If it doesn't change its own roadmap, then don't expect it to turn around any time soon. Still heading for the cliff with eyes wide shut and the steering wheel locked.

Internally all businesses report monthly, except a few that have 13, 4 week periods in a year. It's how their accounting software works. The only difference between what they do monthly ( which could simply be posted on their web sites ) and the quarterly dog and pony shows they put on is that quarterly, management has to get up on stage and explain why they did or didn't make targets this quarter. I'ld be perfectly happy to have only one or two dog and pony shows per year if their GL showed up on their web sites no more than 2 weeks after the month-end.

The US Is Now coming out of the closet

Well, that should kill off any chance of OpenAI ever becoming profitable ;-)

Must be really popular with the poor unemployed serfs struggling to pay for expensive electricity that used to be generated by cheap clean natural gas. It must feel like " kick 'em while they're down ".

Moving the beavers will definitely help, if you move them to Iceland. Be a bit expensive though.

Sounds like Washington wants to be the only one with a back door.

I would have no problem with this if it were clearly labeled as fake and for entertainment purposes only ( some can be quite entertaining ). The problem I have is that you can spend 5-10 minutes watching the slop before you realize that it's slop. And as slop producers skills improve, the number of videos that you don't realize are slop, and actually believe are real, increases. Eventually you even believe that Trump is really good ( or bad, depending upon your initial bias ) based upon made up slop that you believed. Essentially now you can't believe anything that you see on the web. Slop and fake news channels are making us all either cynics or dupes, or both depending upon the subject.

There's too much lying going on in our elections already. Bring back paper ballots and scrutineers. It won't hurt us to wait till the next morning to find out who really won.

What I'ld like would be for an AI ( or any technology ) that could over dub the actors voices in their native language so that I can understand them. In so many movies today the actors seem to be mumbling and you almost have to rely on subtitles to understand them.

Why do they still persist in calling it a sport ? There doesn't seem to be any aspect of enjoyment in it.

What happened to the coral during the Medieval warm period, or during the Roman warm period, or during the Minoan warm period, or during all the other periodic warm periods when the planet was several degrees warmer than it is now ? Triremes with locals flinging buckets of water up into the air ? Just wondering.

The only good use of AI in the classroom would be to monitor kids ( and teachers ) use of AI to cheat on tests, homework, and assignments. Unless you do the work yourself, you never really learn how to do it.

So 50% of Netflix households include someone who prefers Japanese cartoons to whatever slop Disney et al produce

This has already happened in government. Over half the decision makers have already been replaced. The only difference is that instead of being replaced by AI, they've been replaced by lobbyists. The politicians are still there just to maintain the illusion that we still have a say in government.
