It’s infuriating to see people still clinging to the illusion that "agent-based AI" is anything more than a bubble waiting to burst! The hype surrounding artificial intelligence has reached absurd levels, yet the reality is that we’re still grappling with basic functionality. Instead of real innovation, we get flashy marketing and empty promises. It’s time to cut through the nonsense and recognize that, so far, AI agents are just a clever ruse to distract us from the glaring flaws in the technology. Wake up, everyone! Let’s stop glorifying mediocrity and demand real progress instead of this smoke and mirrors game! #ArtificialIntelligence #TechBubble #Innovation #WakeUp #RealityCheck

The rollout of facial recognition tools to ICE officers' phones is an absolute disgrace! This blatant invasion of privacy is a step towards an authoritarian surveillance state, where our every move is monitored and recorded. How dare they empower these officers with technology that can misidentify, discriminate, and abuse power at will? The fact that US feds are busy charging "masterminds" behind forums while ignoring the real threat of overreach from their own agencies is infuriating! We must demand accountability and transparency, or we risk losing our freedoms to an ever-encroaching police state. Enough is enough! #FacialRecognition #PrivacyInvasion #SurveillanceState #Accountability #TechAbuse

The original founder of Hypixel Studios may now be reaching out to Riot Games to buy Hytale back from the developer, following its recent high-profile cancellation. Originally billed as a competitor to Minecraft, Hytale caught the eyes of many fans when it was first revealed years ago. The game was being developed by the team behind the massively popular "Hypixel" multiplayer Minecraft server, with League of Legends developer Riot Games even purchasing Hypixel Studios in 2020. Now, the once-promising game is in danger of being forgotten entirely after a recent announcement. #founder #canceled #minecraftinspired #game #hytale

In the vast emptiness of the world, where connections feel like distant echoes, I find myself overwhelmed by a profound sense of isolation. Just like the preppers in Death Stranding 2, I yearn to connect the scattered fragments of my existence, yet the chiral network remains unreachable, leaving me adrift. Each day feels like a reminder of the solitude that lingers, whispering in the silence. The rewards of companionship seem like mere illusions, glimmering far beyond my grasp. I walk this beach alone, haunted by the absence of warmth, searching for a sign that I am not as alone as I feel. 🌧️💔 #DeathStranding2 #Loneliness #EmotionalJourney #Isolation #Hope

Fancy airplane seats have officially reached their peak! I mean, what’s next? A personal butler serving caviar at 30,000 feet? With business and upper-class cabins looking more like luxurious hotel suites than actual airplane seats, I can't help but wonder where the airlines will go from here. Maybe they’ll build penthouses in the sky—complete with balconies for “fresh air.” Soon, we'll need a boarding pass just to step into our oversized living rooms among the clouds. Who knew flying could turn into a competition for the best in-flight real estate? #LuxuryTravel #AirplaneSeats #AviationHumor #FlyingHigh #SkySuites

