I'm with Booch on that one. Musk should first say in which domains, because intelligence is a vague concept, and even so, I don't think AI is even close to match us on reasoning alone. For that to happen, the LLM must first be able to iterate, instead of being a stateless system.Another one from CodeProject:
Elon Musk: AI will be smarter than any human around the end of next year
While Musk says superintelligence is coming soon, one critic says prediction is "batsh*t crazy."arstechnica.com
Their comment is...At least one human, anyway
pibbuR who hopes it's not directed at him.

Microsoft wants to hide the 'Sign out' button in Windows 11 behind a Microsoft 365 ad
The latest Windows 11 preview build in the Beta Channel delivers a rather odd change to the Start menu. For some reason, the "Sign out" button is hidden behind a Microsoft 365 ad and other banners.

AFAIK there are already ads on the start menu? I don't see any, I guess that's another benefit of using 3rd party start menu, like Start11 (Stardock) which I'm using.
pibbuR who recommends Stardock's excellent desktop software solutions.
Big Tech can’t hoard brainwave data for ad targeting, Colorado law says
Neural data can reveal health, mental states, emotions, and cognitive function.

I didn't think brainwaves were that available, but I guess they may be in the future(?).
BTW: Apple and Meta doesn't like this, which I think proves that the ban may actually be useful.
pibbuR who keeps his brainwaves where they're supposed to be, and who agrees with (what he calls) the Harry Potter principle.
PS. Don't trust anything that can think for itself, if you can't see where it keeps its brain. DS.
AFAIK it is possible with training to control for instance a mouse pointer by based on thinking/imagining using you hand to move a mouse. Or something like that. But it does require training, I don't think you can do it on your first try. Which means that there's no well defined standard set of brainwaves for that specific task. If so, I can't see how tracking your brainwaves from the detector can be generally useful. Now. I won't exclude it a couple of years.
BTW, I'm guessing, but pibbuR hopes it's educated guessing.
PS. Regarding Win11, 3rd party seems to be you friend. And for the record, Win11 works very well for me, and I've had no problems installing/reinstalling it. OTOH, my experience with it is not that much different from number 10. So I while not regretting it, upgrading when I did was perhaps not necessary. However, there may for all I know be more significant changes under the hood - I'm sure there are watchers who know more about that than I do. And there is of course the question of support next autumn. DS

I've also been rocking Win11 for almost a year. It's fine. Have no issues.
What is annoying is all the ways the corporate fuckers seem to want to toy with it. They can't sit on their asses and just accept that they shouldn't monetize it even further.
Hare-brained economic system we have. That's what's keeping these fuckers alive. The fact that they somehow need to suck more blood out of that stone. They can't leave well-enough alone since that's the whole purpose.

Anyone play Fallker? or Stallout?

Does it still get security updates? That's not something I'd like to connect to the Internet.
Not from Microsoft. The security update program for Win 7 ended in Jan 2023.
Nah he should install the bloatware ridden Win 11. I fear what Win 12 will be.
