on Owners mourn spoiled food after firmware update bricks Samsung smart fridges in c/technology@lemmy.world · 1d ago
I’ve got a Samsung fridge. Don’t be me.
To use the buttons inside the fridge (for temp control, etc), you have to push the “unlock keys” button for 3 seconds. This isn’t a nuclear missile launcher, it’s a fridge. Idiots.
To clean the bottom shelves, you have to uninstall them… this is an absurdly difficult task. I had to look up how to do so online. It’s infuriating. It’s a shelf.
The ice maker has one vulnerability; ice. If the fridge temperature is too cold (under 38f) the ice machine doesn’t work.
Fortunately, I didn’t connect it to network. I hate it.

Many are tired of being milked at every possible angle.
That’s the problem. The milking.

on AI staff 'genuinely frightened' for humanity's future, ex-Anthropic researcher tells BBC in c/technology@lemmy.world · 4d ago
It’s been reported a few times that Ukraine is already using AI for drones.
The human operator chooses the target, the AI takes over and eliminates the target.
Is that “just an LLM”?
Seems more capable than that to me. But, I don’t know if this is actually true, or just a claim to frighten the Russians (and me).

I’m not an expert, but I’d bet my first born this is a “discrete” PR campaign.

on "Apolitical" rule in c/onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 17 Sep 2026
“Apolitical” isn’t reinforcing anything, therefore it’s not conservative.
If you don’t participate in, say, watching the Oscars, you’re not “reinforcing the Oscars.”
If you don’t participate in America’s sport, say, baseball, you’re not “reinforcing baseball”
If you don’t participate in Sunday school, you’re not “reinforcing Catholicism”
… and so on.

on Bernie Sanders says if AI is coming for workers, it should bring a four-day workweek with it in c/technology@lemmy.world · 16 Sep 2026
“Should”
The USA left “should” in about 1950. There is no “should” here.
Workers were abandoned by the Democrats long ago. Union membership is now less than 10% (and most of that is government employees, ironically)… it was almost 50% back in the “good old days”.
There is no labor party in the USA, there is no anti-war party, there is no anti-billionaire party. There should be. But there’s not.

on Bernie Sanders proposes 20 year prison sentence for AI devs who plow ahead with Artificial Superintelligence plans - penalty on par with illegally developing rogue nuclear weapons in c/technology@lemmy.world · 14 Sep 2026
We can’t even punish blatantly obvious theft and bribery in our own government, at this point, why bother with another law?
I like Bernie, but he seems so quaint now compared to what he is up against. Good luck guy

on ‘The People Building AI Earnestly Believe That It Could Kill Us All’: Anthropic Researcher Quits Dramatically in c/technology@lemmy.world · 9 Sep 2026
you genuinely 100% truly believed that you were building a bomb that would blow you up you would stop making it.
Utterly absurd claim.
It’s been proven wrong for decades, repeatedly. You can’t possibly be more wrong. This is as wrong as wrong gets.
Look at history of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons.

We all know. Everyone on Earth knew we were doomed the moment robot dogs started patrolling. It will be horrifying, we’ll look back on World War II and think “those were the good old days”.

on LG smart TVs caught logging audio with screen off and snooping on local devices in c/technology@lemmy.world · 7 Sep 2026
This is perfectly legal for a reason.
Are they monitoring everyone closely? No.
Are they monitoring those running for office, those they find “of interest”, certain key words and phrases, and so on?
CERTAINLY.
AI helps them to sort through the noise; this is the Patriot Act manifest. Companies are eager to comply.
Decades ago, they would have to “wire” your house to monitor you, tapping your phone and the like.
Today, they simply have to notice you, and they can get all of the data they want at will.
If your goal is political and unpopular with the powers that be, using the internet or phone will never be even vaguely secure. The TV is watching you… and the fridge and the washing machine and so on.
If you think your device is secure; that very same device is guaranteed to be insecure. They are supremely interested in those who want “secret” communications.

on Elon Musk’s xAI used child porn to train Grok models, lawsuit says in c/technology@lemmy.world · 29 Aug 2026
I don’t believe ANY AI company using internet data to train AI has gone through all of the data to insure it’s not absolute shite.
That seems pretty obvious when you realize that AI is stupid. Most people are stupid, AI is stupid. Tons of pedophiles, AI makes kiddy porn. Millions of racists, AI is racist.
Once I realized this, AI made sense. Checks out.

Nothing here was your problem, if you don’t like it you should GO ELSEWHERE or STFU.
Just an idea. If you don’t like my idea, that’s fine. Don’t like it? Go elsewhere. Can’t? Not my problem, STFU.

on A Drone Killed Three Ukrainians. It Was Guided Entirely by A.I. in c/technology@lemmy.world · 24 Aug 2026
Both Russia and Ukraine were already using A.I. in multiple drone models before the fully autonomous drones emerged. In those earlier models, A.I. is used only for what is known as the “last mile” — the final stage of the attack, after a remote human pilot has selected the target. Fully autonomous A.I. removes humans from the final target selection.
Not much different from what they were already doing.
Once we hear about such things, it’s been happening for years. I suspect they have been testing AI for a decade and are now refining it. Like a beta.
Look at the construction on that captured drone; looks like it would cost five dollars at a garage sale. Virtually the only cost of these things would be the electronics, even the explosives are cheap.
So, every time that you’ve “proved” that you’re human by selecting “what is a crosswalk?” and so on, it’s just one more data point for an autonomous killer robot made of Styrofoam. It’s not even cool like a T-800 Terminator robot.

on One In Five Drivers Switches Off The Safety Tech Meant To Save Their Lives in c/technology@lemmy.world · 23 Aug 2026
The ones I am familiar with just beep loudly with the reason why super-imposed barely legibly on the dash.
Constantly distracting, for me I’d rather pay attention to the road then look for your various pop-ups.
I am not exaggerating, anytime you’d look away from the road it would alert. There’s another road there and I am looking at the traffic. Shut the fuck up.
ETA it resets with an update. Intolerable.
I am not buying a new car again, something has happened to quality and design standards in my opinion. Old man yelling at clouds.
Don’t they have to be old to have used “Old Google”? It’s about 30 years old, seems appropriate that the users of old Google would be 40s at minimum, yeah?
