X will soon stop allowing users to hide their blue checkmarks, and some users are not happy.

Previously, a blue tick on Twitter was a mark of a notable account, providing some assurance to followers of the account's authenticity. But then Elon Musk decided to start charging for the blue tick instead, and mayhem ensued as a wave of imposter accounts began jokingly posing as brands .

After that, paying for a blue checkmark began to attract derision, as non-paying users passed around a meme under blue-checked posts, saying, "This MF paid for Twitter." To help spare paid subscribers this embarrassment, X began allowing users to hide their blue check last August, turning "hide your checkmark" into a feature of paid subscriptions.

On Monday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk predicted the imminent rise in AI superintelligence during a live interview streamed on the social media platform X. "My guess is we'll have AI smarter than any one human probably around the end of next year," Musk said in his conversation with hedge fund manager Nicolai Tangen .

Just prior to that, Tangen had asked Musk, "What's your take on where we are in the AI race just now?" Musk told Tangen that AI "is the fastest advancing technology I've seen of any kind, and I've seen a lot of technology." He described computers dedicated to AI increasing in capability by "a factor of 10 every year, if not every six to nine months."

Musk made the prediction with an asterisk, saying that shortages of AI chips and high AI power demands could limit AI's capability until those issues are resolved. “Last year, it was chip-constrained,” Musk told Tangen. “People could not get enough Nvidia chips. This year, it’s transitioning to a voltage transformer supply. In a year or two, it’s just electricity supply.”

Elon Musk predicts superhuman AI will be smarter than people next year

news.movim.eu / TheGuardian · Tuesday, 9 April - 11:38

His claims come with a caveat that shortages of training chips and growing demand for power could limit plans in the near term

Superhuman artificial intelligence that is smarter than anyone on Earth could exist next year, Elon Musk has said, unless the sector’s power and computing demands become unsustainable before then.

The prediction is a sharp tightening of an earlier claim from the multibillionaire, that superintelligent AI would exist by 2029. Whereas “superhuman” is generally defined as being smarter than any individual human at any specific task, superintelligent is often defined instead as being smarter than every human’s combined ability at any task.

Brazil’s attorney general has demanded “urgent regulation” of social media sites after Elon Musk threatened to disobey a court order banning certain profiles on his X platform and after he called for a Supreme Court justice to “resign or be impeached.”

“It is urgent to regulate social networks,” said Jorge Messias.

“We cannot live in a society in which billionaires domiciled abroad have control of social networks and put themselves in a position to violate the rule of law, failing to comply with court orders and threatening our authorities.”

news.movim.eu / Numerama · Saturday, 6 April - 08:47

Tesla aurait annulé son projet de voiture plus compacte, un produit qui serait pourtant un sacré succès commercial. Le constructeur miserait plutôt sur un robotaxi, ce qui n'a pas beaucoup de sens.
