"So, what about that hourly wage discrepancy?" Well, I don't know, since it's in your title, it seems you asked the AI and their reply was that the male employee had more experience. Obviously that answer didn't sat

I wouldn't qualify "These commitments appear to rely on offsetting carbon emissions rather than decarbonizing directly" as greenwashing, although it is indeed a bit misleading.

"Overall, renewables and nuclear together met nearly 60% of the growth in energy demand". That's not enough. It's obvious this is going in the right direction but adoption is still too slow, considering how cheap renewab

I absolutely assume that project owners will use LLM tools to protect themselves, but it seems like it whoever spends more will find more security issues. And potentially a malicious actor could decide to spend more tokens on one specific p

Of course just having the hash of the file wouldn't work, they would have to do something more complicated, a kind of perceptual hash. It's not easy, but I think it is doable. But then I suspect lots of parts in a closed source pr

But that would accelerate the vehicle's depreciation, which is costly. I suspect it would make more financial sense to have a home battery, they should have compared the prices of home batteries vs car batteries. And for the national g

What does it have to do with hiring freeze? They say 20% are agentic power users at Google. Can't they teach the others? Why would someone from outside be somehow more likely to use AI, or more likely to influence their colleagues?
