I guess I don't think this way? Obviously with hindsight and a do-over I'd be incredibly rich. But that's a silly thing to fret over. I'm not the kind of person who would've bought bitcoin early on because I didn&#x

Obviously people have zero awareness of or interest in their true impact on the environment. This extends to every facet of life and is not at all limited to AI use. Do you really think the average person could within 2 orders of magnitude

I’m totally the opposite. If I don’t use something for a couple of months I just throw it out. I can rebuy it on Amazon if I really need it and that almost never happens.

OK, how mixed is that mixed bag? Is it totally useless or is it the greatest thing ever? If neither, where in the middle do you put it? How often does it provide plausible but incorrect completions? Is it every few minutes or is it a couple

This was the plot of the Justin Timberlake film In Time. Everybody stops aging and time becomes a currency. Run out of it and you die. Rich people drive at walking speed for safety because they can still die in car crashes.

This is the best/most fun way to bet on the Oscars. You pick the winner and then assign 1-25 (or whatever) points to it (using each number for only one category) and if you get it right you get that number of points. It basically preve

Yes, 100% of the time. My job is in operations at a marketing agency. Scripts that I used to code in an hour take seconds now. Scripts that used to take hours take minutes. The fast turnaround means there is almost no “cost” to experimentin

I’ll try to not be boring here with my answer. If I could only do one thing with my phone (app-wise) it’d either be music or podcasts. If I had to pick one, I’d go with podcasts. So I’m going to say my podcast app of choice, OverCast.
