Here's another weird anomoly I've found.

XP computers do not show up in the Network, which previously worked in build 7000 and 7047. What is stange is that you can type in \\(computer name) and it will show up the shares, but it does not actually show up in the network places.

yup same here. Also have some BSODs :wacko:

I noticed that as well. No XP PC's in network (like pre-beta builds) and various other bugs. Seems like a step backwards except for the eye candy. Oh yea, my graphics score is lower with this build. :huh:

Set WORKGROUP name to be same on your Windows 7 7057 machine and XP and it will work. Apparently beta testers have no clue :)

No it won't and yes we do, well at least most of us. :p

It's a bug, pure and simple. Even with the correct workgroup name and settings the only way to browse the network is to type the full path in Explorer manually.

For what it's worth...I created a shortcut on the windows 7 desktop with a shared folder on one of the many xp machines in my workgroup. I accessed this as suggested here by \\(computer name). As soon as I open that shortcut/ folder to view it, the entire workgroup ie all the other pc's including the one with the shared folder pop up in the network. A clunky workaround at best, assuming it's just not the tilt of the planet that's making this work.

Curious to know if this works for anyone else as I like many have tried everything. Mine did work the first time and then the same problem we all seem to be having reared it's ugly head

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      By Nick H. · Posted

      This one baffles me...so they are creating a museum based around the Ship of Theseus? A museum is supposed to preserve things. It doesn't really work if the conversation goes, "I gazed upon Starry Night the other day, the colours were beautiful!" "Yeah...I didn't expect Godzilla to show up, though." Create a building devoted to displaying AI work, fine. The rainforest idea sounds interesting and I would consider visiting if they pay me a few bucks. But don't call it a museum...

      >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

      Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine

      Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
