on the upside you hopefully don't have a lot of overhead in the south pole, so if you can just leave a lease behind or move out of your parent's basement, go live on rations or whatever at a research station and clock part time work over the course of the summer, you still come home with a decent wad right? unless they make you pay for food and supplies down there then lmao

FB basically doesn't police or regulate ads at all it's gotten them in trouble repeatedly for allowing people to target housing ads by race in violation of the Fair Housing Act

Its what Musk was talking about during the rogan interview. The AI has developed and gone on its own guessing from the vast majority of anti gay etc content vs pro gay etc content.

Trumps Baby Hands posted:is there a science reason that it’s called the loving “Dark Sector Laboratory” it's a telescope, and terrestrial telescopes are hindered by things like light. Antarctica is probably as far as you can get from artificial light sources, and due to being at the pole is probably also where they can get the most time in darkness.

The dark sector is one of the many science outposts aka sectors arrayed around the actual main south pole building, and as you said it's the one that handles all the telescopes. Specifically, it is kept dark during winter months (when the scopes are actually doing science).

For a while i worked for a failing recording studio and the owner had no idea how the internet worked. I came in, was his only employee, and it was a clusterfuck, but i got things manageable for the services he offered, got his permission, and put an ad out. keep in mind i paid a really really small amount, about $30, and back then that was enough to reach most of the surrounding area of 300k people We got so many hits that by the time he hosed me over and I quit, he was getting so many potential customers he didn't know what to do with himself. i'm sure ad rates have gone up, but it's seriously amazing how deep and effective the reach is on facebook, and it'll require direct intervention and disallowing certain types of advertiser to prevent things like marketing conversion therapy at LGBT kids or, worse, their parents.

yeah, no AI involved. facebook allows advertisers to piece together target audiences based on a ton of factors including likes & groups so instead of "gay teens" its "teens interested in lgbt issues" or whatever

oh and also facebook has absolutely no vetting/moderation of ad content, they just take the money and push out whatever they're told. if someone complains they might look at it, but they dont give a poo poo.

of course not, they want plausible deniability. they don't care if ad targeting is used for bigoted purposes - in fact, they likely view it as a plus, since few other ad platforms let bigots target their bigoted ads like that, so the bigots are a captive market for FB

There's a lot of big tech businesses that would like to maintain that everything is algorithmic and untouched by human hands, because then nobody's responsible for anything. A lot like how nobody's responsible for the actions of corporations. Just ignore the man behind the curtain programming the algorithm.

not a cult posted:what in the everloving gently caress is that? disrupting OSHA normally, humans have to stay away from the robots and machines in an automated facility, and if they need to enter the robots' work area, the machines have to be shut down. that way, you can be sure no one gets gutted by a robot arm. but that requires a lot of empty space for humans to pass through, careful factory design to ensure humans have safe passage everywhere, safety barriers and visual indicators, line shutdowns, and so on. so inefficient and wasteful, it might take bezos slightly longer to become a trillionaire they decided that instead of keeping humans and machines separate by putting safety zones around the machines, they would encase the humans in portable safety zones: protective cages on wheels that would protect the humans, allowing them to work in close proximity to running machines and active robots without being devoured by the silicon beasts. that way, they wouldn't have to worry about all those tiresome rules and regulations and OSHA inspectors. even if a robot suddenly tried to decapitate a human that was forced to pass dangerously close, their little portable cage would protect them, so Amazon wouldn't need to design safe areas into their automated facilities anymore the idea was later abandoned in favor of robot-repelling vests, apparently, but the patent is still there as a memento to Amazon leadership's hilariously poor decision-making

Ha! I initially thought that was a desk in the cage. I imaged someone sitting in there doing paperwork while the bot zips around a distribution center (because I was thinking of their sorting bots).

not a cult posted:lmao wouldn't the vest be less safe than the cage most likely. it's probably cheaper tho there's very little info about it, other than a tweet from an Amazon PR guy and a single business insider article from a few years back that mentions them trialling something similar looks like it's just a wearable low-power radio transmitter that broadcasts a weak signal that can only be received from within a few feet. the robots are (theoretically) all equipped with receivers, and if they detect a signal, that means a worker is close by and the machine should be careful sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. amazon is going to literally murder people because they think it's too inefficient to manually stop the machines every time someone needs to pass through the robots' kill zones
