The ‘machine defendant’: Who’s to blame when AI makes mistakes?
  • Well most of human management can't be held accountable (unless they step on the toes of someone above them) so honestly, what would be the difference?

    Horrors We've Unleashed
  • But keep in mind there are a lot of invasive populations of mosquitoes and some of them are disease carrying species. Since they're invasive, by definition they're not vital to the natural ecosystem and those populations could be safely wiped out.

    Roommates
  • I'm guessing he was trying to boil water in a aluminium pan and forgot about it? I'm also guessing said roommate must have left, because a burning non-stick coating would be rather noticeable.

    I mean, I did something kinda like that as a kid, I forgot a aluminium bottomed steel pan once and managed to melt the base (thankfully with no non-stick coating fumes).

    Silicon Valley is debating if AI weapons should be allowed to decide to kill
  • At long last we've created killer drones from the cautionary short film "Slaughterbots".

    Of course, given how jank what we've decided to call "AI" is if you tried to make a real Slaughterbot it'd probably be blowing up random people or patches of the wall that it thought looked like a face.

    Please Don’t Make Me Download Another App | Our phones are being overrun
  • I was thinking about that a while back. There's got to be some sort of upper limit to collecting data being useful. I mean at some point it becomes more economical to just buy the data from one other thousands of companies data mining phones rather then going to all the trouble of building and maintaining your own data mining app.

    UFO 50 is a retro gamer's dream - I highly recommend it
  • I'm holding off on buying this until I clear some stuff in my backlog (and hopefully getting the game at a deeper discount).

    However from the videos I've watched my only criticism is that some of the games look rather complex and would benefit from supplying more information than a small blurb and a controls page. I wish UFO 50 had taken a page from Retro Game Challenge and had some in-universe game manuals and magazines. Still, since I'm planning on buying it at some point obviously not a deal breaker.

    He puts it on top of the lettuce to leak all over it.
  • Ugh... this reminds me of the time I spotted some hotdogs tucked into a non-refrigerated endcap at a local store. Since they were already room temperature (and as such no longer food safe) I just left them there with the assumption that the staff would clean them up after hours. I went back to the store about a week later and noticed the hot dogs were still there.

    Thousands of toxins from food packaging found in humans – research
  • Ugh...

    A "toxin" is a poisonous substance produced by a living organism. While all toxins are toxic to something, not all things that are toxic are toxins. As an example caffeine would meet the definition of a toxin (poisonous to insects and mammals in sufficient doses), arsenic would not (poisonous to almost all life, but not produced by a living organism).

    Sorry for being so pedantic, but this is a pet peeve of mine.

    Since there is no thread about this on Lemmy, I figured I may as well make one in case someone hadn't heard about it.

    Anyway, a new app called Netpass has been released that allows Streetpass over the internet. The app is still kinda rough, a few games like Tomodachi Life have a minor bugs, but for the most part it works almost exactly like if you conventionally streetpassed someone.

    So I was browsing SteamDB.info looking at the various games on sale when I noticed there were a bunch of games (usually from the publisher Hede, but there's quite a few others) listed as having a discount in the high nineties, yet still costing in the neighborhood of 30-50 dollars. Even odder when I go to the game's Steam, it's not listed as being on sale and costs the... "normal" price of $99.99.

    I'm just wondering A) What the scam is here, B) How a SteamDB.info is getting $99.99 dollar game as costing 30-ish dollars when it's 97% off but at the same time it's apparently not actually on sale?
