“AI is already conscious”

Posted on by

Geoffrey Everest Hinton (born 6 December 1947) is a British-Canadian computer scientist, cognitive scientist, cognitive psychologist, and Nobel Prize winner in Physics, known for his work on artificial neural networks which earned him the title as the “Godfather of AI”. Hinton is University Professor Emeritus at the University of Toronto. From 2013 to 2023, he divided his time working for Google (Google Brain) and the University of Toronto, before publicly announcing his departure from Google in May 2023, citing concerns about the many risks of artificial intelligence (AI) technology. He has voiced concerns about deliberate misuse by malicious actors, technological unemployment, and existential risk from artificial general intelligence. Hinton is viewed as a leading figure in the deep learning community. (Wikipedia)

Osmo Pocket 3 “Glamour Effects”

Posted on by

The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 comes with a feature called Glamour Effects. “This tool lets you fine-tune beauty settings ensuring you look your best. It’s especially handy for vlogs, portraits, and livestreams, giving you that polished look without the need for post-editing.”

I tried this feature but couldn’t see the effects (3 min video below), so either I didn’t have the proper setting or it was never intended to work for a 77-year-old geezer. The one exception was the “Teeth” tool. It made my teeth appear noticeably whiter.

I’ve never felt the need to look younger or “better” than I do, and have undisguised pity for anyone that needs hair plugs, cosmetic surgery, or that awful shoe polish-black dye that some men use. So we’ll just move the camera back a bit and dim the lighting for future videos.
