Cause AI is not magic. And how flaky it is, because more and more obvious the larger the systems get. If your false negatives are 1 in 10. And you have to check 10 million reviews a day lot of shit gets through. I know guys who work on Amaz

If the majority of debt was going towards infra, building new factories or improving old ones, reducing cost of housing/health/edu of workers, its all cool. But for a long time now, a mega machine exists that diverts it towards re

Just watched the utter sewage that was Rebel Moon and was thinking someone needs to install Bill Watterson as content approver at Netflix asap, cause the amount of visuals to convey absolutely nothing is reaching new highs of mindlessness.
