The NYPD Can Now Shoot GPS Trackers at Your Car
The StarChase Guardian-HX uses the lower receiver from an AR-15 rifle and launches adhesive-tipped GPS trackers to allow cops to track a vehicle remotely.
The Guardian-HX launcher is based on, of all things, an AR-15 rifle. The Guardian’s lower receiver — the part of the gun that holds the stock, pistol grip, trigger assembly, safety switch, and “magazine” — is interchangeable with any other AR-style rifle. (Amusingly, since the AR’s lower receiver is the part that contains its serial number, these may legally count as AR-15s.) Those accessories, too, are cross-compatible, save for two: The internal trigger assembly and magazine.
That’s because, in the Guardian, the trigger isn’t a trigger, and the magazine isn’t a magazine. The trigger itself is more of a button, an electronic system that activates the release of pressurized gas to propel the GPS projectile. The magazine is actually a battery.

ChatGPT Will Disrupt Many Jobs. These Are the Most at Risk.
Since the release of ChatGPT last year, companies and workers have been scrambling to understand how generative AI could impact the job market. On Monday, IBM (ticker: IBM) CEO Arvind Krishna said the company will pause hiring for roles that could be replaced by AI in the coming years. Back-office functions, such as human resources, will be hit first.

I do not think so!
my best example can be ChatGpt, they told me it can replace teachers and researchers and journalists and etc.
But in action, it is only being used for university presentations or translations.
I believe that they are developing but at the same time, I don’t think they can replace people! In the best form, they can be good assistants to people.

That might be the case with ChatGPT, but other forms of artificial intelligence will replace human workers.
IBM Plans To Replace Nearly 8,000 Jobs With AI — These Jobs Are First to Go
IBM CEO Arvind Krishna announced a hiring pause earlier this month, but that’s not all. He also stated the company plans to replace nearly 8,000 jobs with AI.
Krishna noted that back-office functions, specifically in the human resources (HR) sector, will be the first to face these changes.
The transition will happen gradually over the next few years, with machines potentially taking over up to 30% of noncustomer-facing roles in the five years. This means that workers in finance, accounting, HR and other areas will likely find themselves facing stiff competition from robots and algorithms.

Elon Musk sees an AI future where ‘no job is needed’
Elon Musk declared artificial intelligence “one of the most disruptive forces in history” in a sit down conversation with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak that dove into the dangers and opportunities of AI on Thursday, capping off the UK’s inaugural AI Safety Summit.
“AI will be a force for good most likely,” Musk said. “But the probability of it going bad is not zero percent.”

Elon probably just watch the Disney/Pixar movie Wall-E to get that idea.

Sometimes we want what we want even if we know it’s going to kill us.
The Pentagon is moving toward letting AI weapons autonomously decide to kill humans
The deployment of AI-controlled drones that can make autonomous decisions about whether to kill human targets is moving closer to reality.
Lethal autonomous weapons, that can select targets using AI, are being developed by countries including the US, China, and Israel.
The use of the so-called “killer robots” would mark a disturbing development, say critics, handing life and death battlefield decisions to machines with no human input.
Several governments are lobbying the UN for a binding resolution restricting the use of AI killer drones, but the US is among a group of nations — which also includes Russia, Australia, and Israel — who are resisting any such move, favoring a non-binding resolution instead, The Times reported.
“This is really one of the most significant inflection points for humanity,” Alexander Kmentt, Austria’s chief negotiator on the issue, told The Times. “What’s the role of human beings in the use of force — it’s an absolutely fundamental security issue, a legal issue and an ethical issue.”
The Pentagon is working toward deploying swarms of thousands of AI-enabled drones, according to a notice published earlier this year.
In a speech in August, US Deputy Secretary of Defense, Kathleen Hicks, said technology like AI-controlled drone swarms would enable the US to offset China’s People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) numerical advantage in weapons and people.
“We’ll counter the PLA’s mass with mass of our own, but ours will be harder to plan for, harder to hit, harder to beat,” she said, reported Reuters.
Frank Kendall, the Air Force secretary, told The Times that AI drones will need to have the capability to make lethal decisions while under human supervision.
The New Scientist reported in October that AI-controlled drones have already been deployed on the battlefield by Ukraine in its fight against the Russian invasion, though it’s unclear if any have taken action resulting in human casualties.

Regardless of who started it, Japan perfected the automatic restaurant business.

The last job on Earth: imagining a fully automated world
Machines could take 50% of our jobs in the next 30 years, according to scientists. While we can’t predict the future, we can imagine a world without work – one where those who own the tech get rich from it and everyone else ekes out a living, propped up by an increasingly fragile state. Meet Alice, holder of the last recognisable job on Earth, trying to make sense of her role in an automated world.

It’s true. Many things that used to be done by humans are not being done by machines for ages…

Technology indeed advances rapidly, but humans remain crucial in its development and application. Rather than diminishing human importance, technology often enhances our capabilities and frees us from mundane tasks. People need to focus on science, creativity, and innovation, as these are areas where human ingenuity shines brightest. We should seek endeavors that engage individuals’ curiosity and creativity, driving progress and enriching our lives.

AI robot appears to grope female reporter during live interview in Saudi Arabia: ‘Coded to be a creep!’
A “fully autonomous” AI robot has raised eyebrows after appearing to grope a reporter during an interview at a technology festival in Saudi Arabia.
Journalist Rawya Kassem was speaking in front of the robot, named Mohammad, when the machine seemed to move to touch her behind, a video circulating on social media shows.
Kassem, visibly startled, quickly moved away from the robot, but not before holding up her hand and motioning it to stop. She then continued on with her presentation at DeepFest, an AI event taking place in Riyadh.
Robotics firm QSS, who developed Mohammad, told Metro UK the robot is “fully autonomous” and operates “independently without direct human control.”
“We have already conducted a thorough review of the footage and the circumstances surrounding the incident and there was no deviations from the expected behavior of Mohammad, however, we will take additional measures to prevent anyone getting close to the Robot within its areas of movement,” QSS said, according to Metro UK.
