If you read the article, it’s more of an “it depends” answer.

Most phones have safety mechanisms built in to them to protect from things like overcharging or overheating during fast charging. They will also default to a low power charging state if it doesn’t detect the correct signal from the charger.

There is a very rare possibility that a charger may not be grounded correctly and that’s why it’s recommended to stick with big brands if you’re going with a 3rd party charger.

When you can get ticketed for speeding while your car is on the back of a tow truck:

Or a red light traffic ticket when your car was stolen:

And the police/courts won’t help you because it’s a problem from the private company running the cameras… I think we can see where some sort of AI backed camera network is headed.

A bandaid to fix this might be to setup an easy way for someone to dispute the charge. For every day that it takes the company to review the dispute, they would need to pay back the accused the same amount that they are charging them (with a minimum of paying them back twice the amount of the fine).

Even then, I’d rather cameras not be used in this way at all.

The oldest tweets I could find that actually started reporting this are from ~16 days ago.

They reference a page here that was posted on Aug 29th.

Yeah until the cops pull you over and take your cash under civil asset forfeiture because it’s “suspicious that you have so much cash on hand”.

The features you miss out on would be direct deposit from checks and app notifications (usually there are a few that you want enabled but are only available through the app).

Good luck when banking apps start doing this.

I just want to be able to set alarms with their calendar app (where it currently only sends notifications).

Must be a client issue, I’m using Voyager. Thanks for pointing that out!

I wish that spoilers actually blurred the image on Lemmy…

Ok, but the most important part of that research paper is published on the github repository, which explains how to provide audio data and text data to recreate any STT model in the same way that they have done.

See the “Approach” section of the github repository: https://github.com/openai/whisper?tab=readme-ov-file#approach

And the Traning Data section of their github: https://github.com/openai/whisper/blob/main/model-card.md#training-data

With this you don’t really need to use the paper hosted on arxiv, you have enough information on how to train/modify the model.

There are guides on how to Finetune the model yourself: https://huggingface.co/blog/fine-tune-whisper

Which, from what I understand on the link to the OSAID, is exactly what they are asking for. The ability to retrain/finetune a model fits this definition very well:

The preferred form of making modifications to a machine-learning system is:

• Data information […]
• Code […]
• Weights […]

All 3 of those have been provided.

I don’t understand. What’s missing from the code, model, and weights provided to make this “open source” by the definition of your first link? it seems to meet all of those requirements.

As for the OSAID, the exact training dataset is not required, per your quote, they just need to provide enough information that someone else could train the model using a “similar dataset”.

I did a quick check on the license for Whisper:

Whisper’s code and model weights are released under the MIT License. See LICENSE for further details.

So that definitely meets the Open Source Definition on your first link.

And it looks like it also meets the definition of open source as per your second link.

Additional WER/CER metrics corresponding to the other models and datasets can be found in Appendix D.1, D.2, and D.4 of the paper, as well as the BLEU (Bilingual Evaluation Understudy) scores for translation in Appendix D.3.

The STT (speech to text) model that they created is open source (Whisper) as well as a few others:

They also gave him a fake line to deliver and didn’t reveal that Darth Vader was actually Luke’s father during the filming of that scene: https://www.soundandvision.com/news/100104hamill/

It’s such a great moment! The fake line that was put in there just to try and keep the secret was “You don’t know the truth: Obi-Wan killed your father!” But as much as I enjoyed leaking false information, it was a wonderfully hard secret to keep because (Irvin) Kershner, the director, brought me aside and said “Now I know this, and George knows this, and now you’re going to know this, but if you tell anybody, and that means Carrie or Harrison, or anybody, we’re going to know who it is because we know who knows.”. -Mark Hamill

I don’t think this is specifically an “AI” problem as much as it’s a privacy issue with the way companies are buying and selling our info for targeted advertising. These models are definitely enabling them to do more with the data that they have as well as to collect more information from us in new ways.

Yeah, the other thing I could see happening is a similar tactic used by scammers where they use Mules who pick up mail from various Airbnbs throughout whatever country, but this would definitely limit most bot operations… Unless some organization specializes in this and just offers some service to create a bunch of accounts for anyone willing to pay.

Also, how many accounts would you limit to a single address, and how long would you lock up an address before it could be used again (given that people do move around from time to time).

edit:typo.

That’s a good point. I didn’t know about the USPS Form 1583 for virtual mailboxes… Although that is a U.S. specific thing, so finding a similar service in a country that doesn’t care so much might be the way to go about that.

Yep, exactly this. It might deter some small time bot creators, but it won’t stop larger operations and may even help them to seem more legitimate.

If anything, my favorite idea comes from this xkcd:

https://xkcd.com/810/

Easy way to get around that with “virtual” addresses: https://ipostal1.com/virtual-address.php

Just pay $10 for every account that you want to create… you may as well just go with the solution of charging everyone $10 to create an account. At least that way the instance owner is getting supported and it would have the same effect.

This article doesn’t go into it, but Louis Rossmann pointed out that their profit margin has tanked recently.

https://odysee.com/how-intel’s-oxidation-scandal-screws

At the end of 2021 it was 25.1% for the year.
At the end of 2022 it was 12.7%
At the end of 2023 it was 3.1%

Even ignoring the downward trend, at a margin like 3%, a small swing in the market, a small mistake in inventory ordering, or replacing a bunch of CPUs that had an oxidation issue during the manufacturing process will push them over the edge into losing money instead of making money.

Not saying this to defend Intel, just pointing out a major reason as to why they are scrambling to cut down on costs.
