    Someone did notice, as they panicked at the cost. What didn't happen is any analysis of cost/benefit up front. Many of the corporate decisions around AI have seemed characterized b…

    My company has tried to produce an AI oriented process, and I just don't see it making sense. The basic problem is, no one on our side has actually doubted the ability of candidate…

    Sure, but remember the use case being discussed is interrogation. You have a tool that can collect what someone is trying to type, but they aren't trying to type. And, my point was…

    Remember that a lot of people have no internal monologue, and even for those that do, it's silent most of the time. They might hope to get that, but the typical case is for there t…

    The more surprising thing with YouTube is how much obvious copyright infringement is in ads. The whole platform seems oriented around copyright enforcement, but ads seem to get a p…

    Their data collection is naturally based off of people talking or typing: https://condu.it/thought/10k-hours So you'd need to force people to somehow think the same things they do …

    Unfortunately, people will truly try to fake the "paper trail". People posted sped up video of them creating art as proof they made it, so people also used AI to try to generate th…

    It's not a forthcoming disruption. They've been using "AI" for various visual effects tasks for a long time already. If something is not being done using AI now, it's because the r…
