It's very clear that unlimited wealth causes brain damage. That's not an exaggeration.
It's similar to other unnatural human conditions like solitary confinement (which is widely understood to cause mental deterioration) and other types of sensory deprivation.

I thought the big selling point of gen AI was that it was more efficient
McDonald's has released an AI-generated Christmas ad
The studio behind it says they 'hardly slept' for several weeks while writing AI prompts and refining the shots — 'AI didn't make this film. We did'

this is why liberals won't call for actual consequences. nothing trump is doing is something we didn't spend two decades doing throughout the middle east, central asia and africa during the war on terror. it's just that trump brags about it on social media too much
'Double strikes' allegedly used on Venezuelan boats accused of trafficking drugs were used extensively under Obama.

It’s very clarifying that a computer that’s wrong more than half the time is just as effective as a human CEO
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.

The myth of that a bunch of young hackers can solve any problem was debunked by DOGE. But the larger moral stain is that this was a heist.
Cost saving was a cover story to shutdown investigations into Elon’s companies, steal government data and engage in genocide by proxy via killing USAID.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

I think it’s very funny when people claim AI is “inevitable”.
It’s a technology that needs tons more electricity than our current power grid can handle, breaks intellectual property laws, and cannot deliver factual information more than half the time — what is inevitable about this product?

I figure Ken Burns has one, maybe two big documentary series in him before he fully retires. What do you think they should be? My votes include Football, Hip-Hop, World War 1, Reconstruction (though Skip Gates did this one well), Iraq/Afghanistan, 19th Century Expansionism.
