I suppose with org like Google like this some overhaul is necessary. But I felt they are still playing politics when OpenAI/MS et, al. is murdering their profit margin.

Cop out. You can replace AI with X where X is significant climate changer and it will be always true. What AIGC is capable today will displace a large amount of workforce and many of them won’t be able to keep up the change(be it age, skill

Most modern SEA country don't have those issue: Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao, Japan, South Korea. They all had severe drug problem in the 20th century. They all have drugs get you an express ticket to firing squad, and all of th

I think this hearing showed how important playing politics is for any career. One can be absolute incompetent and clueless in everything but as long as they are good at being performative and playing politics. They can reach top level of or

`Bard isn’t currently supported in your country. Stay tuned!` Yes, I understand the pressure is huge. But all those "soon" are not helping. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I would refer to Kelsey Hightower's random twitter space[1]. The last 15 min will do. On paper it's nice and all but it's just not there yet. I've seen so many hype around WASM since 20 but the promised vision is always

The issue with Zuck's metaverse is they ignore existing products like VRChat, half-ass everything, and doesn't seem to give a crap about users minus the 2 Quest product line. Yes, I know their goal is to create walled garden and m

One thing I hate MSFT is that once they have a hit product with a name. Anything follows, related or not. will have ride on it and eventually made it meaningless. It was ActiveXXX, it was XboxXXX, it was .NET XXX, it was PowerXXX, now it&#x
