Separate your concerns. Don't throw away your PhD for a patent you may not end up getting anyway. That would be a tragic situation. WRT to the patent, consult an IP attorney. IANAL, but I suspect their advice is going to be get your Ph

Americans are losing their jobs in record numbers, yet the administration is actively working to strip millions of their healthcare - or simply price them out of it. Food assistance is being weaponized, not to help, but to pressure the vuln

Physicists take the imaginary numbers out of quantum mechanics which resulted in making quantum mechanics even more difficult to work with. Great job! Any mathematician could have predicted that result. TBH, I thought physicists had a bet

Are you familiar with the term "malicious compliance"? Brought to you by the administration who doesn't see fit to follow any other law, but boy oh boy will they enforce it if it hurts others. Sorry - it's evil.

How is this not Reddit? Not saying it is, but that's a question I imagine you're going to hear a lot. Also, what stops Reddit from quickly pivoting to this and putting you out of business?

Using poor, hungry people as pawns in their political games is evil. Full stop.

Stupid people are unable to learn from history or the experience of others, they must learn everything first-hand. The decline of American education over the course of the past 50 years or so has resulted in a not insignificant portion of A

This paragraph is wild to me: According to the newspaper, the jury determined the NCAA “unreasonably increased the risk of harm of head impacts to Robert Geathers over and above the risks inherent to playing football.” And it also determin

FOMO is driving AI investment - everyone is behaving as though the one who comes up with the "good" or "true" AI first will win everything, and 2nd place and beyond will get wiped-out. Typically, what that means is leade

The real problem is the Ready, Fire, Aim! approach to developing that starts with writing code first. As the article states, successful teams begin with architecture: define the components of the solution and how they interact, along with i

Why? Because we evolved, we weren't manufactured. WRT how to become the "best" version of ourselves, that depends entirely on how you define "best", and there's no universal agreement on that. That's why s

Salary negotiation is dependent on supply and demand. If there's a high demand for your niche skill, and few people have that skill, then you can negotiate - you're a price maker. Otherwise, if the demand is low and the supply is

What does "verified" mean? What qualifications do these people need to have? How are they vetted? Is the process transparent?

The challenging question is what problem is Grokipedia solving? Larry Sanger notes at the end of this article that most people are going to continue using LLMs to ask encyclopedic questions, and since the articles in Grokipedia are created

The article isn't claiming Wikipedia is perfect - it argues that Grokipedia is intentionally deceptive. There’s a difference between flawed and weaponized.

Being made by GM is already a strike against the vehicle, in my opinion. No CarPlay just kills the deal.

ALL companies are going to say layoffs are due to AI (if it's remotely possible to do so). Investors think senior leadership is smart and boosts the stock price, and competitors waste their time researching what they're missing ou

Seems to confirm Elon Musk is evil, no? Especially when considered along with his political "antics" and behaviors? Gaslighting at this scale is unconscionable.

So, what you're saying is there needs to be a religious authority on Christianity to be driving this AI. Now all you have to do is get all the world's Christians to agree on such an authority!

That was my first thought. Seems as though they don't have a rudimentary knowledge of how LLMs work.

Unfortunately titled - it should be Why I'm Switching to BSD Licensing. I thought I was going to read an article about why the author switched to BSD presumably from Linux. But it's all about switching from GPLv2/GPLv3 lice

I think Tesla would be better off for the long-term if they cut Elon loose. Elon served his purpose and did a great job showing the value of EVs and that they didn't have to be econobox cars. Job well done! But as a mature company faci
