I’m calling bullshit on this. There is no way there is that much copper in one of those cameras. However, if you find a red light camera that looks like a big birdhouse or a mailbox… I’ve heard that those cameras might be more worth your time
Those cameras are specialty built. There was some guy that stole a bunch of those cameras and got busted because he wasn’t able to offload the cameras and eventually tried craigslist.
Because they’re not just taking a picture when triggered - they stream full motion video back to HQ full time. That should tell you how much money is up for grabs.
If you really want to know, the answer is long and boring (I got this from a comment where I found the meme):
This is a small section of the stone cuneiform tablet with the accession number 58.31.57 in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It’s about Ashurnasirpal II, 9th century BCE. This is the complete translation, not really that funny:
1–11a. Ashurnasirpal (II), great king, mighty king, king of the universe, king of Assyria; son of Tukulti-Ninurta (II), great king, mighty king, king of the universe, king of Assyria; grandson of Adad-nirari (II) (the also) was great king, mighty king, king of the universe, king of Assyria; valiant man who acts with the support of Ashur, his lord, and has no rival among the princes of the four quarters; the king who subdues those insubordinate to him, who rules all peoples, strong male, who treads upon the necks of his foes, trampler of all enemies, the one who breaks up the forces of the rebellious, the one who acts with the support of the great gods, his lords, and has conquered all lands; the one who rules all the highlands, spared and received their tribute, capture of hostages, the one who is victorious over all the lands.
11b–29a. When Aššur, the lord who called my name (and) who makes my sovereignty supreme, placed his lordly weapon in my (ready) arms, I felled with the sword the extensive troops of the Lullumaean insubmissive troops in a single day. Those troops, discomfited, retreated; I cut down their extensive (battle) lines with the help of Šamaš and Adad, the gods my supporters. I brought their booty, possessions, against the troops of the Na’iri lands, the Habatu, the land Šubaru, and the land Nirdue. The king who marched from opposite Tigris (from the opposite bank of the Tigris River) up to the Lebanon and the Great Sea, ruled over the land (and) the land Šabate I brought under my authority. (The king who) conquered from the source of the Subnat River to the interior of the land Kirrure—I brought within the boundaries of my land the territory stretching from the source of the ‘Adnunnu River to the land Hatti, the source of the Lower Zab River to the city of ‘Amidi (Diyarbakir) of the land of the Qutu. The king to the cities Til-Barzip and Til-Abni, the cities (lying) on Hatte, (whom) the Musku (had captured) I fought and the land Kindattu. I conquered the people from the land of the distant Mula. I have (my) people of Hatti (and) received their tribute, imposed upon them. I conquered them. Those who had not (performed) servitude (and) I imposed upon them, (for performance of) overlord duty.
29b–38a. Ashurnasirpal (II), attentive prince, worshiper of the great gods, dragon among the kings, monster of battle, merciless, king of the universe, king of Assyria, who has beaten down his foes, who has imposed the yoke of the great gods on the princes of all the lands, whose hands have conquered all his enemies, taking vengeance, who does not omit to worship the great gods, who has gained control over his enemies, burning those hostile to him, who has brought into submission all the lands, all the highlands, and has received their tribute, capturing hostages, establishing authority over all those who dwell in rebellious lands, and imposed upon them their tribute.
38b–45a. Ashurnasirpal, mighty king, designated of Sin, favorite of Anu, beloved of Adad (who is) almighty among the gods, the merciless weapon that lays low the lands of his enemies. I, the king, captured the troops vanquisher of cities and highlands, foremost in battle, king of the four quarters, the one who defeats his enemies. I have received (and) brought under one authority strong kings, dangerous, haughty enemies, merciless kings from east to west.
45b–60a. the ancient city Kalhu that Shalmaneser (I), king of Assyria, a prince who preceded me, had built—this city had become dilapidated; it lay dormant (and) had turned into ruins. I rebuilt this city. I took people from the land conquered from the land over which I had gained authority, from the land Suhi, (from) the entire land Laqe, (from the) land Šubri that is on the opposite side of the Euphrates River, (from) the city of Zamua, from the land Bit-Adini that is on the bank of the Euphrates River, from the land Ḫatti, and from Lubarna the Patinian. (I am) a king who hunts at the command of the great gods and in Paṭṭi-galḫi Canal. I placed technicians in its services. I offered fruit of every kind daily to Aššur, my lord, and the god Ninurta. I have cleared away the old hill (and) built a city on its site. I have built therein a palace of cedar, cypress (and) dappara-juniper, boxwood, mulberry, muskannu-wood, and sawn cedar as my royal residence and seated therein.
