it's so cool to read articles about how chatGPT gives people psychosis, that workers resent AI being shoved into all their applications and that AI companies are more overvalued than right before the dot com bubble burst simultaneously as the white house brags about how chatGPT runs the FDA now

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

Bring Me The News, The Tribune, MPR News, and other local places are much better sources than national ones who barely know what the DFL is.
In re: LRT, Minnesota is the opposite of a news desert - the Twin Cities has dozens of responsible news outlets staffed by incredibly professional journalists. They do not need your breathless, speculative assistance in covering this story. Post *local* coverage as it emerges, and ignore the noise.

Oh hey would you look at that. Guess Microsoft literally funds OpenAI so that OpenAI can spend money on Microsoft azure, which Microsoft then invests back into OpenAI. Microsoft just feeding itself cash, losing more every single time, for some reason. Amazing!
