all ISPs in the country - presumably somehow including Starlink - and all app stores to block access to Twitter. Torquemada also ordered app stores to remove VPN software, and ordered a fine of $8900 per day for any company or individual using a VPN to access Twitter. The justification for this is that Twitter doesn't have a legal representative in Brazil.

(Twitter) The aim is clearly to shut down Starlink in the country which would be awkward because it provides critical services for remote schools and hospitals and Brazil's own military.

(MSN) To unpack: OpenSea is a leading marketplace for NFTs. NFTs are in effect digital baseball cards. They have no intrinsic value, but people put value on them largely based on their rarity. A Wells notice is issued by the SEC when they plan to sue a company for violating securities laws. So what the SEC is alleging here is that any collectible item without intrinsic value - baseball cards, Pokemon cards, MTG cards, US senators - is a security subject to the commission's...</summary> <author> <name>Pixy Misa</name> </author> <id>http://ai.mee.nu//daily_news_stuff_29_august_2024</id> </entry> <entry> <title>Daily News Stuff 28 August 2024</title> <link href="http://ai.mee.nu/daily_news_stuff_28_august_2024"/> <updated>2024-08-28T18:23:16Z</updated> <summary>Stawbey Edition Top Story Why AI can't spell "strawberry". (Tech Crunch) I've said before that currently popular AI models - which is to say, Large Language Models or LLMs - don't understand anything at all except language. They're language models. That's what they do, and it's all they do. Except that's not quite true, because they don't understand language in any real way either.The failure of large language models to understand the concepts of letters and syllables is indicative of a larger truth that we often forget: These things don’t have brains. They do not think like we do.

(WCCFTech) No, seriously. It's an average of 11% faster across a broad range of games, and up to 35% in the case of Gears 5. This is great news if you just got a new AMD system and were disappointed with the performance gains over the previous generation.

(The Verge) Black Myth Wukong is a new Chinese computer game based on the 16th century novel Journey to the West. One of many such adaptations, including the TV show Monkey and the anime Dragon Ball. Anyway, as far as journalists are concerned, the developers of Black Myth Wukong made the unforgivable error of not actively hating their own customers, even going so far as to not hire expert bankruptcy...</summary> <author> <name>Pixy Misa</name> </author> <id>http://ai.mee.nu//daily_news_stuff_26_august_2024</id> </entry> <entry> <title>Daily News Stuff 25 August 2024</title> <link href="http://ai.mee.nu/daily_news_stuff_25_august_2024"/> <updated>2024-08-25T17:41:39Z</updated> <summary>Pour Encourager Les Autres Edition Top Story Pavel Durov, founder and CEO of messaging app Telegram, has been arrested in Paris on charges of...

We don't know exactly, but allegedly because the Russian government had assumed de facto control of the company, wanted him gone, and wasn't too fussy about how he left. China subsequently banned VKontakte as a tool of the Russian government, but China bans everyone.
