Tips: Not Hotdog

Det är för detta som AI behövs.
Det och selfie förfalskningar.
Och inget annat.


Not Hotdog

Description
What would you say if I told you there is a app on the market that tell you if you have a hotdog or not a hotdog. It is very good and I do not want to work on it any more. You can hire someone else.

 

För folk som är oinsatta: Denna appen skapades med i komediserien Silicon Valley och är alltså en skämtapp i verkligheten.

 

Interview with Qualcomm’s Gary Brotman, Part 2: On-Device Machine Learning and AI Hitting Mainstream

(Gary Brotman, a product director at Qualcomm who heads up the company’s Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Product Management.)

Mario Serrafero: So we sat on this panel about moving machine learning, or at the very least inference, from the cloud to the device and this is what all these new advancements that we’re seeing are enabling, especially if they support all these frameworks that developers are using. They’ve made it easier. So do you actually see kind of that being a catalyst that will kind of stimulate some higher degree of adoption within just regular applications on smartphones?

Gary Brotman: Yeah! Yeah, I think so. One of the things that may seem a little bit cheeky, you look at examples in the market of when things start to tip over into the mainstream, it becomes part of the common dialogue of an average individual.
Do you watch Silicon Valley?

M: Yeah!

G: You know the Not Hotdog app? When something like that hits […] I have it on my phone actually, I’ve installed it and I’ve tested it at the grocery store, and I’ve gone and I’ve looked in the hot dog section, right? It only identifies a hot dog! Multiple hot dogs don’t work. But something like that is a clear indication that it’s hit a point where it’s understandable.

M: Yeah. The underlying mechanisms are still mystical to most.

G: They should be, by the way! Most users shouldn’t even know they exist.

M: No, you’re right yeah. It’s a closed box and it does its thing, and you don’t have to worry about anything. Yeah, no, that’s true and I hadn’t considered that it is tipping into the mainstream and in a way that you can see it.
