    The courts are 100% going to have to interpret what is "sufficient human control" at some point.

    I've seen junior engineers be productive on their first day in the industry because of AI, so I don't think the article is the whole truth. The example math is boundary-pushing and…

    Is it? Turning a book into an AI model is lot more transformative than turning an AI Model into another AI Model.

    Now I'm being super pedantic, but every town can't have the same "landmark" law. What makes a law a "landmark" is that other municipalities look to it for direction. In a world whe…

    The municipality is already qualifying the sentence! Instead of "NYC announces click-to-cancel law" they qualify it with "landmark". I think it's silly for a municipality to lie (b…

    The term MMO is about the game/server architecture more than the size of the game. MMOs are online games with a single (or sharded) persistent gamestate. That's it. Most shooters h…

    There's 1655 calories in a pound of uncooked rice, so with 330lbs you are sitting at ~1500 calories a day for a whole year. You wouldn't starve to death, but you'd absolutely want …

    The layoffs being "due to AI" is usually about freeing up the budget to build a couple datacenters and buy GPUs. And they have to layoff 14% of their workforce because they are buy…

    Not everyone will take a job that requires clearance because they are usually "defense" related.

    Thanks for clarifying. I was thinking of the CCPA which does have some revenue or user count minimums.

    It's kinda wild that you don't need to be a professional engineer to store PII. The GDPR and other frameworks for PII usually do have a minimum size (in # of users) before they app…

    The cards _could_ be copyrightable, would probably be essentially a coin flip if you took it to court. No individual card text (limited to just the mechanics) is copyrightable but …

    Gemini works well enough in Search and in Meet. And it's baked into the products so it's dead simple to use. I don't think Google is targeting developers with their AI, they are ta…

    I can get a cheeseburger delivered, or there's a dozen places within a 15 minute walk to get one. I can hardly leave the house without seeing an ad for one or some other fast food …

    Cheeseburgers are everywhere, are addictive to some, and eventually eating enough will kill you. Put another way: If McDonalds sees I eat 5 cheeseburgers a day, at what point do th…
