Look, I have my share of frustrating experiences with AI every day because we're being pushed to use it at work and for most tasks it's... umderwelming.

But people do use it. Be it for doing stupid memes, planning their days, life coaching or searching the web. And as a company you want to be where your customers are. AI companies are basically just trying to push usage, now, by spending huge amounts of cash. That's why they do big talks about AGI but they are all creating freaking AI browsers.

Once AI becomes the de-facto standard way people consume information, your company wants to be visible by AI, their products to be recommended by AI and purchasable from AI. Some companies might actually benefit from it, most will not (like it happened when everyone had to have an ecommerce site and shitty mobile app) but that's what I see happening.

Ah the good old times when we thought it couldn't get any eviler than Cheney...

you had me at "uncostitutional"

Trump

you can actually use them for useful things, like purchasing on such leading ecommerce sites as.... uh.... gettrumpfragrances.com and.... er... gettrumpsneakers.com.

Says you, my trolley is pretty hot!

the (false) sin/cos dichotomy

but... but.... if sin/cos is false, that is literally tan ! (yes, I was frequently bullied in high school, why do you ask?)

What is drawing top comedians to Saudi, a place where you get killed for saying or writing things the ruling family doesn't like?

I see a trend there but I can't quite.... Wait, could it be loads of money?

Legal loophole: it's not anti-capitalistic if you are just stupid

I track the location of hundreds maybe thousands of phones every day for minutes at the time. I see people using them while I commute. Where can I collect my fee from the US government for my services?

It's more that each person will have a moment in their life when they are at their gayest

To be fair all kings initially became kings exactly the way Trump is trying to do. No matter how they try to paint it as a God-given right or create elaborate origin myths, it all started with violence, marrying into power, betrayal, political scheming and a lot of inbreeding.

It's kind of appropriate that a kingdom recognizes this (although that was probably not what they were trying to do).

Well, "study" is already such a radical-left, woke concept! Like all those "studies" about vaccines. True MAGA Patriots go by gut feeling and by other things that are also produced in the guts!

Best (or at least most addictive) use of AI I've seen so far is https://anycrap.shop/

facing scrutiny for saying BS? Come on, that's this admin's whole thing. The only thing he's facing is probably a "ha, that was a good one" with a complimentary slap on the back.

I don't know how to reconcile all these studies saying that AI productivity gains have not materialized and that AI agents are atill uncapable of even the simplest of office tasks with the very measurable loss of jobs.

And I see this same dissonance at my job. Revenue going up, hiring going down, layoffs every quarter and a big push for everyone to use AI. But at the same time basically no real success story from all this increased AI usage. Probably just me, but I just don't get it.

I can't imagine how sternly worded our letter to Russia is going to be! Scary stuff.

I use Every Door. It allows to add information to various types of features (shops, buildings and more) and I find it easy to use.

Might not be the biggest risk to your life but it's 2.3% out of 55 Millions death (so, just to put things into perspective, we're talking 1.6M deaths per year).

Besides, the risk is not only death directly in an accident. For those 33% who died from heart diseases: stress is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and the paper does mention specifically work stress as a risk factor

The risk of a cardiovascular event was higher in patients with a history of social isolation (OR, 2.47), marital stress (OR, 2.28), work stress (OR, 3.2), childhood abuse (OR, 2.78), or trauma (OR, 2.67).

Again not all of it will be due to commuting to work, but raising your stress levels by having you commute needlessly in traffic is not good for your health even if you don't die in a car crash.

How does the madman theory work when your head honcho is an actual, bona fide madman? Don't go anywhere, we'll find out right after this quick commercial war!
