It’s interesting that the theory of Quantum Mechanics emerged just after this point and threw a wrench in the idea that the universe could be neatly explained through a universal s…

AI art as a whole has just become the new clipart. The fact that it’s effortless to produce just means that it has no real artistic value, and by using it all you’re signifying to …

It also - as seen in that screenshot, had large, always visible scrollbars where it was easy to see how far down you were in a folder or document, and could easily click and drag t…

Most regular people use AI to get restaurant recommendations or cheat on homework. I think you massively overestimate just how many people actually care about the more advanced fea…

Your average PC buyer doesn’t know what an LLM is, let alone why they should run one locally. They just want a good PC that runs Word and Excel and likely find the fact that Copilo…

Which is probably why the CEO felt okay to make these comments. I would be very surprised to hear this from someone like Satya Nadella.

How many people do you think need to die before we have adequate AI safety laws?

If contrast is used to make some comments harder to read as a way to de-emphasise them from the discussion, then end result is that the visibility of the comment is determined by y…

That was more then 18 years ago though, back when Microsoft was very new to the console game. They've had a lot of successes and failures since then. A more recent example would be…

It's rare to see something as mass market and expensive as a modern AAA open world game making a "statement" that isn't extremely watered down and tepid - there's just too much at …

I can't help but notice that many of the "non ideal" examples are pretty much identical to the colors used by companies like Google: https://blog.datawrapper.de/img/full-200805_goo…

The original Blade Runner is a great example of a film that depicts the changing architecture of a city - while we see sweeping shots of mile high sky scrapers throughout the film,…

Not to mention it's a false statement. They do fund exclusives through their publishing arm, and are currently in the process of funding the next games by Remedy (creators of Contr…

Plus Ebay incentives sellers to upload their own photos and written descriptions of the product they're selling, rather then having generic product pages for multiple listings. If …

In a way this is the equivalent of an old-school carriage dispute but for apps. I wouldn't be surprised if we see more of this in the future. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carriage…
