We’ve never had more compute power in history and we’re racing towards unprecedented “close enough” outcomes. Its mind boggling.
Can't wait for the loosened up, non-perfect, but quickly shipped AI-enhanced updates to hit my banking and insurance services next year.
Im sure there will be no issues there at all.

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

Texas Instruments has discontinued the venerable Ti-89 (and titanium) graphing calculator this year. Is this the last consumer device to ship with a Motorola 68k processor? #Ti89 #68k #Calculator

Valve never had to say Ai once and the world is thrilled about these products. They are a private company and serve the users, not the investors.

this is an absolute steal for the AI companies. I've made this much selling my book to one department of one company. huge tech companies should be paying orders of magnitude more than this for the work they've stolen bsky.app/profile/ther...
AUTHORS!!
Remember that case where a bunch of authors sued AI for stealing their work? And WON?
Well, the settlement money has been announced. Each WORK that got thefted will be compensated $3k (split 50/50 bw publisher + author). So authors will be compensated $1500 per WORK stolen.

The world never stopped loving Topanga.
UPDATE: Nielsen data just in for Tuesday's Halloween episode and...amazingly...DWTS added viewers again, and has now increased its audience for a stunning six consecutive weeks. It averaged 6.735M viewers, up from 6.63 last week.
I hope @andyrichter.co is getting a bonus

Since the modern Nielsen era started in 1991, no show launched in the fall had seen its ratings go up for five consecutive weeks... until DANCING WITH THE STARS did it this fall.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.
