ReplyHe tried to buy the NFL’s Buffalo Bills pro football team back about 2014. He was in the pool of 6 final bidders the NFL chose and was asked to submit financial records to show he could either buy the team or could raise funds for it with solid collateral backing, but instead he submitted a letter with a copy of a Fortune Magazine article listing him as one of the wealthier people in the United States. The NFL turned him down
ReplyGood story
Reply1:44 — “Artificial General Intelligence—the latest version of AI.” This is not correct. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is the objective of machine learning, where an AI system can make critical decisions absolutely on its own, often better than a human. A lot of people thought GPT-3 had glimmers of AGI, but now we know its purpose is simply to generate believable sounding text based on its training data.
I think what she means to say is Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) which provides training data (images or text) to machine learning algorithms. This can be things like DALL-E or Midjourney for images, Sora for video, and ChatGPT for text.
Just think it’s important in these segments that we start to introduce the proper terminology to educate the public.
ReplyIf Trump Senior has 5 kids by 3 wives and is traveling south at 50 mph, and Trump Junior has 5 kids by one wife and is traveling west at 40 mph, how many indictments until the 2 men meet in prison?
ReplyKara’s been around forever and definitely one of the most shrewd and “most feared” journalists covering tech. Definitely one to keep tabs on.
ReplyI haven’t watched one of these interviews in forever. President of the USA? Who cares?
Gotta listen to what Kara Swisher has to say.
ReplyCan’t wait to read it!
ReplyWhen you mix religion with politics you get a couple of hundred years of entitlement for the few paid from the misery of the test. I am talking UK here. You don’t have a Cromwell.
ReplyKara for President !!!!!
ReplyIf Dwyane Johnson and Oprah are talking about government payments when they once spoke about Maui rebuilding donations, it’s probably AI.
Replyhaha, Seth, you weren’t there when the wheel was invented. But, hey, you had Biden on the show, you could’ve asked him what it was like.
ReplyWe love kara swisher
ReplyWell, it’s hard for a government to crack down on the people who give them huge bribes I guess? A LOT of politicians even trade stock ffs, many of them likely benefited from their own tax cuts under trump, I’d say your government is a racket, but so it Canada’s (and people’s knee-jerk is to vote for ol’ Skimmed desantis himself, weenie poilievre).
…it’s very easy to land on your feet when people keep giving you new billions to spunk up the wall on idiotic business ideas. It takes a very special kind of idiot to try to sell vodka when he’s publicly a teetotaler, their are reasons workers ABSOLUTELY hate it when engineers who’ve never worked in the field design ‘solutions’. Throughout most of recorded history, the people who managed the workers made a point of being among them (modern race-based slavery was actually what caused this to change fwiw, the workers were supposed to be their own ‘caste’ in the ‘new world’ the capitalists were building), to actually see what the problems were that needed solving. trump is exactly one of those engineers who’s never been in the trench who designs a tank that gets stuck if it tries to cross one… this was a huge problem in WW1, look up some of those tank designs, they’d be adorable if they weren’t designed to kill and maim, everything is tin-plated and full of shot traps, people could shoot through tanks with especially big rifles, and many tanks had so many crew that people risked dying of heat stroke to serve in one. He doesn’t understand anything because he’s never actually worked in any field, yet he thinks because his daddy inherited a bunch of money he only has good ideas.
