Tesco self-checkout already has facial recognition connected to other local stores (including those of other major supermarkets), so this probably isn't needed. If you were stupid enough to steal a pack of gum (some of my family are) y

I know I'm late to reply, but to explain since many people seemed to be confused by what I said –– I think the speed at which xAI has caught up with the competition from nothing is quite impressive, and the lengths they had to go to to

As someone who believes AI will completely eliminate humans I wish I was could only be worried about job security. But to answer your question, AI will ultimately eliminate every job in the sense that if you believe AI will eventually be ab

They're already being eliminated... I'm using freelance designers much much less these days because I just don't need them anymore with AI tools. I've seen others use AI so they don't have to hire engineers to build

AGI doesn't have a strict definition though so I think it would depend a lot what you see "AGI" as being. We're well on our way to building AIs which are competent at many tasks. Assuming an AGI doesn't need to be a

Obviously it's a multi-facade problem, but the other commenter was closer to the truth imo. There is no natural population growth in the UK anymore. We have below replacement rate birth rates. Immigration is the only net driver of popu

Still, you have to give it to him, it works, and this has allowed him to do some incredible things beyond just hype. What he's pulled off with xAI more recently is really quite incredible. And obviously this isn't first time Elon

No, not really. I find it almost impossible to get AI to generate anything of any significant complexity. For me the main difference is that I search and read much less when problem solving. In the past I'd often have to search docs an

This sounds interesting. I think you're jumping into the tech too quickly though. I think the first thing you should do is introduce agentic AI? What is it and what can it do that previous computational paradigms couldn't? Jumping

I think there's a lot of things that's hurting the job market for tech workers right now (the large influx of code camp and sci-comp graduates being a big one), but in my opinion the main thing is this: https://www.stat

Wouldn't the alternative be worse for most people? If you're a global company it would be silly to assume all your readers speak/read a single language. AI translations (assuming that's what this is) are not perfect, but

Also I'd argue that a lack of layoffs at a company probably causes stagnation and inefficiency. I don't thin the only good argument for layoffs is that a company has no choice because of cash flows. I see this in the public sector

Win 98 was basically perfect imo... Everything about that UI was simple and predictable. Menus were descriptive and information dense. No unnecessary widgets and fancy UI. If you're looking for pure productivity then Win 98 was great.

To be fair to MS I remember almost everyone was copying aspects of the Metro UI in the early 2010s.
