As often happens with satire, you could read it as satirizing the idea that people should entirely rely on their own knowledge and memory, without AI assistance. The response to the article depends heavily upon one’s perspective on the su

I’m with you. For beer drinkers, there’s also oatmeal stout - try Samuel Smith’s version, which is widely available and very good. Plus I cook oatmeal using oat milk.

Why not both? Tattling to the Feds about a competitor over something like this is a dick move, even by the nearly nonexistent ethical standards of Silicon Valley currently.

The “make no mistakes” admonition does seem pretty silly (it’s been skewered to death on yt), but… it’s easy to imagine how it might work. E.g. it could be interpreted as simply as “check your work”. Of course, no-one seems to be (publicly)

The argument you describe is as if Neil deGrasse Tyson took a course about “How to be even more extremely and inappropriately pedantic,” and decided he wanted to become the undisputed world expert at that. Anyone who says “exoplanets aren’t

You may be overthinking it. Circumcision rates in the US have been as high as 85% historically, and even today are as high as 75% in the Midwest. A perceived attack on circumcision is an attack on the fundamentalist religion that the Americ

Not everyone can be a systems thinker, you shouldn't feel too bad. But you should probably refrain from commenting about situations where you can't see beyond your own nose.

An employee is different from a cofounder. For example, I certainly boycott anything to do with Elon Musk, for the same kinds of reasons. You seem to be falling into the "perfect is the enemy of the good" trap. It's not possi
