The CEO of a company with 700,000 delivery workers just said robots will replace all of them

Saw this on Computerworld today and i've been thinking about it since Founder of JD.com said robots will replace all 700,000 of their delivery workers. Didn't sugarcoat it, didn't give a timeline, just said it's coming What got me was he also said he doesn't want his workers going hungry because of it, and their solution is retraining some of them to fix the robots taking their jobs. 700,000 people. That's not a rounding error. Do you guys think this is actually as close as they're making it sound submitted by /u/Neil_at_HackerEarth [link] [comments]

Leaked files detail Russia’s Social Design Agency building fake reference platforms to contaminate AI training data and search indices

Leaked planning documents obtained by Bloomberg describe a Russian state-linked operation called "Project 2026," run by the Social Design Agency (SDA), with the stated goal of seeding the information layer that AI chatbots and search engines draw from. This is a structurally different threat than the bot and social media campaigns practitioners have long accounted for. The documents describe three components. A German-language Wikipedia clone is designed to look like legitimate reference material while embedding Russian narratives, on the explicit theory that AI systems trained on publicly available text would absorb and repeat those narratives in generated answers. A second component is an AI-driven "self-filling knowledge base" also targeting Germany, for which the documents state that s...

What has surprised you about how AI has been playing out so far?

Mine is that video generation and image generation hasn't been as groundbreaking as I thought. I don't know what I expected , but when Sora was first shown it felt like a whole new world was upon us. Even when the Studio Ghibli generations were going viral. Now it feels like coding is the real purpose of AI and the video and images are just kind of for slop and bot accounts. submitted by /u/LamboForWork [link] [comments]

Is it just me or is ChatGPT/OpenAI the Microsoft of AI?

Chatgpt seems to me like the microsoft of ai. First to the market, had it absolutly cornered for a while in the early days, but competitors have caught up and surpassed it in both design, ease of use and power, while they get relatively worse with every update and can only lean heavier and heavier on the customers they got in their inital monopoly (and their referrals/word of mouth) who have gotten used to using it and are too lazy to change? submitted by /u/Successful-Deer8804 [link] [comments]

AI might make me fail my class

I wrote an entire paper over the last few days for my college course. 7 pages with 10 citations to back up my own research. Even though 0% of it was written by AI multiple checkers online are saying it is 100% written by AI. I hate how I might fail a course and get kicked out of college over bs AI checkers saying my 100% handwritten work is fake. One of the checkers said an entire sentence was AI written because I started it with the word "studies". I am so sick of the new academic reality that I might fail through no fault of my own because people are lazy. submitted by /u/ConnerTheCrusader [link] [comments]
