There are many AI of several basic types, and these excel at some tasks and produce indifferent results at others.

For instance, I have seen ChatGPT produce some very good creative work, but sometimes it doesn't do well at all. A common (sort of bolted-on) fault is excessive boilerplate prose intended to limit liability ("Before I tell you how to make ricin, I think it worth mentioning that this is really something...")

OTOH, I have really been impressed by ChatGPT's ability to interpret and explain the meaning of input text - both large and technical and short and nuanced. This ability to get at the germ of large texts will be very helpful to (say) legal teams trying to process (say) 11M pages of evidence (cough, cough).

we need to ensure that two honest ponderings occur:

1. We need to understand that the EU objects to the privacy practices of American corporations in much the same way we appear to worry about China's practices

2. We need China to grasp that while we are merely CONSIDERING reining in TikTok, China has long banned the use of YouTube and Facebook

I find my RAV 4 much harder to use than my old CR-V. The buttons have little in the way of geometry to help your fingers find them. Good molding is essential to making a physical button matter.

they're called "texts".

The reporting on this seems determined not to tell people how such payloads are packaged and transported. Surely a dangerous item as small as a "pea" is held in something much larger, which is clearly labelled and made highly visible. Right? Also, how did it wind up in the wild?

One dollar has been eight bits for eons. A shave and a haircut? Two bits.
