Technology is not so easily separated into "American" and "Chinese." There's considerable overlap. I'd say the winner will be the one who manages their resources best, including the research pipeline, raw mater

Yes, all the evidence clearly indicates that MSG is a naturally-occurring substance that is not harmful to the human body. But my wife gets headaches and stomach pains if she ingests it. No doubt psychosomatic, right? You go ahead and try t

Of course, the problem with lithium isn't the availability of the raw mineral, it's that it's only found in very low concentrations, and most of the world's processing facilities are in China. Instead of cheering that we

Of course they're here to stay. LLMs aren't designed to tell the truth, or to be able to separate fact from fiction. How could they, given that their training data includes both, and there's no "understanding" there

OMG that is heart-rendingly dumb. Looks just like a smart phone, makes tons of assumptions for you, bears no relation to the actual workings of the computer. Kinda like a Mac. I hope and pray there will be a 3rd-party shell that will oblite

I don't know much about it but apparently WorldCon is an old and respected organization of sci-fi fans and authors who gather annually for presentations, awards, etc. And this year they used ChatGPT to evaluate potential presenters, no

Well, that's not exactly a 'simple use case.' Bill's foundation doesn't have the resources to replace USAID, nor would the process be straightforward even if it did.

This article says nothing about 'how to respond.' It's a long discussion of the psychological issues that arise when someone says something offensive, but it offers no advice on what to say, how to word it, or any other pract

It's certainly true that Tesla is suffering from its CEO's reputation, but I can't think of two more different companies, and their fall from grace was due to very different causes.

This old story merely shows that most listeners don't really care about the "personality" of the DJ. They tune in for the music, and they mentally tune out for the chatter and ads.

I don't use any of that stuff, but then again I'm an old guy who was well taught back when our public schools were a lot more functional. And English was my first language. If I tried to write in some other language, I would need

This is the human condition -- all of us experience this to one extent or another. Many people have found that practices from Eastern religions, such as breathing exercises, yoga, and meditation, help a lot with this universal problem.

From the perspective of an 80-year-old who has been through numerous "serious" relationships, and finally found my match at the age of 55, you seem to be unusually mature. Best of luck in your adventures -- and don't be despe

Anecdotal evidence from myself: Although I've been using Word for many decades, I've never had much "muscle memory" in terms of accessing features. It was always a case of learning which pulldown menu held the required f

Oh it's a lot worse than that. Breaking decades-long international agreements unilaterally, and with insults and threats, means that any future trust and credibility has been destroyed. So even when the orange man is gone, it'll t

So you're saying that if the price dropped by 35%, the market would double? Who's making stuff up here? Or are you quibbling that it should be 1.7x or 1.8x?

I would never trust AI in a learning situation, because it could confidently give me a completely wrong answer!

We can't even agree about what "conscious" means, let alone how it might apply to a computer system. The Times doesn't hold back when it comes to clickbait headlines.
