    I just went to the Stack Overflow homepage, showing newest questions first, and the latest question just asked 13 minutes ago is already closed. And the majority of the questions o…

    I believe OpenAI actually wanted their next model to be seen as a potential cybersecurity threat because they were jealous that Mythos got that label

    I think the main problem is that this will not survive very long once implemented. Politician A will promise "no VAT on bread" to get elected. The next guy will promise "no VAT on …

    "Official archive" it says. Seems unofficial. Actually, the domain name is probably a trademark violation.

    Some things always happen too. You need to avoid certain terms.

    I think of this in reverse. It's legal for the government to track mail - who sent a message, and who it's going to. They have access to the "outside of the envelope". But it's not…

    I wonder if the pace of change in AI will push you back to the "ready to retire" state. Sure, AI is exciting, and it reignites a passion. But everything you learn today will be obs…

    Given that the World Wide Web was invented in 1989... are you saying that the Internet was safer when only FTP and Usenet existed?

    The government is claiming that Facebook bought Meta and Whatsapp because it couldn't compete with them. Is that illegal? I don't understand! Every company that buys another compan…

    No, not in the AI space. Disagree that you can be successful by avoiding risk and conserving resources.
