The first living thing to go through the device was a small white rat. I still have him, in fact. As you can see, the damage was not so great as they say.

one thing i love about college football is that you can locate the least consequential game of the day, between two schools you barely knew existed, and there will be grown men on television in the stands ready to kill themselves if it goes the wrong way

What stopped the Mongol conquests in South and Southeast Asia? (Several things but among them) the adhesives holding the dissimilar materials of their composite bows together was great in dry climates but the wetter the environment got the weaker and faster degrading it got.

BECAUSE THESE SYSTEMS ARE NOT "INTELLIGENT" IN ANY WAY. Chatbots are word-guessing algorithms; rhyming triggers a different set of associations from prose. This was 100% predictable to anyone who both understands how chatbots work and has no vested interest in selling them to the masses.

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

Obviously not having anyone around to check you will rot your brain (see tech billionaires) but I think in some cases it combines with actual talent and success to make someone invulnerable to being checked. Call it "Can't Tell Me Nothin" syndrome

An often overlooked angle of the end of the Roman Republic is that all the strongmen who tried or became dictators first became billionaires. Pompey, Caesar, Crassus, Antony and finally Octavian were so rich that they could buy senators, legions and ships and be no match for the state's finances.
There’s a reason Caesar was forbidden to cross the Rubicon and return to Rome with his army. It’s what separates a relatively free society from a fascist one.
