Taco Bell's rollout of AI-powered drive-thru assistants has run into problems, with glitches and trolls gaming the system by making absurd orders like thousands of water cups. It's so bad that the company is reconsidering where and how to deploy the tech, admitting it may not work well in "super busy" restaurants. "We're learning a lot, I'm going to be honest with you," Dane Mathews, Taco Bell's chief digital and technology officer, told the WSJ. "I think like everybody, sometimes it lets me down, but somet

Два года назад я пытался сделать генератор RPG-игр на GPT-4 и Stable Diffusion: пользователь пишет промпт, а на выходе получает не чат с бесконечной импровизацией, а готовую консистентную игру с миром, персонажами и геймплеем. Тогда технологии едва справлялись даже с ASCII-картами и простыми ассетами. Сейчас мы вернулись к идее уже с финансированием, новым пайплайном и моделями, которые позволяют генерировать локации, NPC, тайлы, сюжетные ветки, озвучку, музыку и боёвку. В этой... Read more ›

Рассмотрим её поверхности уровня: \begin{equation*} f(x, y, z) = C \end{equation*}При различных значениях константы мы получаем набор непересекающихся двумерных поверхностей. Пространство расслаивается на них, как слои в луковице. Если теперь в каждой точке пространства взять касательную плоскость к проходящей. Read more ›

A "growing wave" of Reddit's "promoted posts" are sending U.S. and European audiences to money-stealing scams that impersonate major news organizations including the BBC, the Financial Times, and The Guardian, according to new findings from Bitdefender Labs.
