Perfectionism is usually a cause for procrastination. In my experience the long and rich history of procrastination, half-assing and missing deadlines is usually caused by over-thinking, pre-mature optimization, wrong abstractions and analy

This would be feasible. Even right now, but I am not sure how much delay is tolerable. If you use tablets or screens, I would imagine a two screen/tablet setup, where on one screen there is a variant gallery with AI output and on the o

I guess in the near future prompts can be replaced by a live editing conversation with the AI, like talking to a phantom draughtsman or a camera operator / movie team. The AI will adjust while you talk to it and can also ask questions.

I think most cultural goods compete in hit-driven markets. That is a given. But as far as I understood the article claims the downfall of books in general. And that is not true, in my opinion at least. Books are bought as web novel or viewe

Yeah, but isn't this higher order pattern matching? You can at least correct during a conversation and GPT will then use the correct mappings, probably most of the times (sloppy experiment): https://chat.openai.com/shar

It depends on the people I guess. Some managers will be annoyed of such conversations when they have to approve payments like that on multiple occasions a day - so employees might want to avoid such conversations. The attacker could even ad

I agree. Just baking all classes into inline styles before even presenting the mail should fix this. It makes sense to do this anyway. Pseudo classes and media queries wouldn't work, but those would pose a security risk anyway and are

Of course. It is like when a company goes bankrupt because they didn't establish good fire protection in their factory. Using AI automation has its risks that have to be mitigated appropriately.

While it seems to be a business oriented move by MS, I can vividly imagine how such institutions wastefully neglect practically free storage... Having to store data for five years seems to me to be a lame excuse.

Yeah, this even works well when you cook for a family. If you have pasta left from the day before and don't mind sweet dishes you can fry the pasta with some butter and eggs (scramble with the pasta) in a pan and add some sugar. Pretty
