It's probably quicker and more cost effective to just buy advertisements on ChatGPT. Let OpenAI deal with the technical problem of "how can we make AI able to use a website designed for humans".

Businesses are generally in the business of serving human customers, not AI agents. Furthermore, if AI agents are so smart, surely they can figure it out for themselves.

The blog article links Stefan Lorant's own recollection of the event, but the link is broken (fair enough, the blog entry is from 2010). Fortunately though, the link is archived on the Wayback Machine [0], where we can see it is an art

Just yesterday I was listening to a talk organised by the electricity cooperative to which I belong (or which partly belongs to me?) about consumer cooperatives and their organising principles. The context and discussions were not tech-rela

The user's name is the name of an Anton Labs project [0]. Furthermore, the fact that the user is inconsistently bad at formatting, punctuation and capitalisation of their messages makes me suspect the user itself may be agentic-LLM-bas

Why are you speaking with such faux-uncertainty without disclosing your relationship with Andon Labs?

After reading the article, for some reason I am finding the following fact profoundly distressing. Surely there are more than 1000 active airlines worldwide‽ > Every airline has a 3-digit IATA numeric code. 098 = Air India. British Airw

Does AWS actively and by design parse and keep track of personally identifiable information of the data that AWS customers store on their S3 buckets? If that were the case they would absolutely be subject to CCPA (and GDPR) requests for del

Are duct tape manufacturers and their investors constantly hyping about how duct tape is the future, and how it is making professional plumbing obsolete?

If it were possible to access all of the Earth's stored geothermal energy, probably a very, very, very long time. But if we're open to applying a quantitative timescale threshold to the thought experiment, at which we can argue

No, not quite. Geothermal is powered by the accumulated heat stored in rocks from fission Uranium and other heavy atoms deep in the Earth (and other phenomena). Geothermal hotspots do not reheat by fission or otherwise at the same speed t

However much solar or wind energy we use, the Sun will last exactly as long. This is not a matter of scale. Even if we were to build a photovoltaic Dyson sphere around the Sun, it would have the same lifespan. That is not the case for geoth

Only as a technicality. If you find a geothermal hotspot and start to extract energy from it, the hotspot will eventually cool down faster than if you hadn't (which of course depends on the size of the hotspot and how much heat you&#x2

Thank you for your attempt to make me feel better, I would be truly devastated to learn that information if I were in the business of shipping fragile items in plastic bubble wrap, and that devastation would certainly assuage my current dis
