Yep - this is the same BS marketing campaign the Chevron tried to (succeeded actually) pull of in the early 2000's WRT global warming. There's was energy. The campaigns were like "I will take the bus to work" or "I

"...[the prediction that AI will continue to grow] will be proven wrong because everybody hates it." I have no love for Zuckerberg or Lucky or Musk or any of those gadooshbags, but I don't hate generative AI. It's a usef

It was a general statement about any company with a value to employee ration that high. It's about sharing gains of a team as a whole.

$1.75T / 25,000 employees = $70M/employee. That's pretty impressive. You would think even the lowest paid employees performing routine labor at the company would be pulling in multiple 6-figure salaries. I wonder if that&#x27

Yep. I guess it was "hidden" until they published the method to detect the signal.

This article doesn't address the title question for me. It starts off by implying some insight into whether or not our consciousness persists or simply dissolves into nothingness, but concludes with the same old trope about our bodies

Why are the after pictures modifying attributes that are not part of the cosmetic adjustment? For instance, in the 'after' images skin tones are more "tan" (less pale), eye shadow is more intense, in one scene the woman

If you're going to post an AI generated response, just say it's AI generated.

...Yeah, for the 10's of articles I actually read in a day (at least with cobcern about their validity) that amount of homework would probably blow up my screen time by 5X, and result in my divorce. "You left out the "trustab

How do I know this entire thing isn't AI generated? Why can't we just have a third party vetting service for true content, where the content is labeled with a serial number and URL, and I can just look it up on the third party ser

This makes zero sense as 3rd presidential terms are barred by the 22nd Amendment. Why am I even writing this?

Ha, so true. I'm a total scavenger. I always scan the ground closely when I'm walking. Oddly, for whatever reason, I'm either just looking for interesting things or specifically for diamonds. I've found 3 diamonds in my

That's an interesting thought. I wonder if you can quantify this belief? That Weibull (presumably) distribution would be an interesting and useful thing to know.

Seriously, isn't society crumbling into a distopian future fast enough? Now we need to bet on innocent people dying? Humans are the worst.

You can film them, just not obstruct with them executing their official duties. Personally, I'd wait another 3 years to visit until this brainless ass clown is out of office (or maybe 10 years later after our society recovers a bit fro

Except I (and a quickly increasing number of slow to adopt colleagues) use generative AI everyday as a mechanical engineering manager. I recall the hype of all the others - especially block chain and NFTs, brainstorming if these were worth

Nice - right? How annoying is that. If a public human can read content, why can't an LLM? ChatGPT/Claude also (at least the for me, also don't consistently fully review the content I upload for review. Sometimes it's ful

First, I applaud what you're doing. Second, if you've already pondered these ideas, please disregard. Third, I'm 49 years old and I was heavily into the "payola is evil, liberate music back to the ears of the listener
