Who would look at a drowning person and say "just swim better and you'll survive"? A drowning person can't "just swim better". That's exactly why they're drowning in the first place. What you're

I could be wrong, but I think the use case here is mainly for non-artists in domains where the music is not particularly important. For example, a podcaster/youtuber may want a short intro track. An entertainer or a marketer may want s

I'm not sure higher ed's educational philosophy is serving students all that well. The breadth of education is a shallow survey at best that is quickly forgotten exactly one semester later. Thankfully the workforce has common sens

Pretty insane valuation. It may pay off, it may not. Google search was vastly superior to its competitors. I don't think ChatGPT has that kind of edge. This is a monopoly kind of valuation where no monopoly exists. Its like paying Micr

Its a lot faster to give a task to an ai agent than a developer. The agent is always at their desk, always listening, and will immediately prioritize whatever you tell it to do. An ai agent always has capacity, does not have competing prior

Makes you wonder who owns the data that powers a "personal superintelligence that intimately knows all the details about you". It also makes you wonder what they do with all of that information. But surely this is altruism.

Its not really dissimilar to sports like golf, gymnastics, track and field (the high jump), etc. I certainly believe there can be rivals in those sports, so I don't see why we'd exclude football QBs from this conversation. That sa

People who don't have human companions should find them some human companions. They could settle for an illusion of companionship (as with pets), but every human can have the real thing. They NEED to have it and they ought to have it.

1000%. I should have stated this and I am glad you did. Could not have said it better.

Generally speaking, powers frown on public gatherings. When people gather, they exchange dissenting ideas, protest, or even rebel against the ruling authority. Its similar to how a controlling boyfriend/girlfriend will isolate you from

I'm of the opinion that only humans are suitable companions for humans. Not dogs, not birds, not cats, and definitely not chatbots. This message needs to be stated more strongly, but its against a ruling power's interest to do so.

Developers hate AI coding tools for the same reasons musicians dislike AI music and artists dislike AI art. Its the 'craft' problem as you say. But an artist who values the end result over the craft is hardly an artist at all. The

I'm stating the obvious, but these things tend to go either way. We either grossly overestimate the impact, or grossly underestimate it. In the case of the internet, it ended up going both ways. We overestimated it in the near term and

It will just be different. No profit train lasts forever. Google is about to be made utterly irrelevant after 20+ years or so as a company. And they were the best. If you still have a connection to your readers (e.g. email) you can still re

Comparing Trump to Xi Jinping is an unfunny joke. Americans have lost the plot on what true authoritarianism really looks like. America has no chance vs China in the AI race precisely because the President of the CCP has far more power in h

The comments are kind of concerning. First, ChatGPT did not discover unmet demand in the market. It tried to predict what a user would want and hallucinated a feature that could meet that demand. Both the demand and the feature were halluci

You deal with it using AI. The difference is that you can provide better guidance than someone with inadequate development experience. Better guidance leads to a better (ie cleaner) result. You might as well get good at this now, because th
