Tesla's Robotaxi fleet might finally be driving around Austin unsupervised
This comes just ahead of the Cybercab launch. Tesla appears to have finally allowed its Robotaxi fleet in Austin to go full driverless, according to a report by The Verge. It looks like all vehicles in the city are operating autonomously. This is many months after Elon Musk announced that they had begun operating without human safety monitors onboard. He also said that the entire fleet would remove safety drivers by, well, the end…

Debates over AI consciousness are a trap
“Runaway” AI, “rogue” agents, and “autonomous” actors—the current rhetoric would have you believe that AI agents are not only awake and aware, but angry at their creators. Prominent tech leaders such as Demis Hassabis, Dario Amodei, and Sam Altman push for regulation of these seemingly “superhuman” systems, while a separate faction, led by policy organizations and academic philosophers often aligned with the effective altruism movement, debates whether humanity holds the moral right to govern…

Garmin Fenix 8 Solar : la meilleure montre GPS des sportifs devient enfin recommandable avec 250 € de remise
Lors de notre test, la Garmin Fenix 8 Solar nous avait emballés par ses performances tout en nous laissant un goût amer. Avec un prix de lancement qui dépassait la barre symbolique des 1 000 euros, son rapport prestation-prix était tout simplement rédhibitoire face à une concurrence féroce, y compris au sein du catalogue Garmin. C’est d’ailleurs ce qui nous a empêchés de lui mettre plus de 7/10 au terme de notre test. Mais…

And even then, it can only glow one of five colors! This is a massive wasted opportunity for a feature that used to be so beloved on…
