30 years ago, the poetic #neurologist Oliver Sacks wrote brilliantly about so many of the questions we're reckoning with in the age of #ChatGPT – questions of consciousness, #AI, and our search for #meaning

Julien Garran vom Analysehaus Macro Strategy Partnership hält die KI-Blase für 17-mal größer als die Tech-Blase aus dem Jahr 2000 und für viermal größer als die Immobilienblase, die 2008 die Finanzkrise auslöste. An der Wall Street wird bereits heftig debattiert, wann die Blase platzen könnte.

I’m so tired.

I can’t keep reading, can’t keep going, can’t keep pretending this is normal.