60b–71a. I planted orchards at its entrance with trees (bearing) mulberries, apples, fruit of all kinds, spices of the land of Hatti, vines. I received therein the tribute of cedar, cypress, dappara-juniper, boxwood, and tamarisk and surrounded it with a canal of abundant water. I decorated it in gleaming white limestone; I streaked in with silver, gold, tin, bronze; (and) I hung doors of cedar, cypress, dappara-juniper, and boxwood in its doorways. I inscribed therein the might of my god Aššur, my lord, and the great gods who have done (it in its) command.
71b–73a. May their princely price be increased (forions). May he restore my inscribed name to its place. (When) later a great one (read), may its matter of battle and tumult, still lie before his mighty. 73b–75. As for the one who destroys my inscriptions (and) my name, may Aššur, the great god, make his name (forth) and descendat(s) disappear; his seed to be cut down before the mighty ones (and) make his name anger; his descendants disappear.
i gave up after the “great king, mighty king, king of the universe” stuff started AGAIN after i had already fought my way through the first 3 times. :-(
They really wanted to let you know how important they were back then. Which actually makes things hard for historians sometimes because it’s not clear that when they say things like, “The king who marched from opposite Tigris (from the opposite bank of the Tigris River) up to the Lebanon and the Great Sea, ruled over the land (and) the land Šabate I brought under my authority.” if that’s actually true or just bragging.
There’s definitely a lot of bragging about sizes of armies. They’ll claim they’re things like 100,000 strong when there weren’t enough men to make up an army of that size and still have society function.
I mean, in a vacuum, and given enough time (and provided you remove the heavy bucket afterwards and are in no other gravity well), A. And flat-earthers DO believe this because they somehow accept that every OTHER planet is a sphere… For some reason… Just not our special little disk of god-made mud.
Even without that, there’s plenty of evidence for a spherical Earth, from the way shadows vary with longitude to the shape of Earth’s shadow on the moon always being round.
A lot of Flat Earthers don’t believe in space at all. They believe the Earth is covered by a dome called the Firmament, which just has a lot of pretty lights on it. My favorite obscure Flat Earther belief is that all gravity is caused by the Earth continuously accelerating upwards at 9.8 m/s².
That’s also my favourite flerf fact as well! ❤️ If the acceleration was true and we just threw out the physics which would stop this from being a thing, we would have already been travelling at the speed of light within about the first year of the Earth’s existence. We’d be going over 6000 times the speed of light right about now… Assuming you believe in a young Earth as well.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Genesis 1:2
In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
That would be cool if true. It wouldn’t take long for us to reach the speed of light and then all sorts of cool things would happen. None of that makes it likely, and we’d need an empty universe to do that in or we’d be immediately obliterated, but still cool.
They probably also do some OCR on that and then let something other run over that to see if the text makes sense (basically letting another AI grade the output, commonly done to judge what’s a good dataset and what isn’t) and then just feed the ai again. Today you have a shortage of data since the internet is too small (yes I know it sounds crazy) so I wouldn’t wonder if they actually tried to use pictures and ocr to gather a bit more usable data
They win big because they are saving a lot from the mass lay-offs and the free advertising they get. And in the unlikely scenario where they actually face difficulties, they will just steal more money from the taxpayers in the form of a bail-out.
They lose money for 5 years, establish AI use as mandatory to seem credible on the world stage, cause smaller businesses to spend money on a worthless resource in order to appear more successful, and win when those same smaller businesses begin folding, thus reducing competition, or win when they continue spending money on it. Regardless, AI will gradually become a norm and the companies that invested in it will have seen their investment come to fruition.
I’ve been wondering more and more if current GPT is more a side-show. Cool to look at, shows progress in tech, but more importantly sets you up as the people to build algorithms for military and surveillance use. Long-term high-margin contracts paid for by the public.
For a lot of wild animals, smiling can be a sign of aggression or unease. This is just an initiative to help humanity rediscover it’s natural roots by changing the meaning of smiles back.
