Advances to round 2/7 to be able to do a powerpoint presentation so that companies will, at best, be forced to put some pointless label as a legal loophole, that consumers will promptly ignore because everyone will have it and it'

Because that would mean AI isn't going to replace entire industries, which is the only way to justify the, not billions, but trillions in market value that AI leaders keep trying to justify.

Regardless of the value of Brexit, people tend to be biased against things that have happened or are around them when things are bad. Like when people are against a president if the economy isn't doing well, regardless of if the altern

I'd like to also add 'perceived cost aversion': AI generates a solution that's functional, but that's at a 70% quality level. But then it's really hard to make changes because it feels horrible to spend 1 hour+

I think people underestimate how arbitrary editorial decisions are for any media. Things like PBS and Wikipedia might have biases, but idk if it's realistic to expect better.

Instead of a dollar from github users, I think it should just be a hefty tax on big tech companies that have valuations of over a billion. The nature of software and tech means that there are massive monopolies where winner takes all. We sh

Oh God, they actually put that awful logo front and center. I'd always thought it would be a go-like thing where the put the mascot away for everything except for the minor hero section or buried in the footer. RIP Perl.

At the risk of being pedantic, it's not AI that requires massive resources, chatgpt 3.x was trained on a few million dollars. The jump to trillions being table stakes happened because everyone started using free services and there was

That line doesn't even make any sense. AI usage for a project is binary (either it requires a person, or it doesn't, there's no such thing where an AI is good for a team for a team of three but not a team of two). And we can
