It is a strange irony that the state responsible for fostering this industry, and benefits a great deal from it, is also the best protected from it.

In the spirit of universalism, perhaps the state should provide the same rights to people whose data is brokered by CA based companies.

IMO science news seems to have degraded somewhat into "sciencertainment".

Call me crazy, but I'd rather see a boring table of numbers, or a highly pixelated representation of actual data, than an artistists impression: I want a scientist's impression.
Fortunately in this case the referenced paper doesn't disappoint.

Although I suspect it's mor likely McKinsey are wondering how to get people to consult them on how to sell useless AI apps. They make money either way.

There is a non-trivial risk that having an AI predict and paraphrase the annunciation of one's thoughts may bias the user towards the AI's 'world view'.

Research strongly supports the notion that what one says can influence what one believes, so on the balance of probability: biases inherent in the tool will be adopted by the user, given sufficient time.

One such study can be found here.

I have to say: The punmanship employed by whomever author this headline is magnificent. David Carradine would have approved.

You are correct about the SpaceX reference, but your snark is leaves a stink.

I used to feel smarter having read Slashdot.

What a daft article. Competition is good. Proving the same thing twice is good too: knowing the abilities and techniques needed to discover something is often more important than any specific discovery.

This comment section is worse than a Kenosha dumpster fire at a BLM rally. I'm not even angry Slashdot :*(

This ozempic shortage is getting weird.

I heard Gary secretly uses Duck Duck Go.
