This is, unfortunately, a problem that many tech companies have made worse and more accessible as they have removed friction from these systems. Most folks will remember the 2019 temination of lootbox key trading for CS:GO on Steam. https:

Wow. A lot to unpack here. "Propose new alloys or composites" is certainly quite a phrase, given the context. Has an LLM ever generated any complex CAD design like this that has been built & worked?

This article appears to be focused mostly on the line of argument that there is some cabal of builders that keep housing prices high. This also mostly seems to use Dallas as a case study, which is weird, b/c you can't test a lot o

Quite a study in living life as an artist who loves art, but not the industry that has taken it over.

Also, the narrative of the paper references the lead author's dad telling him a story as a child based on not-uncommon geological features, alone. Either this is some amazing coincidence or self-confirmation bias on the part of the aut

There are several papers arguing that there is no "one event" a la https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S001282522... and others.

This is dangrous, as I've long held that inscrutible cloud billing was one of the greatest protections we had against a runaway superintelligent AI. Now we only have poor IAM UX to fall back on. /s
