Speaking for my own n of 1, ChatGPT Pro has almost entirely (>90%) replaced the Google search engine in my daily life. The results from ChatGPT are just so much better and faster. That's got to be worth something, since Alphabet is

Research from PRC (across all of science, not specific to AI) has a terrible reputation. They are rewarded for sheer quantity. You can easily find many articles discussing this phenomenon. So the volume of Chinese AI papers says little to n

I don't know anything about Microsoft's relationships with OpenAI. What I do know, having worked for many large organizations, is that reading the daily press (or listening to the news) is a terrible way to get accurate real-time

Unfortunately, following the recent exposés of Dan Ariely, Francesca Gino, and so many others, I have to agree. The "science" that makes news articles is particularly likely to be snake oil for funding and clicks. Not all of it,

I hear what you're saying, AND ... if you have a couple of hours, review some daily summary videos of the recent Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial. Coming from an "I believe the woman" background myself, I was pretty shocked.

This is so true - and thank you for the very important reminder! As I interview for new roles, it's a timely lesson, suggesting how to test what a new employer is -really- like.
