I'm not a big fan of the Naked Gun #movie franchise. I don't dislike it
Same with #LiamNeeson
But I'm now a huge fan of their #advertising campaign (this #moviePoster just came out yesterday)
In a private #Github organization, in a private repo filled with NDA code, Github decided that to automatically start reviewing that code using Copilot.
Mind you, Copilot is disabled for this organization.
Could we please just fucking not ?! Not even mentioning the fact that the Github organization didn't enabled this, there is no data policy to be found in sight. I have no clue what Copilot does with the data after it "reviewed" the code and I could potentially be breaking the signed NDA.
A very legitimate well-done to Canada for being one of the least suckered into AI garbage in the world!

"“We’re not seeing that literacy that we would like to see when we compare ourselves to our global peers, and there’s some reluctance around trusting AI and really embedding it in how we perform our day-to-day work and how we work,” said Terril."
Excellent news.

Canada ranks among least AI literate countries in the world: study
As countries around the world race to leverage artificial intelligence (AI), a recent study found that Canada is falling behind, although it’s not due to a lack of innovation, but growing uncertainty and a gap in public understanding, one expert says…Joshua Santos (CTVNews)
China installs more solar in 1 month than the total energy the US uses
China installed its highest solar power capacity for a single month in May.
back-of-the-envelope calculations, 71 GW is more power than the entire US uses (on average). This is why our electricity is, on average, 2.5-3 times more expensive. This will lead to advantages in AI, production, etc. Cheap energy = cheap everything else.

China Smashes Solar Installation Record
China set a global record by installing 93 GW of solar capacity in May, surpassing any other country's full-year total, though growth is expected to slow due to new regulatory changes.Charles Kennedy (OilPrice.com)
I (and many others) are convinced that the #AI hype bubble is gonna burst at some point, but I haven't seen many talk about what actually happens when it does?
So, here's my prediction for just that.

Excerpts in 🧵
'Crime-predicting' tech leads to more over-policing of Black, racialised, lower income and migrant communities.
It automates unjust stop and searches, harassment, handcuffing and use of force.

Ban ‘Crime Predicting’ Police Tech
The Lie AI and police tech don’t predict crime - they predict policing. These technologies are built on existing, flawed, police data.38 Degrees
Oops! AI did it again... you're not that innocent.
Nectar, a 'crime-predicting' system developed with #Palantir, could be rolled out nationally after a pilot with Bedfordshire police (UK).
Data such as race, sex life, trade union membership, philosophical beliefs and health are used to 'predict' criminality so people can be targeted for #surveillance.

U juniora i Codexu mam za sebou dost ukolu na normalizaci. 1 normo-ukol je priblizne 4h casu => 1068 Kc.
Codex me stoji ve VC cenach 5219 Kc mesicne.
S Codexem jsem odbavil 175 produkcnich normo-ukolu => 1 ukol ~ 30 Kc.
Kdybych mel stejnou mesicni davku odbavit juniory stali by me 186900 Kc.
Jedina vyhoda juniornich vyvojaru je preciznost. Vsechno ostatni bere Codex. Coz je dost smutne a jestli AI vyrazne nezdrazi, tak to bude budouci trh dost bolet.

Od minuleho ctvrtka si delam reflexi prace s juniornimi vyvojari vs Codex. Nakousli jsme to s kolegou z Kalkulacky.
Rok pracuju s juniornim vyvojarem (placenym) a mesic s Codexem.
TL;DR: Codex mi dokaze juniora nejenom kompletne nahradit, ale za soucasne VC dumpingove ceny je 36x efektivnejsi.
Vsechno delam komentari v kodu, prompt je jenom "najdi koment TODO: Agent - neco a udelej ho." Muj Linear je vyhledavani TODO: v codebase.

Seen many blind people advocating for Audible's AI narration instead of having narrators they don't like record the audiobook and its takes like this that make me super ashamed of some in my own community. I can't even think of what to call these people.
The reasoning is that an AI voice won't be busy or expensive so we can get more audiobooks and just... I strongly suspect these are Blind people that hate audiobooks and want them gone or otherwise reduced in pop culture. I can't understand the logic otherwise.
