Terrible news for all the most tedious people I’ve ever met.

Microsoft CEO says AI “risks becoming a speculative bubble unless its use spreads beyond big tech companies and wealthy economies.” Brother you’re the one building this dogshit, we’re three years and hundreds of billions in, how have you not worked it out?

Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns Al boom could falter without wider adoption

Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella has warned that Al risks becoming a speculative bubble unless its use spreads beyond big tech companies and wealthy economies.
Nadella on Tuesday said that the long-term success of the fast-developing technology would depend on it being used by a broad range of industries as well as on uptake outside of the developed world.
"For this not to be a bubble by definition, it requires that the benefits of this are much more evenly spread," said Nadella. He noted that a "tell-tale sign of if it's a bubble" would be if only tech groups were benefiting from the rise of AI, rather than companies in other sectors.

BREAKING: This dog is named Susan From Accounting

A very cute but forlorn looking brown and white puppy with big eyes and floppy ears, sitting on a forest themed blanket. Facebook post message: “Central PA Humane Society: Susan from Accounting is a 4 month old female.
We were told she is a Beagle/Australian shepherd mix”

We went to a recording of series 21 of Taskmaster tonight (on TV early next year), and it turned out to be the finale episode.

Not gonna name names or give any details - but if the rest of the series is anything like that, it’s gonna be *excellent*. 👌

This is quite an important point; if you are a UK citizen with Twitter on your phone, opening it up is like playing Russian roulette that the algorithm might commit a strict liability offence on your behalf.

Has everyone whose scroll the illegal image appeared on also committed an offence by downloading it? This is one of those AI worst case scenarios that ought to make everyone aware of the current direction of travel.
