“One notable MIT study found that 95 percent of companies that integrated AI saw zero meaningful growth in revenue. For coding tasks, one of AI’s most widely hyped applications, another study showed that programmers who used AI coding tools actually became slower at their jobs.”
AI Completely Failing to Boost Productivity, Says Top Analyst
AI may or may not excel at a lot of things, but from an economic standpoint, it's definitely not making us more productive.

'The present may, indeed, seem full to us, but if we have filled it with play, etc., the appearance of fullness will be confined to the present. Memory will find it empty'.

Also new today, my fourth piece of advice on writing about history of philosophy: about focusing on the primary text instead of secondary literature (and how to use secondary literature when you do use it).

www.historyofphilosophy.net/rules-writin...

#philosophy #philsky #writingtips
Rules for Writing 4: The primary text is primary | History of Philosophy without any gaps
This overlaps with a point I made in the previous series of “20 rules for doing history of philosophy,” but I’m going to say something similar here because it is so important.

My most controversial seasonal takes:

1) Die Hard is not a Christmas movie
2) Home Alone 2 is better than the original
3) Jaffa cakes are biscuits
