OP is taking videos of his baby with these when Meta's page here doesn't event mention data privacy or security of the user's information or how it protects them


All babies look the same, out of anything private you could film by mistake, a baby seems pretty harmless.


Face recognition is uninuitively good. Google Photos was able to pick out faces from my baby photos pretty easily.


I was thinking about that a while ago and came to the conclusion that it's likely massively helped out by the narrow search space. They aren't trying to match between every single person, just the ones in your photo library which is an extremely small group compared to what most facial recognition is doing.


Google's face recognition can't tell the difference between my 5yo and my newborn. And, most hilarious, my 8yo could unlock my wife's iPhone with face recognition when she was 2yo.


Google Photos works in a near perfect extremely constrained closed system: your photos have fewer than a hundred faces, it likely biases uncertainties with more confidence due to those constraints.


Funny because I don't use the feature and in my review tab I have like 15 versions of myself that google thinks are all different people for me to individually name. Mostly different phases of facial hair.


Custom ads based on your baby facial expressions 15 years later?


Really? Mine lumps together completely unrelated people whilst failing to group together the same person.


Well. Until that film or metadata getting uploaded on Meta servers or checked by some local child-safety AI, getting flagged for inappropriate meterial and police knocking on your door.


I disagree with your assumption, but you also need to consider that the baby is going to be a person for decades.



Yeah and stupid babies are too stupid to consent anyway


Note: user has baby.


Now hammer them with ads designed to guilt trip parents. +1 surveillance capitalism.


Yes, it does, the link to Data & Privacy is at the bottom.


This is the live operations dashboard/tracker that the Ukraine Unmanned Systems Forces launched


I found this online demo of it: https://www.nikse.dk/subtitleedit/online


If only shareholders had the proper shares to vote against this dilettante.

Looking forward to reading "The rise and fall of Zuck"


Shareholder, not shareholders.

The shares have different voting rights, and Zuck has majority control that way.


I prefer to focus my activism toward the companies of the shares I don't hold


this is why the world never gets better


I suppose it is somewhat subjective but it seems to be the world has always been getting better when you zoom out a bit


This is what I expect. Theyre Not hiring even engineers. By the time they have a strategy, plan, hire, and act on that plan they will be behind the curve, and force to use the $ to acquire someone who did.


Well this is blatantly false, she linked the career page and I know of people that received offers recently.

They have very strong talent from Meta's FAIR/Pytorch teams as well as a lot of strong people from OAI.


This is wrong. they have strong engineering and a product coming this year


While you are seeing in to the future, can you tell me the Powerball numbers?


the product is announced and their hires are public


Or this isn't real and is just a scare tactic


I just did a little AI-based research without mentioning him and sure enough, Thomas Aquinas is one of the roots/pillars that others stand on.


Source on the 100+ drone pilots an cell carriers? I've been hoping to find an article on how they staged the pilots for manual guidance. I imagined they would have had to tunnelled all that traffic to each operator from the truck, but the cell towers is clever


DARPA might be an exception to that rule. I've always been inspired by dARPA


We need a cross-cutting examination of how bad 'economics' is as a science, outside of a narrow defined set of measurable parameters


Economics is a great way of looking at the world as long as you acknowledge its limitations. I think you're conflating an economist with economics. Economists are human with all that entails.



Absolutely terrible.

The foundations of economics are built on school boy style maths errors.

They have famous "paradoxes" and results that are just bad maths.

It's a ridiculous joke of a research field.


If you’re going to dismiss an entire field, you could at least point to specifics that are widely held tenants.


A rational actor has never, does not now, and will never exist.

Despite what social media stoics say.