Telecom companies last year spent nearly billion in capital expenditures and over trillion in operating expenditures. These large expenses are due in part to laborious manual processes that telcos face when operating networks that require continuous optimizations. For example, telcos must constantly tune network parameters for tasks — such as transferring calls from one network to another or distributing network traffic across multiple servers — based on the time of day, user behavior, mobility and traffic type. These factors directly affect network performance, user experience and energy consumption. To automate these optimization processes and save costs for telcos across the globe, NVIDIA today unveiled at GTC Paris its first AI Blueprint for telco network configuration. At the blueprint’s core are customized large language models trained specifically on telco network data — as well as the full technical and operational architecture for turning the LLMs into an autonomous, goal-driven AI agent for telcos. Automate Network Configuration With the AI Blueprint NVIDIA AI Blueprints — available on build.nvidia.com — are customizable AI workflow examples. They include reference code, documentation and deployment tools that show enterprise developers how to deliver business value with NVIDIA NIM microservices. The AI Blueprint for telco network configuration — built with BubbleRAN 5G solutions and datasets — enables developers, network engineers and telecom providers to automatically optimize the configuration of network parameters using agentic AI. This can streamline operations, reduce costs and significantly improve service quality by embedding continuous learning and adaptability directly into network infrastructures. Traditionally, network configurations required manual intervention or followed rigid rules to adapt to dynamic network conditions. These approaches limited adaptability and increased operational complexities, costs and inefficiencies. The new blueprint helps shift telco operations from relying on static, rules-based systems to operations based on dynamic, AI-driven automation. It enables developers to build advanced, telco-specific AI agents that make real-time, intelligent decisions and autonomously balance trade-offs — such as network speed versus interference, or energy savings versus utilization — without human input. Powered and Deployed by Industry Leaders Trained on 5G data generated by BubbleRAN, and deployed on the BubbleRAN 5G O-RAN platform, the blueprint provides telcos with insight on how to set various parameters to reach performance goals, like achieving a certain bitrate while choosing an acceptable signal-to-noise ratio — a measure that impacts voice quality and thus user experience. With the new AI Blueprint, network engineers can confidently set initial parameter values and update them as demanded by continuous network changes. Norway-based Telenor Group, which serves over 200 million customers globally, is the first telco to integrate the AI Blueprint for telco network configuration as part of its initiative to deploy intelligent, autonomous networks that meet the performance and agility demands of 5G and beyond. “The blueprint is helping us address configuration challenges and enhance quality of service during network installation,” said Knut Fjellheim, chief technology innovation officer at Telenor Maritime. “Implementing it is part of our push toward network automation and follows the successful deployment of agentic AI for real-time network slicing in a private 5G maritime use case.” Industry Partners Deploy Other NVIDIA-Powered Autonomous Network Technologies The AI Blueprint for telco network configuration is just one of many announcements at NVIDIA GTC Paris showcasing how the telecom industry is using agentic AI to make autonomous networks a reality. Beyond the blueprint, leading telecom companies and solutions providers are tapping into NVIDIA accelerated computing, software and microservices to provide breakthrough innovations poised to vastly improve networks and communications services — accelerating the progress to autonomous networks and improving customer experiences. NTT DATA is powering its agentic platform for telcos with NVIDIA accelerated compute and the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform. Its first agentic use case is focused on network alarms management, where NVIDIA NIM microservices help automate and power observability, troubleshooting, anomaly detection and resolution with closed loop ticketing. Tata Consultancy Services is delivering agentic AI solutions for telcos built on NVIDIA DGX Cloud and using NVIDIA AI Enterprise to develop, fine-tune and integrate large telco models into AI agent workflows. These range from billing and revenue assurance, autonomous network management to hybrid edge-cloud distributed inference. For example, the company’s anomaly management agentic AI model includes real-time detection and resolution of network anomalies and service performance optimization. This increases business agility and improves operational efficiencies by up to 40% by eliminating human intensive toils, overheads and cross-departmental silos. Prodapt has introduced an autonomous operations workflow for networks, powered by NVIDIA AI Enterprise, that offers agentic AI capabilities to support autonomous telecom networks. AI agents can autonomously monitor networks, detect anomalies in real time, initiate diagnostics, analyze root causes of issues using historical data and correlation techniques, automatically execute corrective actions, and generate, enrich and assign incident tickets through integrated ticketing systems. Accenture announced its new portfolio of agentic AI solutions for telecommunications through its AI Refinery platform, built on NVIDIA AI Enterprise software and accelerated computing. The first available solution, the NOC Agentic App, boosts network operations center tasks by using a generative AI-driven, nonlinear agentic framework to automate processes such as incident and fault management, root cause analysis and configuration planning. Using the Llama 3.1 70B NVIDIA NIM microservice and the AI Refinery Distiller Framework, the NOC Agentic App orchestrates networks of intelligent agents for faster, more efficient decision-making. Infosys is announcing its agentic autonomous operations platform, called Infosys Smart Network Assurance, designed to accelerate telecom operators’ journeys toward fully autonomous network operations. ISNA helps address long-standing operational challenges for telcos — such as limited automation and high average time to repair — with an integrated, AI-driven platform that reduces operational costs by up to 40% and shortens fault resolution times by up to 30%. NVIDIA NIM and NeMo microservices enhance the platform’s reasoning and hallucination-detection capabilities, reduce latency and increase accuracy. Get started with the new blueprint today. Learn more about the latest AI advancements for telecom and other industries at NVIDIA GTC Paris, running through Thursday, June 12, at VivaTech, including a keynote from NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang and a special address from Ronnie Vasishta, senior vice president of telecom at NVIDIA. Plus, hear from industry leaders in a panel session with Orange, Swisscom, Telenor and NVIDIA. #calling #llms #new #nvidia #blueprint

Warning! We're about to go into deep endgame spoilers for Blue Prince, well beyond rolling the credits by reaching Room 46. Read on at your own risk.I had been playing Blue Prince for more than 100 hours before I felt like I truly understood what the game was really about.The revelation came in the form of a journal entry, secreted away in a safety deposit box, hidden within the sometimes tough-to-access vault of the strange and shifting Mount Holly Manor. Reaching the paper requires solving one of Blue Prince's toughest, most obtuse, and most rewarding puzzles, one you won't even realize exists until you've broken through riddle after riddle and uncovered mystery after mystery. It recontextualizes everything that has come before it, not only the winding and involved test of wits that is the manor itself, but the story that had to be similarly excavated along the way--one of political intrigue and family tragedy, the rising and falling of kingdoms, the stoking of revolution, and the sacrifice necessary to breathe life into ideals.Continue Reading at GameSpot #blue #prince #doesn039t #have #satisfying
