Latest news - 2023/01/16
Breaking news this morning.
Last week I received (quite rightly anyway) that HOC is no longer a news portal. I don't promise that I will try to improve this every day, but today I will make an attempt. Here is this morning's fresh news!
Gizchina wrote that they discovered a new render of the Huawei P60 Pro. It's completely uninteresting news, because it's true that Huawei is working on the P60 series, but in 99,99 percent of the cases, the render images have nothing to do with reality, just some artistic soul pouring its desires into pixels. So this is a real salad news, a space filler, with this power we could also write about the contemporary works of one of the up-and-coming Zimbabwean painters. We don't.
The image is the introductory image of the news.
Youtube May Become a Free Cable Provider is the title of the Android Authority article. The title is telling, approx. as much as if we were to say that the son of Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates' child could be named Mariska. So it could be anything, even YouTube becoming a cable provider. They try to reinforce the veracity of the article with this opening sentence: YouTube is said to be testing a new free, ad-supported center. What can strengthen the value of the news a little is that The Wall Street Journal originally wrote about it, so it might even be true. Or not
The upcoming Apple Mac Pro won't be "Pro" enough, says Gizchina again. He bases his claim on the fact that SUPPOSEDLY the originally planned Apple M2 Extreme platform was temporarily (or permanently?) trashed, so the new product with 48 CP cores and 152 GPU cores originally announced, i.e. the Mac Pro, gets a weaker central unit, which does not will bring a revolutionary innovation compared to the previous version. I would just like to add that the price will probably not be revolutionary, this machine will be damn expensive too!
Android Authority is at it again, now with news from Samsung that the Galaxy Z Fold 5's design change will finally solve the crease. That is, the crease in the middle of the display. These folding phones suck, but approx. I want them as much as a paper airplane kneaded into a ball. Manufacturers have been launching "great" but essentially unaffordable phones on the market for years, but we're still waiting for the middle of the display to not have a crease.
In short, the essence of the article is that Samsung will use a new hinge, which they say will be teardrop-shaped, so there will be no gap between the two sides of the phone when closed, and the display will not crease. I would just add that Samsung could easily use the teardrop as a company logo, it would be stylish...
Today, my news aggregator application picked a lot from the Android Authority page, again from them the latest news that Apple has acknowledged the iPhone 14 Pro's display error and is working on a fix. The problem is that some users see horizontal lines on the display after switching on. Maybe they see their EKG after realizing they bought a crappy phone (I almost wrote crap, just for my good manners...)
The good news, in addition to the fact that the error exists, is that it seems to be a software problem, otherwise Apple would be working unnecessarily to fix it.
The next news has nothing to do with phones, Barca took the Spanish Super Cup away from Real's nose, they supposedly easily beat the crown guard. In any case, the match took place in Saudi Arabia, and being a football nation with a long history, it deserved to have such a high-level match brought to them. Only the Super Cup of the Cape Verde Islands would surpass this, but in order to take it there, the Saudis still need to send two dozen tankers to the islands with reduced overhead oil.
Finally, a piece of bad news that appeared on the Hungarian BITPORT website, according to neuroscientists, today's AIs are necessarily sociopaths. These neuroscientists say that the current chatbots working with AI are turning into dangerous sociopaths, which means disaster for us as well. I mean, looking at us humans, not limiting this to HOC readers.
Anyway, this news appeared on the pages of The Wall Street Journal, which is a much more authentic publication than Blikk. It was also written that these chatbots are able to unmask giants without any particular scruple, and the only solution to this is to plant some kind of community self-awareness in these artificial intelligences, because this is what made humanity a selfless, cooperative, empathetic species. Again, I'm just adding that, that is, I'm asking if community self-awareness will not be another step towards Skynet?