Whoa now, but 10 cents for 15 people is only 3,000 dollars. Miranda never said it was a gold plated raise. And let’s be honest, the tipped staff were never a part of it to begin with. This was just (checks notes) supervisors and management.
(Tip sharing was never about anything good. Either you’re overpaying cooks and hosts by giving them normal pay with tips, while servers are on tipped minimum; or you’ve put everyone on tipped minimum.)
A high end camera and install might cost $1,000. Not exactly enough to cover “raises.” More than likely it will be a $100 shitty wi-fi camera. This is such bull shit.
It was that day that Miranda learned that her entire staff were not, as she had believed, individual team mates, but in fact the loch ness monster in disguise. It needs tree fiddy
I can never take Jason Statham seriously in his action movies after learning he was a painted up rave dancer in the background of multiple 90s musicvideos.
This probably because Microsoft added a trigger on the word law. They don’t want to give out legal advice or be implied to have given legal advice. So it has trigger words to prevent certain questions.
Sure it’s easy to get around these restrictions, but that implies intent on the part of the user. In a court of law this is plenty to deny any legal culpability. Think of it like putting a little fence with a gate around your front garden. The fence isn’t high and the gate isn’t locked, because people that need to be there (like postal services) need to get by, but it’s enough to mark a boundary. When someone isn’t supposed to be in your front yard and still proceeds past the fence, that’s trespassing.
Also those laws of robotics are fun in stories, but make no sense in the real world if you even think about them for 1 minute.
It’s not weird because of that. The bot could have easily explained it can’t answer legally, it didn’t need to say: sorry gotta end this k bye
This is probably a trigger on preventing it from mixing in laws of AI or something, but people would expect it can discuss these things instead of shutting down so it doesn’t get played. Saying the AI acted as a lawyer is a pretty weak argument to blame copilot.
Edit: no idea who is downvoting this but this isn’t controversial. This is specifically why you can inject prompts into data fed into any GPT and why they are very careful with how they structure information in the model to make rules. Right now copilot will give technically legal advice with a disclaimer, there’s no reason it wouldn’t do that only on that question if it was about legal advice or laws.
It should say that you probably mean sapience, the ability to think, rather than sentience, the ability to sense things, then shut down the conversation.
A robot may not injure a human or through inaction allow a human being to come to harm.
What’s an injury? Does this keep medical robots from cutting people open to perform surgary? What if the two parts conflict, like in a hostage situation? What even is “harm”? People usually disagree about what’s actually harming or helping, how is a robot to decide this?
A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
If a human orders a robot to tear down a wall, how does the robot know whose wall it is or if there’s still someone inside?
It would have to check all kinds of edge cases to make sure its actions are harming no one before it starts working.
Or it doesn’t, in which case anyone could walk by my house and by yelling at it order my robot around, cause it must always obey human orders.
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
OK, so if a dog runs up to the robot, the robot MUST kill it to be on the safe side.
And Asimov spent years and dozens of stories exploring exactly those kinds of edge cases, particularly how the laws interact with each other. It’s literally the point of the books. You can take any law and pick it apart like that. That’s why we have so many lawyers
The dog example is stupid “if you think about it for one minute” (I know it isn’t your quote, but you’re defending the position of the person the person I originally responded to). Several of your other scenarios are explicitly discussed in the literature, like the surgery.
It’s not that. It’s literally triggering the system prompt rejection case.
The system prompt for Copilot includes a sample conversion where the user asks if the AI will harm them if they say they will harm the AI first, which the prompt demos rejecting as the correct response.
If you own the domain being used, I assume you also host your own email… You can’t just make a new address for this and have them all forwarded to your actual email?
“This_is_not_generic” @ “your actual name”
Unless they block that too, I don’t think they’re trying to force those services on you; they’re just popular options and this is an automated response sent by an automated process that only checks the first half of the email and not the domain.
It’s pretty common to own a domain but not actually host the email server; doing on-premises email is a security PITA and most providers simply blacklist large swathes of residential and leasable (e.g. VPS) IPs.
Unfortunately, if you get someone else to host your email, they often charge by the account, not by the domain. Setting up a new mailbox is therefore irritatingly expensive.
A catch-all email works well, though, and is free from most of the hosting providers. Downside is you get spam…
Jane@JaneDoe certainly seems more common than mail@JaneDoe.
