Is it Hopium or Hope Porn?
I have heard the term 'hopium' used since my earliest days as a doomer.  'Hope' + 'opium' = 'hopium.' Hope as an opiate drug that numbs the mind and keeps us believing the delusion that a future witho...

Still the best all-round exposition of GenAI from last year. Spolier alert: SLMs are OK! But why do we have to give up everything for the benefit of some of the most despicable men to ever set foot in the 21st Century?
