I'm not a huge fan of AI in between myself and a human, but for 311 calls (Hack writer Joe Wilkins states 911) I think would be ok. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/ai-dispatch-911-new-orleans-emergency-automation?utm_source=beehiiv&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=futurism-newsletter
It dropped yesterday tho that Nvidia teamed up with some major Wall Street firms on a $500 billion financing deal that connects AI companies directly with institutional capital, so they don't have to front the massive upfront costs of chips, buildings, power, and cooling themselves The six companies that Jensen chose are Apollo Global Management, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield Asset Management, Goldman Sachs, and KKR According to Morgan Stanley they think that hyperscalers could spend $3....
I spent the first month of running a small food company on AI agents (small programs that each handle one piece of the work) assuming the risk was the software getting things wrong. It wasn't. The risk was a program that could read everything and write anything. Early on I had agents with broad database access, because it was faster to wire up that way. Nothing catastrophic happened, but I noticed I got nervous every time I handed off a new task, because I could not say for certain what the pr...

My bot quietly f...

Am I the only one experiencing this? Between trying to make sure the machine understands my prompts, refusals, lags, hallucinations - I'm finding myself using it less and less. Is this happening to anyone else or just me?
