You asked me 'Does "Cambridge Analytica" ring a bell?', but apparently it barely rang anything for yourself. I see you haven't researched the topic in question and have stated you are not going "to waste time&q

Could you elaborate which part of Cambridge Analytica's actions you object to? Not that I disagree but I don't consider targeted advertising, that is available to everyone during election, as a smoking gun of any kind. I assume yo

No one's who's done business selling to consumers is cheering about this. What exactly is gained for the society when a business has to show bike ads to basketball enthusiasts?

I'm interested to hear more about what you mean when saying that it felt like you were inventing the features. And how did the PM do it exactly? Thanks!

OP seems to be level-headed and rational, I'm pretty sure he'll be able to take the advice well. And the commenter you're replying to is sharing his thoughts in a non-judgmental way as well.

Wow, thank you. That's a very interesting take. You mention Popcorn time. I wonder if torrents in general could be a great example of how something like this plays out? Torrenting took the world by storm and had an amazing "produc

Based on a Reddit post [1], the author of this is Stability AI's chief information officer. My very rough take on the situation: the company gained their notoriety by building on OpenAI's pioneering research but with an important

Language evolves. People have come to understand the difference between windows in a house, and windows in the context of a computer. I'm sure you understand this.

Would be interesting to hear more about this. You mention fake jobs. Do you mean companies advertise vacancies but have no intention of hiring, or do they actually hire but only have useless work for the new employees?

What I think it really comes down to, is whether copilot-like tech becomes a 2x (or even 10x) productivity multiplier. If it becomes that powerful, we'll ignore these and other concerns. Just imagine Chinese or Russian devs moving 2x o
