I hate you!

She's still possessed.
|
As Wired explains, the software engineer in question
|
used a service called JobGPT
|
from the accurately named Lazy Apply
|
and landed around 20 interviews out of the 5,000 applications,
|
compared to the other 20 interviews he got after manually applying to 200 to 300 jobs.
|
40 interviews and still unemployed.
|
I'm not sure the amount of applications is the problem.
|
Some recruiters quoted in the article are okay with the applicants using AI tools,
|
but others likened it to asking out every woman in the bar
|
regardless of who they are,
|
which is apparently a bad thing.
|
Oh, well, sorry for being too nice, my lady.
|
And it'd be nice if all you came back on Friday
|
for more tech news, no matter who you are,
|
unless you're Jeffrey Gardner from middle school.
|
F*** you, Jeff.
|
Stop where you are.
|
How did you access this feed?
|
This stream requires level five security clearance.
|
I'm just kidding.
|
This is pre-recorded video.
|
I can't do anything.
|
Former Apple product designers have launched the Humane AI pin.
|
It's essentially a $700 GPT-4 powered shirt dongle
|
with cell service, cameras, and a laser projector.
|
But it may not be as stupid as it looks.
|
Humane's founders are former Apple exec,
|
Bethany Bongiorno, Bongiorno, something,
|
and designer Imran Chaudhri, who going by his website,
|
apparently did nothing for 20 years but file patents.
|
That may explain why he looks like he needs a nap all the time.
|
Humane says the pin doesn't run apps.
|
It simply accomplishes whatever you tell it to using AI,
|
but its camera and mics are not always recording.
|
You have to tap it and you'll hear audio come out of its personic speaker,
|
creating an intimate bubble of sound,
|
unlike other speakers that don't do bubbles at all.
|
Elton John did walls.
|
When you do want the camera to record,
|
the AI pin's trust light will turn on,
|
which is ironic, given you should never trust someone wearing that many bracelets.
|
You can hold up your hand to access some controls by a laser,
|
but you can also hold up nuts like D's
|
and ask the dongle,
|
how much protein is this?
|
How much protein is in D's nuts?
|
It's unclear if this feature will work on anything the camera can see.
|
Strangely, even though Chaudhri said the AI pin has a quote,
|
it runs a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset,
|
and that means it's really fast.
|
It erroneously listed the best places to see the next total solar eclipse
|
as Exmouth, Australia and East Timor,
|
which are the best places to see this year's eclipse back in April.
|
Similar, easily provable errors were made
|
during the unveiling of both Bing Chat and Google Bart,
|
and you'd think there'd be a lesson here,
|
but to be fair,
|
Imran may have been sleep talking in the video.
|
We can't tell.
|
Humane will have until next year to fix the AI pin when it launches for $699 at $700,
|
plus they required $24 a month subscription.
|
I can't wait.
|
I can.
|
Pre-order.
|
In more AI news,
|
OpenAI blamed a DDoS attack for its periodic outages on Wednesday,
|
according to a status page that doesn't exactly scream $29 billion company.
|
Initially, OpenAI's CEO and backup video game character asset, Sam Altman, said,
|
ChatGPT's new features were simply more popular than the company had anticipated.
|
Turns out that popularity was actually malice,
|
as misleadingly named hacktivist group Anonymous Sudan claimed responsibility for the attack.
|
The next day, OpenAI became unpopular with best friend and possibly lover Microsoft
|
when the company blocked its employees from using ChatGPT.
|
You'd think it was a response to the attack,
|
but Microsoft claims the block was an error,
|
or maybe they don't feel the same connection anymore.
|
These days, there's a lot more AI fish in the sea, after all.
|
Samsung's newly announced Gauss.
|
Gauss can supposedly translate audio and text in real time.
|
That's pretty hot.
|
And Amazon says its Olympus AI's parameters are double the size of GPT-4's.
|
We understand if you're having second thoughts, Microsoft.
|
You're a trillion-dollar company.
|
At some point, you'll leave your current AI wife for a younger model.
|
Speaking of Amazon's massive assets,
|
the company is now offering low-cost primary health care as a Prime membership benefit.
|
Did your arm fall off?
|
Prime members...
|
Members can get same-day delivery directly to a surgical suite.
|
Is this true or not?
|
I can't...
|
this is Black Mirror.
|
I don't know.
|
That's a joke, right?
|
Seriously, though, for an extra $9 a month or $100 per year,
|
members can get 24-7 on-demand virtual care
|
and schedule next-day or even same-day appointments
|
at hundreds of primary care offices across the US.
