Golden sunlight streams through a weathered stone archway, illuminating a vibrant garden filled with blooming flowers. Rustic charm blends with natural beauty, evoking tranquility. This enchanting image captures an old stone archway with a weathered wooden door, partially open to reveal a radiant garden beyond. Sunlight streams through the doorway, casting golden beams across a lush array of colorful blooms — reds, purples, yellows, and blues that carpet the ground in vibrant abundance. Ivy and delicate flowers climb the cracked stone walls, blending the ancient structure seamlessly with the flourishing nature around it. The scene evokes a sense of wonder and serenity, as though stepping through the doorway leads to a secret, timeless paradise filled with light, life, and endless spring. by Kaye Menner https://kaye-menner.pixels.com/featured/spring-flowing-through-old-archway-by-kaye-menner-kaye-menner.html THE FINE ART AMERICA LOGO WILL NOT APPEAR ON PURCHASED PRINTS OR PRODUCTS.

Software vendors keen to monetize AI should tread cautiously, since they risk inflating costs for their customers without delivering any promised benefits such as reducing employee head count.

#McKinsey wonders how to sell #AI apps with no measurable benefits
#Consultant says software vendors risk hiking prices without cutting costs or boosting #productivity
Many software firms trumpet potential use cases for AI, but only 30% have published quantifiable #ROI from real customers. Meanwhile, many customers see AI hiking #IT costs without being able to offset these by slashing labor costs. The billions poured into developing AI models mean they don't come cheap.

This image (digital art) shows a massive steampunk or mechanical lion standing proudly on top of an ornate, intractly designed clocktower. The lion combines realistic features, such as a flowing mane and lifelike face, with intricate brass and mechanical elements integrated into its body. The clocktower beneath it is adorned with large gears, domes, and Roman numeral clock faces, set against a bright blue sky filled with fluffy clouds. The scene blends realism with fantasy, creating a majestic guardian-like presence.

Welcome back to Wild Nature! Today we're continuing our journey to generate a picture! Last episode we got attacked by trees - fortunately we won and can use their corpses for fuel! Then we successfully defeated a lake in Cambodia - but don-t worry, its death will not be in vain! We now have its water magic of cool! All we need now is an amazonian tribe newborn. "What?" For the sacrifice. Camera_guy: "Look... I'm not comfortable with this..." Are you fucking dumb? I'm just saying that for the show. Any newborn will do.

@bibliolater #AI = might still use a lot of people doing things manually behind the scenes

And be based on a history of using people's trust.

Even if bettering automation in its own way slowly - for #trust it's far from something you can #trust with people doing things behind the scenes more like Wizard of Oz!

1- lack of data safety
2- lots of humans manually doing things and making it look like AI
3- telling it to do things the right way (#FarRight #Fascism included if owner is so inclined!)

Still humans behind the scenes either way and dangerously connects to other things...🚪🏃⚠️

Yep.

In one contract that #ICE signed last month for #Clearview #AI facial recognition software, the agency said in a filing that it would be used to investigate “assaults against law enforcement officers.” Other federal contracts show ICE has been expanding its fleet of small, remote-controlled drones, which it has said it is using to film #protesters.

As a non-programmer/coder, i played around with https://jules.google.com/ , connected it with my github account, let it write some simple code for me, it worked the first time, improved it a bit etc. Actually good to experience in practice this "vibe coding" and Jules is very friendly. I even used the (free) Google API for Gemini, runned the code in Colab etc. No endorsement/advice whatsoever, please ask real coders for that 🙂. But i understand the hype better now.
