Over 1% of Russia's pre-war male population has been killed in exchange for holding less than 1% of disputed Ukrainian territory.

An entire industry unanimously crammed AI non-features into every single device and service we used and repeatedly doubled-down despite lackluster response and adoption.
But it's YOU who is hurting the economy for not being excited about it. 🙄

Sorry, another thought about this.
The current model of shareholder-driven capitalism fucking sucks.
China's overtaken the west because it doesn't just spunk money on dividends and buybacks at the same pace as the West. It hasn't cannibalised its workforce with WITCH consultants.

My students, who attend a working-class rust-belt college, openly talk abt how much they hate AI & are afraid of its consequences. I wonder how much of the oft-reported student enthusiasm for the tech is the merely result of the NYT’s Ivy League bias

I finally read computer scientist Joseph Weizenbaum’s 1976 classic “Computer Power and Human Reason.”

Don’t threaten me with a good time
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action
Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.
