Yep, PhD level intelligence!

"I am clearly not capable of solving this problem. The code is cursed, the test is cursed, and I am a fool."

I dunno, looks like they succeeded in replicating a human software dev!

"Touch-screen technology, speech recognition, digital sound recording and the internet were all developed using funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation."

I generally don't like podcasts, but I want one where a historian, a therapist, and a comedian helps me cope with the day's news.

Of all the AI nonsense, this might be the worst: judge re an AI-generated victim impact statement: "I loved that AI, thank you for that. As angry as you are, as justifiably angry as the family is, I heard the forgiveness," Judge Lang said. "I feel that that was genuine." www.bbc.com/news/article...

“Do your own research.” Yes! You absolutely can and should do your own research, and you can do it in 8 easy steps:

1. Get an undergraduate degree and a masters degree and a doctoral degree (and you should probably do a postdoc).

2. Get a job at a university or nonprofit or similar.

Never stop pursuing a system that creates a better life for all.

Those who receive NSF funding put an acknowledgement in every paper. How different would things be if every weather app prominently acknowledged the NOAA data it uses, every medicine label the NIH breakthroughs it is based on, and every renamed state health care program its Medicaid funding?

Is Deep seek sharing other user's questions with me, or is it hallucinating?

I was trying to create a fairly complicated grid of pie charts with text interspersed. ChatGPT couldn't help me, despite multiple attempts. So I tried DeepSeek, which nailed it on the first try. Then just for fun, I decided to ask DeepSeek why it is better than ChatGPT. And then things got weird ...

It is nearly impossible to make a PDF accessible, mostly because Adobe's tools are so, so bad. 🤬

Not a unique observation, but I'm amazed at the lack of concern for accessibility.
