The AI Hype Index: Unsexy AI
It feels unhealthy sufficient when an open letter signed by main economists warns that AI may steal your job. The very fact it might quickly be higher than you at making dinner? Insult to harm. However that’s precisely what the corporate 1X promised when it confirmed off a pair of recent, impressively dexterous (and, to some, oddly horny?) robotic fingers in a July demo.
Whereas the tech group was sharply divided over the attraction of these disembodied fingers, virtually everybody can agree that a number of issues are decidedly not horny: Grok’s porn-pilled translation characteristic, Meta’s creepy glasses (which can quickly get even creepier), and Large Tech’s emissions (which proceed to skyrocket).
However whereas it’s not all the time the preferred expertise, at the least AI is paying off for one group: single chip employees in Korea, newly inundated with courting alternatives due to their big bonuses. Who says you’ll be able to’t purchase love?
