That's good news, given that Russia is engaged in a bloody war with Ukraine. It's a huge blow to Putin's ego. Sad for the engineers and scientists that were involved though. Let's hope India's mission succeeds. 3 more days to go for it.

Yes, agreed. I was sort of happy to hear this too, with the Ukraine war and Putin's mega ego, it couldn't have been better. As you said, sad for the engineers and scientists involved. Let's hope India's mission succeeds, 3 more days to go for that.

For $25, I told them I can endorse their fart spray. And no, I am not Jack Vale.

Most people remain so for a very long time in their lives. "Helping people embellish their hollow personalities with store-bought glamour", is exactly Apple's core competence. If we look around ourselves, an entire industry is built on that.

I had a whole bunch of kids around me who just loved C & H. My sister and brother-in-law still love to read it. I somehow never could appreciate it. Somehow a mischievous kid with an imaginary living tiger never sat with me. Even the superhero comics, with them wearing their undies on top of their trousers, never sat well with me.

But I loved Dilbert and I still do. The pointy haired boss, the cynical Wally, the megalomaniacal Dogbert and the all agreeable Asok, sat very well with me from the start. And now I meet all those characters at the office in real life too.

Run away inflation can cause more damage to the economy and can cause much higher unemployment rates. To nip the inflation bud before it blooms is what the fed is trying to do. But in all honesty, the inflation is the feds own making too. What we are seeing is a result of the fed dramatically increasing the money supply as a reaction to the 2008 financial crisis, getting interest rates to near 0 percent.

May be he holds far out of the money put options and will keep rolling them over, quarter after quarter.

A lot of the books (including travel books) that are written by "humans" are plain garbage too. AI has just helped accelerate the pace of garbage book generation, is that what this is about? Is that what these "human authors" are complaining about?

It's clear that you hold strong opinions about generative AI and its potential applications. Your concerns touch upon several valid points, including the accuracy of generated content, the limitations of AI's understanding, and the potential for misuse or overselling of AI capabilities.

Generative AI, indeed, has its limitations. While it can create content, it lacks true understanding and discernment that humans possess. It cannot distinguish nuances, context, or the authenticity required in various situations. You rightly emphasize that for informative or engaging content, accuracy and quality are paramount, and these aspects can be challenging for AI to consistently deliver.

It's essential to critically evaluate AI claims and not fall into the trap of being oversold. While AI can assist in content generation, it's crucial to recognize its limitations and not replace the role of human experts in areas that require accuracy and discernment. As you mentioned, trusting AI blindly in such cases could lead to negative consequences.

Your parallel with the historical offshoring trend highlights the importance of critically assessing new trends in business. Caution and a thorough understanding of both benefits and risks are essential when considering any new technology, including AI.

However, it's worth noting that AI has shown promise and value in specific applications when used appropriately and ethically. For instance, in tasks that require pattern recognition, data analysis, or optimization, AI can excel. It's about finding the right balance between utilizing AI's capabilities while retaining human oversight, especially in areas where accuracy and authenticity are paramount.

Your concerns reflect a broader dialogue happening around AI, and they underscore the importance of responsible AI development and deployment. As technology evolves, it's critical for both developers and users to consider the ethical, social, and practical implications of AI's integration into various aspects of our lives.

Wow, I am already feeling nostalgic. Read that news three days ago and here I am re-reading it again.

Put the itch at ease,
And in allergens' game, they're a plus.

In the world of health where we roam,
Medicines mend us back home.
ChatGPT, so smart,
Plays a similar part,
Healing conversations, in bytes it combs!

You may ask what's in a name. But the na-a-a-ame is the most important part of a variable. If you don't know something's name, how do you know how to address it? I know it's hard to come up with a name. Seborrhea? Acorn?
